HIS PASSING AWAY WAS PEACE- FUL. New York, Dec. 2.—Jay Gould is dead. He breathed his last at his home on Fifth avenue at 9:15 o'clock this norning, surrounded by his chi'dren. He dicd as one going to sleep. There were no signs of pain and he was conscious until a few moments defore he died. A short time before he passed away he called his children one after another to his side and bade them a long farewell. This done, he closed his eyes and was gone almost before his loved ones realized it was death. AS TOLD BY HIMSELF. MR. GOULD RELATES THE STORY OF LIFE TO AN INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. New York, Dec. 2.—Jay Gould never had time, nor inclination eith er, to write an autobiography, though if he had it would probably have bad a great sale. There is extant, bowever, the story of his life told by himself, and a Story it is, too. He told it once about ten years ago to a congressional investigating committee. At that time Mr. Gould wus gathering up railways so fast and in such a peculiar fashion that it was thought best to have a con gressioual committee look into the| situation. Mr. Gould met with the committee wud was more than usual-| ly affable and He 9 HIS communicative. ‘ed to me as if the very interesting]. | die in the last ditch. was asked to tell something of his} tory and he complied readily. “I was born in this state, at Rox bury, Delaware county, about 200) miles from New York on the 27th! day of May, 1836. My father own edas umand kept a dairy of} twenty cows. I the bey in the family, so Thad to attend to the cows in the morning and assiet my sisters in milking them. 1 used | jto take them out in the morning an dq}. go for them at night.

My duties employed me from 6 in the morning until 10 o'clock at night. In the meantime I had acquired a taste for mathematics and especially for sur- veying and engineering. I took them up after [left school. I used to get up at 3 o'clock and study from 3 un- til 6, when I kad to open the store and I finally got a pretty good idea of that branch and, concluded to start out as a surveyor.

I explained | the arrangement for payment and took my book out to enter the amount of the bill, but the man who kept the house declared with an oath that he would not have any- thing of the kind. You don't know this man, said he. ‘He has failed three times. You have got the money, I know you have, and I want my bill.’ Thad not a cent, and pulled my | | | | pockets out to show him I had not, | and I said: ‘You must trust me. ed: ‘Well, I will trust you, but I won't trust him.’ “This bad such au effect upon me,” continued Mr. Gould, “that it seem- world had come toan end that day. I did not know where I was to get dinner and I did not try until long after 3 o'clock af- ter this rebuff. I was naturally a timid boy and it had a great étiect on me I then debated about throw- ing up the whole engagement, but Iwent out and had a good ery where nobody could see me. Then I got down and prayed and I felt’ better afterward. So I made up my mind to go ahead—made up my mind to I was hungry and I decided to go into the first He Answer- ; house I came to and get something |to eat, and I did so.

This gave me an idea aud from this time I went on and paid my expenses making noon marks for the farmers. When I had firished my survey the man who employed me failed and could not pay me, but there were two oth- er journeymen he had employed to make the suryeys and I proposed to them to go on and finish the map. They decided to do so, but they wanted their names to do it alone. I said: ‘Very well. I will sell out to you, and I sold out my interest in the map for $500. This was the first m ey I ever earned.
