AREAKGEMENTS FOE TEE OBSEQUIES
Ket Tore, Dec. a The flags on all the
hotels in the neighborhood of Jlr. Gould's
house, from Fifty-ninth and to Thirtieth
streets, are at half mast. All the engines
on the Manhattan Elevated Kailroad were
draped in black, while the massive front of
the "Western Union building was similarly
attired.
A meeting of the directors of the Western
Union Telegraph Company was held at
noon in President Green's room in the
Vestern Union buildmp The directors
present were Dr. Xorvin Green, President;
General Thomas T. Eckert, Vice President
and General Manager; John Van Home,
Second Vice President; Russell Sage, Sam
uel F. Sloane, John G. Moore and John T.
Terrv. A document entitled "In memo-
rinm," and ending with resolutions was
adopted. It begins as follows:
Familiarity with him, acquired through
rears of constant intercourse, enables tbe
members to speak concerning him with
knowledge and confidence. What follows
are words, not of eulogy, hut of just and
considerate estimate. Among the many
eminent men, who In the history of this
country have had a place- in its counsels,
Mr. Gould w a. in some respect's, the most
remarkable. The intellectual qualities to
which he owed his almost unequaled suc
cess are not far to seek.
His Remarkable Business Foresight.
Underlying all was his faith In the con
tinned growth, advancement and prosperity
of our country. He forecast tbe future with
confidence, and saw in the earller'stazes
coming values of great properties, the
Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific, Missouri Pa
cific. Manhattan Railway and tbe Western
Union. He boldly riskod on all the sound
ness of his Judgment. His Judgment con
cerning the values of the corporate proper-tic-
sincly. and of their possibilities for
piofl'able combination, amounted to posi
tive genius a genius in thee lines proba
bly never surpassed or equaled. Acquiring
tbesa propel ties, he gave his energies to
their development. This wa3 not the hasty
work of a day, but the slow work ofyeirs.
He was not merely qr chiefly a speculator.
He was a practical and expert manager of
railway . He w as at home in every depart
ment of the "service. He knew his proper
ties intimately. He could mtantlv detect
anything wrong. He inspected them in per
son regularly. He gave to his properties
the benefit, not only or his genius, bnt of his
diligence and lndutrv, which until his
health gave w ay never tired.
He did not always receive the prafce to
which he was entitled. He did not invest
his wealth in lands or buildings or govern
ments or established securities and content
himbelf with Idly receiving their income.
His industries gave daily employment to
more than 100,000 men and support to their
families. His enterprise contributed more
larcelyto the opening development of the
Western and Southwestern parts of the
country than that or any ther man.
An Opposite View of Him. "i. ""
So much in the way of prSSfe from-Jaw
ijouiq s inuneuiaie associates, xne iouow
ing extract lrbm an editorial in the St James
Gazette, headed "The GambletMillioriairej"
ives an opposite view:
The most typical marauder of the age is
dead. In his reckless contempt for honor,
mercy, or moralitv, ho transcends the giant
speculators of tbe world. He leaves $100,
000,000 accumulated by gambling, swindling
and fraud. We don't like to speak ill of the
dead, but there is no other way to describe
Gould and the methods by which he ac
quired his enormous tortune.
The arrangements for the funeral of the
late Jay Gould ere announced this after
noon. Services will be held at the house
on Monday at 4 p. M. Eev. Dr. John E.
Paxton, of the West Presbyterian Church;
Kev. Dr. McCracken, Chancellor of the
University of the Citv of 2sew York, and
Kev. Dr. Roderick Terry, of the South Re
formed Church, will conduct the burial
service of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
After the funeral services the members of
the family will take their last 1 ok at the
features of the dead. Tuesday morning the
body will be taken to Woodlawn Cemetery
and'placed in the family vault beside that
of his wife, whose death he never ceased- to
mourn.
Gould's Exploits in Authorship.
Jav Gould wrote a book in 1856 and years
afterward endeavored to suppress it bv
buying ep every copy he could reach and
that money could buy. He would pay any
price demanded for the book, and perhaps
to-day not a dozen copies of it are in exist
ence. But one copy found its way into the
State Library here, and it is regarded as a
jreat curiosity. The book is a history of
Delaware county and the border wars of
New York and contains a history also of
late anti-rent difficulties in Delaware.
The reason why Mr. Gould was so anxious
to suppress his book was that in dwelling
upon the anti-rent difficulties he gave ex-
Ercssion to opinions sadly at variance with
is practices after he became a railway
king. The book is cleverly written. Gould
was but 20 years old when he wrote it, but
it shows him to have been at that early age
a ready and forcible writer.
There is another book in the State Li
brary of which Jay Gould is the reputed
author. It is "A Biography of Zaddock
Pratt, of Prattsviile, JS. Y. Tanner,
Farmer, Banker and Legislator." The
author's name does not appear. The book
is alleged to have been written in 1836.
This was the year Jay Gould was boin, and
Gould always maintained he never wrote
this book; but, on the other hand, it is al
leged he did, and that the date of its pub
lication was "set back" to 1836.
JAY GOULD'S BB0THEB.
He is Tounger Than the Wizard, and Has a
Job on the Missouri raclfic
Abram Gould, a brother of Jay Gould,
was a passenger on the eastern express last
evening, going to New York to attend the
funeral. He is purchasing agent of
the Missouri Pacific road. His ap
pearance shows that he has not been
very successful in life and Jay
hasn't done much for him. He
looks like a pugilist. His lower jaw is
heavy, he wears his moustache closely
cropped, and he no more resembles the
wizard of "Wall street than a telegraph pole.
The .Missouri brother is probably 15 years
vounger than Jay.
Abe said he knew nothing about his
brother's estate. Had no idea how much
money it represented, or what disposition
of the property would be made. He pro
fessed also apparent indifference. He
thought the funeral would occur at 10
o"cvock to-morrow morning,

The companies give notice that if the

can. The discontinuance of the service is
said to be due to the demand of telegraph
ers for increase of pay.

ocratic Congressman
IS HAKDI ENOUGH TO INTERFERE.
Governor Campbell Won't Attempt to Dic
tate aa to Patronage.
HE'S NOT A CANDIDATE FOE ANYTHING
SPECIAL TELIGaAM TO TBI DISPATCH. "
Columbus, O., Dec. 3. .A. great deal of
speculation is beine indulged in just now
as to who will control the Federal patronage
in Ohio Brice or CamphelL It developed
in a talk with Governor Campbell this
evening that there would be no conflict.
He says in districts represented by Demo
cratic Congressmen they will have control,
except the President in special cases has
reasons to act contrary to their wishes, but
in districts represented by Republican
Congressmen the Democratic Senator from
the State has charge, if there Is one, and in
this instance Senator Brice would be the
controlling spirit.
Under the rules of Senatorial courtesy,
Mr. Campbell states Mr. Brice will have
the final recommendations in Republican
districts, and this will include Hamilton
county, where they have no Democratic
Congressmen. As he now- holds no office,
the 'Governor states it would not be proper
for him to interlere with the prerogative
which belongs to others. If Senator Brice
wants any advice from him he thinks he
will ask lor it.
The letters of request and application
have piled in upon Mr. Campbell so fast
that he has been required to keep a sten
ograDher to furnish replies. To-hvy he
sent out a stereotyped letter to applicants
in which he set forth his views and im
pressed his friends with the fact that the
distribution fft patronage is a fixed matter,
and that the Congressmen and Senators
would have charge. He positively refuses,
even as a citizen, to make any recommen
dations for postmasters in different parts of
the State.
As to whether he would accept a position
in the Cabinet, the ex-Gover said: "At the
risk of being charged with indelicacy I
must repeat that I do not desire a Cabinet
position or any other office tinder the ad
ministration; that I positively conld not
accept if a tender were made. My business
affairs will require my attention for the
next few years, and it shall be given
them."
In reply to a question as" to whether he
would accept a nomination for Governor
against McKinley, Campbell said he would
not make the-race under any circumstances,
and would not accept a nomination if it
were tendered him.
REVOLUTION THREATENED.
Kansas Populists May Organize a Legisla
ture of Their Own.
Topeka, Kak., Dec. a The People's
party and Democrats are highly indignant
oyer the action of the State Board ot Can
vassers in declaring two Republicans enti
tled to seats in the loner house of the
Legislature. Leaders of the People's party
say they will organize a House composed of
their men and' ignore the Republicans and
that Governor Lewelling will recognize
that body and the Populist Senate and let
the Republicans crack their whips. In
this way they will elect a United States
Senator who, they say, will be seated.
Speaking of the action of the canvassing
board Chairman JSreidenthal said:1" "If they
intended. giving, us fair play why did they
drive us out of tbe room when the drawing
took place? 'Their man was represented
on the"board; ours waraot. Ives withdrew
because he did not believe in drawing lots
and wonld not" be a "party to it Ot .course
we don't know wbat'waa done in there, but
our turn will come in time. .We will con

MURPHY AROUSED.
Declares He Won't Be Slandered Will
BoIdaBeceptlon to Outcast Women at
Lafayette Hall Tuesday Afternoon
Last Night's Lively Meeting. .,
A crowded house greeted Francis Murphy
at Lafayette Hall last night A largo
number of persons signed the pledge.
The most interesting portion of the meet
ing was when Mr. Murphy replied to the
alleged remarks of Rev. B. R. Donehoo at
the conference between Mayor Gonriey and
the ministers on Friday, when Mr. Donehoo
is said' to have remarked that Francis
Murphy was a fraud.
x In the course ot his address last night,
Mr. Mnrpby said: "I don't see how -Mr.
Donehoo can find It in his heart as a Chris
tian to say-that I am" a fraud. He may
have a chance to prove his staments now.
It jnay be of no importance to nim, but it
is to me that my good name is at stake. I
have been slandered quite enough here In
my own home."
Mr. J. McCreery here said he begged
leave to say that he did not- think Mr.
Donehoo had made the remarks credited to
him though he had not -seen the newspapers.
'At this J. "M. Kelly and a number of
others in varions parts of the hall jumped
to their feet .wd vigoursly defended Mr.
Murphy at the same time severely criticising
Mr. "Donehoo. In the course ot
their remarks sowe of the speakers
said that Mr. Donehoo's .methods of keep
ing himself before the public were exceed
ingly well known. The scorching was se
vere", and was Interrupted by Mr. Murphy
savirg: "I don't care what Mr. Donehoo
says about Francis Murphy. I
am not here to brag. I have
known Francis Murphy a good many
years and I know he is a decent man. '
Continuing, he said that on Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock in Lafayette Hall he
wants to meet the women who have been
tast ont of society and are now about to be
cast out of shelter. He wants to meet them
as a father; they were his children, he said,
and he wants to counsel with them. No
other women are invited.
The temperance addresses at the meeting
were numerous and' good. J. Johnston, a
Homestead striker, said he bad been told
by a saloonkeeper io join the Murphy
movement He signed Friday night He
was only a beginner at water, but he would
soon get used to it
J. M. Kelly read a report from the Sol
diers' Home at Leavenworth, Kan., which
stated that 277 inmates had taken the
Keelev treatment, and the institution was
saved '$20,821
Addresses were also made by Mrs. Ellen
Watson, Secretary of the W. C. T. U.; S.

He' Intercedes for Pittsburg Outcasts
in Humanity's Name in
BEHAfcFOF PHILADELPHIA LADIES
Two Letters Indited, One to Major Gouriej,
' .Another to McCrory.
HOW THE SATI0R TREATED THE ERRING
Philadelphia, Dec'a Two open let
lers have been sent from this city by M. B.
Palmer to Pittsburg, relative to the threat
ened wholesale raiding in that city of dis
orderly houses and turning the unfortun
ate inmates into the stree'tT The first is ad
dressed to Mayor Gourley, of Pittsburg,
and reads:
I write for the Woman's Progressive-Union
of Philadelphia, to ask you if the thought of
tho mother who gave you birth, the wire
w,ho bears your honored name, and. per
chance, a fair young daughter or sister,
who, but .for - your protecting care
might be in the sane position, did
not give you the courage to refuse to
violate your manhood, all tbe Instincts of
humanity, and turn helpless women Into
tbe street, penrifless and with no place to
rest their weary heads. 'As members of the
Woman's Progressive Union of Pnlladel
phln, we protest against your act as ungen
erous, unjust and unworthy of the high
ofllce you hold. '
The'second letter is addressed to Bey. J.
P. McCrory. It rnns as follows:
As the representative of the Woman's
Progressive Union of Philadelphia, 1 would
like to ask one question of the reverend
gentleman who is waging war against weak,
defenseless women in his olty. Did not the
lowly Nazarene, the "Man of sorrow and ac
quainted with grief," according to the teach
ings of the churches, come to seek and to
save that which was lost? Did he not seek out
this very class of women, not to upbraid,
not to taunt them with their weacness and
vaunt His own piety and strength, out by
His gentleness, His love, His knowledge ot
the frallities ot human kind, nnd His God
like -compassion for them, seek to give
them hope of better tblngs, to Hit
them out of the depths up to the
heights of spirituality? ".Neither do I con
demn them" were the words of this loving
teacher, "is the servant better than his
Lord?"
And I would, also, like to know where the
fallen men are those who are co-guilty with
these slater women. Have they been turned
from their homes, left to the tender (?) mer
cies of a Pharisaical world, unprotected,
ostracised outcasts? Is thb gentleman sure
that some of them may not be found in the
sanctuaiy under tho drapings of the gospel?
We, the women ot the Progressive Union,
protest with our woman's hearts against
this unmanly, inhuman, un-Christllke perse
cution of unfortunates who ate more sinned
against than sinning.
Applause From Abroad.
Mayor Gourley istdaily. in receipt of a
small mailbag full of letters. Writers from
every city of note in the country are begin
ning to send him words of encouragement
for bis position in relation to the observ
ance of the law bearing on disorderly
houses. Men aud women nre.all taking the
opportunity to express their views, and all
of them commend his action and say he is
right
Yesterday the Mayor's mail contained
letters from half a dozen large cities, and
one writer, C. K. Van Loon. of-,West Seven
teenth street, New York, suggested that
some of the women turned out here might
find shelter in that city. The writer said
he thought tbey could provide homes for
at least six of them in refuges established
in that city since the crusade against them
there. The writer had used a fine quality
of stationary with a monogram add addre'ss
stamped in raised blue letters.

MRS. SAMUEL J. BANDALL SUED.
The Late Statesman's Financial Troubles
Pursuing His "Widow.
Philadelphia, Dec. a Suit was be
gun to-day by the Commonwealth, at the
suggestion of Annie H. Stroup, adminis
tratrix of John Stroup, against Fannie W.
Bandall, administratrix of Samuel J. Ban
doll, deceased, Dallas Sanders and William
MaMullen under an interesting claim. On
the records of the District Court there ap
peared two judgments against the late Con
gressman Bandall, one tor $5,735 16 as sur
viving William S. Bandall, trading as Ban
dall and Meredith; and a second for ?3,
019 34 as surviving W. S. Bandall, who
was sued with Sullivan and Meredith, trad
ing as Bandall & Meredith. Tbe judg
ments were obtained by Heron Martin, to
the use of John Stroup, surviving partner
of the firm of Stroup & Bros.
During all these years the Judgments
have been revived from time to time, and
upon the death of John Stroup his adminis
tratrix, the present plaintiffj appeared as
claimant on their records. After Congress
man Bandall's death, in 1890, letters of ad
ministration were taken out by Fannie W.
Bandall, his widow, who lives in Washing
ton, and Mrs. Bandall, together with Dallas
Sanders and William McMuIlen, entered on
her bond ior 10,000. -Now Mrs. Stroup
claims tbe full amount ot the judgment, not
only from Mrs. Bandall, but from Messrs.
Sanders and McMuIlen, alleging that Mrs.
Bandall has broken the conditions of the
administratrix's bond by not filing the in
ventory ot her husband's estate or account
ing for the same as required by law.
