FiJiilers was excited, not that there
iras anvthing extraordinary in that, for
the Flat was in a normal condition of ex
citement over one thing or another every
Lour in the day and vented it in ranch
drinking, lond talking and fighting, but
on this J "articular occasion the excite
ment was of a unique order, that in its
still intensity chilled and silenced the
mob of men that crowded in and close
about the doors of the Mary's Eyes
saloon and gambling hou., the pro
prietor of which. Velvet Jack, was at
that moment being tried for his life be
fore that most terrible of earthly courts.
Judge Lynch.
It wa9 not the first killing it the Flat
This shooting scrape was only one of
dozens of others during the five months
of Fiddlers' existence, but the victim
was a peculiarly inoffensive creature
ki.own as "Mud" to the camp. lie had
iio other name thut they knew of, and
Lad earned bis 6obiijuet by his unfail
ing ill luck at the gaming tables, and
Lis equally unfailing remark as he rot
penniless from his lut with the tiger.
"Weal, my name's mad ag-in; but on
thia particular occasion itluu'a luck had
run his way, and he had sat hour after
boor at the little oMng faro table since
the night before, and won with unfail
ing n-gularity through every deal.
Velvet Liniwlf had the shift at doal
when Mud had won the last ounce in
the "lank roll." and as the lucky pl.-.rer
rose from Lis -ut opposite him, the
pambler had v. i;iji.t a word shot him
through the heart. The c.ld fct-uui-.li-tif-ss
of the act was jo much fur the
nerves even of Fiddlers, and the camp
rose to a man and t ried aloud for ven
geance. They were waiting now for
the sentence. Long Smith was the
- judge, lie occupied a chair placed on a
faro table at one end of the long, nar
row cabin, the identical chair that Vel
vet sat in when he shot Mud. Velvet
sat a little to his left, a guard at either
side on Ins right, the hastily chosen
jury of twelve sat or stood, and beyond
& roe stretched across the room was
the silent, expectant crowd. The evi
dence was all in and Long Smith was
settling himself down into a comfortable
position to listen to counsel for defense,
when Velvet suddenly rose to his feet
and said:
"See here, boys, what's the use of going
on with this monkey business any longer?
I shot Mud and you ve determined that
1 must hang. Can't you drop this and
take me out and hang me and be done
i uu ai, au lUIiUilll UiV Willi ail
this nonsense. Von know you're only
doing it to amuse yourselves. " The eyes
of every man in the crowd were fixed on
the prisoner during this sjeech, then
turned expectantly to the judge,
"Pris'ner et the bar, yer bein tried fer
munler by the only kin o'er co't this yer
kentry hez. Ef there's enythin ye hev
ter say yerll hev er chance ter say it
furder on." There was a murmur of
approval from the andience, and coun
sel for the defense went on with his ar-g-umeut,
followed by the counsel for the
prosecnt-on. The court summed up and
charged the jury, which without a mo
ment's hesitation returned a verdict of
truilty.
The judge arce from his chair and
said, "Velvet, yer gone in; there was
no farther assumption of judicial digni
ty; it dropped from him as one drops a
cloak fiota his shoulders; "ther boys
hev giv' ye a fcqtiar deal, which's luore'n
ye giv' Mud, 'n ye'il her ter go under.
Y"hat hev ye got tor say agin it?"
Velvet smiled and shook his head.
"You've got the drop on me, I reckon,"
he said, "and 1 can't kick."
J ust ot this moment there was a strug
gle as cf some one trying to force an en
trance through the crowd at the door,
end the shrill tones of a woman's voice
i auid be heard demanding access to the
court that was trying the man who had
k illed her's.
"I'm Mud's wife," she insisted in a
thrill, shaky voice.
'Oh, 1 know what yer nicknamed
him. ilia 'n my name's Dobbs, 'n he
were a good mill man mot ways, 'n 1
want ter see the man what killed him
'n lef t.e er lone widder rite in the
prime er life."
The relict cf the late Mnd was at the
Tuir f the court by this time. She was
a tail, crclar woman of forty or so,
dressed in rusty black, with an iin-Mc-ne
calico sucboi:nU that projected
over hor face like a section of stovepipe
fct:d eCec'iCaliy concealed her features.
The eyes were bright and kt en though,
and swipt quick glances from prisoutr
to judge and jury.
The court ordered a chair for her in
side tuo bar, and when she bad seated
. u ; ;.. , , I . f ; . : . i.
berseli remarked to her:
"We never kcowed ef Mud were a
msr'd man, marm. Ef we had we'd
thorly hev waited this trial for ye."
"D ye mean to say yer've gorn 'n tried
this yer man for killia mine, n me not
here ter see? Ter a nice kin o' er judge,
I inns' say. Waal, ye kin jest go ter
tryin im rite over agin, now I aia
yere," and the widow settled comfort
tbly back in her chair and took a dip of
snuff. The court, counsel, jury and
sjiectstors were melted in a moment.
They were Missourians, almost to a man,
and the "one tonch of nature" that snuff
dip awoke in them made them the
widow's slaves for the moment The
court, counsel and jury consulted for a
f?w moments, and the judge intimated
to the widow that they had concluded
Diat her request was a very natural, and
ender the circumstances, a very pro;er
one, and that with the prisoner's con
sent they would comply with it, but as
be had already been tried and found
puilty once, they thought it hardly fair
to him to try him again without his
consent.
Velvet arose, the eyes of the throng
epon Liiu. He was a tall, slight, grace
ful fellow, with a swagger about him
that insensibly attracted men and worn- !
ea alike, and with a smile that showed
his white teeth under the black mus
tache, remarked that he was always de
lighted to please a lady, but that imdex
the circumstances he could not see any
thing to be gained by it lie had in fact
pleaded guilty in the first place, aad all
that remaineef for the judge was to pais
sentence, hut that as they had insisted
on trying lain once to please themselves,
they might as well try him again to
please the lady. There was a murmur
of approval at this sentiment from the
audience, whkh was sternlv checked bv
the court The widow had been dipping !
euuff and eying Velvet during his and i
the court's remarks, and seemed to have '
made up her mind to something she had j
Ue coasiderimj. f or be suddeuly closed
ter snutr&ox witn a click, rose from her
chair and, turning to the court, said:
"Jedge, I'm the person what's bin
most hurt in this yer scrap. Tin lef a
lone woman, with nary man tr provide
fer me. an I've U-en er thinkin ther best
way out o' this yer blznis is fer this man
what kilt my man ter git me er new
one." She stopped amid a deathlike si
lence. Vtlvet was the only man that
preserved his customary nnrnftled com
posure. Every other face wore an ex
pression of horriaed astonishment for a
moment, aad thea a yell of delipht went
cp from the crowd. The cool effrontery
of the woman had caught their sense of
the fitness of things. Here, in a coantry
where a woman most needed a man's
protection, her man bad been taken from
her. What more just than that the man
who Lad caused his tilting off should re
place Lim! The racket subsiding, the
court gravely arose and said:
"Pris'Eer tt the bar, yer her bin tried
n foun gtiilty of murder. Her yer any
thin ter say why ther sentence in thia
yer co'te 6hould not be past 'pon yerf
Velvet shook his head smilingly and the
court continued: 'Ther sentence of ther
co'te is thet yer shall marry this yer
woman, 'n the co'te, ex a jestice, will tie
yer up right now." At this there was a
yell that fairly shook the toil, and the
audience nnshed inside the bar to shake
hands with the propectdve bride and
groom and offer congratulations, but the
bride had something else to say r3t
"Jedge," 6he shrilled, Tve bin tell'd
thet Mud win'd a consid"ble et gainblin
last night 'n I want ther money."
The coin and dust had been impound
ed by the court, and he reluctantly
turned it over to the widow. After
looking it over she stowed it away in a
voluminous pocket, and announced her
readiness for the ceremony. The coun
sel for the prosecution and defense acted
as groomsmen, a couple of ''ladies"
from the "hurdy gnrdy" next door as
bridesmaids, and the foreman of the
jury gave away the bride.
Surely such another wedding was
never eeen. The festivities lasted nntil
the fiddler was completely exhausted,
and when a couple of days later the Flat
recovered front its carouse, Velvet and
his wife had disappeared.
a
A few days later a tall, swaggering,
black mustached man, accompanied by
a woman dressed in rusty black, with an
immense sunbonnet covering her head
and face, stood on the deck of a Panama
steamer making its way down San Fran
cisco bay toward the Gate, They were
at the rail gazing at the fast receding
city. Suddrnly the man snatched the
iuubonnet from the woman's bead and
whirled it overboard, and as it floated
astern said:
GofHlby to the Widow Mud. and now,
old fcirl, we can be comfortable again.
The old liOTinet served its turn, and
s-rved it well, but I can't look down two
miles of stovepipe every time I want to

JAY GOULD DEAD.

city, at 9 15 o'clock Friday moninj. Tue
direct cause of bisatb was o nsumpu n.
H s end was very peaceful. Up to within a
few minute! bef. re h s death be was perfect

his family around his bedside and spoke to
each one of his a..ns and daughters Individ
uaiiy. He became unconscious just before
his death.
HisroaT or his Lire
Tue bistoiy of Jay Gould from the bare
footed boy wbo wandered over the rough
hills of Delaware county to be the railroad
king, whose wealth was estimated at $00,
0m X is one of the most remarkable among
our eelf-made men. His lie for the past
few months has been a cocttint battle
a air.st the inevitable and all rreiti that
medical skill and the interest of friends and
relatives could suggest were employed to
prolong the financier's lite. He was taken
about in lnxarious private cars to places
where a milder air and the absence of b:ui
neis excitement might be expected io work
a recueraticn of bis energies. Frequent
reports during the past few weeks as to his
feeMe condition were received, but were
either depreciated or denied by those who
were near him. Mr. Gould was born in
West Settlement, a backwoods villa e of
Koxbunr, IV'aware county, New Yoik,
May 27, 1S36. He was the son of John B
Gouid, a farmer, who was fairly well to do
snd who bad been a deputy sheriff in Ibe
famous anti-rent war in the early 'Ui. His
mother died when be was an infant Mr.
Gould left home with fifty cents in bis pock
et and studied at Hobart academy in a
neighboring town. Here he turned an ex
tra penny by keeping the books of the Til
la blacksmith.
Mr. Gould subsequently entered into part
nership with Zadoc Pratt in the tannery
busicen iu Gouidsboro, Pa. In lHofi Gould
came to New York city, with quite su ad
tlitiou to bis f jrTune. Liter be entered into
biiN-ntss with Chailes Leupp, kather merch
ant, lathe -:iic of lfo7 Leuj.p's capital
was wrrcked. Gould's father-indaw, Mr.
Miller, iuiliated the youn; financier into
the railroad business and sold him a number
of sbarrs in the Put'aud and Washington
railroa'l at ten cents on the dollar. Gould
showed so rjiirh interest that he was soon
electtd president and general manager of
the read and finally consolidated it with
the Rensselaer and Paratofra rail road. When
the tttork went up Gouii sold out at a hand
some profit.
Id i'J Jay Gould entered Wall street as a
broker; he established a small private office
and made tuont y fast. The following year
he entered the firm of Smith A Martin and
became an exiert in the manipulation of
railroad securities. The period of the civil
war was Jay Gould's oppoituui'y; Erie rail
way block went down to the bed rock and
Gould bought it for a song, with a far seeing
faith in its recovery. He allied himself with
Daniel Drew and prevented Commodore
Vanderbilt from cornering the Erie interest
Gould rapidly became the leading spirit in
the Erie railroad company. In July, 1807,
he was made peMilrr.t of the road. He also
purchased a controlling interest in the Tenth
National bank. An attempt was made by
Mr. Gould in l.'Ufi to corner all the gold in
the country. Fi.'ty millions of dollars r. as the
prize aimed at The price of gold in March
of that year was 23"t, the lowest in three
years. Mr. Gouid bought $7,uu0,000 worth
at loJandput u; the price to 140. A few
djys later gold rose to 144. On September
2i, the famous " Black Friday," Mr. Gould
d'.-termined to unload his holdings as quirk
ly as possible. Without the knowledge of
his associates, he sold a large part of his gold
t) Lis own friend at 100. A little before
noon an order came from Washington to
seil M,(XR),ouO of go'd from the sub-treasury
Tue comer collapsed and numbers of bust
ns men and speculators were ruined.
In 1 Sol, Mr. Gould turned his attention to
the pet enterprise of his former associate,
Cyrus W. Field, of the New York syste m
of elevated roads. Watering stock and
numerous suits agsinst the companies con
trolling the elevated lines cheapened the
ttock and Gould was declared to have a hand
in the process of disintegration , which left
the property in shape to be easily acquiied.
At this point, in ISel, be bought a con
trolling interest in the roads at sixteen cents
on the dollar. The stock soon rose to sixty
five. A a soon bi Mr. Gould obtained con
trol he doubled the capital stock making it
$-V.,oo?,iM. Mr. Gould invested deep y
in the slock of the Atlantic and Pacilic
telegraph company and in 1S7G organis
ed the Am -r.cAU '.lion telegraph com
pany, which in lti-M) was merged into the
Western Union company. In 1S83 he ac
quired control of the latter corporation,
doubled its block, and has since been a
member of its excutive committee, and his
son George Gould, and his buisnesa asso
ciates, are members of its directory. The
total assets s;id to be controlled by the
Gould interests in this corporation amount
to about $lJi;,lnO,M).
In appearance, Jay Gould was a little man
ofs;ito'bt weight build, slightly bent sbold
trs t lid sharp, piercing eyes looking out
from a countenance whose outlines which
were expressive cf the quirt but intense
nervous enerj-y which Could on occasion be
calied into action. He wore a fall beard
and drestd unostentatiously. Mr. Gould
married shortly after coming to this city,
in IsO.;, Miss Eila Miller, daughter of a
ta'.lhy New York citiiea, and had fire
children: tbree.sons, George J., Edward, and
Howard ; (wo daughters. Miss Helen and
Miss H.tunah Gould. His eldest son, George,
who has succeeded to mot of his fath
er's business interests, was married about
six years ago to Miss KlitU Kingdom and
has reveral children. The next son, lii-
waid, married a daughter of Dr. Schrady.
Ti,e other children are unmarried. In politics
Mr. Gould as a icpublican.
No two eatima ef agree as to theamount ef
bis fortune. The most conservative figures
place it at JSL'.tXO.tr.iO, while some people in
A'all street figure it et fally $100,000,000
Of late years his fortune has increased rap
idly. His incoc.e front Western Colon and

bonds, has been about $3 ooJ.OuO.
