In March, 1893, was appointed appraiser by the surogate to fix the value of the estate of the late Jay Gould at the time of his death, with a view to de termining the amount of tax that should be Imposed upon the personal property, has made his report, by which he finds the value of the personal estate of the late millionaire to be 550.93f.550.79, less the amount of his debts, $6,553,529.71, and less legacies, annuities, etc., to his brother, sister, grandson, of $1,136,313; making the amount of tne residuary estate to be $73,224,547.08. Mr. M.-Clure says in his report that it was found at the outset of the hearings that they would be protracted, and it w as then determined by the executors of the estate to deposit with the controller an amount, which, in their judgment, would meet the taxes to be paid upon the property. The executors, therefore, paid $600,000 to the controller, upon the as sumption that the personal estate would not exceed $60,000,000. Each of the six children of Mr. Gould is entitled to a life estate, in trust, in one-sixth of the resi duary estate, with the remainder to their children. Under a recent decision of the court of appeals, it is held that these re mainders are not liable to taxation, whereas, formerly they were. This wlli reduce the tax considerably.

The report will be submitted to the sur rogate for consideration. NEWS: TUESDAY, J DEBS CHANCES BAD. The Motion to Quash the Indictments Not Apt to Be Granted.

Several motions for separate trials were made and all denied. The court advises the government to weed out all small offenders and those again t whom there would be no chance of secur ing conviction.
