GOULD’S MILLIONS.
Another Claimant Who Want* a Child’*
Portion of the Katato.
CHitYENNK.Wy., Sept. 84.—The state¬
ment that the eldest daughter of the
late Jay Gould, millionaire and railroad
magnate, is the wife of an humble em¬
ploye of the Union Pacific Coal com¬
pany, residing at Rock Springs, the world, Wy.,
will be surprising news to
but such is the claim of Mrs. B. F.
Pierce, and there does not appear to be
much question establish that the lady claim. has Mrs. the
proofs to her
Pierce says that her mother, Jay
Gonld’s first wife, from whom it is
claimed he was never divoroed, is still
living st Rouse’s Point, Clinton county, Jav
New New York. According to her story,
Gould met his first wife, a Mias Sarah
Ann Brown, at the little town where
the woman now resides, and on May 18,
1858, the oooplo were married in Ni New
York oity by Rev. J. Hanna, a Metho¬
dist minister. Mr. Gould was then
comparatively^ The couple did poor man. live happily to¬
not
gether, and before a year of married
life Mrs. Gonld left her husband and
returned to Rouse’s Point, reassuming
her maiden name. She has lived there
in obscurity all these years, but she
claims that neither she nor Mr. Gould
ever secured a divoroe.
On Feb. 15, 1854, a daughter was bom
to Mrs. Gould, or Mrs. Brown, as she
was ever afterward known. When the
ohild was 8 1-3 years of age her mother
gavo her in adoption to Janies and Mary
Morton, of 8t. Thomas, Canada. Iu
1888 the Mortons moved to Hamilton,
Caldwell county, Mo , and it was here
that Miss Morton met Benjamin Frank¬
lin Pierce, to whom she was married on
Oct. 5, 1885.
Mrs. Brown never obtruded herself
upon her hnsband after leaving the him,
but in 1880, after the death of sec¬
ond wife, she called upon him in New
York and informed aim of the exis¬
tence of their daughter, his eldest child.
Mr. Gonld acknowledged the claim, and
promised to make a settlement of a cer¬
tain amount on the child. This he fail¬
ed to do. The daughter never knew of
her relations to the Gould family nnt 1
after her marriage and removal to Wy¬
oming. Early who had
in 1801, Mrs. Brown,
lost all trace of the Mortons aud her
daughter, began to trace her np and lo¬
cated her at Rock Springs, where Mr.
and Mrs. Pierce had settled.
In July or August, Rook 1891, Jay Gonld’s
private car was in Springs, and
Mr. and Mrs. Pierce solicited an inter¬
view with Mr. himself Gould. be A gentleman that indi¬
representing vidual them the to stated
met and case was
to him. The gentleman said to them
that if their statements were true the
best thing they could do was to make
them public.
Mr. and Mrs. Pierce now have reason
to believe that it was not Mrs. Pierce’s
father with whom they talked, but Dr.
Mnnn, Mr. Gonld’s physician. Mrs.
Pierce’s mother was informed formed of the in¬
terview, but she advised her daughter
to wait awhil ;le to see if Mr. Gonld was
disposed to do anything. She desired,
if possible, to prevent any publicity of
the affair. After the death of Mr.
Gonld, in December, 1893, Mrs. Brown
came to Rock Springs to ascertain if
George Gonld, as administrator of his
father's estate, had token any action in
the matter, he having been previously
informed of the existence of the child
by a former marriage. George Gonld
and his attorneys have entirely ignored
all communications sent to them on the
subjeot.

DOES NOT SATE HIM FROM A
CAMPAIGN LIE
Which He Very Effectually Nalls
The Utter Falsity of the Chargee
About Mr*. Rowe.
One of the matters made ranch of
by tbe Populist papers sad speakers
is tbe card published over tbe eigna>
tare of Mrs. Julia Rowe, of Meri¬
wether comity. Mrs. Rowe alleged
that Mr. Atkinsoo owned a third in¬
terest in a tract of laud of which she
owned a two-thirds interest, and
that Mr. Atkinson foreclosed and
sold without giving her any notice.
In refutation of all that has been
said about the matter, Mr. Atkinson
makes tbe following full statemeot:
“It is one more instance where a
man’s generosity is turned against
him in an effort to injnre him by the
ungrateful recipient of bis kindness,
Mrs. Rowe is not (as tbe Third party
people in some sections of the State
are circulating) a colored woman,
but is a white woman, about whom
I will say nothing unkind, feeling
that in what she does she is largely
tbe tool of another.
“It is trne« as she states, that in a
tract of 130 (pot 120) acres she and
her children owned a i wo-third inter¬
est aod that I owned a one-third
interest. After tbe death of her hus¬
band I weot to see Mrs. Rowe’s fa¬
ther, who was managing her busi¬
ness affairs for her and who is a man
of considerable property, and offered
to divide tbe laud, taking my one*
third and she to take her two-thirds.
This be refused to do, unless I would
take my one-third io the rear of tbe
farm, which portion of tbe land did
not touch either a public or a pri¬
vate road at noy point. I lecliotd
to do this, but offered to take my
share by ruooiug a line entirely
through it, thus giving me a narrow public
atrip that would front on the
road. As he would not consent to
this proposition of mine, I then pro¬
posed to divide tbe land io half and
to pay for the difference between my
ooe-ibird and the half I would get
nearly twice as much as I would sell
my one-tbird interest to her for.
rrv This, l :. also, _ l„.. he k A refused r to n do do. Beiug IL>ir>
unable to secure a division of the
property by aoy of those liberal
offers, I prepaied an application to
the court to appoint commissioners

was served on Mrs, Howe and ber
children a good loog time before
court met that this application
would be made. When I reached
court she had oo one there to repre¬
sent her and I was unwilling to pro •
ceed until she hud. I accordingly
had the court to appoint a guardian
ad litum for each of the children and
sent word to her father, Mr. Reed,
who lived eleven miles ra the coun¬
try, to come to town the next day
and look after the matter. Tbe next
day be came aod objected divide to the the
taking of a a order to
land, saying to we that he did not
want it divided but wanted it sold;
that tbe place was too far from him
and he wanted to move his daughter
nearer to tiis place. In accordance
with bis wishes, I then changed the
application so as to provide for the
sale of the entire piece of land and
for a division of tbe proceeds of such
sale. This was done, it will be un¬
derstood, at his suggestion and af¬
ter due Dotice hud been given toMts.
Kowe and each of her children.
"The order was then taken, was
signed by the court and commission¬
ers appointed—as good men as there
are in Meriwether county, neighbors
of Mrs. Rowe, living from eixteeu to
eighteen miles from where I live. Af
ter this I had nothing to do with tbe
land transaction, the commissioners
advertising it regularly BDd then
selling it. I was not present when it
was sold, but bad authorized my
brother to make it bring a reason¬
able price. Mrs. Rowe was present, as
was her father, who was amply able
to have bought it himself if it had
sold too cheap. It was as fairly con¬
ducted a judicial sale as was ever
conduct“U in the State of Georgia.
"Up to recent dato, tbe only thiog
1 have heard in tbe way of a com¬
plaint from Mrs. Rowe was that the
commissioners din not pay over to
her at once her share of the proceeds
of tbe sale. When I heard this l
wrote her, urging h*r to have guar¬
dians appointed for her children,and
the commissioners would then Day
over the money. This she declined
to do. The commissioners objected
to [laying over tbe money because
there was a question entitled as to whether it
or not she was to or
whether it belonged to her and the
together. They refused to
take anv risk in tbe matter, but
waited until the court convened, in
order that they might pay it out
under the order of Judge Harris
When court coovenedthi t> was done
and the nuonpy was paid over to Mrs
Rows. I had nothing whatever to
do with the money after the sale ot
the l«Dd— it was a matter entirely
with the commissioners.
“Mr. Reid, Mis. Rowe’s father, is
not mad with me about this trans¬
action; he is road with me because on
one occasion, in a business matter, 1
told him very iranklv whatlthought
of him. This he did not hare tbe
manhood to resent, but seeks to re¬
sent it now in this cowardly manner
“Mr. Rowe died in 1890. So far
was I from treating Mrs. Rowe
harshly that I gave her tbe rent of
my share of tbe land (or the first
year after Mr. Rowe’s death. While
other creditors were pressing her I
never opened toy mouth to ber about
the rent, but. let her bare it. Tbe

Augusta, Ga., Sept. 24. —The Liquor
Dealers’ association, of Augusta, is ne¬

The dealers say that they have been of

many of the insurance companies aud
secret orders refusing to issue polieies
