ny. He awoke one morning and
found that he had come into pos
session Of a farm, near this city,
upon which numerous prolific oil
wells had been struck. He had re-
tired a poor teamster-he awoke a
millionaire. He soon became the
greatest spendthrift ever known in
this country. He travelled, bought
the hotels where he stopped, gave
them to their previous owners in
the morning-in short, disbursed
his immense fortune with a lavish
hand until it was all gone. He
then retired, and is now a c~ontented
farmer in one of our Western States.
Hist is only one Of many very similar
stories told.
AS the opposite of Coal Oil
Johnny, the case of Dan Goethe,
an oil speculator of this city, is
cited. Only a few years ago he was
a bootblack in this city. He then
delivered telegraph messages, and
finally engaged in the oil business.
He is now only about twenty-six
years old, but in that short time has
acquired a fortune of several hun
dred thousand dollars. In the
meantime he has supported a
widowed mother and several broth.
ers and sisters. He made his
money by buying and selling oil, and
is now one Of the most influential
men in the business. Only week
before last he took the bull side Of
the market, with a powerful COM
pany on the bear side, and worsted
them. One sale of his was of 60,-
600 barrels at 5000. The trade
was made, certificates representing
it exchanged for a check within
ten minutes. The amount involved
in the transaction was S163, 900.
This was only one of his sales,
During the day he sold nearly 20O,-
600 barrels. lie is a short, thick
set man, unassuming and very
liberal. His gifts to the poor arc
large. He is temperate, and pos
sesses in an eminent degree that
