SOME OF THE VAGARIES OF COAL
OIL JOHNNY.
Detroit News

Coal Oil Johnnie" who made himself as
well-known in Detroit as in any other town
he entered, was the son of poor farmer in
Pithole, Pa, and his real name was Steele.
The miserable farm, which had never yield
ed the family u subsistence, proved to be
one Of the richest oil locations in Pennsyl-
vania, and when Johnnie arrived at man
hood he found himself IN orphan in possess
sion of fortune of some $2,500,000 which
he commenced to fling away with mad reck-
lessness Rose was on hand and helped
him to get through with goodly share of
it in the madest excitement of gambling,
riot and fast life. Coal Oil Johnnie used
to think he never could get to the end of
his pile. He would sit down and calculate
the thousands he owned and swear that he
could never get rid of it. He did, though,
in little more than two years, and now he
is station-agent on the Atlantic and Great

Two years later Johnnie called for the
money. He had spent all but that sum and
it only served to keep him in dissipation for
few weeks.
Rose had at that time something over
100000 that he had acquired himself, and
felt entitled to travel on a footing of equal
ty with this remarkable fool. Once John
ME got on a spree in Detroit. He went to
n bagnio on Macomb street, and to make
the orgie sensational, completely destroyed
a $3.50 piano, by stamping it in with his
feet. The next day he sent the madam
an $500 Stenway. In Philadelphia he saw
a pair of horses being hamessed in a livery
stable and wanted to drive them. The
stable-keeper refused as the horses belonged
to another party who boarded them, but
who would sell them for $1,000. johnnie
paid the money, drove the horses furiously
for two hours, and then sold them to the
colorcd coachman for dollar bill Light

Odd Fellows are over $4,000, and that has
been nearly exhausted in aiding sick and
those in distress. The general relief COM
mittee has been active since the scourge first
appeared and are still at work with local
and transient brethren.
Collector Smith received from the Com
missary General a telegram notifying him
that the remainder of the 10000 rations Or
dered for yellow fever sufferers, had, ON
Sunday; been ordered from Chicago. The
order includes 10000 ratons of sides, 20O,-
900 Of ribs, 10000 of shoulders 10000 of
flour, 10000 of corn meal and $1,000 of su-

The action Of the Peabody Subsistence
association in honoring only such requisi-
tons as cmanated from the Towards,
Young Mems Christian association and
Ladies Physiological society, fell like
thunderbolt on the Colored Mutual Benevo-
Tents, who, on the day of their opening, had
given acquisitions to over hundred fami-
lies. The news of the change in the condi-
ton of affairs did not come to tho knowl-
edge Of the colored applicants tor relief,
and hence they assembled in great numbers
laden with baskets, bags and demiohns,
pushing and .iostly each other to get a front
place and be served first AT s o'clock the
Office was opened and the fact made known
to the crowd that no more ration requisi-
tions would be issued, except to those con-
yalescent from fever. A howl of dsap-
pointment arose, but the crowd showed no
inclination to dispense. Finally, after ex-
pressing their disapprobation in murmurs,
not loud but deep, the crowd slowly thin
ned out until only a few remained; possibly
with the hope that something might turn
up to alter the present state Of affairs.
