COLUMBUS, October 21.-Pete Mozart
new. the most famous counterfeiler this coun-
try has ever known, died at the penitentiary
hospital this morning of consumption, in the
sixtieth year of his age. He has been
criminal from boyhood, and his name has
been a byword in the Secret Service Depart
ment of the United States Government Tor
years 1t was his rule not to establish any
other than temporary headquarters, and ne
is therefore known in almost every state east
of the Rocky Mountains. His last ohense was
committed in 1855, at New Orleans, where ne
was caught passing counterfeit tractlonal cur
rency such as was in circulation during the
war, and sentenced to the Ohio Penitentlary for
ten years.
Pete once said: II have not been such a bad
man. My worst offense has been to make lot
of counterfeit money" When asked what ne
had done that was especially good, he sald: Il
saved two trains from being wrecked by
scoundrels One was the Illinois Central Kali
road near Olney, Ills. was walking out nome
early one morning when saw three men run
from the track. When i reached the place
found they had spread the rails, and walked
back, gave the alarm, and thereby saved several
lives. The railroad company gave me a pass
on the road as long as lived there"
Mccartney was an educated man, and made
q study of the principles OF engraving anu tne
application of his knowledge toward criminal
ends He was fine dentist, skilled ehenlst
and expert, manufacturer OF engravers ana
dentists tools and possessed OF knowledge
of making the paper used by the Government
for bonds or money purposes that mace MIN
the most dangerous man that ever handleo an
enrraver's tools. His early work was on
iswiIdcat'' money before the war, and he
flooded the country with his paper. When the
STATE banks were supplanted Mccartney turned
his attention to the manufacture of State
bonds but his most successful work was on
Government bonds. He made s.. GOO United
States bond SO perfect that il was redeemed at
the Treasury and the holder of the genuine
was later arrested and charged with counter
feIting.
Mccartney was never bad fellow to his ac-
uualntances and he always boasted that he
never gave a pal" away. He has married
daughter residing in Columbus. who has de-
voted her life to securing a pardon for her
father.

NO FAMINE IN IRELAND.
A Dublin Man Says Only the Potato Crop
Has Partly Failed.

William Mackenzie a Dublin iron man, is at
the Duquesne. He is friend OF Henry Hart
man, OF Beaver Falls, and spent yesterday with
him. Mr.. Mackenzie owns lands in the North
west in this country, but he is not land owner
in ireland. He says he left Ireland about three
weeks ago. Speaking of the crops. he said:
There is no prospect of famine in my coun-
try. The potato crop in places has failed. 1
suppose it will be half CROP taking the aver
age but the grain and green products
haven't been better for years. Indeed, the
crops in Ireland this season are ahead
of the English and Scotch. Ireland is also
great country for cattle that are raised for the
English markets, and the small farmers have
been getting good prices for them. In those
places where the land is poor, badly cultivated,
and the potato seed is not changed, there may
be failure and some consequent pinching. but
nobody will want for food. l think the Irish
ought to be satisfied.
"Your tariff bill, by the way, will not hurt us.
We will still buy your grain, corn and raw
materials, but we can't pay cash for them. III
you refuse to take our products in exchange, it
will soon draw all the gold from Europe, and
| the banks of England, Germany and France
| will put up the rates of interest. We Will be
! forced to put our stocks on your market, and
the result will be that the stock market VIII be

changes were not important The agents
report that the business is very heavy and for
once the railroads are getting good rates. The
roads are making money, and this is taken as
a sure sign that the country is prospering.
An agent remarked that there are times
when'the roads by reason of depression in trade

lower rates, but the people suffer in the end,
When railroad managers are satisfied with
