Edward j. Barrett a representa-
tive of the Port Jervis Gazette while
travelling from Coleville to Decker
town early last Friday morning was
held up by four men at lonely
spot called "Coopers Glen" who
presented a revolver and demanded
that he ''hold up his hands" Mr..
Barrett acquiesced and they relieved
him of all his money, a considerable
amount, receipts and other papers.
Two shots were fired by the men
probably to more thoroughly
frighten him. They have not been
caught.

OBITUARY.
Hanna, the beloved wife of John Lewis
Creter, died suddenly at her home on
Main street, Matamoras, Friday morning,
at $50 o'clock, of heart failure, aged 81
years. Mrs. Creter had been sick with
typhoid fever, from which she recovered.
Her husband is a machinist in the Erie
car shop in Port Jervis, and works nights
there. When he left home Thursday even
ing for his accustomed duties his wife was
feeling well, but about O'Clock in the

the region Of the heart, and at $50 the
same morning she died
Mrs. Creter's maiden name was Profit,
and she was born in Elizabeth, N j. She
was daughter of Frederick Profit of that
city, and was united in marriage to Mr..
Creter while residing there. They came to
this place about eight years ago, Mr..
Creter having obtained employment in
the Erie shops.
Mrs. Creter was very domestic woman,
and the excellent training which her chill
dren have received speaks in language
stronger than words of the mothers de-
votion to her family. She was a kind
friend and neighbor, and was greatly es-
teemed in the community in which she
lived.
There were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Creter
13 rhildren, of whom eight suyvive-four
boys and four girls. The youngest of whom
is three years old. They are Lewis, Harry
Freddie, George and daughters Christine,
Doretta, Lizzie and Mary, all of whom re-
side at home Besides these and the hus-
band, Mrs. Creter is survived by her father
and mother, three sisters and two brothers,
all of Elizabeth, N. ]. The brothers are
Frederick and William, and sisters, Louisa,
wife of William Creter, and Mary and
Dora, the two latter residing with their
parents.
The funeral service took place at the
Hope Evangelical Church on Sunday af-
ternoon at 1.SO o'clock and was conducted
by the Rev. J, A. Wiegand who preached
a very impressive sermon to crowded
church. Interment was mrde at Laurel
Grove Cemetery.

Coinage in October.

During the month of October just
past the Government coined 50. $780,
900 silver dollars, an amount great
er than it was accustomed to do un-
der the Bland bill. In the same
month the mint turned out $5.727.-
sol in gold, and $66.5O in subsidiary
silver coins. This would be a total
of s.. 63e. 400 added to the money of
the country during last month. 1t
is all good too, no cheap money
about it. Is there any apparent
need in view of this for more
money, is it not more essentially a
matter of import to get the manu-
factories in motion and the wheels
of industry generally, and get what
money the government makes in
active circulation? A dog with his
blood active is better than a dozen
dead lions.
