Raid on COunterfeiterS.

The Derrick of yesterday states that W.
J. Flynn, of Pittsburg, of the United
States Treasury Department, and William
Blair, a deputy U. S. Marshal, from
Dubois, passed through the city yester-
day on their way from Warren to Pitts
burg. They had in their custody Fred
erck Rogers of Cory, arrested in that
city on Sunday on a charge of counter
feiting. The prisoner is past middle age
and is crippled and bent with rheuma-
tism, and looks anything else than the
dangerous couhterieiter he is supposed to
be. 1t is believed that the next visit by
the officers will be in Forest county, as
consid cradle counterfeit mony has beon
in circulation in that neighborhoOd dur
ing the past few months. Employees of
one OF the saw mills between here and
Tionesta and Hickory, when returning
from visit of pleasure to either places,
invariably found from quarter to a dol
lar of small counterfeit change in their
possession when they got back to work.
An operator of nickel-iu-the-slot ma
chimes placed in that county found in one
month more than $40 worth Of counter
felt money in his boxes. The few arrests
that have been made during the past ten
days, at Cory and in the neighborhood
of Dubois, s probably only the begin
ming of big raid by the Z vernment.

RECENT DEATHS.


Friends here were greatly shocked and
saddened by the announcement of the
death OF this most excellent and popular
lady. Mrs. Dean was a resident of TiOnesta
for about three years, during which time
she endeared herself to the people by her
many excellent womanly graces and
great kindness of heart, and by whom
her death will be mourned with deepest
grief The following concerning her de-
mise is taken from the Derrick of Mon
day:
"Mrs. Clara /. Dean, wife of Isaac Z.
Dean, widely known throughout the oil
country as an orator and by his sOubri-
quet of Farmer Dean" died at the fam
lily residence on West Second street
shortly after midnight Saturday from
recurrence of carncerous affection
for which she had been treated about two
years ago.
1.-The deceased was widely known and
one of the most universally beloved wo-
men in this part ofthe oil regions. She
was the daughter of the late Hiram Nor
ris and was born at Shaws Landing "A
years ago last April. In 1872 she was
married to Isaac Il. Dean, who was then
engaged iE operating for oil at Fosters
Hill, this county. During that year
there were % young men operating or
employed on oil wells i'm that district who
were happily married. Since their mar
riage Mr.. and Mrs. Dean have been resi-
dents ef22 different oil towns and dis
tricts and In all of these the deceased won
friends through her utter disregard Of
self and her fine traits of heart and mind.
One child was born to them, a son, who
died in infancy, but she reared and
adopted two daughters of Parson Plum
mer, who are happily married, and she is
survived by a third adopted daughter
aged 10 years.
"Mr. and Mrs. Dean came to Oil City
from Tionesta in April, 1899, and have
since that time beer residents of this
place. In response 10 the expressed wish
of the deceased no clergyman ofllciated
at the song service which was held at the
family residence last evening ana the
body will be taken this morning to Ash
vile, Chautauqua county, the old Dean
homestead, about nine miles from James
town, N. Y, where the interment will
be at the side of their infant son.
The wide circle of friends possessed by
Mrs. Dean, as well as the countless
neighborly acts which the deceased was
able to perform during her long and use
ful life has caused much sympathy to be
expressed for the bereaved husband in
Oil City, a feeling that will be duplicated
throughout the entire oil country where
no is so well known"

Iettcr TO G.. A. Randall q.
ItOneStd, Pa.

Dear Sir: You own several houses
Your reason for painting Devoe lead AMI
zinc should be several times as strong as
the man who owns but one.
Lead aud oil was good enough paint till
the merits of zinc were found out. 1t was
profitable to paint lead and oilit was
then-but not now.
The addition of zinc to lead makes De-
voc lead and zinc last twice as long and
cost no more costs less-a trifle less; not
much. Lead and oil is mixed by hand ;
Devoe lead aud zinc by machinery.
Might as well make ones shirts by hand
as mix paints. Say it costs 500 house
to paint lead and oil; and it lasts three
years.
Say it costs the same for Devoe; which
lasts six years-it will last ten years in
favorable conditions, unless you want to
repaint to change the color.
The costs lead and oil about $50 yOar;
Devoe Sl5-probably less.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE d Co.

Must Stay IN DIxmont.


In Common Pleas Court No. l, before
Judges S. A. McClung and ]. A. Evans.
Attorney l.. II. Burnett presented petit
ton for the release of Mrs. Ida Law from
the insane asylum at Dixmoni. After a
lengthy argument, court refused to make
the order.
The case is peculiar and distressing
Mrs. Law is of delicate temperament
and after her third child was born she cut
its throat i'm fit of insanity. Later she
attempted to commit suicide by jumping
from one of the windows of the Presby-
terian hospital, Allegheny. The Com
monwealth, owing to the peculiar con-
ditions, did not take any steps in the first
baby's untimely death, but when later
she strangled another of her children,
District Attorney John G.. Haymake ker had
her indicted before the grand jury for
murder. A verdict of not guilty by rea-
son of insanity was returned, and she
was remanded to the asylum at DiXmont.
In court to-day the Soman was accom-
panied by au officer of the institution and
DR.. Henry A. Hutchinson was also pres
ent. Mr. Burnett explained to the court
that since being taxed 10 DixmOnt in
May, Mrs. Law has been worrying and
fretting over her children and is anxious
to get back again to her family. DR..
Hutchinson stated that he had examined
the woman two weeks ago, that his obser-
vstions led him to believe that she IS per-
fectly sound in mind and competent to
take care of herself But he also said
that her ailment would return at mater
nifty. Mr.. Law suggested that he be al
lowed to give bond if there we any in
dications of return of the trouble, but
the court said that was a condition that
was not guarded against unless the wo
man was kept in an asylum. The court
was informed that the woman would be
properly cared for if released but it
could not see its way clear to make the
order. At this decision Mrs. Law burst
into tears aud said she was so anxious to
again see her little ones, who are now at
Oil City PdlSJuT9 Press.

Fatal Hand Car Wreck.

Andrew Sunson, for a number of yeai s
in the employ of Il. d. Collins, met
death last Thursday morning while as
sisting to propel handcar on the Tio-
nesta Il Sheffield railroad at Kellettville.
Tho crew of about eight men had just
started down the track for their work
and had gotten under full headway, when
the car struck rock that had in some
manner gotten on the track, stopping it
instantly and rearing up on end. The
men were thrown violently forward and
all were more or less bruised, but the
unfortunate man struck the top of his
head on some hard substance, crushing
his skull. Hc was taken back 10 the
boarding house and DR.. Detar sent for,
but died before the DOCTORS arrival,
without regaining consciousness. Fore
man VIM. Nelson and Nils Poison
came here Thursday afternoon and pro
cured suitable casket for the deceased,
and his romans were buried at Whig
Hill on Friday. He was a man Of good
habits, industrious and frugal. Among
his effects were found papers, checks,
ETC., amounting in value to over eight
hundred dollars, representing his savings
OF the past few years. Ho was a native
of Denmark, in which country he has a
sou and five daughters living, hts wife
being dead. He was aged 80 years.

MRS. GLENN @. BuRTT,

Jennie, daughter of John and Sarah
Franklin May 7, 1865, and died at Wild
wood, Allegheny county, Pa, October 4,
1900, aged 35 years, months and p days.
In 1886 she was married to Mr.. Robert
Braddish OF Tionesta township, and for
more than ten years hor home was in or
near Tionesta where she had large num-
Der of friends. In 1897 she was again
married to Mr.. Glen C. Burtt, formerly
of Neilltown, this county, but now au
employee of the Smith Farm Oil Co., at
Wildwood.
Mrs. Burtt was one of nine children,
aud her death is the first in the family
since April 6, 1885, when her father died
in hospital at Pittsburg, and eleven
hours later her eldest brother, Jerome,
diod suddenly near Redbank. But what
seemed most tragic about these deaths
was that the bodies were expressed home
for burial on the same train and the
brothers who had the father's remains
in charge, knew nothing of their broth
er's death till they reached Redbank.
The mother, VINO is still living, resides
with her youngest son at Mcdonald, Pa,
and among the brothers and sisters are
Mrs. Charles Karns of Tionesta, Mrs.
| Carl Walters OF Jameson and William
Brown, of Trunkeyville. Two daughters
are left in the care of relatives. Pearl
with Mrs. Walters, and EfIie with Mrs.
Couch, sister of Mr.. Burtt's. Mrs
Burt, was converted number of years
ago, and, gifted with the power of song,
she was especially helpful in religious
meetings. Her faith and trust in her
Savior were as simple and beautiful as
that Of child, and during her Illness,
which was long and severe, she was al
ways thankful and would say, "'Tis so
sweet to trust in Jesus" She worried
about nothing and asked that the night
before her burial be one of prayer and
song instead of mourning. Her remains
were bro ught to the Walters home at
Jameson, Saturday. and were buried at
Neilltown Sabbath, the services being
conducted in the Presbyterian church by
the pastor.
