spurious Bullion.

The arrest of d man last week, and his sentence to term In jail for attempting to sell spurious bullion, has called attention to the fact that such attempts have beet frequently made, and they are said to have been sometimes successful Tn c0nyersa- tion with MT. A. l.. Pellegrin the IT. $. assayer one day recently, that gentleman informed THE OASIS man that a very common undertaking of the swindling gentry is that of trying to palm off babbitt metal for silver. By melting the babbitt and mixing with it little antimony, the bar produced gives forth the ring of silver and, so long as it remains fresh and bright, will easily deceive all but the most wary Of course 1t will tarnish quickly and then no one would take it for silver SO it has to be disposed of at once, if at all It was for offer ing for sale bar of this description that MT. Pellegrin had the man arrested whose trial and sentence were noted last week
 Another trick described by Mir Pellegrin-and successfully worked was the casting of small bar of gold bullion with an iron spike in the center and running almost the full length How it was done is not exactly known because the vendor Of the bullion did not stay to await disco very of his trick and explain. but it was probably done by suspending the spike in the center of the mould so the molten gold would run around all sides and over both ends. When it was offered to the buyer he cut small pieces off from the bar in various places, and cut into it, but not suf- ficiently far to reach the spike. Tests proved the metal to be of gold of a good quality. and the bar was bought and paid for at actual weight value.
 Upon melting down the bar of gold later, to be run with other bullion purchased into larger bar. the vic timized buyer found the spike, which weighed more than half ounce, and had consequently cost him about ten dollars. Except to have melted 1t down before buying the only way to have detected that trick would have been to weigh the bar for specific gravity.

ADVERTISES
HIS SERMONS
SagaciOus Ashtabula Minister
Uses Printers Ink to Enlarge
His Congregation.

We are bound to commend the sa-
gacity of Rev. e. Whitaker, pastor Of
the First NJ. E. church at Ashtabula,
Ohio, who knows that the way to reach
the people is through the press, says an
exchange. He advocates the use of
large display newspaper advertising,
set in heavy, black-faced type, as a
means of increasing the number of con-
verts and attendants at church SER
vices.
The first test which he gave this plan
had the effect of doubling the size of
his congregation. His second adver-
tisement increased the average $50 on
Sunday evening to 400, which crowded
the church.
DIR. Whitaker does not ask the papers
to print his advertisements free or at
half rates, but pays the best price for
position, running ten inch double dis
play. In the early days 1t was neces-
sary to go out in the highways and by
ways and drum the people up. Now the
newspapers are able to attend to all
that.

DOPE FIEND DEAD.
Cyrus p. Harmon Pas SIS Away In the
Ohio Penitentiary. b.

From a Staff Correspondent. II w.
Columbus. Feb. 8.-Cyrus p, Har-
mon, the dope fiend who was sent to
the penitentiary from Akron last Sat
urday to serve one year for receiv.
ing stolen property, died yesterday
after suffering untold agony.
He had been used to consuming large
doses of the drug daily, and the sud
den change from this to small allow
ance of the article was the primary
cause of his demise. Upon being re-
ceived in the prison he implored the
officials to give him morphine. His
condition was such that he was re-
moved to the hospital where he was
treated for the habit. The physicians
there have handled great many cases
of similar kind and have met with
considerable success. In Harmon's
case it was thought a cure could be
effected but he grew worse steadily.
His death was hastened by organic
heart trouble, which was brought on
by the use of the drug. There is a
sad side to the case. Harmon's son,
Lewis, was received at the same time
to serve two years for stealing the
goods found in his fathers possession.
When he was told of his fathers death
he wept bitterly. Harmon was a vet
eran of the rebellion and drew a PEN
sion. His remains will be shipped to
his widow, who resides at Cuyahoga
Falls.

MISSING
Canton BarriSter Cannot
Find His Client.
Fellow Did Not Show Up at the
Vital MOment...Other
Side Ready.

The case of Robert Mcmillan against
the lNews-Democrat Publishing cop
pany was called in court room No. 1
Thursday afternoon, and the situation
in which McMillan's attorney, Col. ].
j. Clark, found himself, was rather
amusing to those who were in the
court room. He was barrister with.
out client. The case had come up
for hearing once before, when Judge
Taylor was on the bench. The defen.
dants we're ready for trial, but the
plaintiff and his attorneys were not,
and the case was dismissed without
prejudice. II was revived and again
set for hearing. AS in the first in
stance, the defendant company was
represented and ready for the case to
proceed but Col Clark stated to the
court that he could not go on with the
hearing for the reason that Mr.. Nc
MILAN, who brought the suit, and who
was his client, was not present and
could not be found about his usual
haunts in the city.
The attorney stated that he had
heard the case had been settled out
Of court, and asked Attorney Shields
If il were true. Mr.. Shields said that
he had no knowledge of any settle.
ment. He represented the defendant
company, and il the settlement were
made it was without consulting him.
Mr.. Clark insisted on the parties in.
terested in the case divulging the facts
in the matter. but as they were not on
the witness stand, the refused to say
yea or nay.
A client having therefore been con-
sidered somewhat essential in civil
action, the humor of the situation was
appreciated by the large number of
spectators present except possibly Mr..
McMillan's attorney.
Judge McCarty passed the case in
the assignment and Friday morning
the matter was taken up again. The
situation remained the same. the com,
plainant in the case being absent. An
other futile effort was made to find out
whether or not a settlement had been
reached. AS the case could not pro-
ceed without the presence of Mcmillan,
Judge McCarty passed it to the eighth
assignment which will bring 1t before
the court again in about two weeks
when. If not ready for trial, 1t will,
the court said. be dismissed.

tlOnS of Plaintiff.

One of the ugliest slander cases that

The parties lived in Tuscarawas

slander, quite near to each other. The
daughter-in-law has brought suit

her with slander, and $1,000 damages
is asked.

on her part, denies in toto every aver

sprang from the window first, He was

afterwards Mrs. Rosenbluh jumped,
falling heavily on her face. With a
strength born of the excitement Of the
moment he lifted her like a child and
carried her to the side porch, only few
steps away. Here he set her down and
then rushed back into the house in

Rosenbluh was found on the porch en-
tirely naked, the flesh hanging In
shreds from her arms and limbs.
HIS TERRIBLE BURNS.
The movements of the frenzied man
can be traced in the house by the blood
and pieces of flesh which dropped from
him as he ran. After frantically res
cuing the children he staggered into a
downstairs bed room and sank down
on the bed. Here he was found and
soon removed to a neighboring house
Rosenbluh had worn his undercloth-
ing to bed and fragments of the drawers
were still clinging to the raw flesh when
assistance arrived. The spot where he
sat on the bed was soaked with blood.
A pair of trousers were found and
these were carefully drawn on his
burned limbs before he was carried to
the ambulance. When the trousers
we're removed at the hospital large
patches of the cuticle came with the
cloth.
