John ". Steel, known as Coal Oil
Johnny, who in seven months in 1862
gouandered a fortune of $3,OOO,000 and
earned the reputation of being the most
remarkable spender in history, is dying
on the Fee farm, near Franklin, Pa.
At his bedside his faithful wife is his
sole companion He has the necessities
of life and nothing more. His last forty
wears have been spent in grief because
of his earlier folly.
Coal Oil Johnny" was 90 years old
in 1861 when his foster mother was
blown to pieces while trying TO ignite a
fire with coal oil. That accident gave
Johnny his nickname, also a farm under
account of 100000.

months he plotted and Planned how he
could cut figure with his fortune. His
record as spendthrift is told i'll Il book

write 1t is Il story of awful folly.
This young man marched about the
streets of Oil City, Petroleum Center and
other oil towns bedecked in currency of
the United States. Bills of various de-
nominations were pinned to his coat and
trousers. He used paper money as
lining for his hats.
He scattered this wealth broadcast
each day, paying So for shoe shine;
$40 for Il shave. His tips to walters
amounted from So to $40. He gave
friends money to gamble with and once
bought a hotel and gave it to the clerk.
In New York he hired a cab, then
bought it and made present of it to
the driver After he had bought all the
champagne in New York hotel once,
he ordered several cases and had attend
ants to spill it in bath tub. Then he
bathed in the costly liquid.
Coal Oil Johnny would pass along the
street, see pretty girl and present her
with a hundred dollar bill. He paid for
everything that pleased his fancy. He
raised the price of everything.
After six months of this riotous living
in 1862 he got to the end of his string.

One morning he awoke dead broke.
Friends deserted him, and he had hard

of shocking your feelings, I must confess
that your revolution only postponed the
day of reputation.

which the Golden House and my other
property are to pass to the new govern

it all up In public. Also l have had to
bargain for the recognition of Johnny
Carr's rights to the Colonels goods. When
all this is settled there will be nothing to
keep me, and I shall leave here without
much reluctance. The first man l. shall
come to see will be you. The truth Is,
my boy, I'm not the man was. I've put
too much steam on all my life, and must
pull up now, or the boiler will burst

POLICE STATION
LONELY LAST MIGHT

The police station was the loneliest
place in town last night. Up until an
early hour this morning not a prisoner
was in confinement in the cells and it
had been that way since five o'clock in
the afternoon. There was nothing do
ing and the clerks, the patrol wagon
drivers and the officers on watch were
at loss for something to do to re-
lieve the monotony. Even a plain
drunk would have been welcomed.
Jack Melanphy made his rounds from
cell to cell from force of habit and got
bluer and bluer as he observed the
boycott against his carefully-prepared
lodgings, while Popoki, the station cat,
walled in his dreariness. Such a state
of affairs has not prevailed at the
police station for years.
