Strange Discovery OF Ancient Coin In
Philadelphia.

Several curious ancient coins were found
80 Philadelphia on Monday afternoon last by
men rn:s. ;c;. in exe,va... "s cellars The
coins were wrapped in decayed piece. OF
brown parchment, were OF gold, ana varied
in size. OF them the Philadelphia Inquirer
of Wednesday thus speaks
A number of connoisScus in coin matters
inspected the specimens, and pronounced
thu M to he very valuable, expressing Inc
opinion that the lot would be worth II IL
could be brought together at least S23,ooo
The pieces are, however, scattered aoout
among SO many different parties that II Is
difficult to tell how many OF them there were
altogether. One man who drove cart Il
said to have thirty in his possession, ana
several boys have large number. NOW thal
they have ascertained the real value OF tne
treasure, they are unwilling to part with IL
for any inconsiderable sum.
When the discovery was first made the
boys were disposed to treat the precious
coins with contempt, and SHE'D a Re" pieces
at one another, under The impression that
they were brass. 1t was not until they began
to get into communication with the Jeweiry
store that they appreciated the value OF Tue
discovery. The impression Is that the COINS
were deposited there for safety by some one
of the early settlers who came over under
William Penn. This idea was endorsed yes
terday by a gentleman well versed i'll coli,
matters, and is sustained by the tact that
MANY of the coins bear the image OF Charles
IL, and are dated at the time Of the early
settlement by Penn and his successors. The
mysterious package OF money was buried a.
least ten feet below the level OF the street
and Immediately under an old-fashionee
hearth-stone. As to how it came to be dc

O'Clock on Tuesday morning lasc
"a freight train ran off the track near the
corner of Grant street and Seventh avenue,

Reagan and her thrhe children were sleeping
Mrs. Reagan heard the crushing of the car
and the shouts of the men, and realised that
the house was In danger: A lamp was burn
ing on the otilef side Of the. room; and the
first thought Mrs. Reagan had Sas Of the
lamp, and Of the danger of explosion and
fire if the house should fall. With remarka-
bic presence of mind she. seized her babe in
her arms, sprang out of bed, ran to the lamp
and eXtingtiishtd 1t; then she run down
stairs; and had just reached the foot of the
stairs when the car struck the house and com.
pleteiy shattered the end and side; throwing
the whole building into a mass Of ruins:
Mrs. Reagan and her babe were buried in
the debris, the entire second floor, except a
portion upheld by the back wall of the house,
falling over them. They were protected by
the floor falling upon portions of the wreck,
which kept it from falling directly upon
them. The child was not hurt, the mother
sustained many bruises, but no serious In
iurv. The two other children were sleeping
on the second floor, one side of which fell to
the ground. They rolled against the wheels
Of the car that had caused all the ruin, and
were unipiured.
