EXAMINING FOR REDEMPTION BURNED NOTES AND
COCPONS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2--The American Express
Company which had several safes in tic fire at the
recent railroad disaster at Tioga Centre, n. Y.
sent the safes to the Treasury Department. They
have been opened in the basement OF the Treasury.
A full force Of experts from tho redemption division
of the Trcasurers Office is at work picking ont and
identifying their contents. The coin which has
been melted in all manner of shapes will have to
to the mint as bullion. The burnt legal-tender
hotes are being separated with skill by the aid of
sharp, thin knives. The express company will get
back at least 1900 for the legal-tender notes
The notes were black mass with slight crevices
on the Sides showing the separation of note from
note The scaly and brittle remains were separated
with great care. The experts, by examination,
were enabled to identity tue notes, together with
their respective numbers. They will be replaced to
the company by new notes. The WORK on the legal
tenders is not vet over. One young lady Is busy
the coupons. and has identified snnuiber of four
per cent coupons representing $500 each, ard four
and half per ceut coupons representing ST. ~
each These will also Dc redeemed. The bank
notes, when Identified. will be redeemed. such Is
the expertness with which apparently nothing bnt
black brittle masses are handled that it very
likely that every note, coupon and bond that was
burned will be separated and identified.
