TONS OF TREASURE.

About one hundred persons are engaged
in counting the cash now in the Treasury
vaults. There are S9,OO0,000 of silver on
hand in bags, each containing 81 900, weigh
ing SO pounds ounces. So 100000 in sill
yer would pull down the balance at almost
three tons, and 81 100000 would be nearly
10000 pounds. The-entire amount of coin
ed silver now in the Treasury vaults they es-
innate will weigh 543,700 pounds. Apound
of gold coin is worth S24O, and $280,O00 of
it weighs ton, and there are nearly twelve
tons of gold IS, los and 205 in the country's
strong box at the Treasury. Of paper mon
ey, too, there is an enormous amount. One
hundred and fifty millions of dollars are in
SIS, 50 and 81 bills. About seven of these
bills measure yard in length, SO u green
back belt that would reach around the
world almost twenty times could be made
of the United States notes now in the vaults
and in circulation. The money, of course,
is not counted coin by coin. The gold and
silver is weighed very carefully on the fin
est and most accurately fitted scales that
were ever made. Though one thousand
pounds can be weighed at q time, PIN
placed on the balance will tip it.
The hardest worked men of all who are
employed in this count are those who han.
die the money bags. The place in which
their work has to be done is very close, and
after forenoon down there they come up
to the outer world completely exhausted.
II have handled Goals in the engine.room
at the bottom of an ocean steamer in the
tropics" said one of them the other day,
"when it was as hot as perdition; but nothing
has ever 80 exhausted me as does this money
carrying" There is a fine, impalpable dust,
which displacing the bags sets afoat Throat
and lungs become nearly filled with it in an
hour or two, and the sensation is terrible.
Three persons are responsible for the accu-
racy of this count Mr.. Whitney, who is
the person selected by the Secretary to rep.
sent the Treasury Department, has assisted
In seven counts before this, and is always
glad when the job is done. Mr.. Cassel il
present as the alter ego of Mr.. Wyman, just
retiring, whose accounts must be declared
correct before his bondsmen are released
and Mr.. Jordan, who will fill Mr.. Wyman'<
place, has Mr.. Smith to represent him. Even
with the modern plan of weighing the coir
the entire count will not be completed much
before June /, and it usually takes months
hard work to close up the business and make
detailed report to the Secretary Wash
ington Sunday Gazette.

AN AUDACI0US BURGLAR.

At about 2 o'clock on Thursday morning
last the elegant residence of Charles Ray
No. So Prospect avenue, Milwaukee, Wis,
was the scene of the boldest and most sue
cessful burglary which has been perpetrated
in that city for many years. Awakening
from sound sleep at the hour named the
head servant girl became aware of the pres
ence of q man in her room. The fellow was
not in the least disconnected by her sudden
awakpg. He wore mask and carried a
revolver, with which be threatened her and
the other servant girls. Under compusion
the servants gave the man all the money
their purses contained. After securing
it and heaping it on table before their
eyes, the man gave it back to them,
saying that he didn't want it, that it was
Mr.. Rays money he was after, not theirs.
He then forced one of the girls to accom-
pany him to the door of Mr.. Rays sleeping
chamber, and, having awakened him by
rapping loudly, to declare that she was
alarmingly i'll. The moment the door was
opened and the masked man took his re-
volver off her tho girl shrieked Burglars !"
in frantic effort to warn Mr.. Ray, but IL
was too late, rs the intruder at once forced
his way into the room and, placing the
muzze of his revolver in close proximity to
Mr.. Rays head, demanded his money and
valuables. Resistance being out Of the
question, Mr.. Ray acted the part of hos
pitable entertainer and responded to the
thief's demand by giving up some checks
and the costly gold watch and chain which
he has been accustomed to carry, set of
jewelry belonging to Mrs. Ray, an overcoat
and considerable money. The GOODNESS of
the burglar took new turn when he had
secured his plunder. He forced Mr.. Ray to
accompany him to the outer door and open
it for him.
Mr. Ray was the centre of an eager throng on
Change next morning, and was made the target
for many questions. lie said to reporter that
he fixed the total value Of the plunder taken st
his wife years ago. and it would be hard to re-
place it. Ho deOoribod the burglar as man
small in stature and very abrupt in manner. lie
pointed revolver at mo and said if did not go
back to bed he would blow my brains out" said
Mr.. Bay. Il call that very audacious thing to
do in mans own house. Afterward he said
that had better 90 down and shut the door after
him. He went out at the back door," Mr.. Rays
house is one of the finest in the city 1t is built
uron the lake bluffs, and fronts on Prospect
avenue, having the Northwestern Railway track
aud the lake at the foot of the terraced descent Ia
the rear. There is no doubt that the burglar
after committing the crime. made his escape by
way Of the railroad track, thus lessening the
chances of his being noticed at that early hour
The Ray mansion is furnished with q burglar
alarm, but it has fallen into disuse and has not
been set for q year and half. The telephone
wire was cut by the burglar before beginning his
work, and in this way speedy communication
with the police was cut of.
IMr. Ray is brother of Lieut.. Z. II. Ray, who
is well-known in this city.

DesOIatiOn Caused By The Gale And

Deso1atiOn Caused By The Gale And
 Rain of Monday.
 The storm of Monday night was especially severe in Hamden where wide track of des, olation marks it's pathway. The wind was unusually boisterous and in it's fury tore down chimnies, trees and fences, and up- rooted the growing crops, making sad havoc with the labors of the farmers. Lots and roadways were Uttered with branches and trees that went down in the gale. Striking in near the brick yard of A. Ives & Son the wind stripped everything before it in strip two or three hundred feet wide Going north it struck the orchard of James Sanderson where fruit trees were torn up and damaged to the extent of $1O0. In George w. Cooleys orchard a tree fourteen feet in diameter was torn up whole from the ground and carried off several hundred feet, uprooting potatoes, tomato vines and other ground crops in its path. Guy Barber lost two large trees on his premises, and his coal shed and outhouses were smashed to atoms. Old residents of Hamden say it was one of the severest wind and rain storms experi- enced there in many years, and it will take many dollars to repair the damage done
