DESTROYING THE cvaReNov.I

How Mutilated Money Il Disposed Of ana
the Circulating Medium Renewed.
Nearly every working.day in the
wear, at about two o'clock in the
afternoon a queer procession may be
seen threading its way through Ger.
tain dark corridors of the United
States Treasury Building. The pro.
cessiOn starts from the Redemption
Division Of the Comptroller of the
Currency, proceeds down the Iona
corridor to the southwestern flight OF
stairs and then dcsccnds t. the sub.
basement. Then It marches along
another corridor a short distance, and
suddenly turns into a large room, in
which Is a steam engine and O huge
iron tank.
This procession represents all the
authority Of the National Banks Re.
nemption Agency. The room In
which IL comes to q halt contains the
machinery for the distinctions of
worn and mutilatcd currency
The tank referred to Is In reality Q
big steel reservoir into which steam
IA introduced. It is provided with q
grinding apparatus, and Is called .
macerater. Previous to the arrival
OF the prOce ssiOn the machine has
been tested by the engineer in charge.
An engine of abOut thirty horse power
Is required to operate it. When the
boxes are brought into the destruc.
ti0n room, the agents Of the Govern.
nicnt and the banks each produce q
key, which Is inserted In q lock con.
Meeting with the maccrater. After
all the keys have performed their
duties the macerater Is opened.
Then lot OF red tape Is unwOund
from the treasure boxes, and the man
who carried them from the redcmp.
ton division lifts them one after
another and dumps their contents
into the reservoir. As soon as the
last package Of bills has left the box
the cover to the macerater Is relOcked,
the engineer starts his engine, and
tho huge grinders begin to perform
their task.

moment that the money thus do.

United States a check Is Immediately
sent by him to the bank, representing
the sum received. When the dc.

Will GO 70 House OF REFUGE.
Young Lawrence LoughIin Convicted
of Having Stolen Bag of Rags.
Acquitted of Other Charge.

Young Lawrence Loughlin was yes
terday convicted of having stolen a
bag of rags from Moses Cohen, but
recommended to the extrems mercy OF
the court.
The boy went on the stand and swore
that the rags exhibited in court by
Moses Cohen were not the ones he sold
to Harris Cohen. He said that on July
8 his mother gave him Il bag of rags to
sell as II reward for picking coal. This
was done to enable him to get money
for to celebrate July Evidently the
jury did not believe him.
After the case was given to the j1ry
Loughlan was Immediately arraigned
on smother charge of larceny and re
csiving before Judge Archibald. 1t was
alleged that on July 10, last, about ? 80
in the afternoon he entered the store of
Thomas Cavanaugh, at Carbondale.
while Mr. and Mrs. Cavanaugh were at
their home across the street eating
lunch. 1t is said that young Loughlan
forced open the door of small room in
the rear of the store and stole box con
tanning $40
Mrs. CAvanauGh saw Loughlin leav-
ing the store and cried after him, but
he pretended not to hear her After
the testimony for the prosecution had
been heard Attorney Bsamish asked
the Judge to return verdict of not
guilty, for the reason that the com
mon wealth did not disclose the length
of absence from the store Of the Cav
anaughs or that the boy was ssen en-
tering the store; that he was only seen
leaving it and that some other person
might have committed the theft, as no
portion OF the money was traced to the
possession of the boy.
Judge Archibald ruled that Mr.
Bearnish's position was correct and di
rected a verdict of not guilty. 1t is
probable that on Saturday the court
will direct that the boy be sent to the
House of Refuge.
He is charged with the larceny of a
muf aud sum of money from store
ia Carbondale short time ago, but
the case has not yet been presented to
the grand jury and it is thonght ad
visable to place him beyond the pale Of
temptation.
