A SILVER AVALANCHE.
A Slide II " Million Silver Dollars ut ths
philadslphis Mint.

AAAue
A portion Of tho $50. 600, 900 that vas
stored away in vault G at the mint
came very close to being % cause Of dis
aster to several clerks who We're count
ing the coin on Tuesday afternoon. An
avalanche Of silver dollars. released
from their bundles through the rotting
OF the bags, poured down into tho space
where the clerks were standing, aud
only through their hasty escape was q
loss OF life pr0vented.
Tho coin was piled mp in bags to a
height Of l3 feet and . width Of = feet.
The vault il damp, and tho bags had
become moldy and frail.
About 8 o'clock, as Wellington Morris,
an employee, was standing on top Of
tho pilo raking in som0 loose dollars,
he trod into u bag, and the silver dollars
NJ once began to slide ont. Like u SNOW
ball on u mountain side. tho mass OF
silver dollars grew III size. There was
an ominous rumble, and tho clerks at
the foot Of tho pile looked up in sur.
prise. Seeing the impending danger, q
| wild break was made for the door. Sc
rious injury to Morris was feared, but he
succeeded in escaping unhurt.
The impact Of the dollars shook the
mint building as by M earthquake, and
intense excitement prevailed among the
employees. 1t is estimated that the
amount which fell was valued at fully
81, 900, 900 and weighed lie, 900 pounds.
The accident caused II change to be
made in the method Of counting. Here
toforc the counting has been facilitated
| by the use Of u pair Of scales, 81, 900
being counted and weighed al u time.
Now il will be necessary to count the
dollars one ly one, and the work will
| probably consume six months, possibly
an entire year. Under the old system
the count would have been finished by
