one has ever occupied this place as long
as Mr.. Finley. Two men have died while
occupying the post. and it was supposed
that in each case death was caused by the
mierobe-infested bills.
The worst infected money comes from
the lower classes of foreigners, who use
old shoes, stockings, ashpiles, ETC.. for
banking purpose. Only the man who leans
over such piles of money all day long
lingering each bill. really knows how bad
it is. The odor arising from 1t is often
sickening, and on several occasions the
teller has had to disinfect rolls Of money
with chloride of lime before it could possi-
bly, be handled.
The danger from breathing the disease
laden air above the bills is not the only
peril which the teller must guard against.
Often the danger of being inoculated with
some disease is imminent. If the teller
has even the tiniest scratch upon his
hands, wrists, or fingers. he covers it care
fully with collodion or couuplaster.
Mr. Finley's predecessor was once badly
poisoned in handling soiled bills. He came
to the Office one day with q little scratch
on one of his fingers. He had not covered
the wound or endeayored to protect it in
any way. A soiled bill came in contact
with the scratch, or germs from the bill
got into it, and blood poisoning resulted.
as sausage. and the poison went through
the mans entire system. The poison ulti-
mately caused an eruption on the neck of
the sufferer. Two surgical operations
saved the mans life.
Mr.. Finley is a stout, vigorous young
man, who apparently could stand almost
anything. but after sixty consecutive days
at the asserting desk he has to leave his
cage for month and work in another de-
partment of the subtreasury. Once a
year he gets a two weeks vacation. but
if he succeeds in getting a little color in
his face during that period it doesn't take
many days over a pile of dirty bills to
make it disappear again.
Fortunately for Mr.. Finley, the banks of
Chicago have recently relieved him of a
share of his disagreeable work, as well as
some responsibility. The banks now sort
all of their money before they send 1t to
the subtreasury. All of the bad money
which is to be withdrawn they put in en-
velopes and SEAL. In this shape it goes
to Washington. Mr.. Finley does not have
to open the envelopes to sort the bad
money, and he Is not responsible for the
amount contained in the packages.
Mr.. Finley was asked to explain his re-
markable record in detecting counterfeits.
"The counterfeiter nearly always falls
down SO badly in one or two places that
an expert can spot the bill at once" said
Mr.. Finley. "He makes his mistakes most
often in reproducing the seal. guess

Of the queer might improve too rapidly.

At Middletown, N. Y. several houses
We're struck. One belonging to John Welsh
was destroyed.
At Flushing the barn of the Casino Lake
House was burned. The damage amounts
to s45.c00.
A despatch from Mount Vernon states
that trolley car at Morris Park was
struck and badly damaged. No one was
hurt.
There were dozens CT small fires through
out Manhattan, and the firemen had busy
time for over two hours.
The macadam roadways throughout Sta
ten Island were damaged by the severe
storm last night and the trolley lines were
tied up for nearly two hours. Crops were
ruined in many parts of the island by the
rainfall, which is said to be the heaviest
in many years.
The tracks of the railways were buried
beneath several feet OF earth and stones in
many places. Huge bolders washed down
Jersey Street, York, and Franklin Avenues,
upon the tracks of the electric company.
Eight cars Of the electric company were
stalled on Richmond Terrace, at the foot Of
Franklin Avenue, New Brighton, when the
storm was at its height Lightning struck
the trolley wire and burned out the fuses
and lights in all the cars.
A sheet Of flame passed over the head
Of William H. Wood, a conductor on one OF
the cars. and singed off his hair. The
lightning ran along the wire and rails
about the cars causing a small-sized panic
among the passengers. None was injured
Several persons were cut, bruised and
burned at Sheepshead Bay Road and Brigh-
ton Beach Road crossing during the storm
by bolt of lightning that struck the troll
ley wire and went down the poles OF two
cars.
A car of the Brighton Beach Line, Man.
haitian bound, had stopped to let Marcy
Avenue car cross in front of 1t. Just an
the car was brought to a stand the passen-
gers of both cars felt shock. Many were
thrown from their seats to the road, COW
cred with broken glass.
1t was found that the bolt had followed
along the wire after striking the Brigh-
ton Beach car, and had gone down the pole
of the Marcy Avenue car. The officials
of the line refused to give the names OF
the injured. and declared that no one was
seriously injured.

Damages Asked for Injuries Receiy-

Kansas City. Mo-, July 13.-The mechan-
ical goat used by the Modern Woodmen Of
America is accused of bucking and mash
ing one of Max Dorch's fingers when he
was being initiated into that order, and he
has now sued the society for $4,000 dam
ages.
In his petition Dorch says this goat is
fastened to an axle between two wheels
eight feet in diameter, and that he was
strapped to the goat. When the wheels
were rolled over the lodge floor he spun
around like top. Dorch reached out his
hand to save himself and 1t was mashed
between the wheel and the floor.
John Sullivan. an official of the Wood
men. says that the camp provided medical
attendance for Doreh. paid him two weeks
salary, and took a receipt from him in full
payment for his injury.
A suit brought by James Lenna Wins
