BURNED MONEY REDEEMED.
Government Issues Bills to Replace
5000 Partially Destroyed.
St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

81 Louis 6lODe-DSulOCIdN.
Henry Bertholdt, of 110 Bacon street, re-
ceiving teller of the National Bank OF Com
merce, received word yesterday that the
Treasury Department at Washington has
redeemed $500 in bills which he had sent
there. When the bills left St. Louis they
were in black, crisp pieces, the charred re-
mains of a contlagration In the money
drawer of the bank. According TO the story
which Mr.. Bertholdt tells. the fire by which
the bills were partially destroyed occurred
Thursday of last week. He was on duty
in the receiving department of the bank,
and the drawer in which the bills of large
denominations are kept was open at his
side. This drawer is always open during
business hours, as change is constantly be-
ing made from IT.. A customer asked Mr..
Bertholdt for a light, and he lighted a
match and handed ii through the window
i'm front of his desk. A spark from this
match fell into the compartment of the
money drawer in which the $50 and 800 bills
were kept. A few minutes later the teller
noticed that smoke was ascending lazily in
"a little blue column from his money drawer.
and a very short investigation was all that
was needed 10 convince him that he was
burning money at a very rapid rate. Mr..
Bertholdt eXtinguiShed the fire, which had
not assumed the proportions Of a blaze.
with his hands. but by that time about one
half of every bill in the compartment had
most totally destroyed. -Four of them were
of the 500 denomination. the other four be-
ing 500 ~greenbacks. They were not SeDa-
rated. but were forwarded 10 Washington
in the condition i'm which they had been
found. An affidavit covering the facts and
quest for their redemption. was also sent.
The treasury officials redeemed the bills for
their full original value. although some of
them were more L an half In ashes.
