GRANTS BIG DOCTORS BILLS.
Rumors That They Are Paid by George
w. ChIlds.
From ne Philadelphia Nous.


NEW YORK, June 13.-There are two
stories current in regard to the heavy
medical bills which are being incurred by
Gen. Grant. -Four very costly physicians
have been employed almost continuously
during the past six months. II is custom
airy in this city for practitioners 20 render
their bills to their regular patients on
June for the preceding half years SER
vices. A careful estimate of the agQre-
gate Of the four accounts gives 100000
as tue sum which, Judging by the quantity
and quality OF the work done by the four
doctors, must have been demanded at the
beginning OF the present month. Dr.
Douglas now lives In the house, neglect.
ing his other practice altogether, and Drs.
Sands, Shrady and Barker have averaged
a call per day, counting In the DAYS which
they have devoted entirely TO the case.
All are specialists, accustomed to large
fees.
The suggestion that they are content
10 accept the incidental advertising as in
lieu of cash remuneration is not tenable.
because the job has not, on the whole,
made good regulations for the two whose
status could DE raised by connection with
celebrated case. One story is that
George W. Childs has paid the bills. He
was mere ABOUT June l. Visitor at the
Grant house. His intimacy with the
General is well known. and his liberality
is proyerbial. Mr.. Childs has since de-
clned TO tell whether he met any or all Of
the medical expenses. A second ex.
PLANTATION is that the physicians have
taken in payment orders on Webster a
Co., the firm which is 10 publish Grants

ment, but that mis- assent or that Of his
partner would not be essential.
IL Is certain that the Generals present
resources yield only $21, 600 year, which
would barely cover the ordinary expenses
of his household, leaving nothing for such
immense d0ctoring bills as must have
been now rendered. The reason why Or.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Col. Casey Perfects His Arrangements
for Additional Safeguards.
From The Washington Star.

From The Washington Star.
The committee of scientists who ex-
amined the Washington monument after
it was struck by lightning have not yet
made formal report of the changes they
deem desirable to prevent similar acci-
dent. AS it is known, however, that their
principal recommendation will be TO sup
ply additional points on the roof of the
monument for the lightning to strike, Col.
Casey decided to take immediate steps
for temporary prevention from lightning,
fearing that chance bolt might strike
the monument again and cause even
more damage before the entire changes
which might be recommended could
be made. With this view, after submit
ting his plan to one of the committee,
who Immediately approved 1t, as it was
in the direct line of their intended recon-
mendatiOns, Col. Casey went to Phlla-
delphia yesterday and ordered four copper
rods three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness, which are to extend to the outside
OF the roof of the monument, one for each
face of the roof, and to be in direct con-
nection with the four copper rods which
extend from the iron pillars which COM
pose the framework Of the elevator to the
base OF the capstone. The four additional
rods will each terminate in seven branch
ing gilded needle points. 1t has been de-
termined by experience that the lnte-
rior lightning-rod apparatus is capable
of conducting all the electricity
that could possibly come from any
storm, and with the additional outside
facilities it is thought that all danger
from lightning will be averted. There
will be, with the aluminium tips, twenty
nine lightning rods on the roof Of the
monument for the lightning to strike and
be conducted thence without damage into
the ground. 1t is almost impossible for a
bolt to strike at such an angle as to escape
the roof with its many attractions. Work
men are now engaged in constructing a
scaftolding to surround the roof, and it
will be in place by next Thursday, when
the rods are expected to arrive. Unless
some unforeseen accident interferes the
new lightning rods will be in place
and ready for duty by next Friday
night. In case the committee have
any additional recommendation to
make they can be carried out without
interfering with the precautions taken in
advance. Since the accident occurred
Col. Casey has been daily receiving COM
municatiOns from every part of the cOun-
try giving advice and recommendations
for the future protection of the structure.
Probably every lightning rod agent in the
country has written to Col. Casey in glow
ing terms of the peculiar advantages of
his rod, which, If placed upon the monu-
ment, will insure safety in the future.
Many of them evidently believe that moth
ing has ever been done to prevent the
monument from being struck. Some OF
the recommended preventions are ridic-
ulOus. An anonymous letter received
yesterday advised that the entire roof be
covered with metal, and that the cover
ing project ten inches beyond the faces
of the shaft, so as to ward off the bolt
from them.

and Stoll, another of the members, ten
/ years imprisonment in the penlten-
/ Jiary, where they are still serving out
their sentence Puget himself was re-
ported as having been killed in one Of the
many skiTmishes with the government
officers. II was not long, however, be-
fore his peculiar counterfeit was again
observed by the Treasury experts, and
the detectives were once more placed on
his track. BY this time he had come to
be regarded as the most skillful and dan
gerous counterfeiter in the country, and
every possible effort was made TO obtain
clew to the place where he was working.
THE ARREST.
Nothing came Of it until last Wednes-
day, when United States Marshal Gross
was secretly informed that Fuget could
be found about nine miles south of Yer
satlles, where he went six weeks ago, and
was quietly preparing TO work with his
dies. The Marshal arranged 10 have Flu
get decoyed into the woods by an old pal,
and arrested him at 10 O'Clock last
night. He had been persuaded TO
strike of some bills that night
and the MarshaPs confederate had
called for Puget in buggy TO take him
and his tools to the place where the work
was to be done. Puget protested that he
was poor old man and quiet citizen.
He weakened, however, when the Marshal
pulled out the bag OF cOunterfeiters' tools
from under the buggy seat, and after that
refused to talk, although he said this
afternoon that he intended to make
clean breast of everything before the ex-
aiming trial on Monday.
Detective Bauer regards it as the most
important arrest in ten years. Hundreds
OF tools Ofthe finest and latest pattern were
found in the bag he had with him. In adj
ditiOn were the dies Of atwO-dollar Treas
ury note, series of 1880; a five-dOllaT note,
yignette of Jackson, series of 1875, and
ten-dollar silver certificate, series of 1856.
These cOunterfeits have given more trou-
bic to banks than any others eXtant, and
demonstrate in themselves the import
ance of the capture.
Puget has recently been calling himself
Fuzine and he saws that he is 60 years
old, but ne looks ten years older. Deere
pit, stopped and feeble looking, one would
take him to be on the edge of the grave.
But his movements are nervous and full
of strength.

The Unexplained Midnight Muster in a
Connecticut Gorge.

Connecticut Gorge.
BRIDGEPORT, June 15.-Samp-M
Rock, five miles from this place, is Just
now very much talked about spot, and
all manner of tales are told of happen
ings there. The farmers who reside in
its vicinity speak OF the nocturnal visits
made by strangers to a cave under the
rock. These visitors come from various
directions, driving IN wagons, aud when
they have passed up a deep and narrow
gorge leading 70 the cave the approach is
guarded by n large white animal supposed
10 be a bull dog. The men work until near
daylight, and their fitting lanterns are
watched at very respectful distance by
the frightened yeOmen of that section.
The rock gets its name from the large
depression in its top. where report has il
the Indian ground his samp with pestle.
The rock is nearly 200 feet high, and the
view from Its top is a magnificent and far
reaching one. Indian inscriptions are
found on the rocks, and for years past 10
has been the resort OF owls. snakes, bats
and foxes. A number Of farmers recently
made day visit 20 the spot, and found
lot Of spades and picks. These the farm
ers seized. There was "a quantity of fresh
earth evidently taken from the cave.

William GeOghegan walked into the Central
police station and told Capt. Lannan that he
had been beaten by crowd of men on South
Front street. There was good deal of blood
about his face, and his appearance went to
verify his story. The Captain investigated
the story, and the men charged with the as
sault went to the station in a body. They eX-
planned that they were standing on the street
when a man came up with a swapping turtle
in his possession. He dared any of them to
kiss the turtle, but one of them being dealer
in fish and crabs, warned them not to attempt
the feat. Geoghegan, who was looking on,
boldly said that he would do it, and the turtle
was thrust at him. When he got near enough
the turtle snapped at him, and catching hold
ran over his face and neck, giving him the APP
pearance of a much assaulted man. when, in
fact, the only wound he had was the one in
the lip. When the explanation was made
GeOghegan did not DENY II.
