PHILADELPHIA, July 6.--An extra

said to-day that it was doubtful If the
regular books Of the company would

Nothing has been shown yet. Bondi
have been returned now to the
amount of $l,200,000. and still the direct
tors are unable to designate the fraudut
lent bonds. In addition to the embezzle,
ment of $50 600 OF funds on deposit at the
Provdent Life and Trust Company, the
investigation has revealed thus far Z
further defalcatIon of $4,000 over at the
Philadelphia Bank, all Of which was cons
cealed by false entries in the books.
OTHERS IMPLICATED.
The Press says: sufficient has been
learned by those having in charge the int
vestigation into the over issue OF the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal ComI
pany's bonds TO state that Messrs. Lesley
and Wilson were not the only persons wbd
were benefited by their stealings. The
names of five OF the men who negotiated
the sales OF the fraudulent bonds navS
been obtained, the brokers located whd
handled most OF the securities and
partial list of the victims secured. 1t was
stated to-day that it was not deemed adyis
able TO arrest any of the parties I'M plicated
just at this time, nut it was
only necessary to keep the sus4
pected parties under surveillance.
This is being done. Should any OF
them attempt to leave the city their arrest
will follow. The scheme was one OF
gigantic robbery, out of which Lesley and
Wilson profted but little themselves.
The greater part OF the $6l5000 which
was stolen, aside from that used to pay
interest, was divided among a coterie Of
men who were nothing more than black
mailers, but who Will now figure as Co

cOlOred men assembled from neighbOring
places aud began making threats that
nobody should 20 to work or be arrested.

RIVERS AND HARBORs.
The Senate Considers Amend
ments to the Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Senate to-
day proceeded TO consider the amend
ments to the river and harbor bill. The
first amendment that was questioned was
the item appropriating $3.50, 900 for the
purchase OF the Sturgeon Bay and Lake
Michigan ship can al and harbor Of refuge.
Mr.. Ingalls, made point of order that
the paragraph was new legislation. This
WAS not a bill to buy canals. 1t was gen.
eral legislation not connected with the
bill,
THE POINT OVERRULED.
The chair overruled the point Of order,
holding that as the amendment was re-
ported by the standing committee (COm-
merce), and in pursuance of an estimate
OF the head of the War Department, it
was in order.
Mr.. Edmunds made the new point that
this was commercial transaction,
and had nothing to do with
the general scope of this bill,
which was for improving rivers
and harbOrs. 1t was therefore irr ell
evant. The chair submitted the question
of relevancy to the Senate and the amend
ment was decided to be relevant and in
order, by vote of3l yeas to 3 nays. The
amendment was discussed until 5:40
O'Clock without being disposed of.
The Senate went into executive session
and afterwards adjourned.

On Wednesday two apple peddlers came
up from Santa Ana, each with a wagon
load of choice apples to sell to the River
side people TO assist them in making their
winter stock of mince pies. A lady down
in Arlington examined the apples and be-
came convinced that they were infected
with the scale She sent word to the office
of the Press aud Horticultarist to have the
quarantine guardian lockout for the pests.
The two loads finally arrived in town, when
an examination of the fruit showed the
presence of the San Jose scale. Mr.. Love.
of the Blue Front for whom the apples
were mostly intended, declined to buy. and
thus become party to the spread of the
insect pest. a large number of OR lead
ing citizens gathered around and insisted
that the apples should not be sold in San
Bernardino county. The owners promised
to sell no fruit in the county When they
left Riverside they signified their intention
of taking their fruit to Smiths mountain
in San Diego county, but as this is an APP
pie section, with few settlers. it seems i'm
probable that they should do so.-[River-

him Us usual the rebid beast made a rush
at him, throwing him down and Selling
him by the heshv rear part of the right
thigh, just above the knee. setting his teeth
and tusks in most vieiously Tony shouted
for assistance, and might have been killed
