Report Of $l0,0OO,OOO Worth Of
Securities to Be Made Larger.
INTEREST FOR REGISTRARS
William Lee and Frank McClOskey
Want the Levy Court to Pay the
Interest on the Bond Re-
Quired Of Them as
Regist ion
Officers.

Levy Court met in regular session yes
House. William Lee and Frank Nc
Closkey appeared before the court and
requested that they, the Court, pay the
interest on the bond required of them as
registration officers. This interest
amounting to S. per head has heretofore
been paid by the officers themselves. No
action in the matter was taken.
The city and county assessors made
their returns under the Adams Invest
ment Law. The books showed about
$l0OO0,00Q in securities, but in the opin-
ion of the assessors and court their fig
ures should be increased materially. The
books were turned over to the court and
the assessors given until Tuesday next,
when final settlement will be made.
County bonds to the amount OF Sl0.-
600 held by the Philadelphia Trust Com
pany, were reported to have nlatured
and were ordered paid by the court, thus
Iessening the outstanding debt OF the
county.
John II. Rodney, Esd, rendered an
opinion regarding the assistance that
charitible institutions of the county
should receive from the Levy Court. Mr.
Rodney stated that in his Judgment no
institution was entitled to help from the
county, with the exception of the Ferris
Reform School, as this institution was in
a manner connected with the suppression
of crime in the county, and therefore
should receive the financial support OF
the county. On motion court adjourned
at $50 o'clock.

Spccial Dispatch to THE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE sun
WAsrIyGroN, June 25.-Colonel Allen,
the press censor at Playa del Este, teie-
graphed at midnight last night to the
Signal Service Bureau, the news OF the
attack of Wood and Roosevelrs Rough
Riders on the Spaniards near Balqulrl.
II is unofficial, but it confirmed the
newspaper reports.
The messaae was sent at once to the
White House and shown to the Presl-
dent He expressed great sorrow at the
list of dead The PRECEDENT ordered that
Secretary Alger and General Is Miles ana
Corbin be notified, and this was done
by phone about O'Clock a. IN.
80 General Corbin says that, Judging
from the names of the list of dead, the
regiment in attack was that from New
Mexico. There were few Eastern men
killed or wounded.
While naturally the loss uf SO many
men killed and the large number
wounded in the engagement near santl-
ago Yesterday causes deep sorrow, it is
felt at the Department that, under The
circumstances, it is surprising that the
list of killed was not much larger. The
service performed by the Rough Riders
and the Massachusetts and regular cav
alry is recognized by the Department as
very important.
It was the honor duty of the initiative
attack, and was evidently conducted
with great skill as well as dash and
bravery. The moral effect, it is said, is
sure to be inspiring to the whole army,
and cannot fail to make an impression
upon the enemy. In the opinion of the
Department it was not an act OF thought
less enthusiasm.
It was necessary for the safety of our
army that the brush should be beaten
and the way cleared for the advance OF
the main body.
This duty involved danger greater
perhaps than any other to be encoun-
tered until the troops are called upon to
make an assault upon the Spanish works.
An attack from ambush was naturally
anticipated, and it was necessary Tor
troops with dash and courage to advance
into the obscure and unexplored chapar-
raj to drive ont the lurking enemy, and,
if need be, many lives had to be sacIl-
feed in this daring enterprise. The
Spanish were fighting on their own
ground and under cover, and nothing but
the most daring assault could drive them
out
Had our loss amounted up into the
hundreds, it would not have been sur
nrising nor would it have been exces-
sive, measured by the Importance OF the
movement. Driving ont double their
number OF the enemy from ambush and
completely routing them, will loss on
our side OF but thirteen killed and fifty
wounded, is regarded by the d, partmen,t
as a brilliant achievement, and one cal
culated to maintain and even to elevate
the morals of our army and to infilct
upon the enemy sense OF dread and
higher respect for olr arms. Heheral
Corbin said this morning:
"This is war, and we know that some
of our brave boys must be Killed. we
feel the deepest sorrow for every man
who falls, but the loi,s is not large con-
sidering the character Of the engagement
and its results"

MAD Dog CREATES TROUBLE.
William Fisher, of Ashland, Goes to
Pasteur's Institute as the Result
OfBefriending q Canine.


Thursday afternoon about 9 o'clock
Bayard Fisher, 90 years old, was walking
on the road between Ashland St tion and
his home, when he noticed very attrac-
tive shaggy haired black dog. He picked
the dog up and carried it to his home.
After the dog looked the people over at
the house it took in the barn and stables
situated on the premises. During this
tour the dog came in contact with two
year-old ca'f and took piece out of its
fore leg, it also grabbed three or four
chickens to sharpen its appetite up for
set to with another dog, which it got the
best OF. Mr.. Fisher by this time took
hand in the fun, and the possibilities
now are that he will lose finger for his
kindness towards the dog. The new pet
bit Mr. Fishers middle finger of the left
hand very badly, and then ran away, 60
in the direction of CentrevilIe, where it
is understood the dog bit several other
dogs.
Mr.. Fisher became very much alarmed
as also did his friends, as it is feared the
dog was mad. To prevent any serious
results Mr.. Fisher left yesterday alter
noon for New York to have his finger
treated at the Pasteur Institute.
1t is claimed by Mr. Fishers friends
that the dog wore collar marked &. w.
Chambers, 1900 Broome street.
Mr.. Chambers claims that his dog re-
turned yesterday morning, and from all
appearances the dog shows no signs OF
being mad and he cannot understand
how it happened that the Cog was near
Ashland, as gentleman by the name of
NIcCanIlty, living near Greenville, claims
the dog was at his home all Thursday

And BlameS Him For the Jury's
Verdict.
CONFERENCE AT The JAIL
Between United States Senator
Richard Rollins kenney and
Charles H. Butler, which
Lasted For One Hour.
Mrs. Clark and Her
Sister Also Visit.

Thomas S. Clark of Dover, who ON
Friday afternoon last was adjudged
guilty, in the United States District
Court, of aiding and abetting William N.
Boggs in the looting OF the First Ma
tional Bank OF Dover, now occupies cell
No. |. known as the "warden's' cell, at
the New Castle Jail.
Ever since he first entered the doors of
the prison he has been in respondent
mood and is bitter in his denuneiation of
Boggs, whom he alleges is the principal
cause of his being where he is today.
When Clark entered the jail it is stated
that he remarked that he had been bad
all his life but that this was the first
time he had eyer been ON the dump.
One of the first ones to call on Clark
at the Jail yesterday was his wife and
her sister who stayed with him the en-
tire day
During his incarceration at New Castle
Mrs. Clark will be with him daily, she
having taken rooms at the Gilpin House,
within block of the Jail.
Yesterday afternoon United States
Senator Richard Rollins Kenney, who
will be tried on Tuesday, July 5, in the
United States Circuit Court, and Charles
H. Butler, clerk of Clark, and also under
Indictment, paid visit to the prisoner.
The trio were in consultation for over
an hour, but what was said during the
conference is, of course, unknown to
anyone but themselves and one who
reigns on high. The meeting between
these three took place in the sitting room
of Sheriff Flinn's residence.
Clark avoids Boggs and takes his
meals by himself, during which, it is
said he continually bcratcs the fate
which has at last 0vertakrn him. The
visitors that called on him yesterday
did their utmost to cheer him up, but he.
has evidently lost all heart and is prob
ably resigned for what will follow. John
Biggs, Esq, is as yet undecided as to
whether he will ask for . new trial or
not.

TERRIFIC RAINS.

" ith Accompaniment of Heavy Thunder
and Sharp Lightning
The excessively high temperature of
the past few days eliminated Friday
evening in an unusually heavy thunder
storm of remarkable length. The rain
fell in torrents and was accompanied
bv a high wind. The lightning was
very sharp and vivid and the thunder
heavy and continuous The streets in
some parts of town were flooded from
curb to curb and many cellars were
filed.
Shade trees suffered considerably,
but no buildings were damaged.
Two big fires, one east and the other
south of the city, were noticed. but
neither could be exactly located. They
are supposed to have been the result OF
lightning striking in the oil fields.
During the play of the mysterious
fluid the electric and telephone wires
were somewhat interfered with.
