The Ross GELD ABDUCTION CAsE.-The re-
cent proclamation has been published of The
chief of police of Philadelphia, announcing
that the police would fOrego any participation
in the $4,000 reward offered for Information,
secret or otherwise, that will lead TO the arrest
and conviction of the abductors OF the little boy
Charlie Ross. IL seems that this determination
was the result of a consultation OF the twenty
citizens OF Philadelphia who pledged 81 900
each of the $50, 600 offered as a reward. The
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph or Saturday
says:-"Relatiye TO the correspondence which
was for time anonymously conducted by the
kidnappers and the father, IL may be stated
by the chief of police ana by MIR. Ross. Yester-
day an offer of $500 was made by the proprietor
Of a New York journal to the father of the miss
ing child for copies of the correspondence. Mr..
Ross emphaticslly declared that that journal
could not have them at any price, and that
when the proper time arrived the letters would
be furnished 10 the Philadelphia papers. Up to
the present time no new developments have
occurred"

ACCIDENT ON THE b. & .. RAILRoAD.-On
Saturday last an accident occurred on the Bal
umore and Ohio railroad, near Ellicott City.
which narrowly escaped being a very serious
one. Indeed, IL is wonderful that a large nu N
Der of persons were not killed and wounded.
The Winchester train, which usually arrives at
Camden station at 1910 a. m, did not arrive at
the usual hour on Saturday. and IL was coon
learned by telegraph that the train had col
lided with train of coal cars about two miles
west OF Eilicott City. From the statements OF
several persons who were on the train at the
time it appears that as the train approached
Ellicott City the engineer looked out of the cab
window and saw train vf empty coal hoppers
approaching on the same track. The engineer
of the coal train appeared TO discover the pas
senger train at the same moment, and the en-
gines of both trains whistled down brakes at
the same instant. The trains were az this mo-
ment about 500 yards apart, and although every
effort was made TO prevent a collision, the effort
was unsuccessful, and the trains colided with
considerable violence. The occupants of the
passenger cars were badly shaken up, and a
number of them were severely cut and bruised,
but fortunately no one was seriously injured.
The platforms on a number OF the care on both
trains were crushed like so much paper, but the
bodies of the cars were not broken. The great
est excitement, of course, prevailed among the
passengers. The passenger train was detained
TWO hours by this accident. The cause OF this
accident lies entirely with the coal train, which,
L appears, was running on the passenger trains
time. IL IL, indeed, wonder that more serious
results did not ensue.-Bd3. American, 10th.
