,NE OF THE ABDUoToRs SHOT.
CONFESSION OF HIS coMRADE.

fAs'tH PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Ia.
Informstion received by detectives from Bay
Ridge Long Island, is to the effect of the shoot
ing Of two men while attempting to commit
burglary. One was killed instantly and the 9TH
er made statement before dying that they had
been concerned in the Charley Ross abduction.
Their names were William Moscher and Joe
CLARK, alias Douglass. They had been suspect
ed by New York and Philadelphia detectives of
being concerned in the abduction, but the search
proved unavaiing until this attempt at burglary.
ANOTHER STATEMENT OF THE AFFAIR.
New YORK, Dec. IA.
This morning, Supt. Walling received dis
patch from Fort Hamilton, stating that two mon
named VIM. Moscher and Joseph Douglass were
shot and Killed there, last night, while attempt
ing to commit burglary. Douglass before
diving, declared that Moscher knew all about
Charley Ross, who was stolen from Philadelphis
and detective was at once despatched from the
Central office to identify the burglars. Moscher
is supposed to be the man who wore the goggles
and induced the boy into the buggy.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The burglary was attempted on the residence
of ex-Judge Ruett van-Brunt, on Coney Island
flank ttohu3 ~ i,uy itlubot i4ohB iuo
Judge saw them endeavoring to force an en-
trance and fired two shots, both of which took
effect one killing Mosher instantly and the other
wounding Dougherty. The latter states pos
lively that 1t was Mosher who abducted Charley
Ross. m
THE ooNFEssIoN-How THE ALARM WAS GIVEN.
New YORK, Dec. IA.
The confession OF Moscher, the dying bur-
glar, was made to Rd. Herken, sailor living near
who WAS aroused by the alarm. He said Mos
cher was married man, and had six children,
but he never knew where Ross's child was con-
cealed.
The men are believed to have been river pi-
rates. Their boat was found moored to the shore
about half mile from Van Brunt's residence.
1t appears that on effecting an entrance into
Judge VanBrunts residence the thieves sprung
burglar alarm which connected with an ad-
Joining residence and aroused the inmates,
who turned out the burglars.
Discovering they were liable to be captured
left cautiously, firing two shots at the pursuing
party and ran. They were then fred upon with
the effect stated.

NEWSPAPERS "BEiTs. We suppose
there must be, ut the most modest
calculation, between fifteen hun
drcd and two thousand rsons in
this vicinity who get thell ,ewspa-
per reading for nothing, including
the unconsciona lie individuals who
steal papers from other peoples
doors. or borrow from their neigh
bors, or loaf around where news
paper is subscribed for. and paid
for. and monopolize it to the exclu-
sion of tire rightful owner. We
have had several subsc: ibers stop
their subscriptions, for no fault of
our carriers, as they admitted, in
uon-d delivery, but because their pa
pcrs, after being delivered, were
taken by some individual, as short
OF conscience as of cash, who would
take possession of it. Thus, a
newspaper, which onght to be we'll
supported by a community for the
general good it does to that com
munity, is made to support the
town in measure-that is, it is
expected to live without resources,
and to advertise the life and busi-
ness of town without the support
which is requisite to enable it to
keep up to metropolitan stand
ard of excellence. An individual
should blush to read a paper labi-
tually which another individual pays
for. There are too many people
who read papers which they do not
pay for, and this is for their eyes
especially, with the purpose OF
soaring their conscience, if they
have any, and for the purpose of
appealing to those who do subscribe
and pay for newspapers, to keep
them fled and not permit them to

CURE.

There aEc now in existence just
five medical systems, each having
its distinctive title and school, and
If each has not it's distinctive law
Of cure, it has at least it's distinctive
mcth0di$ nedchdi. These are the
Allopathic, Homeopathic, Eclectic,
Physiological and Hygenic. And
as medicine has been cultivated as
siduousiy and Systematically for
nearly three thousand years, these
systems must necessarily repre-
sent the aggregate Of the Wis
dom the medical profession has ac-
cumulated thus far in the worlds
history. These systems differ fun
damentally in theory and greatly
in practice, while they recognize
the same facts in anatomy, physiol-
ogy, pathology. and chemistry
The differences, therefore, must
consist in the Interpretation Of the
facts, in the arrangement of the
facts into principals, and in the
grouping of principals as they relate
to the laws of the vital organism.
While there is truth in all of
these systems SO far as demonstra-
bic facts ale concerned, there must
be error somewhere in relation to
primary premises. Wherever two
assumed first principles OF laws Of
nature are antogonistic, one OF the
other must BE- false. But any num-
Der Of facts, however seemingly dis,
cordant, may be admitted as true,
the only question being, how they
are to be interpreted in view Of
principles: OF arranged in harmony
! with law.
Any medical system may be prov
ed or disproved, reasoning from
given premises. The essential thing
in the investigation of scientific
problems, is to prove the premises.
Then, if the logic is sound, the con
clusion ::lust be correct.
The theory that the earth rcvolves
on it's axis had been controvcrt-
ed by learned men for twelve hun,
dred years. Why? Because it's op-
ponents did not study the law of
planetary motion, contenting them
selves with appcarances-facts with
out a theory to explain them. Med
ical systems may dispute with each
other foreSer, if they confne the
discussion to facts and experience.
But when the law of vitality which
comprehends the facts is discovered,
the dispute will end. The world
will then have but one medical sys-
TEN: and that will be the right one.
