industriously circulating report that am,

want you to shield me, for if this thing gets
out l am ruined man. Then he began to

Charlie R oss.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.-Extensive cores
ponGence by telegraph has been progressing be-
tween Mr.. Ross and the authorities at Odell,
ILL.,, regarding the child there supposed to be
Charlie Ross. A number of inquiries were put
to the child, but his answers are so unsatsfac-
tory that they have finally resolved to have his
photograph taken and sent there for Identified
ton by the father and mother before taking
further steps in the matter; The parents have
been so often excited by false hopes that they
have no expectation that this will lead to any
better result than previous discoveries Lewis
Durgan, the man arrested at Odell, proves to be
a resident OF this city who formerly owned and
drove an express wagon. He has telegraphed
here for credentials as to his character.
Durgan some time ago went on a visit to the
West, taking with him his housekeeper, Mrs.
Coles and two children of Jas. Henderson, now
EMPLOYED on the steamer Edwin Forest. Mrs
Coles holds the relation of aunt to these chill
dren, one of:whom is girl named Alice and
the other boy named Jimmie, who was mis-
taken for Charlie Ross like nearly all the chill
dren Of his tender age. Jimmie wore frock
and this may have been regarded by western
folks AZ evidence of an effort on the part Of
Durgan to conceal the boy size.
