Conditions of the Contract.
Portland, December L

Portland December -.
Another meeting of the Board of Aldermen
was holden this evening, and the order to furnish
increased wharf accommodations for the Grand
Trunk Co., was taken up. After much discussion
the order after being amended was adopted. As
passed it provides that the committee be author
zed to negotiate for the purchase Of Gait Wbalf
property and to rebuild it at cost not to exceed
$4,000, and to negotiate lease of the property
to the Grand Trunk, the company to have the
right to purchase said property by making thirty
annual payments into sinking fund to be estab-
lished by the city; such payne nts to be sufficient
in amount to reimburse the city at the end Of
thirty years for whatever sum the city shall have
paid out for such property and interest. Nocon-
tract shall however, be consummated until the
city is authorized by tie legislature to hold real
estate Of sufficient amount in addition to the
amount now held, 10 cover said purchase This
so changes the original order that it is doubtful
if it is accepted by Grand Trunk.

Charlie Ross Again.
REPORTED TO LAVE BEEN
FOUND.
The Story Probably a HeartIess Hoax.

New York, December Is. The following from
the brooklyn Eagle is given without vouching fol
its authenticity;
at is rumored in police circles in New York
that Charlie Ross has been discovered identified
and restored to his parents in Philadelphia.
1t is said that within five days after the abduc-
ton, Mosher, the burglar killed at Bay Ridge,
returned to New York from PHILADELPHIA, bring
ing with him child. lie went to his residence
IN Rivlngton street and remained there three DAYS,
when he was seen TO leave with the child, though
the clue did not then become known to the police.
Subsequent investigation disclosed this visit and
further search showed that Mosher had gone to
baltimore, where he arrived without the child
There he committed a burglary and left for Gin
cinnau, where similar crime was pcrpetrated
without capture. Returning to New York, he af-
ter two days, proceeded to Shrewsbury n j., and
brought back child to his residence 1t was not
seen to leave the house, but police search de-
monstrated that 70 such child was in the house
and 1t was supposed to have been taken to some
new place Of concealment.
The dying words of Douglass the pal of Mosh-
er, attracted the New York detectives to Bay
Ridge and it is thought that paper or some other
clue not disclosed to the reporters was found on
Moshers body. \ search was at once commenced
by superintendent Walling, Capt. Kinds of Phila.
delpha, Mr.. Henry Lewis and Mr.. Ross, an IN
Gle OF the lost boy, and several detectives.
