The woman has told various and con-
Trajectory stories about the boy and no
one believes anything she says about 1t
and the circumstances are certainly very
remarkable if he should not prove to be
the Ross child. We shall know before
going to press.
LATER-IT is ALL A MYTH.
The sensation in Bennington has col
lapsed. The woman, Mrs. Hamilton,
has proved the adoption papers of the
child in her possession, though it is con-
ceded that the child much resembles the
lost Ross boy. The child's parents who
gave away their boy to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton for adoption are named Gross,
and from this name no doubt sprang the
story, from the child as giving one of his
names as Ross.
The uncle of the Ross boy arrived
Tuesday, but of course did not identify
the Hamilton or Gross boy. Mr.. Ham
ilton is with Barnum's Hippodrome at
Boston and states that the child came
into their possession several months pre-
vious to the abduction of the Ross boy.
Mrs. Hamilton was in Bennington, a
stranger and the circumstances were sin
gularly strong against her, but it leaves
the Philadelphia mystery as great as
ever.

The votes were each closely contested
and the apparent falling off of the Po-
land vote, was owingto the going out and
and drumming up of "anti" men who
in reality predominant in the village,
but do not in other parts of the town.
The vicinity of White River Junction is
strongly Poland and was well represent
ed there by many railroad men who
were obliged to leave after the first bal.
lot.
Some sharp sparring occurred between
Col. Pingree, (anti-P oland) and A. T.
Barron, (Poland) in which each INDUCED
in personalities not complimentary. Fl
nally Col. Pingrey offered the following
resolution
Resolved, That our delegates be in
structed under no consideration to vote
for L. p. Poland.
This resolution was carried owing to
the absense of Poland men, but will moi
affect the delegation, as each was elected
on their own declaration of who they
would vote for.

The Philadelphia kidnapping Case

THE CHILD SUPPOSED TO HAVE been
FOUND IN BENNINGTON, BUT IT PROVES
A MYTH.
Great excitement prevailed in Ben
nington on Monday on the supposed dis
covery of the lost Ross child of Phila
delphia. We copy from report in the
Rutland Globe;
Since the terrible calamity at Brad
ford q Co.'s mill last January no such
excitement has prevailed in Bennington
as did there Monday over the arrest OF
woman, who was accompanied by a
bright and intelligent little boy, who is
supposed to be the Charlie Ross who was
kidnapped in Philadelphia, July LIST, the
particulars Of which are we'll known to
our readers. From information gained
by our reporter who was present ana in
terviewed the parties arrested, we are en-
abled to give the following additional
particulars in those furnished us by our
regular correspondent at that place:
The woman who has been arrested and
who now is well known through this
event, is native of Bennington, her
name formerly being
MARY FLYNN,
daughter of John Flynn, laborer who
for many ye'rs resided IN Bennington.
She left town about four years ago, AID
nothing more was heard of her until last
Tuesday, when she arrived in Benning-
ton, accompanied by the little boy, and
claimed that she had been married to
one Frank Hamilton, now property man
for Barnum's Hippodrome. She was
intoxicated when first seen, in which con-
dition she proceeded to the Stark house,
where she called for room, which was
denied her. She went out from there
and was gone about half an hour, when
she returned and said that she had lost
her pocketbook, but that she knew where
it was. She was again denied rooms,
when she left and went to the house of
her mother, who, knowing that the child
was not hers and thinking that she had
become possessed of it by unfair means,
would not allow her to remain in the
house. She then made her appearance
at the house of man named Moosey,
with whom she remained few days,
when she returned to her mothers, where
she was arrested. During this time
young man by the name of james F.
Fleming, who had formerly known her,
had his suspicious aroused and kept a
close watch upon every movement that
she made. He had read of the kidnap-
ping of the boy Ross and also descrip-
ton of him, and he became suspicious
that this was the boy. He questioned
him as to what his name was, to which
he replied,

IN THE AFTERNOON

the boy was taken to the store of J. T.
Shurtletf, in which is the telegraph office,
which was in communication with the
Chief of Police at Philadelphia, who
propounded questions that were asked to
him by Messrs. John V. Hall and others.
When questioned as to his name he
would reply that his name was Charles
Augustus Hamilton and again that it
was Charlie Ross. He also stated that
he had two names, one being Hamilton
and the other Ross. This statement he
made several times, saying Immediately
after that mama will whip me-" OF
that mama will scold me-" He alsc
spoke of some things that he had been
accustomed to play with, among them
being drum and a jumping jack, but
when questioned in regard to his father
he said that be used to come out and
drive horses, ride in car, and other
statements that were supposed to refer tC
the hippodrome. He said to Mr.. Hal
that be would like to go home with him
and then as IS recollecting himself sud
denly said, " she will scold me, 1 dom
like that mama"

: CHARLEY ROSS.

He communicated his suspicious to a
friend, telling him that there was a
chance to make strike if things turned
out all right" at the same time telling
him what he knew and had found out,
all the time he, together with other
friends, shadowing her to see that she
did not leave town. During this time,
unknown to Fleming, other parties had
the same suspicion and were quietly
working the thing out.
On Saturday kilograms were sent to
Philadelphia and an uncle of the boy
will arrive on Tuesday to identify him.
The boy is blue eyed, fair checked lit
tie fellow, with faxen hair, which seems
to have been lately cut, but inclined to
curl, and looks as though it had been
kept well oiled, probably TO keep it
straight; under the right eye is scar.
He is attired in plain Bingham dress,
with white waist, wide scarf of pink,
blue and white, and blue sacque trim
med with white braid and gilt buttons.
He has on pair of high button shoes,
from which many of the buttons are
gone, and sailor hat trimmed with blue
ribbons. He answers all questions
promptly, and further says that he was
/ tokan into q nIaoa ubara b;a bo;, ,ros
cut, and for boy of his age, talks quite
plainly and shows conciusively whether
he is Charley Ross or not that he has
had the best of bringing up in society,
and that he could not have long been in
company with the woman who has him
as she is coarse, gaudily attired woman
In fact, the child appears to care very
little-if anything-for her, while she
manifests little concern for him, although
she insisted all the afternoon that she
was the only mother that he ever knew
and that it would be proved SO in the
end, which statement isstrongly doubted
by all who have seen him and heard hin
talk.
