The Ross Child.

NEW YORK, Dec 16.-Superintendcnt Wall
ing to day instructed the police captains to
keep a sharp lookout for any child resembling
the missing Charlie Ross, as it is probable the
boy is hidden 10 this city. Some persons who
are supposed to have the child left the city a
few days ago, and detectives were put on their
track. A dispatch was received to-day from
the detective by Superintendent Walling to
the effect that the child was not with the par
ties. The Superintendent is positive that
Moshcr did no, communicate with his wife by
letter as she was under surveillance, both in
Philadelphia and here after the child was
