THE Ross CASE In the case at
Philadelphia against Westervelt, for
alleged completely in tbs abduction OF
Charley Ross, yesterday, the statement
OF the wife OF the prisoner was admit
ted after some contest but nothing new
was elected. AS had been anticipated
Mrs. Westervelt testified that on the
9th day of July, 1874, (the day when
her husband was according the evil
dence of Mrs. Peers, seen in a street
car with Charley Ross he remained
in the house all day. She remembered
it distinctly, as it was her birthday.
Tho testimony SO far given against
Westervelt connects him almost indu-
bitaly with the case, and indicates that
he knows more than any other living
person about the wheIabouts of the
poor child after the abduction.

l0UNG MAN kILLED.-On Friday
last, Elias, son of Elias T. Booth, near
ffarmlngton, met with terrible acci.
dent, which resulted in death in less
ihan twenty-four hours. He was haul
ing heavy log from the woods swing.
ing under two pair of wheels when the
iore wheels fell into q deep rut from
which the team could not extricate
lhem. To aid in extricating, the fore
wheels were detached from the hind
ones and the team hitched to the felloe
OF one OF the fore wheels while the
young man held down the tongue of
!hecart. The weight of the log swing
ing on the wheels caused the tongue 10
act as lever, which possibly two or
llree men might have managed, but
winch Elias was not able to do, ard
when the team started the tongue flew
up carrying him high in the air. He
came down striking his side heavily
across the log, His back did not ap.
pear TO be broken but he was so severe
y injured internally that he died on
saturday In great agony. He was
ABOUT eighteen years OF age, dearly
peloved by his parents and esteemed
9y all who knew him. The sad acci.
1e1t is terrible blow to his family

TdE BRUTAL AND INsoLENT LETTERS OF
us ABDUCToRs.
NEW YORK, Sept 10.-The Hrald's
Philadelphia special to-day gives in
full the anonymous letters addressed
to Mr.. Ross by the abductors of his
son Charley. The letters demand
money tefore restoring the child, and
say that putting detectives on their
track will only defeat Ross own ends
If any approach was made to the place
where they had hidden the child it
would be the signal fer his instant an.
utilization, money alone could fetch
him out alive.
Ia letter dated July 9th the abduc
tors demand $4,000 for the child's re
lease, and they ask Mr.. Ross to answ el
through the Ledger personals. In &
subsequent letter they submit form
of answer to be used by Mr.. Ross IL
the Ledger, viz: Ross will como
to terms, or Ross will not come tC
terms"
The letters are by turns explanatory
argumentative, dictatory and brutal
In letter dated July 18th, they say
the child is safe and healthy. The
letters are misspelt throughout, bu
give evidence of great shrewdness anC
caution and even some ability. Til,
bad spelling is certainly disguise.

'roM the Transcript.


One night this wec., some negroes
attempted to rob John III. Frombcrger,
a transcript employee, as he was going
home, lie raped one of the Williams
on the head with a club aud then made
his escape.
Before the circus had opened on
Monday, Mr.. James HURT, of Kent
county, Md, was in the museum
watching u game of cards. One of
the men spoke to Mr.. HURT concern
ing the game, whca that gentleman
remarked that it was Il swindle where
upon he was told that he had no mon
ey, or if he had he was afraid to show
IT, Mr. HURT felt indignant, and i'm
mediately drew from hispocket & count
ed out the sum of $500, and commenced
exhibiting it to his challenged friend,
but n moment had scarcely elapsed
when the money was snatched from
ms hand. All attempts to catch the
thicf weIc unsuccessful.
On Saturday night last, a number of
negroes stationed themselves on the
st. Anne's road little below Middle
town, to await the approach of some
white men, who worked for Mr.. L. r.
Cochran, and as the latter came near
the negroes attacked and badly beat
one OF them, a young man of about 10
or 20 years of age.
Hearing of this outrage by the ne
groes, special policeman Thomas Bur.
ris summoned posse of citizens and
went down the road to quell the dis
.urDahce, Coming up 10 the negroes
he attempted to arrest fellow named
Sam Sheppard, the leader of the gang,
but the negro drew Il pistol and defied
the officer, saying ARREST aud be
damned" The upshot of it was the
negro was not arrested and the officer
returned to town without him.

Hail SToRM.-A section of this county y

visited by terrible hail-storm on Mon.
day afternoon last. The sound was dis
tinctly heard here, and resembled the
roar of the sea, although the hail, at the
closest point, did not reach within three
miles OF this town. The course pursued
by the cyclone-for this word describes
it better than any other-was about
northwest. The farms there in the
course, suffered terribly the blades OF
corn being completely riddled. We saw
peaches that were quite hard, that had
been bursted open by the hail. A gen.
tleman that was caught out in it saws
that very few of the hail stones were
round-the most of them being broken
and ragged, like brob en- ice. He says
that for ten minutes it was terrific -
