LITTLE CHARLEY ROSS
The Brutal and InsOIenG
Letters Of his AbduQfOr.

New York, SEPT. 1o.-The Her
ads Philadelphia special to-day
gives in full the anonymous letters
addressed to Mr.. Ross by the abduc-
tors of his son Charley. The letters
demand money before restoring the
child, and say that putting detectives
on their track viii only defeat Ross's
own ends. Ii any approach was
made to the place where they haK
hidden the child it would be the sig
nal for his instant humiliation
money alone could fetch him out
alive.
In letter dated July 9th the abb
luctors demand $40, 200 for the child'ss
release, and they ask Mr.. Ross to am
swer through the Ledger personals
In subsequent letter they submit ~
form of answer TO be used by Mr..
Ross in the Ledger, viz: Ross win
come to terms, or liess will not come
to terms.
The letters are by turns explana-
tory, argumentative, dictatory aMM
brutal. In a letter dated July 15ttn
they say the child is safe and healthy
The letters are mispelt Throughout
but give evidence of great shreWd-
ness and caution and even some abil-
ity. The bad spelling Is certainly u
disguise.
trial of Westeryelt, charged witfa
completely in the abduction Of little.
Charlie Ross, was resumed this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. at the opening
of the court Mr.. Haggert, assistant
district attorney, formerly ANNOUNCE
o. that the commonwealth case wass
closed.
Mr.. Ford, counsel for Westervelt.
asked the court to direct the Dis
trict Attorney to elect which count
of the Indictment he would go to the
jury, and also that the court wouldA
passupon the question whether there
had been sufficient evidence to re-
quire the defendant to answer upofz
the first and second counts, charging
abduction and concealment OF the
child within his jurisdiction.
Mr.. Haggert replied that the lat
ter notion of Mr.. Ford's request
would involve q discussion Of all the
evidence offered in the case, whicN
at this time he considered would be-
unfair to the prisoner. AS to the.
first he quoted from Whartson's Grim
inal law to prove that when an in
dictment contained several counts.
charging the different forms, and Of
fence arising from one and the same
transaction, therule was not to force
the prosecution to elect upon colmts4l
The court sustained the positions
taken by Mr.. Haggert, and refuses
to compel the district attorney to-
elect.

FOR THE LADIES.

A double fraize for the long slender
neck.
There is no settled style for fixing the
hair now.
Black lace soarfs are very little
thought of now
Cancels hair in invisible plaids will
again be worn.
For the house slippers are used with
very large rosettes.
Black jet ornaments are no longer
fashionable on hats.
Knife pleatings are to be used more
abundantly than ever.
Plain wooden goods will be trimmed
with plaid again this fall.
Pigeons, pheasants and peacocks are
to worn on the winter bonnets,
The engagement ring should now be
worn on the first finger of the left hand,
She edges of felt bonpets aud hats are
to be worn raw, not bound, this season
Many of the sleeves are slightly wide
at the hand and filled in by ruchings of
crepe lisse' .. 1855 s---.- . zsS
Gros grain ribbon is said to be out Of
style for trimming bonnets, only the
soft twilled is used.
Wide twiled ribbons, broad enough
for sashes, are to be used in full soft
loops on the back of bonnots.
Chatelaine bags are used again, as
the dresses are pulled SO tightly back
the dress pocket looks bad If it's full.
The bonnets, it is said, are to have
long strings of closely twiled ribbons,
with diagonal stripes an inch wide.
Felt hats and bonnets arc generally
considered second best, but this winter
when handsomely trimmed will be
worn with dress costumes.
The new felts are partly smooth and
partly fur-beayer felt, and the brim is
Of one shade and the crown another
shade, though of the same color.
A CONSPICUOUS novelty for this season
is ecru cashmere lace, used to trim bon
nets with. 1t is wooden lace, and is
to be used in profusion in ruches, quill
ings aud barbes.
Black velvet bonnets will be scarce
this winter for the young. Among an
importation os forty bonnets there was
only one of black velvet. Dark navy
blue and brown seem to be the choice.
A few dark bottle greens are seen.

The Crops in Ohie-
a BETTER SHOWING THAN WAS u
PECTED.

TOLEDO, Sept, II. The CoasD4es'~-
cidl publishes this morning carefully
prepared crop reports from somee-
seventy-fiye points within the immed--
late range Of the Toleda trade.
From these it appears that the pros
pect is not as gloomy us it appeared
a few weeks since. Wheat is con-
siderably under the average in pro-
duct and not less in condition. Corn
is fair in quality, with the assurance
of a good yield if not struck by frost.
Oats do not come up to the average 81
having suffered materially from the
storms, but still the product is large.
Potatoes are abundant in nearly
every direction, selling at low rates.
Fruit is light. Hay averages heavy,
and is in good condition. On the
whole, the outlook is far better than
was expected sixty or even thirty
days ago.

HER MUSIC TEACHERS STATE
MENT.
George Albert, a music teacher,
now in Troy. who says he taught
Mrs. Tilton to play on the piano,
says of her girlhood: She learned
rapidly. and at the end of six
months she was as proficient as
many are after a tuition of two
years. Otherwise Mrs. Tilton was
not bright girl. She had mild,
exp-esssionless black eyes. and
was slim and pale. She did not
go to school, but did work around
the house for her mother. She
seemed too timid to have beaux.
and when he heard that she had
married Tilton he was surprised.
He knew Tilton slightly and had
heard Beecher preach. The pro-
fessof was astonished at Eliza
beth's marriage with Tilton, be-
cause Of her quiet and retired dis
position, and of her devoutness to
the Methodist faith. She was a
member Of that church, and dur
ing the professors stay in the
mansion he never KNEW Lizzie to
stay away from church but once,
and that was on account of a
storm. Then she asked him to go
for her and get the text. She
never argued, but accepted every
thing told her.
Albert came to this country
from Bohemia Is years ago. He
went to Brooklyn where he board
ed at 81 Sands ST., kept by Mrs.
Morse Albert says she kept quite
a genteel boarding house. Lizzie
was then between IA and Is years
old. Mrs. Morse, learning Albert
was music teacher, obtained
piano, and engaged him to teach
Lizzie music. Mr.. Albert looked
