Charlie Ross Found Again.

The little village of Charlottesville o., au
out. oi-the-way place about l6 miles from
Tlihn puts in the latest, aud it would seem
the strongest claim, thus far. for the discsv-
cry Of the missing Charlie Ross. 1t seems
that last October, when the Westervelt in
vestigation was being holly pressed at Phila.
delphia, two men in close carriage drove
up to the residence OF Mrs Beebe in Oraw-
fordsvile, when one Of them giving the name
Of Skates. left the boy, stating that he had
business to transact in the neighborhood for
q day or so, and did not wish to be bothered
with him. The little fellow remained at the
ladies' house for several weeks. when, nobody
calling for him, he was placed 10 the in6r-
mary. Some weeks ago, another lady took
fancy to the boy, aud with the consent of
the superintendent took him home aud sent
him to school. A lew days ago, some Of
the school children made the remark that
the little boy might be the lost Charlie Ross,
which awakened 4 feeling of curiosity among
the people A photograph was taken Of
the child and sent to Mr. Ross at Philadel.
phia. and telegram was Immediately re-
ceived in response, stating that the photo
graph resembled the lost Charlie better
than any that had yet been sent him, and or
dering the parties to keep him concealed
until further orders. The little hey is about
six years old, aud says his name is Oh ,rlie
Skates, his father having brought him from
Il place he called Cincinnati. The suppo.
siton is that, if he is the identical Charlie
Ross the abductors were doubtless fleeing
from the East with him when the Westervet
trial was in progress, and thinking they were
holly pursued by detectives they lett him.
