The NINTH ward Robbers.


THREE OF THEM ARRESTED AND SENT TO
JAIL
Soon after the robbery of the several
stores in the Ninth Ward, on the goth of
October, and which was fully reported in
the COMMERCIAL at the time, suspicion
pointed to Marshal Pierce, William Town
send, and John Mullen, as the guilty par
ties. Warrants we're accordingly and
placed in the hands of officers Hope and
Cloud. On Tuesday the suspected parties
were seen on the Brandywine bridge, and
the officers, while arresting Pierce, were at
tackled by the other two, but finally all
three were taken to the police station.
Townsend and Mullen were sent to Jail in
default of $400 bail each, for resisting the
officers, and. at the meeting of the Court,
next Monday, indictments will be presented
before the Grand Jury, charging them with
the robbery.
Tho charge against Pierce for being con-
cerned in the robbery was tried last night.
Messrs. Kenney, Perdue, O'Donnell, and
Bucks testified to the articles taken from
their respective places Of busidess John
Nation and Charles Grier, testified to see-
ing Pierce coming out of Perdue's yard, and
W. r. Hall, Henry Hanan and Boward Wal,
ton testified to finding some of the articles
stolen in Walton's Ice house, and that Pierce
was seen there on the day before and after
the robbery. The Mayor held the accused
in $500 bail for his appearance at court.

Correspondence Of the PhitGdI. Ledger.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16-A movement is on
foot for a mass meeting at the Academy of
Music, some evening next week, with a
view to an expression OF popular sentiment
upon the pending political crisis. l cannot
ascertain precisely who are the originators
of it, but 1t seems to be understood that it
has the approval of prominent people of
both political parties. In due time the
names attached to the call will appear, but
meanwhile it is duty to say that there are
very grave doubts whether thisls an oppor-
tune moment for any such proceeding,
good-intentioned as it may be- An impress
sion is widely entertained that there has be n
too much meddling and muddling already Y
outsiders with reference to the doubtful
Southern States, and that any further dem
onstrations in that direction would but
have tendency to make matters worse.
In business circles there is much less un-
easiness than there has been. The anxioue
feeling has been overstrained and the re-
action is coming. In the grain, cotton and
provision markets to-day fair business
was reported in all directions, with much
less hesitation to enter into future engage
ments than was apparent earlier in the
week

Another kidnapping Case.

CHILD THAT LOOKED LIKE CHARLIE ROSS
PICKED UP AT THE CAMDEN FERRY AND
MADE OFF WITH.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA singular abb
duction is reported. The child is fair
haired boy, three years old, with light hair
and complexion and blue eyes. His name
is George Washington Anderson, and his
mother, poor working woman, is named
Rose Anderson. She formerly lived at Gil
South Sixth street, and later at the corner
of Seventh and Baker streets. About IL
O'Clock yesterday morning, the mother and
her child appeared at the West Jersey
Ferry house, foot of Market street, in this
city. The boat not being in the dock, she
proceeded to the ladies' room. The wealth.
er being chilly she placed the child in front
of the stove to warm itself. While waiting
for the boat two ladies came and she be-
came engaged in conversation and pro-
ceeded to the retiring room with them.
She returned in a few minutes but the
child had disappeared. The mother imag-
ined that the youngster had strayed ont
side and proceeded to search for it. In the
meantime the boat had arrived and de-
parted, and the mother learned that q man
had embarked for Camden having in hif
arms child answering the description OF
her own.
After long and unsuccessful search fol
the child in Camden, Mrs. Anderson placed
the case in charge of the police of that
! city. They got on the track of the man
but failed to find him yesterday, having los
traces of him and the child near "Caliior
mia Row" block of frames, occupied by
the most disreputable persons, such al
thieves, sneaks and highway robbers
There is suspicion that the child was con
cealed in one Of these houses, but the mos
rigorous searching failed to reveal its
whereabouts. The news Of the kidnapping
created great excitement in Camden, Mayo
Morgan, in person, participating in th'
search for the child and the person wh'
took it.
1t is said that the child seemed to hav
some mystery about it, and some peopl
thought it was not Mrs. Anderson's. o.
account of its fair appearance her neigh
bors often called it " Charley Ross,' but
was younger than he.

GOV. Hayes Under Fire.

HOW he STANDS THE PRESENT PREssURE-HE

Special dispatch to the Nei0 York Times.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 16.-Leading Demo-
Gratis here seem to have grown quite des-
pondent with reference to Tilden's pros
poets in the South, and are transferring
their hopes to the House of Representa-
tives. The Republicans have grown cor
respondingly confident that Gov. Hayes is
elected and will be peaceably inaugurated.
The Governors behavior in the midst Of
the excitement has been beyond criticism,
and he has commanded the respect OF the
Democrats as well as of tue Re-
pdblicans. No one could infer from
any thing he says or does that he has any
other interest in political events than that
of private citizen. From the beginning
of the canvass until now he has betrayed
no anxiety of personal nature as to the
result, and he is now going about his daily
official duties as quietly and cheerfully as
though no Presidential candidacy had ever
entered his mind. His declara ion at
Athens, yesterday, that he had rather be
counted out by fraud, than counted in by
it, is characteristic, and is simply express
sive of the admirable temper with which he
has acquitted himself every moment of the
time since he was first named in connec-
tion with the Presidency.

oED STORY.
BALTIMORE, Nov II Mrs. Lydia Ran
die, aged 40, committed suicide yesterday
by hanging herself ,at her home, 176 Colum-
bia Avenue. Her husband, VIM II. Randle,
had for some months past considered his
wifo to be OF unsound mind, and recently
induced her father, Thomas K. Rimby, to
reside in the house and keep watch over
her actions
Yesterday Mr.. Rimby left the house be-
tween five and six o'clock in the evening,
and remained away for about an hour. On
returning be was surprised to find the house
locked up, but managed to effect an en-
trance through window in the back build
ing. He at once proceeded TO search for
Mrs Randle, and on looking into back
room in the second story discovered her
dead body suspended by rope around the
neck from the door of cupboard. Police
officer Carey was summoned at 6.15 p. M,
and cut the body down, but life had evident
ly been extinct for some time.
The preparations for suicide had evident
ly been carefully and deliberately made

the yard before locking the house. This

portion, making also loop in the other
end so as to fit around the neck. The knot
was placed over d nail inside the cupboard
door, which is about five and a half feet
high The door was then shut, as far as it
could be, leaving the moose hanging out
side. The knot was 30 arranged that if the
nail, small one, should break, it would be
caught and firmly held by the door. The
moose was then placed around the neck and
her weight thrown forward so that death
ensued from strangulation.

The FIRE Last Night.

BARN BURNED NEAR ASHLAND, ON THE WILL
MINGToN d WESTERN R. R.
Since writing the item elsewhere printed,
concerning the alarm of fire last night, we
learn that the light was from the burning
of Bennett Klair's large barn, between Ash
land and Centreville, in Christiana hun
dred. The fire broke out about 12 o'clock
1t was presumed to be caused either by an
incendiary or a tramp, and soon got under
slch headway that the barn with large
quantity Of wheat, corn, hay, oats, two
morse carriage, dearborn, four horses and
five COWS, were consumed. By hard labor
the neighbors we're enabled to save the
wsgon-house close by the barn. The loss
is severe on Mr.. Klair, as he had but a
small insurance. None Of it was in the in
surance companies of this city.

100 pounds, and are hooped with seven
eighth inch thick iron. The spokes are
tightly compressed by steam into iron box
