Why are children stolen
Not many of them are kid.
nappedin the hope ofpecunia

such as the Charlie Ross alb.
duction, are rare. Revenge
may be the motive in except
ional instances, but it usually
turns ont that the parents
OF the stolen child were utter
" unknown to the abluctors,
That the incentive in a pure
love for childlerand the de-
sire tohave a child is dispro-
we'd tby the fact that nine
times in ten the stolen one
is woefully abused and NAL
treated. Probably the most
satisfactory explanation is
that certain peopleare affect
ed by a peculiar mental de-
rangement which prompts
them to the commissson Of
the crime without malice
aforethought. 1t is, in TACT

Any mention of child steal

Ross case. So celebrated was
the affair that now, sixteen
years after, it has hot to Il.
great degree faded ont of
the popular mind, though
perhaps the details have.
Christian K. Ross lived in
q handsome dwelling, issola-
ted by a large yard in Ger
mantown. a Philadelphia su-
burb. On July all the family
happened to be absent save
twoyoung brothers, aged 4
and Syears. They were play
ing together in the front
street when two men drove
up in a covered wagon. One
OF them jumped out and ad-
dressed the little boys, offered
them candy, and finally pur-
suaded Them tn take a ride.
After drivlnga short distance
the elder brother was given
some money and sent on an
errand for more candy. He
returned in a few minutes,
but the wagon had ,iisap-
Ieared and Charlie Ross has
not been seen to this day.
The crime WIS committed to
sxt,irt u ransoln for the re-
turn Of the child, but the alb

80 great that no agreement

THE GRAND CIRCUIT.
Fleetwood Park Crowded With Trotters for
the Opening Tuesdny.

rsrEc1AL TELEGRAM To THE DISPATCH,
NEW YORK, September 15-FIeetwood Park
has suddenly taken on new life by the advent
of the flyers that are to participate in the sec.
ond Grand Circuit meeting held there, and for
the past two or three days the trotters and pa-
GERS have been coming in from various points.
This morning saw an unusually large number
of visitors at the track, while the me mbers
mustered in full force to see the cam paigners
take their morning exercise. Budd Doble's
stable is large one. and it kept the celebrated
Chicago whip and lis assistant, George Starr
both busy to keep their charges in motion
Doble appeared first behind the bay geld
2l6IL made at Hartford in 1856, when he won
the $40, 900 stake. Since then the gelding has
trotted but few races owing to lameness be-
hind He seemed in good condition today.
and after being warmed up went mile in 2:2S
through the heavy footing.
James Fl. GoldSmith's string attracted con-
siderable attention, especially the fleet black
gelding Gean Smith, who has only been beaten
once this year. His owners, Messrs. Cook and
Craig, of Texas. who were present, stated that
the flyer will go to Boston and trOt in the spe-
cal race at Beacon Park Tuesday against Harry
Wilkes and Susie S.
AS there is no free-for-all at the Fleetwood
meeting Gean Smith had no engagement, but a
club for him and Harry Wilkes. and the fa.
nous pair will trot on Friday. Goldsmith ais,
drove Company, the Kentucky prince gelding
who has not started this season, but will proha,,
bly, be in the 2:l9 class on Friday; Longford a
rapid-going bay gelding. and John Ferguson n
Canadian-bred trotter, that was in Murpby,s
stable till he grew too ill to drive.

ITS DAYS NOW OVER,
The Old Pennsylvania Cunnl is to be Per.
manently Abandoned.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHI
HUNTINGDON, September 15.-The old
Pennsylvania canal, which for years was
the channel of commerce and travel from
one end of this State to the other, is about
to be permanently abandoned. For
several years past the operation
of the canal has been attended
with regular losses, and now, inasmuch as
it is owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which carries all the tonnage formerly trans
ported on the canal, the determine
tiOn has been reached : to allow the
canal property to go to ruin, and
nothing, it seems. can be done. to save
it. From 1880, the year in which the canal
was first put in operation, until 1850, when
the Pennsylvania Railroad completed its
line from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, the
canal was the only means Of transportation
for passengers and freight across tie country.
From 1850 until now the canal was still
maintained throughout a portion of its
route for the transportation of coal, stone
and lumber. From this town westward to
Petersburg the canal was totally
destroyed by the floods of last
June, and the channel Is now
a ruinous mass of debris and rocks. The
Pennsylvania Railroad is surveying GER
tain sections Of it with view of transferring
the railroad tracks from the present roadbed
to the canal site, in order to avoid some of
the sharp curves.
