The New York Detectives are Supposed to
Think Tie Has Been Located.
A special dispatch to the New York
World from Philadelphia, which covers
two pages OF that paper with the intro
duction below, and the entire history OF
the Charlie Ross case, says 1t Is more
than probable that the long-lost kid
mapped son OF Christian X. Ross has at
last been found.
The Detective Bureau at the New York
Police Headquarters seem reasonably
convinced that they have discovered the
boy. Charles A. Grant, chief clerk OF
the Police Commissioners OF New York,
diligently worked the clue down to this
point where Inspector Byrnes was con-
suited and the lstters detectives called
in. The great Vidocq Of the New York
police apparently thinks it worth active
efforts.
Mr.. Grant has been following the case
diligently but quietly for several months,
and he now feels no hesitation In stating
that he has located Charlie Ross IN a
Massachusetts, city. The World Is aware
of the boys present location and he will
be seen by the World correspondent to-
morrow.
After sixteen years of mystery, sor-
row, and detective research, it would
electrify the heart OF the whole country
10 know that Mr.. Ross and his family
will once more welcome to their fireslde
the child who was 80 cruelty snatched
from them, whatever may have been the
temporary effect of evil associations.
Before the next edition of this newspa-
per goes to press the World hopes to
tel its readers that the Identification is
positive beyond doubt. As will be
seen in the Worlds detailed story to
follow, one Of Inspector Byrnes's trusted
men is now with the suspected young
man.
About three months ago Charles A.
Grant clerk of the New York Police
Commissioners, received information
that made his blood tingle and spoiled
his nights rest This solution of the
greatest detective puzzle of the century
whispered in his ear and clamored for In
vestigstion. He investigated it in his
spare moments, at first with sober face
and then, as the trail grew hotter and hot

And Mr.. Grant kept his own coun-

lCorrespondence OF the Richmond pispatch.l
WELDON, n. c.. Nov &c, 1890.
Halifax county will be solid in the
next Legislature for the old wheel-horse
of Democracy-Hon. Zeb. Vance. Your
correspondent interviewed Mr.. W. W.
Hall this morning, member-elect to the
next House, and he informed me that he
would not only vote to return Vance to
the United States Senate, but that he
would work to secure his election.
Mr.. Hall is editor of the Roanoke
Nescs here, which, by the way, is one of
the best county papers in North Caro-
lima. and is man of considerable influ-
ence. MIR. Hall further said he was sat
isfied that both Hill and Bowers would
vote for Vance. He considers Vance
the farmers best friend, aud when the
Legislature meets thinks all opposition
to him will be swept away like snow be-
fore the sun in summer.
