or persistent effort has ever been made to

is being improved SD greatly, would it not
be appropriate and timely to call the atten-

wish OF q large number, if not a majority,

Bull street be changed to one of more

Solid Fog.
From the Yo4tnn Mnn.

TTOHL INt I OItty HuU.
The deleterious influence of fogs may be
estimated from some results obtained from
examination and analysis last month at
Kew Gardens. The director speaks of the
leaves as being covered with a substance
like brown paint-'tarry hydrocarbon"-
On analysis this shows over 81 Der cent. OF
carbon ard hydrocaEbon, with Al per cent.
OF metallic iron. magnetic oxide of iron,
and mineral water. ANY one at all
acquainted with the physiology of plants
and animals can apprehend 10 moment
how such mixture must affect both the
lungs of men and the leaves-wbich are the
luugs-of plants, as regards respiration.
Strangely enough, the deposit appeared TO
be more marked at Kew than at Chelsea.

NEW York, Feb. 4.-The chamber OF
commerce to-day discussed the best means

RECALLS A FAMOUS CASE.

Ward Waterbury's Abduction Was
Like that of Charlie Ross.
The story of the abduction and return Of
s-year-old Ward Waterbury of Pond Ridge.
N. Y. which was published in the dis
patches of the MORNING NEWS yesterday,
contained so many features like the cele-
brated Charlie Ross case that it is brought
wildly to mind. Fortunately for poor little
Ward, however, the parallel ceases with the
beginning of the story. as Charlie Ross fate
is still as much mystery as the sphinx.
STORY OF CHARLIE ROSS.
Two little boys were playing in Washing
ton lane at Germantown, a suburb of Phil
adelphia, on July l, 1874, when two men
approached them in a carriage aud invited
them out to ride.
No one save the children and the men
was near at the time. For several days
previous these same two men had ap-
preached the boys in different ways, and
having during these conversations. given
them candies and toys, the little ones ex-
pected them before they arrived on the day
mentioned above, and so readily consented
to get into the carriage. After having
driven for some distance the oldest boy WIS
asked to get out of the carriage and buy a
few packages eff fire crackers. Boy-like, he
be disappeared in the store than the two
men laShed the horse and made way with
the little 4-year-old, whose name was
Charlie Brewster Ross and who has never
since been seen by those who knew him.
POLICE ON THE SEARCH.
Thefather, Christian Ross, after search
ing everywhere in the neighborhood. came
to the dice Office. The police made the
most scrutinizlng search every where. They
continued their operations INCREASINGLY, day
and night. All in vain. They labored TO
no purpose for three days and three nights.
There was no c!ew. After this the follow
ing advertisement appeared in all the news
papers:

on Wednesday afternoon, LIST inst, between 4
and o'clock.
Two days later the following appeared in
the personal column of the Public Ledger:

HEAVY RANSOM.
On the same day Mr.. Ross received an
ANONYMOUS letter through the postotfice, in
which it was stated that little Charlie
would be returned for 5000. 1t also went
on to say that the boy was in good hands;
that the treatment given him was careful;
that it had cost the parties good deal Of
money to get him and that they could not
think Of returning him for less than S2O,-
00U.
The father returned the following answer
through the Ledger personals:
ID OSS will come to terms to the extent OF ms
h ability.
Another anonymous letter at once was
received by MIR. Ross stating that the parties
who held the child would not part with it
for a smaller sum than the one already
named. Mr.. Ross had not in his possession

The kidnapers sent other letters to the
disconsolate father. One Of them read:
We know that you are not worth much
money, but we are aware that you have

on your hands.
tbs FIRST ARREST.
The first arrest made was that of Chris
tian Wooster, a notorious panal house thief
and blackmailer. Detective Taggart, who
arrested him held certain letters of black.
mail that Wooster had written in former
years. The letters we're examined, and a
remarkable similarity discovered in their
handwriting aud phraseology. but no better
evidence was found against Wooster, and be
was discharged a week or so later.
Twenty days after the kidnapping Mayor
Stokley OF Philadelp hia offered a reward of
So, 600 for the capture Of the abductors of
Charlie Ross and the restoration of the
child.
The police finally accepted it as a fact
that the child left Philadelphia on the even
ing OF the day of his capture on a western
bound train, and after stopping in Harris
burg a short time proceeded 10 Pittsburg,
and then started east again.
MANY TIMES FOUND"
The clews to the chiIds whereabouts,
which were followed up have been too
hume, Gus for enumeration. For five months
the boy was reported found here, there and
everywhere, but all reports proved false.
The identity of the men who abducted
the child was disco Vered on Dec. IA, 1874, in
way that was as tragical as it was unex-
pected. Joseph Douglas and William
Mosher, burglars, attempted TO rob the
house OF Judge Van Brunt at Bay Ridge,
and were fired upon by Judge Van Brunt's
brother and the farm hands, who lay in
wait for them to come out of the house.
Mosher was shot dead, but Douglas,
although horribly mangled with a gunshot
wound, lived for two hours Knowing that
be was bound to die. he said: ut is no use
lying now. l helped TO steal Charlie Ross.
was in the buggy with Mosher when we
stole him. Mosher knows all about it,
When told that Mosher was dead Douglas
said:
Inspector Welling knows, and the boy
will get home all right" Douglas was
questioned further. but nothing could be
got out Of him, as he was suffering 80 terri
bly, that he would not talk.
WHAT wALLING KNEW.
Supt Waling had been IN search of
the two men ever since the description
given by the little brother, OF Charlie Ross
Of the two men in a buggy" was made
public. The superintendent felt certain
that it answered the description as the two
| burglars, Mosher and Douglas, VINO geuer-
ally worked" in company.
The expectation Of the speedy return Of the
lost boy, which grew out of the death of the
men who were admittedly his abductors
was not realizsd. Not one OF the innumer-
able clews furnished the police bv the un-
timely taking off of the burglars led to the
solution Of the question.
On Sept. 81, 1875, William Westervelt
brother-in-law of Mosher, was found guilty
Of detaining the child and as an accomplice
in the plot. He served term and was re-
leased in 1881.
