STORY OF CHARLIE ROSS.
Death of His Father Revives Interest
In the Boys Abduction.

"Charlie" Ross, the son of a man
whose death was announced in late dis
patches, was abducted July /, 1874. He
and his elder brother Walter were play
ing in front of their home in East Wash
ington Lane, Germantown, when two
men who passed by in buggy offered
to take them for ride if they would
walk to the top of the hill. The boys
walked to the top of the hill and were
taken into the wagon.
Walter wanted the men to take them
TO Main street and buy some fireworks,
but they said they would take them to
Aunt Susie's," n fictitious person.
They piled the boys with candy while
the team was driven toward Kensing-
ton. At Palmer and Richmond streets
Waiter was given a quarter and di-
rected to get fireworks in a cigar store
When he returned the men and his
curly-haired brother were gone. II. C.
Peacock, a friend of the family, took
Walter to his parents.
1t was some days before anything Of
the nature of q clew came to the search
ers. This was in the shape of a letter
from the supposed abductors. 1t wa.
| grossly illiterate and informed Mr.
Ross that the writers held the boy 81
securely that no earthly power could
reach him, and that he would not b'
delivered without the payment of
big ransom. The father was warned
that any attempt to recover the DO,
by detectives would result in the boy
instant death. The writers promised
to communicate with Mr.. Ross within
a few days.
They wrote two days later demand
ing 100000 ransom for the return o
the boy. This sum was prompt.

boy. This immense reward attracted
| worldwide attention.
Mr.. Ross received 16 letters from the
abductors during the four following
months, but they were 50 carefully dis
guised that no clew could be found to
the writers.
Superintendent Walling, of the New
York police, found the clew that ended in
fixing the crime of abduction on Will
liam Mosher and Joseph Douglass, bur-
glars. William Westevelt, brother
in-law of Mosher, acted as go-between
in the attempted negotiations with Mr..
Ross. The police of the country were
looking for the two men when the res
idence of Judge Van Brunt, in Bay
Ridge, was entered by burglars on De-
cember IA, 1874 The burglars were
attacked by brother of Judge Van
Brunt and several servants. One of
them was shot dead and the other was
MORALLY wounded. They were Mosh-
er and Douglass. Mosher was dead.
Douglass gasped to Mr.. Van Brunt:
"It's no use lying now. Mosher and
stole Charlie Ross. Mosher knows
all about him."
When told that his partner was dead
he said:
"Then God help his poor wife and
family. He knew about Charlie
The child will be returned in few

The boy was never returned, the sup
position being that he met his death

ors were eluding pursuit.-N. Y. Her.

feet were no larger than an ordinary

The smallest human being that ever
existed is believed TO have been little
girl named Catherine Elliott. The cor

upon to hold an inquest on her diminu-

in Glasgow, Scotland, about three
weeks ago. Her parents were poor, and
were easily induced by managers to
place their daughter on exhibition as a
freak. She was being exhibited in Liv-
erpool, the parents receiving e3 los.
