MUTH BOY FOUND.
Missing Philadelphia Lad Reported in
New Jersey City.

PHILADELPHIA. June 1s-Frederick
Muth. the seven-year-old boy who was
lured from public school in this city by
an unknown man on last Tuesday. has not
yet been returned to his home. 1t is said
the boy has been found and that the 81 900
reward offered by Charles Muth father of
the lad. will be paid to the person who
located Frederick.
The rumor that the boy had been found
spread quickly in the neighborhood of
Muth's place OF business. and crowd gath
cred to welcome the return of the boy.
Muth. Ii Is reported, left the city this
morning. His destination was not divulged.
but 1t is believed he has gone to New
Brunswick. N. j., Jersey City. in both
OF which places it was reported the boy
had been located
A telegram was received here today from
New York stating that Mrs Gustave
Brandus of 4i0 st. Marks avenue. Brook
iyn. an aunt OF the missing boy. is led to
believe that Frederick will be at her house
today
NEW YORK. June 1s.-Mrs. Gustave
Brandus of Brooklyn. sister of Mrs. Fred
eriCk Muth, mother of the seventy ear-oid
boy who was kidnapped in Philadelphia last
Tuesday. said today that she has seen moth
Ing of the boy since he disappeared. She
said. however. that she had received a tele-
gram today from the lads father inform
Ing her that the child might be brought to
her house at any time. He said that Fred
die had not been found yet, but for me
TO be on the lookout for him. as he would
probably be brought to my house at any
moment" said Mrs. Brandus. ~ don t
know what he means by that. but you may
be sure that I'll do as he says"
Captain of Detectives Donaghy admitted
last night in Philadelphia that he had come
10 the conclusion that little Freddie Muth
had not been kidnapped. but on the con-
trary was in the keeping OF some relatives
who not on friendly terms with the
boys parents. Charles Muth. the father
OF the boy. entertalns this View more
strongly than Capt. Doaaghy.
Mr.. Muth sent for Capt. Donaghy last
night and told him that he felt sure his
son had not been kidnapped. He intimated
that there was some family trouble mixed
up IN the affair. but despite the question
ing OF the chief of detectives would not tell
the whole story
II was convinced from what Muth told
me-" said Capt. Donaghy last night. that
] have had my men wild goose chase.
I have called in all the men i could reach
aud In the morning I will take the rest of
tho case"
Capt. Douaghy was visibly angry over
the turn the sensational case has taken.
He admitted that clews were slight and
that with the exception of the story told
by the boys father. there was little to
work on which caused him to feel sus-
picious about the case. However, he said.
his doubts could not be allowed to stand
in the way of his plain duty. so he ac-
cepted the fathers statement uncondition-
ally and set every available man on his
force TO work.
Muth. the father, had little to say last
night.
Fred Muth. the kidnapped boy. has been
found

A PRESBYTERIAN FUND.
Raised to Rebuild Churches in San
Francisco

CHICAGO. June 1S.-In Presbyterian
churches throughout the United States yes
terday collections were taken up for a fund
for the rebuilding of the edifices of that
denomination destroyed or damaged by the
San Francisco earthquake and fire. The day
was fixed officially by the recent general
assembly at Des Moines. Iowa. which asked
that at least $500, 900 be raised. In most
of the nlnety-four Presbyterian churches
OF Chicago and vicinity the request of the
assembly was observed.

cisco disaster more than one-half the
amount forwarded from the churches of
that denomination in the United States was

Godfrey Carter Fined $40 for Robbing
Bow

Burton Doyle, small boy who sells fow-
ers around the 7th street market, was called
aside Wednesday forenoon by a colored
man for some purpose and after the colored
man had departed the boy missed s. which
he had in his pocket. Policeman Jack Of
the second precinct arrested Godfrey Car
ter, colored, on the description of the boy,
and charged him with the larceny. Doyle
positively identified Carter as the maa who
robbed him, and he was charged In the Po-
lice Court yesterday with the crime. Judge
Kimball imposed a sentence of SO or thirty,
days.
Chief Wilkie OF the secret service made
an appeal for the defendant, saying that
Carters wife was his laundress and that
Carter was industrious and of good char
acter.
There's lady around here who wants
some flowers" said the colored man to
Doyle, about IL o'clock. The boy, anxious
to make money, followed him and the COL
ored man took him into Freeman's alley.
There he petted the boy for several mo-
ments and then sent him 10 a lady up the
alley. The woman stated she wanted no
flowers and when the boy looked for the
colored man he was gone.
Burton Doyle's brother. John, who had
seen the colored man, also Identified him
as the man.
