Mtartless Abduction of a Child.

fBUBBUU, July 18, 1874.
r l, ea two littU hop were pley-
' tiectoo lane el OaratastowD,
fro allied thrap ltta oatrlege
I invited them oat to ride. No one,
l the children end the men,|waa near at
time. For several days previous these
in two men had approached the boys
different ways, and having, daring
e conversations, given them candies,
. i, do., the little ones expected them
•fore they arrived on the day mentioned
ve, and ao readily oonaented to get
> the carriage. After having driven
r aome distance the oldeat one of the
I little ones was asked to get oat of the
■Triage and bay a few packages of Are-
gesture. Roy like, he most willingly
aomplied. No aooner bad he disappeared
la the atom than the two men lashed the
i and made away with the little four-
fid, whose name I* "
onanux naawsTxn moss,
I who has never ainoe been seen by
je who knew him.
ha father, after searching everywhere
.ho neighborhood, came to the police
joe, where upon hie arrival your eorres-
hdent learned the above. The police,
iar the direction of Captain Heins,
I the moat Scrntiniaing anarch every.
They eoutioned their operations
Coeasiogly day and night, and were de-
jamlaad taJaate ao atana ontmaed that
paid restore the lost one and paaish its
braecnlors. All in vain. They labored
> purpose for three daya and three
lights. There was no clew. After this
be following advertisement appeared in
ill toe newspapers :
orlh SIXTH Street, A B.u»u nun, lour
•raeld, baring innr,-early,* >«enhair, haiel
avei. clear, light skin and ream] faoe ; drened
liabrownlinen aolv withJkort iklrt, broad
brimmed straw hat and laced Ihoei. The child
waa lest from aermantown on Wednesday afr
temaen ( at tuat.), i between roar and flva
o'clock.
This advertisement, too, mat with no
response, and on Monday, July 6th, an-
other .was inserted in tbe Puhlid Ledger.
The next morning, in the “personal ool-
cmii" of this tame journal, appeared the
following:
JJO S—WK BB BBtDT TO NKQOT11TB.
On the ra-ne day the father, Mr. Boas,
reoeired an anonymous latter through the
poatoffloe, in which it was stated that
. little Charlie would be returned for $20,-
J 000. It also went on to any that the boy
(vn io good hands; that the treatment
S ven him was careful; that it had cost
e parties a great deal of money to get
(him, and that they oould not think of re-
orniog him for leas than $20,000.
The father returned the following on.
wer through the Ledger personate:
,0*8 WILL COMB TO TERMS TO THE IX-
, tact of bla ability.
t i Another anonymous letter at onoe was
. reooived by Mr. Boas, stating that the
.< parties who held the child would not part
¥ with it for a smaller tan than the one
M already named. Nbw, mark how r
'' fathers love riees supreme above every
thing! - lie had not in bis possession tha
amount necessary to regain his dear one ;
■ngwbnt he answered the villiaaa through the
Od. penonaU thus:
m "OSiilS WILLI!
doing my Lest to raise It.
£ Thus Hie matter stands. Detectives
have watched the Ledger building end the
r toffine day and night; bat bo carefully
t’li- Uidnappera work that no olue
Wit itevcii Menu to 'ham been obtained to
llluir identity'or thbtf whereabouts. The
child has now been absent twelve days,
and it is doubtful wbetber, during this
time, any of the members of the bonae-
to whioh it belonged have had an
tour of unbroken rest.
tsa omouMSTAHOBa or thb oibb
somewhat remarkable throngbont.
'or five daye previous to duly 1st—the
upon whioh the ohild was stolen—
m same men were seen around the
lighborboud, and each day approsohed
two ohildren and convarsad with
i. It ia presumed that they wonld
>ve made off Wrth the yooogeat, little
lharlie Boas, several days before the 1st
t., bat at each time there obanoed to
e aome one passing along the lane. Dnr.
g n oonvoraation with the father I asked
iiu wbetber be bad any enemies, who
iwed him a grudge, and who wonld be
' ely to take revenge in anoh n rare way.
ho father replied that be wae unaware
that there was uny one in the world who
entertained any bitterness against him.
* The name of the father ia Mr. Christian
'WK. Rosa, of the firm of Boas, Hhott k
X Oo., wholesale dry goods dealers on Mar-
-v ket attest. The konse waa onfortnuats
,. during the paoie, and hence Mr. Bose
* unable to pay at onoe the anm demanded
K by the blackmailers. It is hoped that he
will not be obliged to do ao, bat that
will be the kiduappors who will be obliged
to pay tha penalty worthy of their inhu
manity.
TBS UITTEmB or THB BLACKuaiLkns.
|K Hr. M.—Siuoe writing the above yonr
JjU, correspondent has gained a more direct
Ifc' id-a of the natare of tbo letters whioh the
kiioappears have sent to the disconsolate
fST father. More fiendish, cruel or inhuman
i epistles hnman h ind never penned. One
of them reads similar to this:
“Ws know yon are not worth muoh
money, bat we are aware that you have
iiob frienpt of whom you can borrow. If
yon love money better than your child
J its blood be on yonr own head/'
Another letter reads to this effeot:
“Any attempt to asoertain the child’s
hiding plaoe will result in its entire anni
hilation. We will 'tarn the ohild up’ on
ijt oar own terms "
•rafi Meaning that in oase the money is not
3 fortheoming they will kill the infant.
-** No one aan read the letters without
M feeling hie blood boil. Four letters in all
llfi have been reoaived, and saoh of them ia
4 cool and cruel.
*' “We know oar business,” esys one of
the letters, “and we are going to fight it
out."
Mm. Fabtixotom'b Mistake —“My
dear, where is my ‘Morning and Evening
Devotion 7" naked Mr. Paul Partington,
. meaning n small book with that title, in
which he sometimes read.”
“Here it is,” said Mrs. Tartington, pio
finoing from the closet a dark bottle, and
setting it on tha table with a clean glass.
“Hare it Is, Paul.”
Ha looked intently into her faee to sea
If meltee were aotnating her; bat he
found all there oalmly serene. He would
> not destroy the pleasure of her satisfac
tion in having thus obligad him, so he re-.
.y trained from explanation, and partook. "
—San Freuelsoo anticipates doing n
- large business in sardines. A packing,
hotren has bean erected, and, as the fish
art abundant all along tha Pacific coast
from April to Anguat, it is Anticipated
1 * that n very large business will he done.
’ ' Having the sardines and tbs means of
oaring them, tbo proprietors of the estab
lishment now propose to get their oil
from Mexioo.
