ANOTHER DURYEA FIRE.
Its Origin, Also, Is Involved in Mvs-tcry--lcrliiips
Incciulinrv.
PlttRton, July 15. Duryea was visit
ed with another extensive blaze at an
early hour this rnornliiB and like nearly
nil other affairs of this kind In that
town the origin Is steeped In mystery
with a very strong suspicion of Incen
diarism, The fire broke out In the dwelling
liouse owned and occupied by John
Stark, a Hungarian, next to the ruins
of the old Ciomber block on Main street,
opposite Stevenson street, and, ns re
lated to a Gazette reporter by an early
visitor to the scene, appeared to break
out from all four corners of the struc
ture. The flro department responded
promptly and fought hard In their ef
forts to save the building. It wns soon
discovered that the flames had gained
too great a headway to save It and tho
efforts of the firemen were directed to
ward saving neighboring property. This
wis accomplished with but partial suc
cess. The Stark building, which was a
large frame structure used as a butcher
Bhop and dwelling house, was burned
to the ground together with all Its con
tents. On the lower side of the burned
building Is 'Squire' Motlska's new ofilce
and residence. The office was badly
charred but the house escaped 'damage.
A small shed near the lire was also
burned.
When Mr. Stark was seen today he
was unable to state the origin of tho
fire. His property Is valued at $1,000
on which there was an Insurance In the
Snyder nseney. Mr. Motlska's damage
will amount to a few hundred dollars,
fully covered by Insurance.

Astonishing Sngncity Evinced by n
Porker in Indian Territory.
Llunceus Robetts writes to the Popu
lar Science Nevys; John Burroughs In
his attractive book, "Winter Sunshine,"
tells how a Quick-witted cow dlscoveied
tho means of satisfying nor taste for
apples. "WHlle rubbing herself nt;ulnst
a tree, she had obserwd that an apple
sometimes fell. This stimulated her to
lub a little harder, when more apples
fell. Then she took the hint and'rubbed
her shoulder with such vigor that the
farmer had to check hr and keep nn
eye on her to save his fruit" The hog
Is generally considered a stupid ani
mal, but the following anecdote gives
that brute a place as high In the scale
of Intelligence as that occupied by Mr.
BurroUKh's cow.
A few years ago I wns connected with
a government uger.cy In Indian Terri
tory A large peach-orchard belong
ing to the auency school came under
my supervision during the summer va
cation. The trees were well loaded with
fruit, but ull seemed stiong enough to
bear their burden. One day, howeer,
broken limbs were noticed here and
there and, at each succeeding visit to
the orchard, freshly broken branches
were found trailing their twigs on tho
ground, I was now certain that the
weight of the fruit had not caused this
destruction of the trees, for some which
bore the least load had suffered with
the others.
The country was overrun with hnlf-
wlld hogs, many of which were feeding
In the orchard, for no fence was proof
against these razor-backs. I began to
think that they were in some way re
sponsible for the broken branches, but
the question was, how? They surely
did not climb the trees?
My curiosity was soon rewarded by 1
seeing an enormous porker approach
a tree, rear up against the trunk, put
his fore-feet over the nearest branch,
and with the perfect erectness of a
man, walk out the full length of the
limb, using his fore-feet to bend it
down. On reaching the outer end he
seized the limb firmly In his mouth,
dropped on all fours and pulled until
the branch broke off close to the trunk.
A feast was then In reach, which he
enjoyed to the full.
I have related this story to many an
Incredulous listener. But for the fact
that, my eyes have never deceived me
at such close range, I myself could al
most question the reliability of it.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Tho recent death of Christian K.
Ross recalls vividly the world-wide sen
sation created by tho abduction of his
son, Charley Ross, on the afternoon of
July 1, 1974. For twenty-three years
the search has been kept up unavall
Ingly. The United States have been
ransacked, foreign countries have been
flooded with descriptions of the boy
and the circumstances of his disap
pearance; a book has been published
by the boy's father, describing every
event which could possibly throw any
light upon the subject. Many other
lost children have been restored to
their parents through the constant
stream of Inquiry which was evoked by
little Charley's loss, but of the stolen
boy no tidings have ever been heard.
At the time of his abduction Charley
was 4 years old, a rosy-cheeked, falr
halred little lad, living in Germantown
at his father's house on Washington
lane.
For several days previous to
his disappearance Charley and his
brother, Walter, had been given
candy by a man passing the
house In a wagon, and on tho
1st of July this man Invited them
to take a drive, promising to buy them
some fire-crackers. With him was an
other Individual, who kept tho boys In
conversation while his companion
drove. After they had gone some dis
tance Charley began to cry and asked
to be taken home, but he was pacified
by being told that Aunt Susie's, where
the crackers were to be bought, was
close by. On reaching Palmer and
Richmond streets Walter was given
twenty-five cents and told to go to a
cigar store near the corner and buy
flre-i-raekers for himself and torpedoes
for Charley.
The boy' did so, but when he came
out again with his purchase the wagon
and his brother had disappeared. Find
ing himself deserted Walter began to
cry; a crowd gathered round him and,
hearing his tale, took him back to his
home. The police were Immediately
notified, and on tho 3d of July a re
ward was offered for his return. The
same day the following ill-spelt letter
was received by Mr. Ross;
July 3 Mr. Ross; be r.ot uneasy you son
Charley bruster be all writ wo Is got him
nnd no power on earth can deliver out of
our hand, you wll huv two pay us beforo
you git him from us, and pay us a big
cent to. ir you put the cops hunting for

mony can fech him out alive and no other
existln powers, don't deceve youself an
think tho detectives can git him from us
for that la Impi tebel. you here from us In
a few day.
A rigid search was Inaugurated; ves
sels In the rivers, the doubtful locali
ties in tho city, coal yards, lumber
yardr and unoccupied buildings of
every description were thorough exam
ined and descriptions of the missing
boy and his abductors, from his broth
er's recollection, were flashed over the
telegip.ph wires to every city In the
United States. Threo days had elapsed
from the receipt by, Mr. Ross of the
'Irst letter, when there) came another.
It was ns follows: ""
Detective Sharkey and his surviving
partner, Detective Charles F. Miller,
of this city, wcro convinced of tho
authenticity of this clue, and confirmed
It to the satliiaction of nearly every
one connected with or interested In the
fnmouB case This confirmation camo
through, William Westervelt, a. brother-in-law
of Mosher, who had acted as
go-between in the attempted negotia
tions with Mr. Ross and the burglars.
Westervelt wno evidently willing to
sacrifice Douglass, but wanted to save
his brother-in-law.
The police of the country were look
ing for the two burglars when tho resi
dence of Judge Van Brunt, at Bay
Ridge, was entered by burglars on De
cember 14, 1874. The burglers were at
tacked by a brother of the Judge and
several servants. Ono of them was
shot dead and the other was mortally
wounded.
They were Mosher and Douglass.
Mosher was dead when their slayers
reached them and Douglass was in the
death throes.
The latter gasped: "It's no use ly
ing, now. Mosher and I stole Charlie
Ross. Mosher knows alt about him."
The dying burglar was told that Ills
partner was dead.
"Then God help his poor wife and
family," gasped the dying man. "Ho
knew about Charlie. The child will bo
returned in a few days.
The child was never returned.
The bodies of the dead burglars were
identified by Walter Ross. Former as
sociates of Mosher and Douglass were
arrested all over the country, but they
could or would not throw any light on
the mystery. Westervelt was 'brought
to this city, tried and convicted of com
plicity In the conspiracy to abduct tho
boy and was sentenced to seven years
In the Eastern penitentiary.
In the presence of Detective Miller
the wife of the convicted man begged
him to tell what he knew of tho crime,
but he maintained a stolid silence, and
If he ever knew anything lie never
told it. He served his sentence and Is
supposed to have returned to New
York.
Numerous theories exist at the pres
ent day as to what actually happened
to Charley. Some weeks after his dis
appearance a body was found in the
North river, and it was suggested that
Mosher and Douglass had thrown tho
loy there while escaping from Super
intendent Wlalllng's officers. Mr. Ross
failed to identify tho body as that of
his son, but the detectives claim to
have received positive assurance that
It was Charley Ross. Again, it Is
thought by many that some Individual
abroad wanted a child of that descrip
tion for a particular purpose, paid the
men to steal him and that after ho left
their hands the men never knew what
became of him. In any event, there Is
little doubt but that the New York ond
Philadelphia police and the Plnkerton
detectives, so far from helping one an
other, spoilt what chance of success
there was by each determining that all
the glory of the find should be theirs
alone.
In the weary years which succeeded
the death of Mosher and Douglass Mr.
Ross kept up a never-ending search.
Again and again he was written to
that the child had been found. He
never failed to Investigate each case,
although It Invariably ended with dis
appointment. WHEEL AND STALLION ItACE.

This letter was taken to police head
ciuarters and It was agreed that still
ipore vigorous efforts should be made
to trace the writer. A "personal' In
the columns of tho Public Lodger was
Inserted, as follows:
"Ilos, we bo ready to nogoclate."
This appeared on July 7 and at 2
o'clock the same afternoon a letter was
received through the post in reply, re
newing the demand for $20,000 and
threatening to kill Charley in the event
of treachery.
About this time the public began to
know that anonymous letters were be
ing received; the most Intense Interest
was manifested In aiding the search;
suspicious looking men and womon
were stopped and examined, houses
were senrched, drop boxes, lioth out
side and Inside tho post ofllce, were
carefully watched, Mr. Iloss' mall was
Hooded with suggestions for the cap
ture of the miscreants, from blood
hounds and clairvoyance to ambus
cades. One man went so far ns to offer
Mr. Koss $20,000 In cash, that he might
get his son back, but from the heinous
nature of tha crime and the effect it
might have in Inducing other similar
outrages, Mr. Roys believed it his duty
to let tho matter rest with the police.
On July 22 a reward of $20,000 w as of
fered by the mayor of Philadelphia for
the arrest and conviction of tho abduc
tors. This Immense reward attracted
world-wide attention and set thou
sands of detectives at work and mil
lions of tongues wagging. Meanwhile
Mr. Itoss continued to receive and an
swer letters. Sixteen came in all, but
though every effort was made tho writ

In Philadelphia,
It Was a Spnrt for His Life for the
Wheelman, nnd Ho Won.
A Dantona, Fla,, special to the Mo
bile Register says: Henry Marston de
Maya, living below her", had to run
for his life yesterday on his bicycle.
with a mad stallion In rapid pursuit.
The lad von, thus saving his life.
Tom Trcldon, who lives near the
beach', Js a great horseman and, besides
his fine roadsters, he has two stallions,
one, Black Tom, a most vicious beast.
Tho horse Is kept chained In his stable
most of the time and only Treltlon dnre
feed him, the colored stable attendants
saying. "De dehors In dat ho-ss; we'se
no use for Mm." Last evening, while
De Maya was taking a spin on the
smooth sea beach, which here extends
for miles and miles, north and south,
he lipard a pattering noise behind him.
He did not pay much attention to It at
first, but as it bPcamo more audible
looked over his shoulder, and to his
horror saw the outline of Rlack Tom
coining down the bench', a-tearlng, his
head high In the air. ftiortlmr with
rage. He espied the boy, and with a
mail nelp.h started for him. Henry wns
paralysed for a moment, and then,
bending down over hU bar.i, ho let out.
Ho 13 a good rider and lias won several
races iu this section, and In this In
stance he put on full steam. To his
horror he heard the footb.jats coming
on mote rapidly and nearer, and he
saw he- way losing ground. Ho put on
a spurt and gained a. llttl. The per-
splrdtlon steamed down ills faco and
neck as he pedalled for dear life. The
wheel nun around, and his wheel
went over (he smooth, level beach like
lightning, but the horse soon began
gaining again, and Henry heard the
angry screams of the beast as ho got
nearer. Just as the horse was almost
near enough to seize him, the despair
ing lad iv ahead the timbers of an.
old wreck rising out ot the sand fifteen
or twenty feet. Putting a great spurt
on he nvintiged to get sheicl of the en
raged stallion and to secure a lead of
ten yards. Making a wld turn lie
came In 1-ehlnd the wreck; fell, rather
than leaped from his wheel, and liaat
Hy scrambled upon the umooth timbers
taking his wheel with him. Tho mad
stallion came up with a thundering
shock, and tried to leap upon the tim
bers. Henry solzed a loose timber and
struck him on the head, which knock-f-d
him partially down, and enubled
him to escape to a more secure place.
The stallion, mad with rage and pain,
scurried around the wreck, attempting
to get at the boy, his screams being
heard for miles, their intensity making
Henry shudder at tho possibility of
falling Into his clutches. Henry was
kept besieged there for two hours.
Finally Tom was missed at his stable,
and Treldon came for lilm. He had a
fight with tho stallion before he was
subdued, but finally he was caught and
led off, and then Henry descended and
got home.
Today he is so sore and usod up that
ho can hardly walk. He is receiving
many congratulations over his escape
from a horrible death.
