COUNCIL APPROPRIATION EXnAUSTF.D. ,
Last evening, In Council a bill In favor of
W. Q. Moore was presented for approval,
but Mr. Farrell, a member of the Hospital
Committee stated that only $144 of the

other bills which must be passed would
cover that amount.
sup
The bill presented was for $117 on account
of board, due the Superintendent, and had
to be paid out of the miscellaneous fund, bv
special action. It was stated that parties
who had boeome responsible for patients'
board, had failed to pay and lienee the pre

A NEW TRIAL NOT EXFECTED.
Tlie return of Judge Ncilson, of the
Brooklyn City Court, to the. duties of (jls
p eition after a short vacation, and the re
opening of the Court for the September term
have renewed the popular Interest in the
Tllton-Beecher ease, which it was believed
by some persons would lie tuken up again
and brought to another trial.
From inquiries made by a reporter on Sat
urday it appears to he the general impres
sion that the Brooklyn seandul suits are at
an end—at least so fur as Mr. Tilton is con
cerned- One great difficulty seems to be the
want of money. Some friends of Mr. Tilton
short time after the former trial evinced a
deshe to get up a subscription hi aid
of Mr. Tilton, but the project lias apparently
fallen through. It is stated that Mr.
Tilton's eonnsel feel that they did their duty
to to tlieir client by working for him
through the first trial, and they are unwill
ing to go on further in the matter' ithout
compensation. There had also been a little
blckerfngdietwcen some of the counsel and
their client, and this has caused the counsel
become a little lukewarm in the eau.e.
Is stated authoritatively that under the
present circumstances, should the matter
he brought to a trial again,' the former
counsel will not act. The note of issue filed
by ex-Judge Morris in the ease is eluiined by
Mr. Beecher's friends to be un attempt to
forestall the action of Mr. Beecher's law
yers, whose intention it was to move for a
new trial in order to relieve their client of
tho costs of the action. The calendar of
the September term of the Brooklyn City
Court will be called on the third Monday of
the pfeaent month.

A BOY RESEMBLING CHARLEY BOSS SEENIN
AUTAOHITEES
ARKANSAS—WHAT THE
THINK OF IT.
The Herald «f yesterday publiahcff a
dispatch irom Philadelphia, which stated
bricf.y that a boy resembling Charlie Rosa
had been found in Arkansas. The Philadel
phia Telegraph of last evening contains the
following:
A gentleman nami d Cummings called at
tlie police Heai'quait'rs pn Saturday after*
noon and a h. 'ef ,nter\ fe v wit h Capt. Curry
in reference to a small bay, supposed to be
Charley Ross, in the State ol Arkansas. Mr.
Cummings staated that liis^iother had re
ceived several letters last wint er from ,a lady
friend in that State, one of them stating
that a strange man and woman living there
had with them a little boy wlio did not ap
pear to be their own, and who seemed.to be
somewhat Afraid of them. A photograph of
tlie lost boy Charlie Ross was forwarded to
the coriespondtnt, and it was shown to the
boy, and he was asked wlio it was. "Why
that's me," r sponded the little fettow.
The lady "asked him his name End
he replied, "Why Charlie.
:s all he said
This
in regard to
li'« name, but further remarked that the
man and woman with him said they were his
mamma and papa, but that he used to have
another mamma and papa, and they were
better than these. He die not know where
they lived, but they lived nicer than these,
and lie wished that they would take him
home. Caplein Curry requested Mr. Cum
mings to call at the office this morning with
all the letters referring to ffils subject. Ac
cordingly, Mr. Cummings called and was
closeted for some time with Captain Heins,
to whom lie snbmltted the letters in queetion,
which, however, arc not deemed worthy of
special attention, the ease beingconsidereas
o fly another of the same kind which have sent
^elective over the entire country, only to
end In an unsuccessful hunt for the missing
hoy. According to tlie letters the Arkansas
child his eyes entirely dissimilar to those of
Charlie Ross, but this the writer claims
could have bicn effected by eyewashes, used
to change the color and expression. Stress
is also laid upon the fact that the people
having the Arkunses boy arcYworthy, while
the little follow- is of light complexion,
This' Captain Heins says hag been the ease
frequently when supposed clues have been
worked out, only to find that the supposed
stolen child really belonged to its custo
dians. No action will he taken in the Ar
kansas matter at present further than to
send for a photograph of the child mentioned
in the letters.
Hon. D, Turner, late American consul at
the port of Hlago, expired in the general
hospital Yokohama, on the night of the 23d
of July. His whole body had been para*
Jyied for some days, " *
