The LUDLOW MURDER. - Nothing
particularly new has been developed in
the Lu How mu der case as reported on
second page. On the person OF the or
gan grinder are ted at Chester, was found
1854 done up in 13 different packages,
and every time they found package he
would say that was the last one The
evidence thus far does not appear TO be
very strong against the two persons ar
rested. One can speak no English, or
at least pretends he cannot. No exam
nation was held on Tuesday and the in
quest over the body had not up to that
day, been sufficient to determine whether
the murdered man was shot or stabbed.
1t is supposed these organ grinders were
the same as those here recently, in which
two appeared to be one firm, one playing
the "organ" the other violin. They
were accompanied by two small boys
There was also here at the same time an
other grinder whose organ had the dane
ing popets. This one appeared to carry
on business alone. We do not hear the
children or boys spoken of in any of the
accounts given, and those grinders at
Ludlow, therefore, may be another party

VICTIM OF THE WEsTFIELD.-Among
the victims of the Weslfeld explosion,
was David Dorr, of Middlesex, who went
to New York the Friday previous, ac-
companied by his daughter, to bury an
infant child at Evergreen Cemetery.
As he had never been on steamboat,
he and his daughter decided to go to Sta
ten Island, Sunday. Scarcely had they
got on board when the explosion took
place. Dorr was thrown into the river,
from which his body was taken on Mon
day. The daughter escaped with a
sprained ankle, and on Tuesday started
home with her fathers body. He was a
stout, healthy farmer, aged Ga years.
Two Rutland men had left the steamer
but an instant before the explosion.

in the ownership of the buildings in the
heart of the village known as Went.
worth's or Mammoth brick block, is a
change OK proprietorship of long stand
ing. Col. Wentworth boughs this block
in August, 1885, and has owned it for
thirty.six years, He first commenced
business in misplace in 1888, in build
ing on the site now occupied by Andrews
marble shop and removed the same to
Mammoth block in 1885, and in which
he has done business ever since, though
retiring from active mercantile trade in
1856, selling out to Arms q Wilson
The first deed of this property or lot, or
at least the first of which we have knowl-
edge, was given by Mr. Atkinson of Eng
land, and in 1885 it was decided by Sam
uel w. Goodrich to Asa Wentworth and
Osmer A. Bingham. Afterwards Col.
Wentworth bought Mr.. Bingham's inter-
est. The wood block occupied by ANA
don on the first floor and on the second
by the offices of the town clerk, DIR.
Whitman, Capt. Taylor as sheriff, w. S.
Myers and the Connecticut River Mutual
Fire Insurance Co.-was built by Col.
Wentworth in 1858, burnt last year and
rebuilt with third story which has since
been occupied by the TIMES office. The
Colonel sells now mainly to relieve him
self from some of his cares in the even
ing of his life, now little past seventy,
after an honorable and successful bust
ness career, and it is expected and hoped
that he will still continue TO have an Of
fee in the building and do business for
many years to come.

The unusual incident of the arrest of
a supposed murderer, occurred here on
Monday afternoon the 7th, when officer
Fullam from Ludlow arrested an organ
grinder suspected of some knowledge of
the murder Of the man found at Ludlow.
There was very little in the appearance
or demeanor of the man arrested here,
to inspire one with the belief that be
was capable Of the crime, and your cor
respondent apprehends that the officers
of the law may be very possibly or the
wrong scent this time.
