dispatch says: 'AlIs. Ellen Long, widow,
and L, S. Whittemore, the father of the boy
found in the river with his throat cut,
have been arrested for the murder.
The detectives who undertook the
case had their suspicious turned to
Mrs. Long because of rumors
that she once attempted to poison White
more's wife, and failed Searching his house
they found bloody clothes, which she had
been wearing up to the murder, and a
butcher knife and two razors stained with
blood. In the well on her premises was found
club with blood marks. The neigh
bors say that criminal intimacy
existed between the widow and White
more, and that it was known to his
lO-year-old son, who was probably thus dis
posed of to stop the scandal. The boy was
missing ten days, but the father made little
effort to find him. The theory is that the
boy was killed by Mrs. Long in her cellar,
and that the father carried the body to the
river and hid it in the place where he pre-
tended to first discover it ten days later.
Mrs Long is a daughter of ex-County Judge

The Kentucky Tanglef0Ot Trade.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 6-There are H.
100000 gallons of whisky in bond in this
revenue district, and it is being taken out
quite rapidly. Only one distillery is now
running in the district, that of H E. Page,
at Maysville, and it is running upon only half
capacity. Two other distilleries win start up
Gaines & Co., at Frankfort, and G. G.
White g. Co., at Paris With these excep-
tons probably no other distilleries in this
district will start before February, as some
of the distillers wish to wait to see what con-
gress viii do and others do not wish to make
an overproduction. Expectation to Canada
and Bermuda has practically ceased, only
twenty barrels of whisky having been ex-
ported from this district during the month Of
October.

at Second avenue by Clarence Jandorf, of
No. 32S East Sixty-ninth street. a school
boy, and Morris Hail. of No 343 East Sixty
ninth street, who is employed in Il brokers'
office in Wall street. The boys asked her if
she woull buy them little beer. She said
that she would and the boys gave her few
cents in money. They followed her for half
block and then stepped on each side of
her. Then they knocked her down and
both outraged her. The girls cries for help
brought no assistance, aud bleeding and
bruised she dragged herself home where she
told her parents the story. Her father, John
Stellar, went to the Twenty-eighth Precinct
station and made n charge against the boys
to Capt Gunner, who arrested the young
rufIians They were taken to the police sta
ton where they protested that they were in
noeent. DR.. O'Hara, the police surgeon
attached to the precinct thinks that the
