WHISKY TRUSTS.
TUB EOD8E COMMITTEE J.OQKINO JHT0
The matter.
Washington, July 27. The House
committee on manufactures today
began an investigation of the so
called whisky trust. . J. M. Atherton
of Louisville, president of the J. M.
ithertou - Company, was the first
witness, v The company was not en
zaged in distilling whisky but in
handling the whiskey of a number
of firms wbo do the distilling business
in their own ; names, i be witness
said that most of the larger distillers
of bne Kentucky whisky entered into
an agreement by which tbey bound
themselves to produce no whUky in
the fiscal year of 1888. Some few
large firms re. used to sign the agree
merit and there were about one bun.
dred and fifty email distillers wbo
were not asked to sign the agreement
which crew out of the fact that there
had been a large over-production (,f
wbitky which could not be con
suruett in this country and whs ex
ported to Lurope to find a marker,
but no buyers having been found
much of that whisky was coming
bat k. In 188:1-84 there was about
7,000,000 'gallons produced each
year ; in 188. about 10,000 000 ; in
1886 about 16,000,000, and in 1887
about the ssme quantity. In order
to protect the owners of. this whinky
from the effects of over-production,
an agreement to suspend operations
from July 1. 1887, to .July x, was,

was not in the nature of trust; there
was no consolidation of property or
marein of interests. The only other
organization which the witness knew
of hsvmg ever existed In the Ken
tuckr wuisl.T trade was; The Ken
rocky Distillers' Association formed
about 1879. The object of this
association was for the consideration
of prsnosed changes in the internal
revenue laws, and technical trade
affairs had nothing whatever to do
with the production, and the only
time the association took any interest
in politics was when, after' there bad
had been a lar?e accumulation of
whisky, it attempted to get the bond'

New Developments in tbe Cross-
Wmte case.
' Baitlgb Cor. WU. Keattnger. '
Tosday another matter in con ieo-
tion with 'the Cross-White ouse ia
talked of with interest and specula
tion. It is stated that on Saturday
ast after Cross statement was read
in court Capt. E. R. Stamps, who
was Dresident of the bank before
Cross, and was not made to appear
in a favorable light in the statement,
went to the editor of tbe Aews ana
Observer and requested that certain
things in the statement not be pub
lished, referring particularly to tbe
individual indebtedness of the di
rectors to the bank, and said that if
some matters were published that
ciit for - libel would be brought
against the paper. The News and
Observer stated to your correspon
dent that this last, however, was said
In a jocular way and not at all seri
ously. When the statement appear
ed, somewhat oot down, on Sunday
morning. Cross noted that it was not
full, and understanding that Mr.
Stamps had interfered with the pub
lication of tbe statement in full, last
night wrote a letter to Mr. Stamps
ia which he (Cross) charges Stamps
with interfering with the full publi
cation without cause or reason, and
stated since Stamps bas done so, be
(Cross) will proceed to make known
certain matters which will certainly
criminate Stamps and possibly put
him In tbe penitentiary. I his Jotter
from Cross is considered somewhat
wild, but it is out and known and
is mentioned as a matter of new. in
connection with the case. Both Cross
and White say they propose to have
their statement published in full,
and it Is expected that both will ap-
pear in iuo naieigu signal mis
week. White yesterday made a
verbal statement with references to
false entries made on the bank ledg-
ere, saying that the pages or tne
sogers would show false entries
made in the handwriting of a former

S.vt ud Obarra,
By far the most amusing and per
plexing feature connected with Scott
rartin scase is that people can't
agree about the various peculiarities
and marks which the prisoner Is said
to possess. To an outsider calmly
taking in the verdicts of the various
inquests held over bcott, tbe con
flitting testimony is sadly bewilder
inz. A certain abstract fact is stated
about some mark about the prisoner's
corporeity by one person and Is
flatly contradicted by another, une
person will go in to interview bim
and find some well denned scar
which to bis mind is a "clincher'
then souie one else goes and takes a
look and declare, that tbe same is
not there.
As stated a dav or two asro Mr.
Hugh Blalock, of Panther Branch
townsnip made a discovery which
was supposed to settle tbe matter.
Scott Partin'a annt. Mis. Frankie
Partin, remembered a gash on Scott s
big toe which abe aald be received
when a baby and u this were bcoit
the scar would be there. Mr. Bla
lock on making the exnmination
found the scar sure enough just as
described.
Now, however, John Lee, a broth
er Irubman. who does business on
Wilmington stieet, and wbo bas tak
en a great interest in bcotis case
has made a careful examination and
swears by tbe abades of St Patrick
that there Is no scar there, lie bad
Scott to take off bis .hue and then
washed his foot so there could be no
possible mistake about the scar. Tne
toe was then carefully scrutinized for
the allegtd .car, but it could not be
found.
We don't know bow to account for
tbe mystery unless Mr. Lee looked
at the wrong toe.
Likewise a few weeks ago it was
poaitvely asserted that certain moles
had been discovered under the pris
oner's arm. which positively identi
fied him, but Stewart Ellison said it
was no such thing; there were no
moles there. We suppose tbe next
