sir. Mr. Tilton totally denied tho soeno in Mo. Mrs. Mitchell's testimony to the fact of the scene to day was confirmed by MISS BXBSIB TUBNBB'S LITTM AFPntMATTVB NODS to lady at whose sido she sat in Court.

That both Miss Turner and Mrs. Mitoaell will contradict Mr. Til tain theM nspeota is not to be doubted. IN OBOSS EIAMTKATION Mr. Jonerton took up Mrs.

UitolioU rather tenderly at first. He got her to amend her obetetrisal chronology a little. Witness had sworn that Paul Tilton was born December 31, 1867, and Balph Tilton in July, 1868 about six months thereafter. To obligo everybody Mre. Hitohell changed the date to July, 1869, and all the very sharp visa red young misses In Court who ought to have been at home, looked immensely relieved.

It is well to be careful about these small things, and Mrs. Mitchell's chronological error gave Hr.Follorton one of those initial advantages in which he delights so mnoh, Mr. Fullerton asked the woman if she was perfectly certain tbatshe SLEPT WITH UBS. TILTON every night in the period of her last attendance from December 24, 1870, to January 2, 1871. Witness was perfectly, perfectly oertaln.

It is understood that the plaintiff will contradict the lady on that point. Mr. Fullerton next got the witness to be perfectly sore that in tho middle of the last week of JDeeember, 1870, Mr. Tilton came home in the middle of the day, and said: "I am discharged from tho Rruit 'm rwm Was anything said to you? A. I did not hear anything that waa said, q.

Yes, sir; ahe was. g. And yon spoke of It? A. Yes, sir; I did. Tilton, as you hare stated, what didhe reply? A.

I dont remember the reraiurlc 1 requested to go out of the room, and Mr, TUton went out for a moment and I nut on my TOppe and went Into the study and sat down in front OI tne fire and leaned my head on my hand. Mr Tdton went back into the room. A TU 0IUn0 mt 118 retnrn94 into the room? of 4116 Dtat nw A. WelL 1 should think It must have been abont midnight; I don know the time. was late; It was late when Mr.

Beeoher wu there, and waa after he had gone. Q. Now. how long did Mr. Tilton remain in the siok room at this time? A.

WelL I could not tell; I think abont an hour, aa near as I can tell. q. About an hour? A. It was a considerable time; he was talking loud, but I could not teU what he said. q.

Did yoa hear anything? A. No, sir, q. Did you hear voioes and If so In what tone were they? A. Won, 1 heard voices as though they wero teixing angrily. Mr.

Beach Wait, wait, MJL EvjuTalklng angrily; whose voice waa it? A. Mr, Tilton's voice, Q. Did you hoar Mrs. Tilton's voice? A. I did.

q. In what tone was that A. A tone of entreaty Mr. Beach I object to that answer. Jndge Neiison Let it stand.

Mr. Beach I exoept. Mj. Evarta q. Now, when did Mr.

Tilton come oui won pittce a oiua room Jndge Neiison They oan in that view. Mr. Evarts Tint is all I asked. I began by asking her if ahe observed any effect npon this lady by thfi Mr. Morris We oblect to that Question.

Judge Neiison You can aak her to state anything she uuwiai. Mr. Evarts I did. Judge Neiison In other words. Did she observe anyuung, sovwnair Mr.

Evarta That la right enough. My question was vi tumt impart. Mr. Morris Your question waa not, Mr. Evarta Well, I wont wrangle with you.

Mr. Morris I dont ask you to. Mr. Evarts Nor will I get yon to wrsnrie with ma Mr. Morris I dont propose to.

I propose to make any objection I aeo proper. Mr. Evarts ha vent asked yon to make any obaerva "aw your oojuuuuii ana A nave an. Mr. Morris Your criticism and your manner will not aeier me zrom aoing n.

Mr, Evarts But 1 wished to draw a distinction between personal wrangles and objections to questions. Mr. Morris My remark was not the result of pas! aiuu. Judge Neiison The stenographer will please read tbe last question. Stenographer reads question.

Mr. Evarts Now, answer tbe question aa to whother yon observed any effect upon Mrs. Tilton of these conversations and what it was. Mr. Morris I object to the question.

Judge Neiison You may take the answer. Mr. Morris It is the same question your Honpr ruled upon. Mr. Beach By this question this witness is called npon to determine what was the effect of a certain state of circumstances upon the physical condition of this lady.

Iaubmitit Is not oompetent. It would bo entirely competent I suppose for this gentleman to prove what after this conversation was the condition of Mrs. Tilton I suppose that Is a olronmatance. Mr. Evarts That is what I asked.

Mr. Beach You asked more, I beg leave to say. If yon dont so understand it, I do. Judge Neiison Did you observe anything, and If so, what? That Is the question. Mr, Evarts Did yoa observe any effect of this conversation, and if so, what, upon Mrs.

Tilton 7 Mr. Beach That Is what I object to. Mr. Morris That is the very point your Honor has ruled upon two or three times, Mr. Beaoh and Mr.

Evarts had arisen to contest the point and looked steadily at eaoh other tor a moment and then laughed. The effoct of this was to cause great merriment in the audience. Judge Neilson lter the form of the question, Mr. Evarts Did vou observe anything in Mrs. Tilton after this conversation or that visit of Mr.

Tilton to the sickroom A. I did, yes, air. She was very much excited. Tbe Effect the Confession on Mm. Tilton.

Q. How did she show this excitement? A. She seemed nervous, restless and uneasy. q. Did you make any observation to Mr.

Tilton on the subject of the effect of it on his wife? A. Yes, sir. I told him not to talk in the room, that the doctor had told me to keep her very quiet, O. What did he say or do In reference to this obser vation of yours A. He walked out of the room and Bomenmes oonunuea to mue.

q. I am speaking now. of this one day, when he came to the house in the middle of the day. How many times during that day did yon see him in the sickroom, tuigoKeu in wu i a. i aooi rememDer.

q. Was It more than once? A. More than once: two or three times, as near as I oan recollect. q. Now, during that week, did you see Mr.

Moulton at that did you see Mr. Moulton there daring that week? A. I did. q. How many times, if you reoonect: to the best of your recollection? A.

Two or three times, as near as I oan recollect. q. In whose conmany. and where? A. In the siok room, and the noxt room.

Q. In the Bick room and the room communicating with it? A. Yes, sir. q. What time of the day or evening were these visits of TMr.

Moulton, as you remember them? A. Generally in the daytime. q. And was the conversation was there ft conversa tion between Mr. Moulton and Mr.

Tilton In this room? A. Yes, sir. q. And within the hearing of Mrs. Tilton? A.

Yes, sir. O. Waa their conversation with her? A. Part nf thA time. Conversations Between Tilton and moulton.

w. iwir.uiujuunoiriiiB conversation oerween air. Tilton and Mr. Moulton, ao far as to know on what aub was a. neii, i anow it was in conneotion wltn tne union ma using oisonargea rrom tne unton.

Q. You knew that from hearlnff their talk? A. Van sir. O. Did yon make any obfecttnn to Mr Moulton or Mr.

Tilton together on the subject of their talking thus iu iud Biun. ruum i n. ininK aia. Ana wnat aia you aay to them? A. I told them what the doctor had enjoined on me.

V. now, airs, nutoneii, were tnese visits and this talk thesubleot of attention by von nnma a. to tfcalr Af feot on Mrs. Tilton's condition of health A. Yes, sir, they were.

q. xna they affect her health and condition Mr. Morris Objected to, Mr. Evarta As yon observed? Mr. Morris Objected to.

Judge Neiison Let this lady describe anything about the state of her health, as she observed. Mr. Evarts I have not given the least indication of what it was; now Mrs. Mitchell what effect did these vhnte and conversations have npon Mrs, Tilton as you observed? Mr. Morris That" is objected to, and I do not think your Honor will allow it.

It ia an lmnroner anestion. and she ia incompetent to answer that question because she is not an expert. judge neiison Anyone is oompetent to say whether a conversation disturbs a siok person or not. nr. morns i is ine Bame question tnat was called out some time ago.

Mr. Evarts The "effect" the nroner Ennlluh wnrrl that describee tbe consequencee of an action, I hava given in evidence the action and I have shown the subjeot or sick person, and now I have asked what she ob eervea as to tne en cot or that action on that subject. Mr. Morris She could state what she observed, but whether it was produced or caused by thia conversation or not i submit it is improper. duage neiison Let tnem prove tne data nrst, Mr.

Morris It would reauire an exnert to describe the effect of these conversations. Mr. Evarts No, it would not. if a blow should bo struok, if any person should receive a severe blow, would it require an expert to show or describe the effect which was produced by that blow? Mr. Morris The question you have asked is a different one, but even in that case it would require an expert to describe the effect of the blow, the wounds and other effects of the blow.

Now she may speak of what she observed, aa to what the condition of Mrs. Tilton was after the conversation, what Bhe observed in her conduct and manner and actions, bnt as to what oausod the condition, that I submit to the Court is not proper; and your Honor has dlBtlnctly ruled on that element of the case npon excluding questions before, on the precise ground we have made objections to this question. Mr. Beach I suppose, your Honor, If one is seen to deUver a blow against the rteraan of snnthAr. that nar.

son observing could see what effect Is produced, wheth er ine person Bcrnoa leu or staggerea, Decease there the physical act is dear and the physical consequence ia observable by an ordinary witness: bnt when a witnafai is asked as to the consequence of an act which operates imperceptibly through limbs and organs which are not observable by the lay and ordinary mind, it is not oompetent to ask what effect Is produced. That conclusion ana ism juagment is a matter ox soienoe ana not one of observation. Bnt I BUnnose it to be very oomnetimt for the gentleman to ask what was the condition, what were the manifestations excited, by wordB or otherwise, what was exhibited by Mrs. Tilton daring or imme uiateiy Bacoeeaing wis conversation. Tne court (to Mr.

Evarts) That covers your ground. Ua .1, grounds. If I had asked such a question I should have bad a hundred objections. Mr. Beach I respect the gentleman's words, but that is altogether incorrect, q.

What did fou observe In respect to anxiety, disturbance, or condition of Mrs. Tilton after the presence of Mr. Tilton and Mr. Moulton A. She seemed to be very much troubled, nervous and restless.

Mr. Beach The first part of the answer is objectionable bnt it is not of such Importance as to raise a question. xne uourt no let it stana. Q. Where was the study, se It was called, in that house, and how near to the sickroom Across the hall, on the same floor.

q. Did you say anything to these gentlemen, or either of them, in regard to the stndy as the plaoa for their conferences 7 A. I did I asked them if they would not 90 to tbe study. q. ana leave tne aicaroom? a.

xcs. O. Well, what did they do? A. Well, sometimes thev went and eometimes they did not Q. Did you aay anything to Mr.

Moulton or Mr. Tli ton in regard to the dangerous condition of Mrs. Tilton? A. Yes, I told them the doctor requested me to keep her very quiet, that she was very slca. Q.

THA vnn rftnarrt her as VArv flieV A q. Did you regard the disturbance of bis as dangerous to her health Objected to. The Court The word dangerous Is too broad ae unfavorable to her health, q. As unfavorable to her health? A. Yes, sir, Q.

In what degree I Objected to. The Court I think yon have gone far enough q. I will ask this question, if your Honor please In what degree did you oonsider this disturbance of Mrs. Tilton as prejudicial to health or recovery Mr. Morris I object to the question.

The Court Baled oat Q. To what degree did yon consider this disturbance of Mrs. Tilton prejudicial to her health or perilous to her recovery The Court That question is immaterial, and the witness is Incompetent to answer it. Mr. Evarts I wish your Honor to note our exception, and it proceeds upon a principle is understood by your Honor, and not upon the mere form of question.

q.Do you remember, Mrs, Mitchell, what you did say to Mr. Tilton and Mr. Moulton, or eaoh of them, on the subjeot of Mrs. Tilton's condition, at any danger she was in A. As near as I can remember, 1 1 wanted them to go into the stndy the doctor told me to keep her quiet the precise words I do not remember.

I found her in a very weak condition; there seemed to bo some trouble, I thought, upon her mind. q. How in respeot to Mr. Fullerton (to the Court) One moment: I mova to strike that out sir. Mr.

Evarts We dont care anrthinir about it: it was her condition of health and strength. (To witness) Q. Mrs. Mitchell, what was her bodily condition of health and strength? A. Well, she seemed to have trouble upon uer minu Mr.

She waa more reduced at thia time her sickness was much more severe. q. Now, during that week now did yon look upon her condition of health as respects difficulty or danger? Mr. Fallerton We object, sir. Judae Neiison She can anBwer that without atatlntr the other weeks' condition.

Mr. Evarts (To witness.) What was her condition that very week? duage neiison mat sue cant state, Mr. Evarts (To witness.) How lone had von consid ered her as being in a critical condition? Mr, Fullerton Does your Honor think it is competent for her to express an opinion oa thia subject. She is not an expert. jar.

jsvarts now ao yon Know, riour. iruuerton.) I mm I I It how can she express an opinion upon a subjeot without an experience. Judge Neiison The condition of what is very critical. in one week might be supposed to be critical the question is whether or not the condition continued the next week. Mr.

Fullertonr I don't think tbe vltnesa is competent to say whether it was a critical nditlon, that's for a physician to say, for doctors to say and a physician is the only one competent to answer and he only. Mr. Morris We move to have that stricken out, I dont think it is material. Mr. Evarta I Mr.

Fullerton It denonds on what kind of a oavsl dan he was. A great many! could be questioned on that point, but an experienced physician judges from symptoms under his. own observation, and from them he draws his conclusions. Mr. Evarts We have the statement from this wit ness herself that she was in danger.

Mr. Fullerton I think we have not the nower. We neither ot us have studied medicine yet. Judge Neiison Yoa have both studied medicine somewhat. Mr.

Fallerton That's the reason I make this objection based upon my knowledge of that subject. Judge Neiison I think she ean say whether npon her observation of illness on the first week it continued. Mr. Fullerton well, sir. Mr.

Evarts (to the witness) Did the critical condition you have spoken of continue during the week yon were there? Mr. Fullerton Ob. that's not what tout Honor has permitted. Judge Neiison I think I would drop the Speak of the appearance Of illness or whatever it was. Mr.

Evarts (to tbe witness) Did the condition of which you have spoken aa "critical" continue through the following week Judge Neiison (to the witness) Yon may answer that. The Witness I was there bnt one week. Q. Durinir that week did it continue? A. Yas.

sfr she was very weak and feeble. O. What did She reonlra in rennAnt to a ennrilHnn nf nursing and quietness? A. She required to be kept wuns ine aoccor saia sne neeaea. q.

No, sir, I do not, q. Do yon know whether they were newspapers or 7 A. They were some kind of paper with wrltlngon them. I couldn't tell what they were because I didn't know. q.

What effect did yon observe npon Mrs. Tilton In regard to her nerves or health; produced by this visit of Mr. Tilton on this day Mr. Morris Objected to. Mr.

Evarts Does your Honor say that that evidence is not proper? (to witness) What effect did this conversation ot Mr. Tilton in the siok room produo upon Mrs. Tilton? Mr. Morris Ob leoted to. Judge Neiison I don't think His important Mr.

Evarts It la based upon the condition of her nerves. Snppoaa aha fainted away, would it not be a roper thing to prove 7 But don't use that illustra on as intimating that that was a fact. I merely say, your Honor, that tbe question Is one ot observation. Mr. Morris How is that important? Suppose she did faint away.

Mr. Evarts It shows the condition of this lady during that week, as likely to become the subject of Influences that for other people's purposes were to be operated npon her. That's what it shows. I dont understand what tho course or point of tbe objeotion is. The condition of a nerson that has been nractioed upoja is oertainly a matter of evidence, and it that person ia siok and under the charge of a nurse, why then the nurse la competent to speaa oi it, Judge Neiison She can state anything ehe saw.

Sup. Ropee wished to make a statement in regard to the CONDENSED MTT.W DTVESTIOATIOH, bnt was ruled out of order. Afterward he moved that tbe Investigating Committee be discharged, as the milk whose good qualitty was impugned had been subuiit ed to a practical chemist, and declared to be whole tome and good. Sup. Dwyer said that one of the largest dealers in oondeneed milk in New York declared that he wouldn't give one cent for five cases of the milk which was be distributed to the poor by Kings County.

Mr. Bopea told them that he had given a trial to this milk, had taken it home and tried it, but would Mr. Ropes use It for a twelve montn in ms own house 7 iie thought ho would not. The milk was purchased without the authority of the Supervisors. If it was not saleable, he would resist the payment of one cent for it.

Q. Do ou know of Mr. Tdton lecturing there? A. I do, in July, 1P72; it waa delivered before the faculty and male and female students, and ladies and gentlemen of the vicinity; tho house was full; 1 heard tho whole of the lecture; it wus fully one hour and three quarters long. In a certain aenee, it was a very able lecture.

The subject was "Marriage and Divorce." Tho title of it, however, waa "Home, Sweet Homo." He told tbem to follow nature in the formation of marital relations, not tho Iuwb of nature, but to follow nature. He said that he would not permit the State to interfere with the oimation o. this relatign betwQen the cexes, and if he was to have his 'way he would crush the State and crush the church, too. Ho said, "If any two or you love each other and vow to bo faithful to each other, that vow makes you man and wile, without the intervention of any priest or 'tato." (SeDsation) He said as they came together without any lormality ko they might separate in the seme wey, and it would be the duty of the State to take care of the children. There was somewhere between 42 and 44 female students, of all ages from 15 to '21 and 22.

The witness was being cross oxamined when the hour for adjournment waa reached. CITY CONTRACTS. 'jTlie Application lor a mandamus Against tbe Board of City Works. This morning, Justico Gilbert listened for three hours to an argument on the application by tho Oity of Brooklyn for a mandamus to compel tho Board of City WorkB to obey a resolution of the Common Counoil of January 11, requiring it to advertise for contracts for cleaning the streets. It appeared that the defendant, following a resolution of the Board of Aldermen for 1874, in November last advertised for and awarded contracts for the year 1875.

Corporation Counsel DeWltt argued that this was expressly forbidden by the law of 1866, which said "the moneya raised for one year shall not be voted or In any way appropriated by the Common Council of the preceding year, and any such vote or appropriation shall be null and void." This wis the main point, JastloeCMlbert said, and Mr. Joshua M.Van Cott, for the Board of City WorkB, argued that aa in the charter of 1873, the words referred to were omitted, the Common Counoil were thereby relieved from that restriction. Mr. De Witt read a provision of the act of 1873, which stated that all the acta and parts of acts referring to money, eta, from the act of 1873 bnt found in that of 1865 Or in other acts, should continue in full force. Justice Gilbert reserved his decision.

More Pen, Ink and Paper A Long Sitting that Resnlted in Getting the Letter from Mrs. Tilton Begging Mr. Beecher to Surrender the Retraction to Mr. Moulton. SOME SUGGESTIVE MEDICAL POINTS.

There 'was an unusually long delay in beginning the scandal trial to day. Processions prevented Messrs. Evarts and Porter from proceeding, and at 11:15 they had not arrived. Mr. Shearman opened the ball, putting Bev.

Mr. Halllday on the stand again. Mrs. Tilton waa not present. "All the rest" were looking pretty well.

Everything is of importance in this case It would seem. Anyway, before resuming his testimony, the witness rose and made a little speech, amendatory of his evidence of last night. He said he desired to do Justice to Mrs. Moulton. Last night he had said that Mrs.

Moulton showed him Mr. Beecher's portrait. Today he would add that that lady showed him other pictures too. She turned on the lights in way to bring ont the pictures. He thought this mnoh was due to Sirs.

Moulton. Sir. Halllday then sat down. At this point there was a stir in the court. General Tracy forged his way through the crowd, and was followed by a heavily bearded man, as taU and more venerable than himself.

It was Stephen Pearl Andrews, the Pantarch, and the writer on Anthromophology, Free Love, Finance, Btirpiculture and cognate topics, If the foregoing are cognate. General Tracy, under whose escort the Pantarch cams In, provided him with a very oomfortable seat. He was the observed of all observers, when It was found out who he was. As a possible witness his ability to throw light on the Woodnull social and scandal economy was conceded. He shook hands cordially with Mr.

Tilton, and heii he resumed his seat among Mr, Beeohers, friends. Mr. Andrews has been referred to In the testimony as having lectured first In Mr. Beecher's parlors and next fa Mr. TUton's parlors, years ago.

His wife is the lady whom MIbs Ann Augusta Moore said admired Mr. Tilton's fine atmosphere, and combed hia locks with her fingers. Mr. Andrews has also been referred to by Messrs. Cowley and Cooke in the testimony they flave about their curious visits to the Woodhull mansion.

They fonnd Mr. Andrews there as a sort of moral rjafer iomo. So Mr. Andrews has been surrounded with considerable interest in thia case already. If he ia going on the witness stand, and if he can get a chance to tell all he things he believes, nitre glycerine will be placid by comparison.

ME. HALLIDAt BEStTMED HIS TESTIMONY, and went through a part of an interview between himself, Mr. Tilton and Mr. Geo. A.

Bell, on November 18, 1872, that being a Uonday. Mr. Tilton avouohed his wife pure, and referred Mr. Halliday to Mr. Beecher ob a confirmatory witness.

He sold over the old figure about tho tree in front of Mr. Halliday's house having 600 flags on it, etc. Mr. Halllday further said that Mr. Tilton declared he had a grievance against Mr.

Beeoher. He referred Mr. H. to Mr. Moulton for tho papers in proof of his grievance.

He dealt" continued Mr. Halliday, "in insinuations." This Mr. Halliday waa struck out by the Court, on motion of plaintiff's lawyers. Give ns what he said," said the Judge. Before Mr.

Halliday could oomply with the Court's order, Mr. Evarts suspended his testimony, to put Mrs. Lucy M. Mitchell, a monthly nurse, on the stand. Mrs.

Mitchell is a fat, quiet, roBy old lady, enveloped in the proverbial quantity of wrought" shawl. She had to testify now or never, because the census of Plainfleld New Jersey, demands her attention. Mrs. Mitchell attended Mr. Tilton in the birth of Paul, who is dead, and of Ralph who is now sick.

The witness, with modesty and Intelligence, answered questions which minutely went into the indicia and incidents of tbe two confinements, and about half a dozen young misseSjWith fancy hats on, drank in the evidence without blushing. The report elsewhere will show how Mrs. Tilton went through two sicknesses, the events of which have no needful pertinency to this introduction. MBS. MITCHELL ALSO ATTENDED MBS.

TILTON. in her period of miscarriage in 1870, beginning on the 24th of December, Saturday. Sho testified to Mrs. Tilton's critical illness, prostration and weakness. When Mrs.

Mitchell parted oompany with her "business" and got into other matters, Mrs. Mitchell became interesting. She testified that while Mrs. Tilton was at her worst, and needed quiet and composure the most, Mr. Tilton came home in the middle hour of a day in a middle of that week, and coming into his wife's sick chamber with great vigor of manner, exclaimed that he was discharged, or would be discharged from the Union, and that he was a ruined man.

Witness said that there were writing materials in the room, and that Mr. Tliton showed his wife a number of papers. A not very dignified dispute here arose about the form of a question which should be put to the witness about the effect of Mr. Tilton's demonstration upon his wife. The question was finally put in a form to suit the plaintiff's lawyers, though Mr.

Evarts fought hard to give it a medical twist. Witness aaia Mrs. Tilton was very much excited, and cried very much. Witness told Mr. Tilton not to talk the doctor had so ordered.

Mr. Tilton persisted in talking and the nurse in objecting. As usual under auoh circumstances, the nufse won, and Mr. Tilton left the room still talking." Witness said that Mr. Tilton came back to the room several times during that day she also observed MB.

MOULTON AT THE HOUB1 TWO OB THE EE TIMES during that week he and Mr. Tilton were also In the sick room, talking, as witness knew, by the words they dropped about the Brooklyn Union. The usual wrangle then occurred between counsel about the form of a question, on Mrs. Tilton's condition, to be put to witness, the condition of the lady after and In consequence of interviews with her husband and with him and Mr. Moulton together.

Witness finally said that Mrs. Tilton was made "uncomfortable" by these interviews. She told Mr. Tliton and Mr. Moulton to go into the study for the confer ences; the doctor had told her to keep Mrs.

Tilton quiet, and she thought these scenes unfavorable to the patient's reoovery. On one occasion Mr. Tilton wanted to read to Mrs. Tilton during that week. The nurse objected, but Mr.

Tilton Bald it would do no harm. So he shut the folding doors between ihe nurse's room and his wife's room, and alone together Mr. Tilton read to his wile. Witness distinotly remembered THE FEIDAT NIGHT CALL OP M3. BBBOUEB on Mrs.

Tilton, that week. Witness opened the door for Mr. Beecher, herself, and invited him in. The night was very stormy. Witness continued to say that Mr.

Beecher went up stairs into Mrs. Tilton's room. Witness left the room and went down Btstrs with the housekeeper, Ellen Dennis. When THE WITNESS HEARD MB. BEECHEB GO OUT the door, witness went up stairs.

Mrs. Tilton was sick, in bed, when Mr. Beecher called, partially supported by pillows, but stiU in bed. Mrs Tilton went to sleep first and then witness fell into a slumber. She was wakened up by whisperings and buzzlngs round tbe bed, and Mr.

Tilton was at his wife's bedside talking to her. The nurse remonstrated against that talking. It was exhaustive to Mrs. Tilton and she would catch cold. Mr.

Tilton insisted on the nurse's leaving the room and went out for a moment to let her do so. The nurse put on her wrapper and went into the stndy. MB. TILTON AND HI8 WIT talked together in her room for an hour or more Mr. Tilton walking, and talking in an angry tone and Mrs.

Tilton In a tone of entreaty. Mr. Tilton at the expiration of an hour, came into lbs study and got some ink, pons and paper. He returned to'his wife's room end remained there balf an hour more. At the end of that time Mr.

Tilton came ont and told the nurse she could go to bed again. Witness soothed Mrs. Tilton, whom she found shattered and weeping, for over an hour, rubbing her head and pacifying her. Witness Bald that when MB. TILTON CAME HOMX In the middle of the day, and said he was ruined, Miss Betpio Turner was present in the sick room ot Mrs.

Tilton, where the wlamsUon was made. Witness was asked what was the effect on Miss Turner. Mr. Tilton's lawyers secured the ruling out of this question, oaths ground that the witness was not an expert ot mental or physical conditions, and that either condition on the part of Miss Turner was not important. The Court let the witness state what she aw without characterizing it or assigning it to causes.

The Court said that the scene waa in the presence of Mr. Tilton and that, therefore, the whole scene could be told. Wit new then Bsid THAT BESSIE TUB NEB, as Mr. Tilton exclaimed he was a ruined man, fell on the sofa aa if in a faint, and that to the beat of her knowledge sho was weeping. Witness went away on Uonday morainfr, Jaftuary 2, 1871; Mrs.

Tilton suffered from loss of blood all the week. In cross examination Mr. Tilton wis asked for the aeseription of this "I am a ruined man" scene, Wi Ten Thousand on of Erin In Iiine of March. A Splendid Turnout Tlie Harp of Tara Shedding Music Orer a Hot of Chiefs and an Unlimited Nnmbor of Bright Ladies. On tho second pago of this papor will be fonnd an account of the parade, to whioh the fallowing Is a supplement: St.

Patrick's Day of 1876 opened up brightly. For years past the rain has dampened but not quenched the enthusiasm of the processionists. Thoso who last night oonjoctured that it would be a fine day wero not disappointed, and in this respeot the boat wishes were realised. The result was thai all tho streets and avenues around the points of formation of the dlfforont divisions wore thronged with an eager and happy multitude. It is unnecessary to say that the loyal patriotism of tbe sons of Erin was extensively displayed in the shape of green neckties and ribbons, and it is equally unnecessary to add that oach wearer waa proud of hia colors.

Tho harp and.ahamroak wore everywhere predominant In a field of greon. The docoratlons woro profuse. Tho City HaU, with ita hundreds of flags and streamers, arranged with becoming and artlstlo olloct, presented a charming Bpco taolo, and all must havo nolloed the contrast bctwoon ita appearance to day and tho picturo It presented las year. Then, draggled by a misty drizzllnR rain, tho flags hung listlessly, and were awayod only by fitful gusts of wind. Even thoir oolora were almost imperceptible.

To day the brisk Maroh breoze kept tho silk folds constantly extended, and the colors were brighter and moro radiant under the tnfluonoe of a clear sky and the golden rays of the aun. Truly Mr. Tormey did his biwt. hut although ho wu not oxcelled, he had a rival in Keeper Martin, of the Court House, The huge dome of that building was almost ooverod with bunting, whilo from its highest point WAVED THE! STABS AND STBXPE8. This again waa flanked by the State and City flags.

From all the pubUo buildings tho Amorioan colors wero displayed, and vory many private residences wero decorated with the National and Irish flags ontwined. At noon the gathoring of the people in the neighborhood of tho City HaU gave a good idea of tho lmmenso oonoourae which waa about to assemble. The sidewalks around the Oity Hall, that In front of the Court House, and from thenoe along the Btreets to the starting point of tho parade, were crowded, thousands of people waiting pationtly for ovor two hours tho coming of the procession. In the meantimo, the vicinity of Bedford and Wil loughby avenues was in a stato of bustle, for hero It was that thousands of men were being drawn up in Uno of march by the Grand Marshal and his Aids. So admlrablo wero tho arrangements, and so weU did tho men oboy tho instructions given, that less than half an hour wan needed to bring order out of the seeming ohaoa, and to bring tho ontiro lino in ono unbrokon column.

Tho order to proceed hod scarcely been given whon the air was resonant with stirring IBIBH PATItlOTIO AIES, With Btendy tread, keeping timo to tho mimic, the vast ooucourso of processionists filed from Uedford avenue nto Wiilonghby, and then along the lino of march as follows: Forming on Bedford avenue to Wlllougbly, to Classon, to Myrtle, to Gold stroot, to Tillary, to Hudson avenue, to Front stroot, to Jay, to Fulton, to Joralemon, to Court to Hamilton avenue to Columbia street to Harrison street to Hioks street to Atlantlo avenuo to Tan dorbUt avonue to Paciflo street to Washington avenuo to Myrtlo avenuo, whon the grandest parade which has yet marked the colouration of St. Patrick's Day in this dty was dismissed. The societies advanced in the foUowlnij order Platoon of poUoo under tho command of tho two beet sergeants In the Department John Cain, of the Firat Preoinet, and John Eason, of the Tenth Proclnct. Grand Marshal, Alderman Daniel OUoilly and hia aids Messrs. Morris and Mr.

Donald. Then foUowcd the spoclal aids to the Grand Marshal, about a hundred in number, all mounted. In the carriages draped with the American colors and drawn by four horses, were Hon. Daniel Bradley and JusUces Thomas M. Rellly, John Delmar and Andrew Walsh.

After those came thirty divisions of the Ancient Order ot Hibernians with Mr. Peter McKeon aa Marshal. THE OICTCSBS OI THE IRISH CONTENTION in carriages, preceded the divisions. These were followed by Father Matthew T. A.

D. Society No. 1, Mr. Patrick Dolon Marshal; St. James It.

C. B. Soolety, Mr. J. H.

FarreU Marshal; St. Joseph's T. A. B. Socloty, Mr.

John It. Whalon Marshal; Lady of Viotory Society, Mr. John McDonald Marshal; St. Anthony's Sooioty, Garry Owen Benavolent Society, St. Patrick Mutual Alliance, numbering fifteen divisions, and with them tho Honor Guard, under command of Mr.

James Boylan. It is estimated that nearly ten thousand men were in lino. Tho procession on passing the City HaU was rovlewcd by his Honor the Mayor, members of the Common CouncU and the heads of the different City and County Departments. The processionists novor presontod a finer appearance, nor was thero anything that occurrnd to cause a disturbance. On tho contrary, thero was perfect harmony throughout tbe entiro line of march.

ST. PATRICK'S DAi NEW YOUK. Tho demonstration in New York, to day, was the finest that has been witnessed in many years. It is estimated that there wero twenty thousand mon in line of march. SPORTS AND PASTIMES.

Base Ball. Notes and Gossip. It was recently stated that Barnle, of the Western Club was married at Keokuk, but a telegram from Mr. Hansom denies tho report, so it appears that after all, Barnle is still out in tho cold, looking for the girl that thinks him a good catch er. Jaokson, a first rate third ball player, wUl likely strengthen the Athletle nine, unless Arnold of the New Havens, engages him.

Van Delft should secure him in time. The Boston Club wul open their now rooms in April. They wUl be in the rear of George Wright's new store. The Club will team a grand match on Fast Day with the Hartfords, under the ten men rule, that being the new role for exhibitions. The amatour association now prohibits any player from taking part in an amateur match game, who has previously belonged to a professional nine.

The Staten Island Club wUl, thia season, play a strictly amateur nine, and the result wiU bo far moro onjoy able games than they had last season. Mr. Brasher, the efficient third baseman of the Nameless nine ot 1874, will play with tho Kulckerbock ere this season, The Beookltn Club. The adjourned annual meeting of the Brooklyn Chess Club will take lace to night (Wednesday), at the chess parlor, in the lercantUe Library buUdlng. The tourney is nearly finished, the coming victors being Dr.

Society in the vicinity of Eockvillo Centre and PoarsaUs has experienced a shock, a young man named Constant Auroras had for a long timo boon keeping company with a young lady of ono of the best am Ules in tho neighborhood. Last month tho condition of the young lady was auoh that a physician would soon bo needed, and in the effort to escape a scandal she sent for promised to marry her. The ceremony was postponed three or four times, but Abrama promised aithf uUy to marry her at four o'clock yesterday He left the village on the three o'clock train, announcing hia destination to be Minnesota.

THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD COMPANY SUED. The widow of Benjamin Carmin, who was killed on the Southern Kallroad in the accident of February 30, yesterday sued the Southern Railroad Company for $5,000, in tbe Supreme Court of Queona County. Her attorney is George A. Mott. The accident happened on tho Hempstead Branch road, which connects with the main lino at VaUey Stream.

It was on the day of the great rain storm, when the tracks and embankments were washed away. The conductor of tho train had telegraphed Superintendent Barr, that the road was dangerous. Plssengors on the train had warned the conductor not to run over the road. On the six o'clock trip Barr went on the train to Hempstead, and ordered and extra trip to VaUey Stream for repairs. Whon the train reached Woodfield tho embankment was washed away to tho depth of twenty feet, and the engine and passenger car feU into the chasm.

The engine oxolodod and the car was made fragments. Tho engineor, flro man, brakeman and road master were killed. Tho conductor was badly injurod, but is recovering. For the past few days tho water has boon flowing in torronts in the vicinity of the road, and tho running of trains has been stopped. It is very doubtful If the road wUl ever be operated again by tho present company.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Last evening Wm. I. Tomtom was arrested by an officer of the Tenth Precinct, for being intoxl. cated, and was locked up in the cell.

At half past six, whUe the doorman was making his usual rounds, he found Tomtom attempting to commit Bulcfdo by hanging himself to the bars of his cell door, by moans of hia suspenders. He had not concluded the operation, and he was weU watched afterward, so that ho bad no chance to put into execution his oft repeated threat to do it again. Justice Morse sent him to Jail tor ten days, thia morning.

early hour on Monday morning the stablemen in GoUogher's Uvery establishment, comer of Court and Schermerhorn streets, were startled by tho explosion of a pistol. Before they could recover from their surprise the Bhot was oUowed by two others in rapid succession. They rushed to tho street and saw a party of weU dressed men on tho sidowalk fronting Police' Headquarters. The sound of the shots came from this direction. The men returned to the office and paid Uttle or no attention to the alarm which the discharges of the pistol had caused them, on account of it occurring at Headquarters.

A half hour afterward a low sized, red whiskered man, respectably dressed, entered the stable and asked the direction to the Hospital. He appeared to be a German. One of the men told him tho way to the place, and on hiB leaving followed him to the door. As he looked down the street he saw five men aupportlng a companion, whom they had. In their arms, going slowly toward Atlanllo avenue.

The police know nothing of the shooting. Inspector rTaddy when said that no report had been made to him. The authorities at the Hospital were questioned, bnt they aay that no person was brought to the Hospital, nor is there any one there at present suffering from a gunBhot wound. This affair is.a mystery. Inspector Waddy intends to fathom it.

Mr. Halliday I was thinking that Idld or might have done an Injustice to Mrs. Moulton, not by anything I said but by what I wanted to say or had no opportunity to say.

I said in my testimony that Mrs. Moulton directed me to Mr. Beeoher's portrait, and'that we arose and walked together to look at the portrait. While I was look at the portrait, Mrs. Moulton turned to other portraits and to lights near them, turning on the gas so that I could see the other pictures as well as Mr.

Beecher's direoting my attention especially to those pictures as pictures of great value. Leaving my attention where I did, I felt that it was due to Mrs. Moulton to state that. Judge Neilson It is very proper, sir. The direct examination of Mr.

Tilton A. After Mr. Ben had finished the object, or at least had spoken to me ot the object for which he called, he turned to go, Mr. Tilton Bald "George, dont go." Mr. Bell looked at me, though not speaking, as If Inquiring by the expression of his faco, whether he should remain.

I answered "Certainly if Mr. Tilton desires it." Do you desire me to state the conversation Q. Proceed and state the conversation A. Before Mr. Bell came in Mr.

Tilton had said about this, but I think scarcely more "Mr. Halliday, I have called at iuo rDiuib ui uiy inouu rraiia xj. uouuon, to Bp eat to you." I can't tell certainly whether he said "speak to yon," or whether he said "to contradiot the Wood hull scandal." When Mr. Bell sat down to remain at the Interview, he repeated the substance to Mr. Bell and myself again, what he had already said to me.

He commenced very deliberately and continued so to speak of the scandal, saying that it waa entirely nntrue, without a shadow of truth, closing what he had to say I remember that there waa little said about this subject after he used these words "It is just as false as it would be for me to go over to New York and say that the tree in front of Mr. Halliday's house is covered with 500 flags representing all the nations of the earth," pointing with hia linger to the tree In front of the house. Q. Go on; what else ocourredf A. I can't repeat very mnoh more; those were the words that Btruok me bo particularly, or very particularly, at least, in connection with that part of his conversation; that is perhaps about everything that was said; there were other thines said that I can't reooUect; I may reoonect them, and shall be glad to do so, if I can.

Q. Was anything said by yon? A. I don't think I said a single word at this period of the conversation after Mr. Tdton had spoken very opecifl cally in regard to the Woodhull scandal. He said I can't be positive as the words, but It was equivalent to his saying, This is not all my case against Mr.

Beeoher, my wife is as pure as an angel of light." I think he added, "Aak Mr. Beecher, he will tell you she Is aa pure as gold or as pure as an angel." I am not positive, I think he added those words to the other phrase. Then he commenced a series of Insinuations againat Mr. Beecher. Q.

Well, give the substance of those? A. I cant, I cant. Mr. Morris We move to strike that out. Witness I said nothing at that stage of the conversation; there were repeated efforts on my part and Mr.

Bell's part to get them. Mr. Beach Those general declarations we object to. Mr. Shearman Is that all you have to say about that interview? A.

I have only to say that he would not specify any charges. Mr. Shearman Did you ask him to specify them? A. I did. Q.

What did you say to him en that subject A. I don't remember the language. Q. The substance A. But repeatedly I tried to get him to specify something against Mr.

Beecher. Mr, Morris I object to that. Judge Nellson Ton will have to state the conversation and the words whioh you remember If not, Btate the conversation in substance. Witness Mr. Tilton said distinctly that Mr.

Moulton had documents corroborative of all that he waa insinuating against Mr. Beecher, and referred me to Mr. Moulton, desiring me to go and see him, Moulton, or a sight of these. Mr. Bell spoke np and said, "May not go, too, with Mr.

Halliday to see Mr. Moulton Mr. Tilton said, "No, he would not see you, but he will show them to Mr. Halliday." Q. You have stated all that you now recollect of these conversations A.

All that I can recollect at this moment. Q. Was anything said about the Woodhull scandal being a fabrication A. He spoke of that aa auoh. Now, I can remember that he said in the other part of the story, while he was making these Insinuations, it waa in reference to this Woodhull story, or rather in reference to the "Life of Mrs.

He began to make an apology for writing the "Life," and said that he did that Xor the purpose of keeping Mrs. Woodhull still. Q. Was anything more said about that or the Wood hull scandal? A. I dont recollect anything else at this moment.

Q. Waa anything said as to hia surprise when it appeared? A. Yes, sir; he said that he was away campaigning In New Hampshire when that made Its appearance, and when it came to light he was utterly astounded, and that he saw Mr. Beecher on the morning of his return from New Hampshire at Frank Moulton a house, and expressed to him his surprise and his sorrow at its appearance, and offered to do anything that he could to contradict the influence or the effect of the scandal, and said in addition that he sat down and wrote, if I remember, three notes in Mr. Moulton'a library for publication, one not answering the purpose, another was written, and then another, and that that note was shown to counsel, and by their advice It never was published.

Q. He did not mention what counsel A. No, sir; I did ask him at one time, bxt be refused to give me the name of the counsel. Q. Did Mr.

Tilton in that interview In the course of what you have described, as the conversation in any way Bay ion mr. jaeecuer naa commiuea aauueryr Mr. Beach Wait a moment wait a moment. Judge Neiison Ask if ho said anything on the suojeot. Q.

Did Mr. Tilton say anything on the subject of adultery A. The word adultery was not used he spoke of an offense that Mr. Beecher had committed as a comparatively venial one. He spoke of it in this way he said if he would go down to the church and talk it over, it could be settled at once he spoke of it In such away.

Mr. Morris I object, your Honor, to the witness characterising what was said by the word "venial." I move that that be stricken out. Mr. Shearman The jury will be able to draw their own inference. Judge Nailson No, the word must be strioken out, it is not necessary to have it characterized.

Mr. Morris The remarks that he remembers that he said the offense was a venial one. Judge Neiison Well, they are stricken out, they are not necessary. Mr. Evarts Let us understand what tho words are Mr.

Morris He spoke of Mr. Beeoher's offense as a comparatively venial one. The stenographer read the answer as given above. Mr. Evarts I think it gives a correct answor to the question.

Judgo Neiison It is not necessary, it is stricken ont. Mr. Evarts I shall have to ask permission to suspend this examination for the purpose of calling Mrs. Lacy W. Mitchell, who is a nurse, and attending on the sick.

The Witness I merely said that she was Buffering and seemed to be affected by what he said, and sank down on the sofa.

Judge Neiison strike that ont. Mr. Evarts I submit that it is a proper answer. Judge Neiison The witness says, "seemed to be affected." I don't think that ft was proper. Mr.

In the manner in whioh she was affected.

Judge Neiison I understand yon to hold that Mr. Tilton was speaking, and Bessie Turner being there you ean ask what she, the witness, Baw, air. mvarta uartainly, When tne point or inquiry is nn.nB1 aMn 4 .1,, nil Db.UW UUVIUASUUtn 111 1WU1.

Mr. Beach If your Honor allows this counsel to trace the character, of Mr. TUton's oonduot by its effect npon Miss Bessie Turner, why we have naturally got to inauire In regard to her condition at the time her health; her nervous condition, Mr. Moms Her temperament Mr. Beach And how is It imnortant? is it of very mnoh oonsequenco in this case If there is any point in this Inquiry it Is as to the effect of abuse upon Mrs.

Tilton. So far' as that is indicative of the condition of Mrs. Tilton as being, as counsel intimates, the subject of the practices of others, don't see that the effect npon Miss Turner is of any consequence. But, your Honor, we have got the evidonoe upon that point. Mr.
