furnishes the following: "The Beecher
investigating committee was In session
this evening, and was again met by Mr..
Tilton, who is said to have expressed
himself exceedingly sad that this un-
fortunate affair had been bruited to the
world. Otherwise the session was un-
eventful. 1t is expected that many
other witnesses will De examined, and
that report will not be made for some
days later. In the evening General
Tracey visited Mrs. Iilton, and he sub
had a conversation with Hem
~ NJ. Cleveland, who, with Thomas
Shearman and General Tracey, after
ward called at Mr.. Beecher's residence.
Mr.. Beecher soon after arrived from
Peekskill, and the conversation lasted
till half-past eight O'Clock, when the
gentlemen named separated, General
Tracey going to Mr.. Ovlngton's house.
At the latter hour, Mrs. Beecher called
on Mrs. Tilton, while Mr.. Beecher re-
msined at home, receiving calls from
friends. The committee scattered, hav.
ing decided to hold no eveningssession.
A Tribune reporter has interviewed Mr..

explain all the correspond
ence between them, and ali other mat

We continue, as follows, the import

Theodore Tilton, the letters in this

think, conclusive of the guilt of Mr..

statement complete in our WEEKLY, to
be published on Tuesday next.
Mr.. MoultoD, on the same day, asked
Tilton If he would permit Beecher to
address q letter to Mrs. Tilton. Tilton
replied IN affirmation, whereupon Mr..
B eecher wrote as follows:

ST. STEPHENS CHURCH.

Gorgeous Decorations-Grand Ceremo-
nies-An Immense Congrcgation-Ser-
mon by Rev. DR.. McGlynn.
The transition Of the Catholic Church from the
mourning and plaintive songs OF Holy Week to the
gladsomeness and pRans OF triumph OF Easter
Sunday Is, perhaps, the most soemnly impressive
among the ceremonies OF that ancient Church. In
no church In this city were the simple yet sad
ceremonies or 'Passion Weekn observed with
greater strictness than in st. Stephens, and in
church were the iupilant ceremonials OF yester-
day carried out with greater pomp and grandeur.
The decorations were on q scale OF unprece-
dented magnlncence. The beautiful Gothic mar
BILE atars reflected on their chaste and polished
surfaces the countless lights which illumined the
sanctuary, and displayed In all the richness OF
natures colorings the volets and lilies and roses
and camcllas which the pious hands OF holy souls
had wrought into designs symbolic OF the triumph
OF the Crucided. The pinnacle OF the high altar
was surmounted by crowned cross formed OF
Drilllant gas JETS and high up the tabernacle
foated IN mid air beautiful dove.
Long before the services began the church was
crowded TO its fullest capacity, every foot OF
the standing room being occupied, and thousands
had to be refused admission. Many OF the dsap-
pointed patiently STOOD on the sidewalk and lis
tened to the grand music OF fiadyn's Imperial
Mass No. 8. The choir, under the guidance OF Mr..
Danforth ana Mr. Neuendorn, renoeIed the music
in fine style. In the "ulorIa" the singing Of Nine.
Bredelli was heard to unusual advantage. The
"Kyrie," with full chorus and orchestral accom-:
paniment, was very creditable. The "Qui Toiiisn
q Dasso solo by Signor Coleti, was grand and i'm
pressive. In the "Alleluia," duet, the voices OF
Carl Bernhard and NINE Bredei were listened to
with evident pleasure by the vast audience.
In the afternoon the church was again crowded
the occasion being the musical vespers, in which,
Mr.. ArDuckle the distinguished cornet mayer took
part. The opening aria, by De Beriot was given
with thrilling effect by Arbucke, who also PLAYED

The Easter services at the Church OF Our Lady OF

were beautifully given. In the Gloria, the duet
"Domine Deus" for soprano and alto. was finely
sung by Mrs. Corinne Moore and Miss Monica New

DaIlon, baryt0ne, and Mrs. Moore. The "Veni.

Cortada on theme OF Mercadante. the set Unum

full chorus. The other leading parts were sus-
tained by Messrs Nicholas Doyle and Z. b. Cadley,
tenors and Mr.. Joseph Quin, barytone. The music
closed with the Halleluiah chorus from the cantata
OF Neukomm.
The solemn sacrtnce OF the mass was orered by
the Rev. Father McElrOy with the Rev. Father
Joseph McNamee as deacon, and Rev. Father
