and TiIton Troubie-An Interview
with Tilton-Mouiton Declines to
Speak.
Yesterday was day OF rest to those who have
been active In the manufacture of material for
creating public opinion in reference to the
Brooklyn scandal. The members OF the lnvesti-
eating Committee, with the lawyers attached
thereto, left the city early on Saturday for the
country and the seaside. They will return day
and laborious days and nights will be spent by
these gentlemen in preparing the report for the
Examining Committee. 1t was announced yester-
day, at the Plymouth church service, that Friday
evening next the committee hope to present
their report to the Examining Committee, and II
80 1t will be arranged that 1t be read publicly
and If neediui by pressure OF large audience
from the Olivet stand in the church, adjoining the
lecture room. 1t Is, however, by no means certain
that the committee will be ready to report as
early as Friday next, and in that case the regular
Friday night prayer meeting will be held. Mr.

course of q few days for the White Noun

delight only surpassed by schoolboy
on the eve OF his vacation at the
prospect OF getting away TO the mountains where
he can luxurate IN the idleness listening to the
rustling OF the leaves of the trees watching the
night OF the birds and having truly rural rest for
the next two months, undlsturbed by "mutual
friends" or 1.-THE drst man OF the age.r The
present address OF Mrs. Tilton is among the things
not generally known For prudential reasons 1t
Is thought better to keep Mrs. Tilton in secluslOn

anxiety to see his wife. The Plymouth church
people who were seen yesterday manifested q
confidence in their pastor that indicated that
nothing which Mouton can say will ever be likely
to shake.
