Alleged Attempted compromise
Denied

The rumors which have been circulated
through the New York papers concerning
q supposed settlement of the Tilton. Beech
CIR case received Saturday morning an en-.
phatic contradiction at the hands of one of
Mr.. Beecher's counsel, Hon. Ben f. Tracy.
Mr.. Tracy had heard the rumors referred
to. He positively denied that a compromise
could come from the side of his client, or
had been started or suggested by him. Mr..
Tracy said the note of issue had been filed
on his side, which lie said simply means
that Mr.. Beechcr is ready for trial. The
case is now at issue. The bill of particu-
lars has been ordered by the court and it
must be given within the time specified.
The case, so far as he was concerned would
have been ready for trial the first Monday
of the November term.
Reporter DO You think this case ever
will be tried
Gen. Tracy-I can only say that the ne
ton of the plaintiff and some things that
counsel have said during this discussion
tiers that the case will not be tried. But
that rumor, | believe, comes altogether
from the plaintiff.
Observation-Disclosures are in circulation that
Tilton will receive sum OF money and
that the case will be hushed up.
Gen. Tracy-You can rest assured that
he will receive nary red from us. There
will be no compromise by u.s. The idea
that Mr.. Beecher would consent to such a
thing is too outrageous to be believed. Mr..
Beecher personally has been ready for trial
for the last two months The only trouble
is with the counsel AS a matter of fact,
the counsel on neither side have been ready.
Both sides regard It as the most important
case in which they were ever engaged, and
for their own sake they don't want TO g
into it unprepared, as they would If the
case had gone on this month. Yet WI
should have gone to trial on Monday if il
had not been for the action of the cour
Friday, although not in condition tc
try the case satisfactorily to ourselves
Each side felt this necessity for more time
in order to do justice to the case. Justice
fifteen days 1t will take four weeks tC

Reporter-iIow will the granting of th'
order for bill Of particulars affect tn

Gen. Tracy-It is easy 10 be seen. Yol

iidayit that he has no other evidence agains

mitted to the world and Chrisiendom |
his affidavit is true there is to be nothin!
new in the trial. A good deal of what h
calls evidence would not be admitted IN
court of law. 1t looks to me as though h
thought he hadn't got anything against Mr.
Beecher that amounts TO anything.
Notwithstanding all the talk by Gen
Tracy and Beecher, and Sam Morris an,
Tilton, the impression and belief is yer.

about % years of age, went to Manchester,
N. H., in August last from Brashears Falls
Falls, N. Y, and since that time has been
employed as a domestic in the boarding
house of Mrs. Philbrick. She was taken

said she was too feeble TO rise from her
bed. AT about noon her room was visited,
but the door was locked. After short in

that she had given birth to full-grown

that she had murdered the child with q

answered his delighted looks. But just as
he got there an elderly party from the other
end Of the car waltzed up the aisle and
dropped INTO the coveted seat. The young
man approached more slowly and accostcd
the young lady. "lIow is your brother ?''
he asked as he able to get out p "Oh,
yes she said. "Will he be very badly
marked?' he continued and the old gen
tleman grew suddenly interested. "Oh,
no, said the fair deceiver, "with the cx-

Missouri has been making very bad rep
utation, the last year or two, as shclterer
of banditti. Newspaper readers will recall
several instances. within the last eighteen
months, where railroad trains have been
stopped and robbed, the most recent case
being only few days ago. IA none of
these gangs of outlaws have ever been pun
ished, and the state authorities manifest no
disposition to break them up, the travelling
public out that way is calling upon the
railroads to arm their employees, and pro-
tect passengers from robbery and violence
AS the Chicago Tribune remarks, travellers
''take risks enough of explosions, COLI
''sions, bridges, and other railroad mishaps,
without being obliged to incur the addi-
"tional risk of being robbed and murdered. "

Mary had been seen frequently late at night
sitting on his knee with her arms about his
neck, weeping What she was always cry
