New YORK, July Editions state
ment against his wife and Beecher is
published, and has caused great ex-
1t occupies three columns in the Her.
dld and, if not disproved, is utterly
damning in its character. Tilton
ressing his wife; that he came home
Unexpectedly on one occasion and
found Beecher and his wife locked up
in the bed-chamber; that Mrs. Tilton
confessed on another occasion, that
when she called at Beecher's house for
consolation, after the loss of her little
child, she submitted to criminal inter
course with him, and that on a subse-
quent Saturday evening the act was
repeated at Tilton's house; further,
that the same kind of intercourse was
kept up for a year and a half, some
times at Beecher's house and some
times at her own, and often i'm places
where they met by appointment. TO
her husband Mrs. Tilton confessed
that she was overcome by Beecher's
plausible reasonings that the acts
which he solicited were not immoral
nor in any way dishonorable to her
self and husband. Tilton fortlties his
statement with numerous letters writ.
ten by his wife and by Beecher, which
all clearly indicate their awful guilt.
Mrs. TiltOn is reported as living with
some of Beechers friends, and it is
said they will unite in a common
statement denying all the charges
made by Tilton.

with a good demand. New wool coM-
tinues to come forward quite freely,
many fancy clips of Ohio and Penn
sylvana are bought by manufacturers
in the interior, and prices paid for the
same are higher than anything re-
ported for a long time. Combing and
delaine fleeces continue in demand;
pulled wool is steady and firm but
rather quiet; California meets with
fair demand from 40c. to AZ cents per
pound.
supplementary Fire In Chicago.
Chicago, July %. AT $3.50 this
morning a fire broke out in the upper
floors of Nos. 121 and 1913 State Street
corner of Madison, in Boyce's build
ing. Owing to a great delay in giving
the alarm, the flames had made con-
siderable progress before the fire de-
partment was on the ground. The
fire was, however, confined to the
building and was eXtinguished at s
o'clock. The first floor was occupied
by Giles Bros. & Co. as o retail Jew
elry store, and the stock was one of
the richest in the country. None of it
was saved. Hollister & Co., furniture
and carpet dealers, occupied the base
ment and all the upper floors. The
stock of Richards, Shaw & Winlow,
in an adjoining building was dam
aged to sthe extent of $4,000. The
total loss is estimated quarter of a
million.

We have been assured, says the
Southern Californian, that the intro
duction of alfalfa on our low lands is
destined to prove the greatest dsin-
fectant of the malaria so much dread
ed in our valley. Alfalfa will grow
anywhere on Kern Island, and it
smothers out all wild vegetation. Our
sloughs are to be dried up and the
waters thrown into channels, which
will carry it off and leave no more
green frog-ponds. Old slough-bed
are to be seeded in alfalfa. This is
the programme adopted for the future.
