No TiIlOn'S Extraordinary Influence
Over his Wife. gf-

NEw YoRK, July 30.-The Plymouth
Church Investigation Committee had ar
extra session yesterday afternoon to has
ten the conclusion Of the inquiry. The
committee are getting heartily sick at the
sluggishness Of the investigation, besides
thinking delay is injurious to complete
the Vindication Of Mr.. Beecher, who Is
said to be rapidly preparing his testimony
Tor the committee. Last evening he
walked among the trees on Columbia
Heights with his hands behind him and
his white slouch hat drawn over hiH
forehead. He takes his daily exercise In
this way, He allows no approach to the
topic Of scandal in conversation.
Mr. Overington said last evening that
Theodore Tilton had called at his house
three times since his wife's separation
from him, and begged to see her, and that
every time she refused to Gee him. Mr.
Overipgton adds; " think that his DO wer
over his wife Is so great that If she had
permitted him to see her he might have
forced her even 10 accompany him 10 his
house in Livingston street again" Mr..
Tilton's power over hiS wife is as great
In her presence to-day as II ever was, and
If he could eco her she would be Obliged
10 obey him.
Mr. Tilton spent last evening with his
counsel, and early in the evening Mrs.
Tilton sat at Mr.. Overington's piano play.

A REPoRTRR's INTERVIEW WITH MR..
A reporter OF the BROOKLYN linton
called on Mr.. Beecher at his residence last
night. The conversation between Mr..
Beecher and the reporter was oil conf
DENTAL character. Alr. Beecher while
seated at his ease talked glibly and laugh.
ed heartily at times. MIR. Beecher init.
mated TO the reporter that his friends
might rely on his discretion and his truth.
1t was enough that he had declared Til.
toms charges false foI the present. He
was prepared 10 admit that his sky was
not as clear as 1t ought to be. There were
hOzy clouds in the horizon and these dark.
ened slightly toward zenith, but tho sun
ottruth would in Its own good time burst
forth and dissipate them. He was prepar.
ing his refutatiOn Of all the charges that
had been made against him. He felt
strong in his own heart. he felt that he
had done wrong 10 no one. He might
have been inconsiderate, and even indis.
Greet. That came OF his impulsiveness.
When his story had been told, when his
plain unvarnished tale had been prepared
and given to the public, he would calmly
await whatit, and more particularly bis
true friends, had to say, and by it he was
quite prepared to stand or fall. He felt
himself innocent OF any intention to
wrong anyone, and with that feeling ever
present in his heart he was prepared 10
come boldly before the world and battle
down the army OF scsndal.moDgers.
