days alter Til on was about to call on
Beeche;, when Bowen threatened him
with immediate discharge if he related to
Beecher what he (Bowen) had said about
Beecher's adulteries. Tilton refused to be
coercad to silence and Bowen did dis
charge him. Subsequently, being the 30th
of December, 1870, occurred the interview
between Tilton and Beecher and the pro-
duction of MS. Tilton's confession Of the
intercourse between her and Mr.. Beschcr
a. made to her husband i'll July prcce,i-
ing. The next morning Tilton came to
Moulton and told him Of Beecher's having
obtained a recantation Of the confession
from Mrs. Tilton when hc :y>nt to her the
evening before to I,, confirmed in the fact
Of her having made the confess ION. Til
ton was angry and would have exposed
the whole bat Moulton volunteered to and
did recover the recantation and effected a
truce betweeE the parties. In describing:
his interview with Beechrr on this occa
sion Moulton quotes himself as speaking
to Beecher Of his criminal intercourse with
Ms. Til1on, and that Beecher told, ming
led with sorrow and grief, the fact Of his
sexual relations with her. From this point
the narrative is carried forward with
constant succession Of quotations from.
documents in Moulton's possession, and at
every turn OF the affair, different phase
is put upon it from the coloring Of Beech
er's statement
MONDAY, Aug. 244-The associated press
report as yet contains but little else be-
side the conclusion Of Moulton's long
statement concerning the Beecher- Tilton
affair. The sum and substance of the
whole is, that though long aud frequent
correspondence and many endeavors to
keep the whole affair from the public,
Beecher never denied but often conceded
the main charge against him; while Mrs.
Tilton from first to last, lied and prevari-
Gated and plead her weakness as a cause
why she could not tell the truth, but did
not once, to Moulton, deny her original
confession Of criminal intimacy with
Beecher. The church committee has also
allowed the publication of the testimony
OF Bessie, the adopted daughter of the
Tiltons, to the effect that Mr.. Tilton mis-
used his wife and that twice he made
grossly improper advances to Miss Bessie.
The money advanced by Beecher Mr.. Moul-
ton accounts for as having been expended
by. him and Mrs. Tilton for Bessie's educa-
ton, and as having been paid by him to
Tilton's publisher to sustain the Golden
Age. Beecher, it is said, will now SUE:
both Moulton and Tilton for libel, and the
papers in Tilton's suit against Beecher
were served Saturday. Tilton claims
100000 damages on account of alleged
criminal cohabitation and conversation
with Mrs. Tilton.'' 1t is reported, also,
that Tilton is to commence suit for libel
against the World and Tribune, OF New
York, and tlAe E ssle, of Brooklyn.

South BEND, Ind, August 24.-At
4:30 o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the paint rooms of the
mammoth wagon mandatory of the
Studebaker Bros, resulting in loss OF
100000. These works were erected
Immediately after the burning of their
small shops on June II, 1872, when
they lost about $4,000. The flames
spread rapidly, and owing to the great
size of the buildings the fire department
was unable to get the fire under imme.
date control, but finally turned atten.
tion to where the buildings connected
with the one erected four years ago, and
there stopped it. In this
latter building was -. the main
part Of the machinery, which was all
removed and saved from damage by
water even. The heat:was SO. intense
that the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern freight and passenger dePots were
in danger. The trains were delayed in
passing for some four hours. There
was no air stirring and the flames shot
up straight in the air, SO that the many
buildings in. the immediate vicinity
were saved. Floating cinders fell
over = mile away. The works con.
