The morning papers contain nothing adj
ditional about the Beecher-Tlton affair, ex-
cept that the woodruff was refused adms-
sion to the committee last night that Mrs.
Tilton was examined again that Frank
Moulton will be in town to-day, but the
committee will not meet till Monday night,
when Moulton will probably again be alb
sent.
A NEW WITNESS.
The Tribune has the following ga
gentleman who has been friend and &C
quaintance of Beecher and Tilton many
years, and who says he has known the
facts IN the case for three years, was asked
yesterday what he knew about the charge
that Moulton forcibly obtained Mrs. Til
tons retracton from Beecher. lie replied
that he had it from Beecher himself at the
time, Said he, Il only know that Tilton
told me that he, Moulton, having learned
that Beecher got possession of paper
which Mrs. TiltOn wrote, clearing him of
wrong doing went to Beechcr's house to
get it. don't positively know whether he
used threats, but ] know he went with a
pistol in his pocket, prepared to get that
paper by threats if necessary. | know he
came away with the paper in his possess
sion. Mr.. Tilton told me SO at the time.
Nearly all my knowledge of these matters
was derived in the first week in January,
1871. | went to Titons house New Years
night. He was dashing off letter to
Bowen, reminding him of things he had
been saying about Beechcr. lie pushed
over the sheets to me and must have been
the first person who saw that letter. 1t was
then that he told me.

Disgraceful Affair in ssachuse tts.

BosToN, Aug. 2.
A special dispatch from Oak Bluffs to
the Advertiser says For some weeks there
has been good deal of scandal in connec-
ton with Mr.. Venson of Edgartown, and
S. X. Elliott of Worcester, who have oc-
cupied cottage in company with two
married women belonging to Edgartown.
These men have been threatened with a
coat of tar and feather and Venson fearing
trouble left the island some weeks ago.
Last night at about II o'clock party of
men went to the cottage and called out
Elliot. After considerable struggle they
forced him into wagon in which was
pot of tar and bag of feathers. Elliot
drew a revolver and fired twice, the second
shot killing Caleb Smith brother
of the two women. The report of the pis-
tol frightened the horse, which ran away
and threw the whole party from the wagon.
Elliot escaped and surrendered himself to
the authorities. Intense excitement pre-
walls here in consequence of the affair.

Saturday last at the residence of Moses j.
Perkins, the father-in-law of the deceased.

friends and acquaintance of the deceased,

edward Mills, pastor of the Baptist church;
assisted by Rev. j. Gibson johnson,
pastor of the Congregational church.
Mr. Joel NJ. Haven atced as master of
ceremonies A selection of Scriptures was

the choir feom the Congregational church,
sang that beautiful hymn "Asleep in
Jesus" Rey. Mr.. Mills then made appro-
pirate remarks upon the occasion, the
sadness which all appreciated at the time,
and the suddenness of the cause. AL
though the time was one of especial sad
ness to the bcroaved widow, yet she sor-
rowed not as one without hope. The
preacher referred to the fact that but little
more than a year ago she left this roof as
the bride of him who has thus suddenly
been snatched from life. Rev. Mr.. John
son followed with a few remarks after
which the choir sang, " In the sweet by
and by" which closed the exercises.
The pall-bearers were Mr.. NJ. j. Per-
kins, DIN Perkins, his son, Chester Parmen-
ter, cousin of the deceased, Il. p. Mussey,
G. T. Vim and Ferdinand B. Dewey, the
last two being employees in the store of
Bailey e. Parmenter.

Rutland RQilrOad.

The Central Vermont Company are
about to commence the erection of large
coal shed, on what is called the "new Rut-
land dock" near the drawbridge over the
canal, Burlington, leading into the basin.
The shed is to be sixty feet wide by some
three hundred long, to run parallel with the
track, and so close to the basin, that with
proper apparatus coal can be unloaded
from the boats into it. Several of the
engines of the company used on the Rut-
land division are to be changed from wood
to coal burners, and this shed is designed
as storage for the necessary supply of coal
to keep on hand. TO facilitate coaling up,
the coal will be deposited on platform,
close by the track, and raised as high as
the top Of the tender.

Resignation OF n Route Agent

A few days since Mr.. Gilbert ID. Milling
ton the well known route agent on the
Harlem extension railroad resigned the
position which he has so long held and ac-
ceptably performed in favor of Mr.. Henry
f. Lamb, who has received his appoint
mcnt and is now on the route receiving in
structions from Mr.. Millngton. Mr.. Lamb
has for the past six years been employed
by the North Bennington boot and shoe
company as order clerk and is fully equal
to the new position he now assumes.
Mr.. Millngton first entered the mail ser
vice as route agent on the II. 4 W.
from Rutland to Troy in 1866. lie
was transferred by request from that route
to the Harlem Extension railroad in 1869.
In 1870 he organized the mail service be-
tween Bennington and Chatham on the
Lebanon Springs railroad, and at this time
commenced regular trips between Chatham
and Rutland. He has proved faithful
and efficient public servant and was so con-
sdered by the postotlice department at
Washington. In the congressional contest
of four years ago, Mr.. Gardner and his
friends failing to defeat his father, Hon.
Norman Milington, for county Judge, en-
deavored to remove the son from the route
agency, but such was his record at Wash
ington that the department refused to make
a change. Mr.. Millington has many friends
xrbn will ,vie 10, 10 fptp
movements, as they know lie will prove
efficient and faithful in whatever position
he may occupy.
