NEW YORK, August IL.

The tone of the papers this morn
ing expresses considerable disap-
pOintment over the non-procure-
ment of the key notes and dOcu-
ments presented to the Plymouth
Church committee by Moulton yes
terday, and the New Work jOurnels
have necessarily omitted the antici-
pated startling headlines which it
was expected the public would be
greeted with. There was a great
demand for newspapers this morn
ing. The occupants of cars and pas
sengers on ferry boats We're eagerly
hailing news vendors, all anxious to
take a glance at Moulton's disclos-
ures before commencing the labors
of the day. The disappointment of
searchers afterthe last developments
was palpably visible on the imme-
dlate change of cOuntenance from
a buoyant expectation to disap-
pointment took place after a no.
mentary perusal of the papers by
the anxious readers.
Moulton's statement, it is said,
will be given to the press at II
to-day, but this is doubtful unless
made public by Moulton himself. 1t
took him exactly Sc minutes to make
his disclosures hefara the eammitta-
Yesterday, AFTER wh'"" so,omn
a.. was entered into to keep
the proceedings secret for the pre-
sent. Moulton is supposed to have
prepared two statements, one cover
Ing In writing $50 pages of foolscap
and the other a shorter statement,
containing the principal points of
his first letter. Beeoher's friends
claim the statement tended to exon
crate him.
The Herald says; Moulton on
leaving StOrrs' house left a j~ubilancy
behind and had the appearance Ct
being sadder and wiser. Beecher
yesterday was closeted with three
attorneys, and 1t is understood he
is preparing a statement for imme-
diate publication. No steps were
taken yesterday in Tilton's Grim
con suit. Mrs. Triton is still out of
town. The Herald says Moulton
declined to reveal to the Committee
all facts in his possession, and it is
not probable that they will be made
public before any other than a court
of justice, even then it is doubtful.
He only submitted the documents
heretofore quoted from. He init
mated that If any attack were
made upon him, involving the idea
of the Matchmaking of Beecher on
his part or that of Tilton, he would
be constrained to publish his state
ment in full as a measure of self-de-
Tense. This statement was already
prepared, and held by Moulton for
precautionary purposes. Mean
while he has separated himself from
the principals involved in the con-
troversy, and henceforth will take
care of himself without partizan-
ship. The Tribune infers from the
committees pleased appearance
that Moulton's testimony was not
unfavOrable to Beecher. The COM
mittee meet again tonight
A special from Kingston, n. ",
says that Miss Mary L. Hurlburt,
daughter of Rev. Victor NJ. Hurl-
burt, burst q blood vessel in her
brain while singing in the choir
Sunday morning, and expired soon
after. She was singing a duet,
several notes of which are in q high
key. She sang them in q voice I'M
usually strong and clear and then
sank back in her brothers arms in
sensible, and soon died.
Christian Schefferdicker, proprie-
tor ola water sure establishment on
Twenty-secOnd street, was yesterday
held in $1,000 bail, by the coroner's
jury, for criminal negligence in the
case of a patient, who died at his es-
Enlistment on the list inst. The
name of the victim was Mrs. Potter.
The testimony showed that the pro-
prietor was a quack doctor, and he
had TO diploma, and was
entirely ignorant as to what course
of treatment was necessary,
for the patient; through the appli-
cation of wet bandages the patient
had become thoroughly water-soak-
ed. This treatment resulted in ul-
cers and poison absorbed into the
system, and from these sores death
ensued. At the time of her death
her condition was horrible, being
delirious in consequence of the alb
sorption of pOisons from these gan
grenes. The jury recommended the
board of health to see that such in
stitutes are not allowed, except I'M
der the supervision of properly ed
ucat,d men.
