TiltOn's Last Statement.--What IL
Thought Of It in New York.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
New YORK, September 20.-All fair
minded men who have read MIR. Tifton's
last statement, no matter what their lean.
iDgs, acquiesce in believing 1t to be an
absolute conviction of Bsecher, and there
are very lew who will not acknowledge
that the document is an obstacle to the
preachers future prosperity, which there
is nothing that can remove and very lit.
Ito that can affect. 1t has been said that
most people were glutted with the details
Of this sad story. This is an error, and
your own experience in the publication
OF Friday atternoCl must sustain my as
sertion. The actors have been too long
important objective points to the public
eye. and tho unhappy effects which
Beecher's conviction must have, preclude
the possibility Of the story losing interest
No slight testimony 10 the force of Til.
toms statement is the change 1t has pro.
duced in the ITibuneS editorials, All
along 1t has denounced Tilton unquah-
tiedly, and has taken great pains to let
the public know that 1t rather inclined TO
believe in Mr.. Beecher's innocence, and
certainly hopes he can prove 1t. Now, it
frankly says that Mr. Beecher is pressed
to the wall, and is pretty likely TO be kept
there. As yet, there has been only one
response in any way whatsoever 10 the
statement. This was made at the solici.
tation oi q newspaper reporter, by Will
liam Q. Kingsley, who says that he
didinot offer MIR. Tilton 5000 to with
hold the statement to the Investigating
Committee, and adds that he is ready 10
swear to this under oath. However, no.
body who knows the men would think OF
taking Contractor Kingsleys word
against Theodore Tilton's. Gen. Tracy,
with his usualipompous verboseness says
there is nothing worth noticing in the
story.
Nothing is known Of what action, II
any, Mr.. Beecher will take on the state.
ment. The belief Is common that he will
await the hearing OF the case in court be.
fore referring to 1t:
The capiss ad respondendum in the suit
OF Edna Dean Proctor has not yet been
served on Moulton, but probably will be
served today, as he was expected back
yesterday. He has been away on the
business Of his firm.
In an interview, as published in a Sun
day newspaper whose regard for the truth
is not as great as 1t might be, Victoria
Woodruff is made to say, II have kept Q
correct and complete record Of all thil
business, and l intend publishing state

reply will be ready in short time. She

We had an interesting conversation
last evening with prominent iron man
ulsc!urer from Ironton, Ohio. He tells US
that they are making iron in that region
at a price not exceeding $25 per ton
counting everything, including wear and
tear, interest on the capital employed, and
oil contingencies. 1t is probable from
what he says, that they are really making
iron for something less than $25, but as he
is a careful man he does not so assert.
Two tons and q half Of the native
ore used down there will make q ION Of
metal, and this ore costs not over "a 90
per ton. Seventy bushels Of raw coal will
smclt it and coal costs s cents per bushel
A dollars worth Of lime will flux it, and
the labor Is counted at three dollars per
ton. All this makes an aggregate oil only
$40 60, which certainly leaves q large
margin for interest, wear and tear, con-
tingencies, &c, counting the cost at $25.
The gentleman referred 10 takes mod.
erately hopeful view Of the prospects for
iron. He has seen the ups and downs OF the
trade throughout a series Of years and
looks upon the present depression as one
of the usual and inevitable reverses that
must needs come every decade or So
The wedding out process is going on, he
says; weak concerns are stopping and
must stop; and thus the..market will slowly
rectify itself. By and by land before long,
too) the railroads will be in the market
for iron. They have been economizing and
wearing out. They must buy iron at an
early day, and thus, when the demand
comes, we may see pretty lively times in
themarket. This is not the first time that
iron has sold down below its cost. The
gentleman referred to has known 1t, many
years ago, to sell at $l7 or $1s when 1t
cost SEQ. Metaphorically speaking, the
contractility and expansibility of iron
are very great Like the Western orator,
it can jump higher and fall flAttsr than
all competitors. 1t acts and reacts under
the great law Of equivalent forces. HAv.
Ing gone very high in 1879 1t has gone
correspondingly low in 1874 In Egypt
they had their seven years of plenty and
then their seven years Of famine. And in
that case, as in this iron age, the latter
end Of the performance was prone 10
swallow up the first end. This fact Ia
the iron that enters the souls OF the iron
men justnow. They feel swallowed up, a.
1t were. Like the children Of Israel, they
arc wont TO inquire Of each other "What L
the cause that the former days were bet
ter than thesef" But they should no,
feel this way. They should indulge more
in campaign literature and less in gloomy
retrospection, and learn to sing that sopp
commencing
"Liit up your oyeS despondIng freemou.
Fling 10 the Winds your needless fearS,
Have tho faith pt him who TceksnS
The coming again Of golden years."

RAILROAD BONDS - Strong, with a
slight advance in Pacifcs.
SToCKs-Speculation for o rise con-
tinued strong today, with an advance in
prices of from TO st per cent. The
greatest Improvement was in Harlem,
which rose from 1865 to 1871. Union Pa
ciflc advanced from 3GE to 81 and Lake
Shore from 76s TO ut; Western Union
rose to 70 and New York Central to 1Olz 1.
Many capitalists who can not employ
their money on call at better than 2aS per
cent are buying New York Central, Rock
Island, Delaware, L2Ckawsnna & West
ern, New Jersey Central, and other divi.
dend'paying shares. The strength i'm
parted to the market by these purchases
Is naturally felt in the entire list. Rock
Island advanced to 1929, Delaware, Lack.
awanna & Western to 1908, New Jer-
sey Central TO 10G, and Panama to

started upwards to-day. Cleveland, Col.

belief that the October interest on bonds
would be paid. Ohio rose to 26g, Allan
