AN IDIOT GIRLS SEDUCER SHoT.-Gdick-
man (Ky.) Courier, August ]. IA Mr.. Hes.
ter, fisherman, who occupies small boat
on the Missouri shore, opposite Hickman, on
Monday last shot and dangerously, if not
fatally, wounded man by the name OF
Chambeaugh. Hester used a double-barrcl
shot glln-oue load taking effect in Cham
beaug his arm, aud the other in his thigh. The
attending surgeon thinks death not certain,
unless lock,jlW follows.
The circumstances which provoked the
shooting are said to have been these: Hester
had demented, idiolic sister, " bo lived with
him. Some twelve months since Chambeaugh,
being stranger and sick, found shelter with
Hester. During his stay it is charged that he
accomplished the rum of the poor girl. At
any rate she was found encieate. Cham.
beaugh fled the country when this state OF
facts was ascertained. In due time the poor
unfortunate girl gave birth to child, the
idiot mother dying, the child surviving. On
Monday Chambeaugh, charged with this
brutal net of seduction, returned; and
against the warning of outsiders found his
way to Testers boat. Hester met him with
his double barrel shotgun and gave him the
benefit of both loads.
Hester is said TO be- clever, hard Torklng,
industrious young man, and If the state oil
facts as detailed are true, he deserves the
sympathy and approval of the entire com.
munity. The statement given is the current
report, but we suppose the facts will be
clearly brought forward on Hester's trial.

PARTICULARS or THE DISASTER.

AURORA, August 5.-The fire originated
among the cotton bales in the hinder part Of
the boat about o'clock. The boat was i'm
mediateIy turned shorcward, but became
unmanageable. The pilot thinks the tiller
rope was cut, and that the fire was the result
OF incendiarism. The boat drifted on Il
saud-bar and grounded. The flames, instead
of spreading along the lower deck, ut once
shot up to the cabins and piot-house, and
then swept across the hurricane deck.
The passengers were all aroused and the
boats lowered, and many were carried ashore,
but others, in their fright, jumped iuto the
water, and those who were not drowned
reached safe landing-pIace after drifting a
long time with the current. There were
nearly one hundred persons on board, but
what proportion of this number is actually
lost is not known.
C1ScINNATI, August 5.-No southeastern
or southwestern names are in the list of lost
by the Par. Rogers. Both boat and cargo
the latter consisting of cattle, sheep, and
hogs, besides cotton-are total loss. Inc
passenger-registcr and all the books were de-
stroyed. The boat was valued at $50, 600.

not deny him. It was the same thing when
copied and signed letters which Theodore
had prepared, and am reminded Of it. do
not know whether 1t was treacherv, but
many times he said, "You have gone to DIR.
Storrs's. and now he knows that you are
guilty." He found out that had been to
DR.. Storrs's, and he was very angry. Wit
ness here recounted the scene at her house
when Susan 4. Anthony was present, much
as published, except that she told Miss An
thony that Tilton had accused her Of adul.
terry with Air. Beecher. Not that she had
committed it.
FRANCIS D. NoULToN
reached Brooklyn at an early hour this
morning. In an interview Moulton said
that although he had heard that an invita-
ton had been sent him to appear before the
investigating committee, he had not, yet re.
ceired any invitation. He declared he was
ready and willing to go before the commit
tee if both parties requested it. He said he
bad not received letter from Mr.. Beecher
asking him to 20 before the committee to
testify.
Mr.. Moulton said, with great sincerity,
that he still adhered to the opinion expressed
to the committee that the matter should
have been compromised. He regretted the
Investigation had been commenced. He said
the committee was an cn parte affIir, and
never should have acted except with view
to effect compromise He repeated that he
had not received any official notification to
appear before the committee, although he
had received his mail regularly. But. con-
tinued Mr.. Moulton, it happens that am
here in time to testify if my evidence shall
be requested by both Beecher and Tilton.
Moulton said the course Of some of the
paper, in abusing Tilton had been ungener-
Gus and unjust. He regretted that an effort
had been made by certain parties to divert
the issue by bringing absurd charges Of in
sanity against Mr.. Tlton, and said the stories
which had been told about Tlton would not
help, and could have no effect on Mr.. Beech
er's case. lie expressed regret at the pre-
sent situation, but said the affair has now
reached such pass that all the facts must
come out.

NEW YORK LAWYERS SENT TO THg NEW
JERSEY STATES PRIsoN.-In 1865 John Gard
ner, of Essex county, n. j., died, leaving
his estate, valued at over $4,000, to his
brothers, some of whom were minors. After
q good deal Of manipulation, George Gard
ner, an adult brother, gained possession OF
the entire estate through conspiracy with
Gilbert +. and Charles Fl. Raisbeck, two
lawyers formerly of New York. Having Sc
cured possession Of the estate, the conspira-
tors quarrelled about the division Of the
SpoilS. Gardner, so it is said, received a
smaller share of it than he expected, and he
threatened to lay the whole scheme bare to
the public. In order to get rid Of him it was
resolved BY the Raisbecks to trump
up charge against him that, upon his
conviction, would send him to the
State Prison; and. in furlhersnce Of this de-
sign, a man named Davis, at their instance
and in consideration of $40 paid by them to
him, made affidavit charging that Gardner
bad offered him 500 If he would perjure
himself in his (Gardner's) interest. Armed
with this affidavit, Ralsbeck and his friends
undertook 10 procure Gardeners indictment
for subornaion of perjury. Instead, how.
ever, of indctiDg Gardner, the grand jurors
found bills for conspiracy against his would
he prosecutors. Davis turned States evidence.
R4isbeck & Brother were arrested, and after
Il long and careful trial, were convicted and
sentenced to an imprisonment Of two years
with $500 line.
