FRANK CARPENTER AGAIN.
Curious Revelation by a Member of
Mr. Beecher'S Family.
WAS MRS. TILTON in WANT 2
Mr.. BOwen's Opinion of
the Situation.
THE ATTITUDE OF THE PARTIES.

There was nothing particularly enltventng In the
great scandal case OF the age worthy Of record
yesterday.
The contending forces were busiy engaged in
bringing up from the rear their heavy guns and
Rettnp Them into position. The congregation Of
Mr. Beecher still continue loyal, and are using
MI the means as their command to prevent his
aswniall.
Theodore rlton remained entrenched against
interviewers In the now well known domicile No.
ia Livingston street ali day and night. He was
much occupied In the preparation OF his evidence
which will form the basis Of the complaint to be
made before the Supreme Court. Mr.. rlton feels
aggrieved at the assertion made by several Of the
journals 10 the eect that he has retailed his sor-
row 70 every person with whom he has
come in contact, and that he has been
actuated In 30 doing solely by . desire
TO bid for public notice and sympathy. This is not
10. He seeks not for notoriety AL he asks is JUS
ttce and thorough and complete vindication Of
mis- character from the charges publicly made
against him
ExJudge Morris said yesterday that he had not
yet prepared the summons and complaint in the
suit to be brought by Tnton, but he would be
ready to do so next week. The counsel would not
disclose the nature OF the complaint he purposed
making.
MoULroN's TESTIMONY POSTPONED.
Tne Chairman Of the committee, Mr.. Sage, wrote
20 Mr.. M0ulton yesterday afternoon informing
him that majority OF the committee wanted to
leave town on Saturday to-day, the time ap-
pointed for hearing his tMoulton's) statement.
M. Sage inquired whether he would be SO kind as
70 appear on Monday evening before the commit
tee. Mr.. Moulton rephed that he would be most
happy TO accommodate the committee, and would
appear on Monday evening. He Is thus afforded
more time 70 prepare MS papers, upon which he

n1ends, Mr.. and Mrs. Ovington, yesterday morn

her cniIdren. She IS N the er,oSmant Of excsuent
health and spirits, and has been engaged in the

WHEN WILL THE COMMITTEE DIssoLvEP
"A member Of the Plymouth committee said yes
teroay that there was no telling wnen they would
terminate their labors. After Mr.. Mouiton has
been examined Mr.. Beecher will read hts state
cross examined most vigorously upon every point.
HIS testimony will occupy two evenings OF the
week. The committee have suffered for the sins
OF others, truly, this midsummer, as they have
been compelled to deny themselves their accus
toned recreation at the seashore or on the noun
tatns. Mr.. Storrs has done all IN his power Il
make his fellow committeeman comfortable o.
possible ~ his mansion, No. "a Monroe place, "bu
they are not they have tns
the case, and the end is not yet.
The letter OF Rev. Dr. Storrs correcting tht
testimony given by Mrs. Tilton before the com
mittee touching her statement as to what he sale
when she informed him that her former confession
OF criminalfty was untrue has caused much com
ment The DOCTORS assertion that ne did not saJ
70 her-'1 wish l had known that q week ago
because on that letter alone believe Mr.. Beechel
70 be guilty man." Is considered strong poin
- against the correctness OF the memorX OF Mrs
nlton, which may extend to other important
matters referred to by her.
