Not Made Public.
But It Is Pretty Well Known to
the Newspapers.

Wife and n1r. DccChcr.

swerab1e.
The Committee Much Troubled, but Not
Ready to Diyu'ge the Facts.
No Accusations Nave Been Made in Re-
gard to Other Families.
The Worst Will Be Known in Forty.
eight Hours.

NEW YonK, July 20.-Tho oxcitomont over
Tilton's promised revelations ID really astonisl-
ingly great. 1t IL arnazlug how general tho love
OF scandal Is to all agos and BoxoH. Little olso
haa boon talked of in tho atreet. homes, IN:
business houses to-day, and though nothing ia
positively known Of what Tilton will roveal, his
document ia d(HcnBscd III anticipation. It is
gcnera1ly conceded that Tiiton must charge i
serious offcnso On Dccchor, or loavo Droollyn,
and ulore arc not fow who deolaro that his
going will bo accelerated by unpleaaaut dem-
oustrations Of tire citlzcna. From the
feeling 1 hive aeon manifested i think
Triton, ii ho fails to mako out a good
m,d justiAablo story, will Rimply bo scoEnod
mud summed but II he boldly chargod Auditory
on Beocher, nnd fails to substnntiate il, would
not be aurprised to SEQ him mobbcd.
ONE OF THE TWO MEN MUST Go DOWN,
and shoulu It be Boochor, his church will 70 to
ruin with him. 1t ox1ats mainly bocauso of his

independent Of otnor Congregational churches,
Bcechor and this scandal led its congregation,
aud with Beoclcr tho chuscl, will fall. do not
yet think that noochor Is doonlod but the noxt
forty eight hours will toll. Tho fooling to-day is
strongly In his favor.

Bolutely, and fighting for dear life. On tho other
hnnd, Boocher, having revealed nothing, holds
his whole power in reserve, antt when ,o docs ap-
pear before the Committee ESQ his friends say, and
az fear, for Tton's sulo), will tear Tilton's put
sonate utternnoes to tattorB with Ills cold logic and
hard facts. I am writing preliminary to tue
meeting tonight. aud before it is possible to
know whether or not Tiltou's statement can bo
had for telegrapng. Al is therefore uecca-
sar1ly conjecture i'll good part, out propose to
