day. Great damage was done to prop

NEW YonK. Aug. 23.-The Brooklyn
Eagle publishes the evidence of Tilton's
adopted daughter Bessie, given tefore
the investigating committee. She speaks
in the highest and most affectionate
terms of Mrs. Tilton as o devoted Chris
tan wife and mother and scouts the idea
of her being guilty of charges brought
against her. She declares that Tilton
used to lock his wife III room and then
scold and curse. Mrs. Tilton would
cry, and several times witness heard her
say, "why. Theodore, I do the best l
can; you know make every dollar 60
just as far as I possibly can."
He was very jealous of his wife. both
with gentlemen and ladies. I don't
think he wanted anybody to like her
particularly that Cid not show a great
liking for him. I once saw Tilton shake
his fist in his wife's face, while she was
covering before him.
Tilton appeared to think great deal
of Mrs. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.
Once the witness, on coming into the
parlor saw Susan B. sitting on Tilton's
lap. e
Witness. in reply to a question. de-
clared that Tilton tried to ruin her once,
taking her from her bed into his own
while she was asleep, and at another
time coming to her room and attempts
ing to get in her bed three times, while
Mrs. Tilton was absent.

Greek 1t pays pretty well, but the pay
dirt is only from IL to 18 inches thick

A letter dated Wrangle, August 9Th.
says: +" Some Indians brought in the
news to-day, that extensive portions of
the wreck steamer George s. Wright
have been brought into Fort Simpson
and Metalah Katlah by Indians from
an Island in Queen Charlotte Sound.
Also that there are partly constructed
cabins on the Island, which are suppos-
ed to have been put up by the survivors
who managed to reach the shore from
the wreck Thus giving evidence that
some of the Wright's people did reach
the shore, but evidently persisted from
exposure. We can learn nothing in
confirmation of this report from the
passengers by the Otter and doubt its
correctness.
By the Otter we received information
of bold outrage by the Skeena River
Indians. Campbell's train from Thomp-
son River Valley, which crossed the
Skeena River at the Kisspio ranch Is
miles above the Forks on the 5th of Au-
