MouIton Gets After Beecher with n
. .s Pistol.
Toa friend and acquaintance of Mr..
Tilton's and Mr.. Bcecher's for many
Years, is attributed the following story
made public this morning: II know Mr.
Tilton told me that Mr.. Moulton having
learned that Mr.. Beecher had got posses
sion Of the paper which Mr.. Tilton wrote
clearing, him Of wrong doing, went to Mr.
Beechers house to get it, don't know
positively whether he used threats, but
know he went with u pistol in his
pocket prepared to get that paper by
threats, if necessary. | know he came
away with the paper in his possession
Mr.. Tilton told me so at the time.

cackling to lay this egg his statement,
and used rs preteSt in the investigat-
ing Committee, is in nv Judgment avery
poor substitute for legal proceedings. |
look upon it Us e.cpdrte proceeding. Mr.
Beecher selects men who compose it; its
verdict, whatever it is. will not be salts
factory to the public unless the public
have evidence that satisfies them quite
Independently of the Committee. Per-
sonally, / might feel inclined to accept
their verdict, but the world looks for Il
judgment authoritative and final. feel
no especial sympath yfor Theodore Tilton
and feel the greatest reluctance To with
draw my confidence in Mr.. Beecher.

Railroad 10 Default.
The Post will contain the following
this afternoon: The Columbus. Chi
cago and Indiana Central Railroad Com
pany is to-day III default on the interest
due August lSt, on the general second
mortgage bonds, amounting to $5,OOO,-
/ 900. This road is leased for ninety-nin"
wears by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.,
which gives three per cent Of the gross
receipts of the road, and guarantees that
! the road shall have enough in excess Of
three per cent if that is insufficient. I"
pay the interest on the tl5,S30,OOO tiH,t
and second special mortgage bonds of
, tire {. &. X |. &. railroad. The Penn
Sclvania Company does not guarantee the
! interest on the second mortgage bonds.
on which there is to-day a default, al-
! though in past wears they have always
/ furnished the money necessary for
! interest on these bonds. The terms of
the general second mortgages permits
lapse of six months in interest payments
before legal proceedings to for"clooe that
mortgage can bc taken. The Pcnnsyl-
vana Railroad Company, according I"
their last statement, own about s2OOO-
900 of general second mortgage. They
can either buy or control enough Of these
bonds to forcclose the mortgage at the
! expiration of six months. which would
rive them possession of the road. and
would keep out all jugior securities, or
! they can pay interest and continue t.
operate the road under lease rs at pres
