was eagerly listened to. He contradict

the strength of the prosecution, as will
be seen by the testimony, as follows:

and put it in his pocket; asked him

gagement with Tilton, and he SAID he
could tell me something about Tilton's
family which he thought l ought to

the next day and see Mrs. Beecher.. He
said he had letters from Mrs. Tilton from
Ohio which he desired me to see, as they
contained statements OF a damaging
character.

we'll as those claiming to be well in

depends on the approaching meeting OF
the Gar and the German Emperor. No
one denies that powerful party in
Germany, comprising the entire military
element, feels that the late treaty was
too lenient, and that the indemnity paid
has already returned to French Golfers
that the possession Of Belfont by. France
is dangerous to Germany; that France is
recognizing rapidly, and will soon be
able to furnish formidable army for
any alliance with other nations; that
Germany is no richer than before the
war; her finances and social organiza-
ton can not long support the expense OF
the present armaments, and she can not
disarm in the face of France.

The East End LOCOMOTIVES Transit

An enthusiastic mass meeting was
held at Sportsmans Hall last night, to
continue the investigation Of means for
| obtaining quick and cheap transit to the
city. The Chair appointed the following
Committee Of five from each precinct OF
| the First ward to present to the Boards
| OF Aldermen and Councilmen the wishes
Of the people to secure the location of q

The Chairman suggested the appoint
ment of committee to visit the officers
Of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati Il ST. Louis
Railroad, and obtain from them a speci-
tic and definite proposition, which might
be laid before Council, and committee
OF five, namely, W. w. Sutton, j. p.
Rogers, j. ii. Redmond, j. l.. Thompson
and John Kilgour, was appointed.
Mr.. John Johnston made remarks on
the progress that would be made by al
lowing the Little Miami Railroad TWO
tracks In the city limits, as it would at
tract population and increase the value
OF property. There was no question but
that, il the Little Miami Railroad could
run cars to Main street, or, at least, to
the Public Landing, the city Of Cincin-
natl would receive by 1t great and i'm.
mediate benefit.
Mr.. S. A. Miller made short speech,
and said he did not know what PROPOSE
| tion the Little Miami Road had made to
run hourly trains, but low fare, say,
five cents, would be to the interests Of
the public. He apprehended no opposi-
| tion by any one.
DR.. y. W. Nixon and Mr.. Thomas john
son apprehe opposition . by the

stated that the movement would destroy
navigation on the OHIO. The latter
thought that If the western limit, to
which the cars are to be run, be fixed at
Sycamore street, the fears of the steam
boat-men would be allayed and their op-
position removed. Alderman Sutton'and
Councilman Rogers made some remarks
to the same effect as the views elected
above, and they pledged their best efforts
to have the measure put through Coun-
cik
On motion, Finance and Executive
Committee OF three from each precinct
of the ward was appointed to procure
funds and attend to advertising future
meetings. The meeting then adjourned
