New York Central was exceptionally
weak in late dealings and declined from

the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Erie

from the upper coal region indicate con-

places where the miners have shown Il
disposition to resume work threats and
coffin notices have been posted about the
mines us u warning. y large p inch
wire rope used for drawing coal by the
Philadelphia and Reading Company over
the Gordon Planes was cut in five places,
compelling the suspension of coal ship
meuts from Shamoliin AMI points above
for day. 4 large number of special
policemen from Reading passed over the

Bowen Contradicts Beechcr.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The Brooklyn
Arg,u says of Bowcn's testimony: Mr..
Bowen contradcts Mr.. Beecher on two
OF the most vital points Of the case.
Which is right must be determined by
sustaining witnesses. If we remember
correctly, Beecher explained his grief
and letters by his conviction that he had
done Titon an injnry by advising Mrs.
Tilton to separate from him, and by his
advice to Bowen by which Tilton lost
his editorial position. Now, Bowen
swears that Tilton had been discharged
from his editorial position prior to any
conversation on the subject with Beecher,
and that Beecher did not advise him to
discharge Tllton. Mr.. Bowen also swearS
that the payment of $1,000 by him to
Tiiton had nothing whatever TO do with
the settlement of the scandal difficulties.
The defense set up the theory that Tilton
wruug that money out of Bowen by
,br.otrninr TO publish the scandal.
