What Moulton Says About 1t.

\ A representative of the Review had an
interview last night with Frank Moul.
ton, as he was en- route to Narfagan-
sett.
"What do you think about the re.
sultw quoth the journalist.
81 think this," he said, "that there's a
pretty square issue between Henry
Ward Beecher and myself. One or the
other is perjurer, and ought to be in a
perjurer's cell i'll the State Prison."
''rhat's question you think insult,
GENTLY decided by the late disagree.
mentr queried the. interviewer.
at is a question intend to have de-
cided before l die" replied Moulton
with a dark frown. 81 have been to
the District Attorneys Office to chal.
lenge an Indictment, and, am afraid,
without any prospect of it. Last night
Beecher stood IN the only pulpit he can
occupy in America. He will stand in it
again tomorrow. But, II live and he
livessanother year,one OF us will be con-
victed perjurer and occupy a perjurer's
cell. Tilton's struggle with Beecher was,
his own - not mine. He bad to contend
with great obstacles. He had.condonedl
his wife's fault, and in this world such
magnaninlty is shameful. The conse.
quence was that all his witnesses suf,

head foremost. When she was picked
up blood was profusely oozing from a
large wound on the side of Der head.

NEW YORK, July ia case has just

proceedings holds that the Sundry Civil

increasing the postage was inserted,
was not a bill for raising the revenue,

The Sight Of One Eye Improved by the Cutting
Out of the Other

Aaron Shute, OF Brooklyn, who was
thought to have been fatally shot by
burglar nearly month ago, is recover
Ing. One of the bullets entered three
inches under the lett ear, another on the
right.side of the neck, and third close
TO the lobe Of the lett ear. Soon after
the burglars escaped from the house Mr..
Snute vomited large quantities of blood,
and the physicians pronounced the case
fatal and refused to do anything. But
through Mrs. Shute's entreaties one OF
them gave her husband dose of ice
water and the bleeding was stopped.
The wounds were not dressed until
seven the next evening, the physicians
declining to give useless pain to, as they
thought, dying man.
On Saturday Mr.. Shute's right eve was
taken out. Exactly in the center OF the
eye-ball was small bullet. The bullet
tnat entered under the left ear broke of
and carried before it a splinter from the
spinal column about the size OF pea.
This bone was afterward found by the
side of the bed. The second bullet, that
grazed the lobe Of the lett ear, went OBJ
liquely under the left eye and lodged be-
hind the pupil Of the right eye.
Since the removal of his right eye Mr..
Shute has almost recovered his health,
and has been able to see much better
with his left eye, which had long been
near-sighted. n

Lieutenant Birnbaum, of the Cum
minsville Station, and Officer Logan thi
morning escorted two notorious New
York thieves, George Brown and John
Woods, to Weingartners photograph
gallery on Sixth and Central avenue t.
have their pictures taken. They wers
arrested Yesterday evening and lodged
in the Ninth-street Station. The prison

and Brown attacked Lieutenant Birn
baum and severely injured his hand
Brown could only be overcome by force
and Birnbaum did not hold back In deak
ing his ugly customer some severe blows,
and ended the afiray by knocking him to
the floor. Officer Logan was also sci
upon by Woods, but by quick and adroit
management he soon quieted him effectu
ally, and by putting him in irons pre-
vented further trouble. f
The two officers then forced Brown Il
remain quiet till his photograph wal
taken. The same thing was done witt
Woods, who relinquished himself to hii
tate. The two men are dangerous chan
acters, and had they not been taken,
some of our citizens would soon have
fallen victims to their games. They are
both men Of great muscle, and 1t would
be dangerous to have an encounter witt
them. Had it not been for the Lightning
agility of the two officers, Brown and
Woods would have made good their es,
cape to-day. The pictures were taken
to Colonel Snelbaker's Office, and now
adorn the "Rogues' Gallery"

Canadion Crops.

MONTREAL, July 17.-An elaborate
statement is published, showing the
present condition and prospects of the
crops in the Provinces OF Quebec and
Ontario. The frosty weather has in
flicted considerable damage on winter
wheat in some districts, and it is consid-
erably below the average in both Prov
inces. Spring wheat will be an average
crop. Coarse grains give evidence of
satisfactory results in both Provinces.
The yield will be doubtless below the
average, but, upon the whole, fair har-
vest may be counted upon, which will
help to counterbalance the effect of exist
ing business depression.
