TIE TRUE STORY" AND MR.. TiLfoNs
STATEMENT INQUIRED INTO.

r.o .as,,monv elected from Mr. TiltOn Yesterday
os documentary in its character and every step in
The vav of the redirect examination was contested
nv Mr.. Eyarts. Mr.. Fulertons first question
was used to close tho inquiry in regard to Ar.
Tilton's religious belief. and In answer the wit
ness said that he believed in the immortality OF
the soul and in the future accountability.
Section VI of Mr.. nlton's Statement containing the
sentence, "TO love is praiseworthy," etc. part OF
which was misquOted, was offered and objected to
by the defense The objection was overruled and
Mr. Fullerton was allowed to read the section, after
which the witness testified that he did not purposely
misquOte Mrs. Tilton's letter. his object being to
compliment his wife, not msrepresent her. The True
Story was then turned to- and amid the frequent
cn;;setious of Mr.. Evarts, and the consequent dis
cussions the witness was allowed to TESTIFY as 10 LIS
object in writing the True Story"
The most important discussion of the day took
place over a motion of the plaintiff to introduce
part of Mr.. Tlton's Statement" containing nrs
TiltOn's alleged confession. When Judge Nelson
allowed Mr. Tlton to testify, he ruled out confdcn-
tial communications between the witness and his
wife This excluded the confession" and Mr., Ill
toms lawyers watched closely for some
Nav to get it in, in some shape
When the defense, in the cross-ex-
animation of the plaintiff asked a question refer
ring to "Mrs TitOn's confession" the plaintiff
lawyers thought they saw chance, and 80 asked
what confession was referred to. The defense hav-
ing in q question during the cross-examinatiOn
referred to q confession. Mr.. Fullerton cOntended
that the plaintiff might find out what that eonfes-
sion was and 80 the Judge ruled after a long de-
bate But tins was only one point gained. The next
purpose was to read Mr.. Tilton's sworn statement
before the Committee, which would let in Mrs
Tilton's confession. Mr. Evarts was very persist
ent and brought every argument to bear out his
point, but the Judge decided that Mr.. Beach might
continue to read in order that he might be able to
make an exception, which the latter did, reprodu-
cling the WITH section of the Statement, the Judge
ruling it out and Mr.. Beach taking an exception.
At this point the witness Mrs. Carey, was intro
duced. After her testimony had been taken. Mr.
Fullerton attempted to find out what it was that
Mrs. Tilton maintained when. as was brought out
in the crOss-examination, the witness had said !:
"She maintained before her mother that she had
done no wrong" Mr.. Evarts objected to MIR, Til
toms testifylng what his wife had maintained" to
her mother Forty minutes OF hot debate followed
the protest and MesSrs. Beach and Fullerton gained
their point.

VI That previous the aforesaid criminal intimacy one of
the reasons which Mrs Ton alleged for her announcement OF
such exceptional from the Rev Henry Ward Beecher
was the fact had been much distressed with rlnors
against his moral purity, and wished TO convince
him that she could receive his kindness and yet resist LIS
solicitations: and that she could inspire in him,
by her purity and fidelity increased respect for the chase
dignity OF womanhood Previous TO the Auumn OF 1863 she
maintained Christian frmness towards her pastor this
position resistance refusing his amorous pleas which
were strong otrspeae in letter to her husband
dated February g. 1863 she wrote follows: To love is
prsiseworthy but abuse the gift sin Here am strong
No demonstrations or destinations could to yield
womanhood"
@ Now Mr. Tihon understand you to cay that you did
not purposey msquoe that leterf No Sir think that
must be very evident from looking at It, The object OF the

DAMASCUS HEARD FROM.

RECOVERY OF AN OLD AND HISTORIC BLADE
THAT lied BLOODY CAREER TWO CEN
4 Turtles AGO. nCa a 90 .s.FI .f.r.
A most satisfactory proof that this coun-
try had a prehistoric greatness was deposited
yesterday with Prot. Cox, for the benefit
of the archaeological archives. It is an
old sword, very rusty and minus q
hilt, but undOubtedlya genuine Damascus
blade. 1t speaks of a dim past, when mas
t0dons, Frenchmen and Span iards took turn
about in depicting red skins and roofing
around among fields and forests for the me-
cessities of li6e In Owen county there has
been a tradition from time immemorial
in the neighborhood OF Freedom
about a mysterioasly wonderful
sword supposed to, be hidden in
the trunk of an aged oak. The story went
that the legend was most firmly believed in
by the Indians, whose sUperstitions had
been worked on by some strolliDg band OF
Spaniards, snds who diligently interviewed
all the oaks in circuit OF ten lies, hoping
that it might turn out that the sword, when
discovered, would either be found TO posses
remarkable properties, or else to point, like
a needle, to some hidden heap OF wealth.
The oak in question was known TO be To-
Gated OH a bluff above White river, and the
sword had been dropped into its hollow
heart through knot hole some twenty feet
from the ground. For many years the
search was Kept up, and the tradition passed
down from father 10 son, bat never had the
slightest
TRACE oE' THE RELIC
been seen. In July last, however, John
A. Phipps had 1t revealed to his inner con-
seriousness, while he was ploughing a field in
that immediate neighborhood, that it would
be the thing tor him to investigate the re-
cesses of an old oak which had deposited its
trunk in the ground and allowed il to go to
inglorious rot. He did go. Tearing away
the decsyed bark and reaching the core OF
the tree, imagine his surprise to find the
sword OF antiquity which bad worried the
denizens of that district for many genera
tions. The sword bears date of 1640,
and as much of the inscription
as can be deciphered, reads as fol-
lows: "No-Me-Salves-Si Sin -ason"-the first
letters of the last word being erased beyond
redemption, even by steam doctor. Va
rious attempts have been made to solve the
riddle, but the most plausible one suggests
reading, NOsce me, sally es sine, ETC., which.
being translated, means "Know me- (that Is
| trust me) and you are safe without'-some-
| thing to be imagined. Mr.. Phipps, no
did not happen to own the land on which
he was ploughing, outraged all rules o.
Archaeological propriety, by grinding up the
venerable sword into corn cutter, till he
was prevailed upon by Prof. Corbett Il

A DELAWARE DUEL.

PHILADELPHIA JOURNALISTS WHO GOT UP

A special telegram to the Cincinnati Com
mercial says that Col. James +. Keegan,
formerly of the Union army, and Capt. r.

tile meeting at Edgmoor, a village near
Wilmington, Delaware. this morning. On
Saturday evening the two ex-officers, who
were old enemies, met in a saloon in this
city. They had dispute about a mutual
acquaintance "a femsle), which resulted In
blows, and an attempt on the part OF one of
the mbatants to use knife. A challenge
was sent TO Bayler yesterday morning, and
was promptly accepted. The hour fixed for
the meeting was III o'clock to-day; the wea-
pons, Smith 81 Wesson's revolvers, at dis.

him. Another gentleman, an acquaintance
of both parties, was in the carriage with
