1t seems to be settled that one Ol
the richest gold fields in the world has
been discovered in the heart of Ari
IONA Territory, on the line of a stream
that will furnish water enough for ir.
rigation, washing, and power
to run any number of
quartz crushing mills. The gold
bearing quartz is soft, and is very
rich in gold scales and veins. the sill
yer alloy being unusually small. Thus
far the assays indicate an average Of
over $40. 900 to the ton. Miners are
flocking to the new diggings. and dur
ing the coming summer we will prob
ably know all about the extent of the
Texas Pacific railroad, and will be rap
idly developed as soon as that railway
is completed.

MRS. TILroN's CONFESSION.

MRS. TILT0N'S CONFESSION.
At last the truth has come out,
Beecher is stripped of his sanctimo.
nious garb, and stands before the
world III all the naked hideousness of
an adrlterer. The weak partner in
his shame, Elizabeth Tilton, unable to
longer bear the terrible secret which
has been gnawing at her heartstrings
for four long years, has made an open
confession of her sin, and this morn.
ing the following card appeared in
the New York papers:
MR. Ira B. WHEELER: DEAR
SRA few weeks since, after long
months of mental anguish, l told, as
you know, few friends l had bit
terly deceived, that the charges
brought by my husband of adultery,
between myself and Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher was true, and the lie
/ had lived so well for the last four
years had been intolerable to me. That
statement l now solemnly reaffirm
and leave the truth with God to
whom | also commit myself, my chill
dren and all who most suffer. know
full we'll that explanations will be
sought by many for this acknowledge
meDt, a desire to return to my hus-
band, insanity, malice, everything
save the true and only reason-my
quickened conscience and a sense of
what is due to the cause Of truth and
justice. During the complications of
these years you have been my conf
dental friend, and therefore l address
this letter to you, authorizing and re-
questing you to secure its publication.
Signed, ELIZABETH K. TILroN.
Brooklyn, April ID. 1873.
This old Iecherous arch-hypocrite,
who has been disappearing God by
his presence in the pulpit, must now
now feel the weight of public opinion.
and the press and clergy ought, with
a unanimous voice, consign him to
everlasting infamy for all time.
Some of his long-haired friends in
New York city, knowing that this
card was to be published, teIegraphed
to him and received the following re-
ply:
WAvERLY, N. Y, April Is.
To the Editor Of the Nep York Tribune:
l confront Mrs. Iilton's confession
with an explicit and absolute denial.
The testimony to her own innocence
and to mine, which for four wears she
had made to hundreds in private and
public. before the court in writing
and orally 1 declare to be true, and
the allegations now made in contra
diction of her uniform. solemn and
unwavering statements hitherto made,
| utterly deny. 1 declare her to be
innocent of the great transgression.
[Signed. HENRY WARD BEEcHER.
Of course he would deny it, as he
has continually done since the charge
was made, but the proof is now before
the world and the "Wastes and Bur.
dens of Society" have an additional
curse.

A DRUo's WORK.
What Morphine Taken - Q Rem
ody Caused.

From the 70. LOUIS Republican.
Ephraim Foster, aged. sick and
needy, killed himself yesterday at his
home on the first floor Of M. 27I9
North Twelfth street. Years ago Mr..
Foster was the proprietor Of quit. q
prosperous leather business in this city,
and meeting reverses in that, he be-
came salesman in the large leather
house Of w. r Hazletine. There
and in other places he proved himself
not only thoroughly honest, but very
competent. He also served in this ca
pacity in other houses. About twelve
years ago daughter. on whom he
lavi>hed his affection, died, and the af.
Fiction almost destroyed his reason.
Thencefarward he was melancholy and
depressed. and his capacity for bust
ness failed him gradually. A painful
disease seized upon him. and after
long suffering he procured from an H.
linois phi sician q prescription which
afforded him great relief. He resort
ed to tins remedy from time to time,
and not until it had taken a strong
hold upon his fancy did he discover
that its main Ingredient was morphine.
The discovery came too late. and he
became addicted to the use Of the drug.
His disease retained its hold, and his
mind lost its vigor, the result being
that he became unified for work and
found employment difficult u
secure. He finally went to Mus
catine. Iowa. tn make an effort to
retrieve his fortunes there but failed,
and returned to st. Louis. Two years
ago he Was employed for time in the
po-t-office, aud losing the job he was
unable To obtain another, do what he
would. Having a wife and q daugh.
ter. now sixteen years old. to support
he made conscientious endeavor. but.
like thousands Of Others. he found no
demand for any one Of his capabilities
anywhere. His wife, by sewing.
eked out a scanty living for the fam
lily, AMI the poor old man frequently
remarked that they would get along
easier if he were out of the way.
About half past two o'clock yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Foster sat in the
front room reading paper. and her
husband lay in the next room ON a
lounge. suffering. as usual. great pain
from his disease. The folding door
between the rooms were closed. Mrs.
Foster suddenly heard a ristol->hot.
followed by heavy fall. She at once
OWNED the truth. and not daring to
look into the back room she ran out at
the front door and entered the house
Of a neighbor. Mr.. s. e. Meyers.
where she told her lorrid suspicion.
Mr.. Meyer heard the fall. but did not
hear the shot. He at once ran into
Mr.. Fosters house, and found the old
gentleman lying Oh the floor, near the
lounge gasping family. On the
lounge lay small /. X. L. pistol. A
moment later the poor old man was
dead. and the cause Of it was to be
seen in bullet hole. about one inch to
the left Of the median line, between
the sixth and seventh ribs. The ball
had evidently ranged upward into the
heart. There was no hemorrage.
The coroner arrived an hour late
and examined several witnesses. from
whom the above facts were elected.
