LIVELY SCENE IN COURT.
Il. z. Carson and J. C. Riley Engage in
Game Of Fisticuiis.

Something not down On the calendar d
the Courts occurred shortly after O'Clock
this afternoon in Room No 4, Court Of
Common Pleas, where Judge Loagwortii
was sitting in special session. The case I'M
der consideration, or more properly speak
ing, the one on trial was the settlement al
the affairs of the late firm of E. T. Carson
& Co.
There is at present we believe a firm af
the same name, but the suit referred TO was
regarding the partnership of L. T. Carson
and John c. Riley, the former all Ex-Con-
missioner of the Police and the latter q
member of the new Board of Aldermen.
Just how the difficulty originated is mol
known, but sufficient has leaked out Va
justify the assertion that the melee was the
result of charges and counter-charges of con.
ruption in Office.
At any rate, while the Court was in ses.
sion, sharp words were exchanged between
Carson and Riley; when the former, risi.g
from his seat struck Mr. Riley, knocking
MIN down. He then went for him, buf
before any further damage was done the by.
ISLANDERS separated tle heiIigerents. ,,is.s-,,.
Judge i4ongworth, having raped for OF
der, ordered Mr.. Carson under arrest ana
sent him to Jail, at the same time request
ing Mr. Isaac M. Jordan, the weII-kn0wa
attorney as an officer of the Court to dIx1
up charges of contempt of Court against
Carson. This Mr.. Jordan did, and the casa
was set for hearing at9L o'clock tomorrow
morning. ..
Mr.. Carson, after remainingin the County
Jail for short time, was released on bontss
for his appearance for trial tomorrow morn.

MONTREAL, April 19.--Gen. Smalley, the
Receiver of the National Insurance Com
pany, and Trustee for number of impor-
tant estates in New York, is now stopping
at the Windsor Hotel under the assumed
name OF R. G. Henry. The General is a
man of very gentlemanly bearing, about
fifty years of age, with black mustache and
beard He has been here over fortnight,
and has been living very fast and indulging
freely in drink. He met your representa-
tive in very frank spirit, and admitted
that he was the missing man. He accounted
for his disappearing from New York by the
pressure brought to bear upon him by po-
litical opponents, who had been harrassing
denied being defaulter, but admitted
being in debt He said, however, that the
commission due upon 81, 100000 bonds and
other securities lodged in the Mercantile
Safe Deposit Company, New York, would
more than pay all his liabilities. He had
not qualified he remarked, for the receiver
ship of the National Insurance Company,
and did not owe it anything.
With respect to the Clairmont Savings
Bank Receiyership, the bonds and securi-
ties he held were lodged in the Park Bank
Safe Deposit Company He was the Receiver
of the Chicago, Saginaw & Canada Railroad,
and the $4,000, 900 of bonds which he said
we're lodged in the Mercantile Safe Deposit
Company belong to that Receiycrship. He
denied in the most emphatic manner that
he had meddled with the funds of any of
the estates for which he was trustee He
assured your representative that he was
simply off on spree, and that as soon as he
got through, which would not be for three
or four weeks yet, he would return to New
York and set all matters straight. He took
the train west last night, stating that lie in

BEECEIER-TILTON~
They Have Something to Say to the
,,s.a....-. Public.
'atlonal Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star
ST.. PAUL, MINI, April 19.-Theodore
Tilton. publishes card in the Globe this
morning, in which he says the letter Of Mrs
Tilton was as great surprise to him as to
the public. He had nothing to do with its
preparation, origination or publication. He
also says no overtures for reconciliation
have been made by himself, by Mrs. Tilton,
or by his daughters. He says all the state
ments about Mrs. Tilton going to Europe
with him, and about family reconciliation
on his return are unqualiiedly false; that
he has purchased his ticket for Europe, and
will sail as soon as his lecture season closes
and spend all the time he can spare with
his daughters in Germany.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April 19.--Mr. Beecher
lectured at Avon to crowded house. In
an interview with reporter he said he was
glad the scandal had been revived, for this
will end the matter. He read to the Ie-
porter telegrams.from all parts OF the coun-
try assuring him that the faith of his friends
was mistaken, and the confession had fallen
fiat Mr.. Beecher said that it did not wor-
ry him at all. In an interview with a
Rochester reporter he said the confession
reminded him of the story of negro waiter
who was asked by guest if it was the sec
ond bell for breakfast that had rlng. He
answered: mo, sab, it's not dc second bel; ;
it's dc second ringin' OBJ de fust bell"
When asked what could have induced
Mrs. Tilton to write the confession, lie re-
piled with sigh, poor woman, she is the
strangest combination I ever knew. You
see her one time and you would think her
saint on earth, then at another and she is
a weak, irresponsible being and anything
but saint" Beecher says he proposes to
speak in public as long as he has anything
to say.
New York, April 19.-One of Mr. Tilton's
friends says: Mrs Tilton was impelled to
make her confession by reading sermon
preached by Mr.. Beecher at the time of the
downfall of his relative, William c. Gilman,
the burden of which was the duty of those
who ever committed any sin or crime, how
ever great or small, to confess. 1t was
very powerful sermon and made such an
on Mrs. Tilton's mind that she
was unable to find rest until she had obeyed
her old pastors injunction, and confessed
her own sin and his.
Dr. William A. Hammond gives an opin-
ion as to voluntary admissions of crime,
saying quickened conscience is often a
sign, not of guilt, but of nervous and
mental disorder.
Mr.. Beecher arrived in New York this
morning, and attends the Plymouth prayer
meeting in Brooklyn tonight
