ter, and accompanied tho bag to Avon, see-
ing it safely taken inside the store where the
Avon Office is kept. Then, calling around at
the Atoms, he made himself known to the
old gentleman, and told what he had done
and was doing. The mail did not arrive at
Avon until late in the evening, and the next
morning the father of the prosecuted young
lady went to the Office and returned with the
mail, but the Captains efusion was not
with it.
With feeling that the end of disagree
able job was near at hand, the captain went
to the Office and arrested the young man,
telling him to produce Immediately the let
ter he had taken the night before.
'What letter." asked the young man.
SIhe one you took addressed to Miss Al
ton," said the detective.
II took! Ididn't take any letter. Why, I
wasn't in the Office at all when the mail ar
rived"
81 know that, sir; but you know where
that letter is, and you must produce it I'M
mediately."
s But, with all that could be said and done,
the young man remained perfectly stubborn
and hrm, and a search of the entire store
failed to bring to light the lost billet-doux.
Burckart was, nevertheless, arrested and
brought to Cleveland, and the case continued
Tor time. This was more than month
ago. and, when the young man returned
home, having been confined here in Jail for
a few days, his conviction seemed quite ini-
probable. But, the next day after his arri-
val, the letter, with its contents, was found
upon the sidewalk; and, when the examina-
ton was had before United States Commis
sioner White, in this city, it was thought that
the testimony was sufficient to justify his
being held in bail to appear at the next term

New York Tribune, March %.
The scandal-monger has again been busy
with the names of Henry Ward Beecher.
Theodore Triton, and Mrs. Tilton; and un-
founded rumors have lately found their way,
by various sewers, to public attention.
Several days ago these rumors reached the
Tribune Office to the effect that Mr.. Tilton
and his wife had become reconciled, and
that Mrs. Tilton had made written con-
fession. This was coupled with the further
rumor that Samuel D. Morris, formerly MI.
'Iilton's counsel, had made certain charges
against his client. The Tribune investigated
these reports thoroughly, and discovered
that they were untrue. Mrs. Tilton declared
in brief but positive terms that she had
made no statement, proposed none, and had
not lately seen her husband, who was living
in New York, while she resided in BROOKLYN.
Mr.. Morris denied emphatically that he had
resolved to denounce Tilton. All the evil
dence obtainable contradicted the rumors
set af1oat, and, as they were scandalous az
we'll as untrue, the Tribune made no men
ton whatever of them. It only now re-
mains to be said that there is no purpose on
the part of any of the persons directly in
terested to raise again the unsavory CON
