TILDEN CoNFEssEs,

There was dispatch yesterday which
contained the virtual admission, by the
notorious Tilden, of the truth of the most
damaging "f the charges affecting his
honor and integrity The charge is that
of pockelinG, in the re organization Of
the St Louis, Alton IL Terrc Hautc road,
one hundred thousand dollars belonging
TO the stockholders. The affair, plainly
stated, SAYS the Inter-Ocean, consisted
in the abstraction of that amount
from the assets of the company,
and, by trick in bookkeeping
OF concealing the transaction. The
whole matter was fully ventilated during
the presidential campaign, but was so
industriously denied by the literary
bureau that many people were disposed
to sci IL down rs mere campaign hun
combc. But the repayment announced
IN the dispatches. by Tilden and his AS
sociates, of the money, settles the
affair. 1t Is precisely one hundred
thousand dollars better than Mr. Tilden's
mere admission could be. IL is his adj
mission backed by precisely that amount,
which is what the telegram reports he
paid back. The cfearcSt and most com.
prehensIve suuement of the matter, per
hays. would be, thai il the amount of
the booty restored at last when no other
alternative Was left by the state and the

cessory before the fact. They are charg-
ed with killing two meashy poison. The
crime Is said TO have been committed
respectively twelve and ten years ago,
and the alleged victims were the hus-
band and the son of AdeIinc Hotchkiss.
In December, 1867, George G. Hotch-
kiss fell i'll and died. He had been mar
RED some years to his wife, II handsome
brunette, and they lived at the small
hamlet called Youngstown. The ances-
tors of the Hotchkisses were the first set
tiers of the ancient village of Lewiston,
hard by, and they long held property
which extends along the Niagara river,
opposite to Queenstown heights. where
the famous Gen. Brock fell, and where a.
monument commentaries his DEATH
Wilson, being a doctor, attended Hotch-
kiss during his illness. When HOtch-
kiss died, after three weeks of agony,
Wilson said his disease was acute gas
tritis- During tits time, and before and
afterward, intimate relations existed be-
tween Adeline Hotchkiss and Dr. Will
son. Suspicious were felt and expressed
when Hotchkiss died that all was not
right But nothing was done, and the
suspected persons soon after removed TO
Buffalo
AT Buffalo son of the HotchkisSes,
named Holly, was at this time attending
"A commercial college. He had short
time before become heir to some $40, 600,
which were left him by an uncle. Mrs.
Hotehkiss had some money of her own.
She took up her residence in Buffalo, and
DR.. Wilson was her frequent visitor On
the 18th of January, 1869, the boy Holly,
being them about twenty years of age,
became suddenly and violently i'll. In
about three weeks, having made a will
in favor of his mother, he died. Noe

Youngstown, and thence went to Lock
port. DR. Wilson then established him
self in practice at LOckport, but about
four years ago the pair, having been OBJ
jects of some social censure in the mean
time, suddenly disappeared.
Si&months ago there were rumOrs of
investigation. Doubts and surmises,
long smothered, took definite and
practical shape. Certain friends of the
dead father and SOP, who are persons of
means and influence, took the matter ac
lively in hand The body of George C.
Hotchkiss, which had moldered more
than eleven years in the tomb, was eX-
humed. An elaborate analysis was
made of the remains by DR.. Simeon T.
Clark and DIR. A. Walter TryOn; and
they produced arsenic enough there
from to cause death. The physicians
testified that in their belief HOtchkiss
was killed by arsenic. Then other facts
came out. 1t Was proved that for some
time before he died no one was permit
ted 10 see the elder Hotchkiss. not even
his most intimate friends. After thus,
DIR. Lewis, of Buffalo, testified that Holly,
the son, had expired in spasms precisely
such as are produced by strychninc-
