Bpectal Disvateh to The Chirago Tribune, Brookryg, N, Y., Fob. 8.—The strects to-day wore pud& by » tremendous fall of rain, which flushed sowers, cloaned gutters, sud fosmed down the streots like mountain torrents. Yor- liaps this cause had its offect in tho aiminished nttendsuce of Teris st tha gato of tho CityeCourt Paradiss. Tho falling off was vory manifest, and the fow stoaming croatures who flled the corridors with glostly and unwholesoma vapors Luog about tho entrance liko cripples at tho door of an hos- pital. But, though the attondance outaide way muéh smaller, tho cougrogation within the per- spiring walls of the court-room quite equalod the aboormal attendance of yostorday. Flavonzh euggestions of wob ginghams and Indin-rub- bor overshoos fold with mute eloquonce of the climato and it condition, Tho consequence was a marked acerbity on the part of the officers, genoral {ll-humor among the lawyers, graifnoss in the bearing of the learned Judge, sud an ill- represod tendency to sneeze amoug the sudienca. TOX EPFECT OF TILTON'S TESTIMONY ON THE COMMUNITY. Tilton's remarkable testimony yesterday was the themo of universal conunent. Such a horri- blo story as he bnd to tell had never been told bofore so painfully snd with such distress. It borders on the impoesiblo, while it is certainly withont the bounds of however vig- orous—howoevor devilish—an invention. Tha rugged pathos with which it waa told, the awfu wrenching of hoart-strings whioh it demonstrat- ad, the deathly pallor of Tilton, the crimeon faco of Doecher, the apatliy of tho wivos, and the ro- vulsion of the appalled audionca from & scono t0o terrible ever to forget, impressed itsolf with awful distinctness upon all who witnessed it, Even tho Judge shuddered on the bonch, and the jurymen huddled togothor. TO-DAY, of course, evergbody folt that the worst was over. Tilton's lightenod face indicated how groatly his very soul had boon relleved by the aischarge of its gravest and most terriblo mocrot, By coincldonce, the fea- tares of his adversary never looked so sombro, eo foll of heartsick anxiety. Tho shadow of desth seoms to bave fallon upon bim. A film covered bis bluo cyes like a mystio vell, and upon his face was a ook of perpotual longing. Troubloa havo spititusl- izod his boing. Th grosiucss Is melting out of hitn, and the fires of rofinement promise, by and by, to baro the hoart which glows within his fleshly bulk, Mrs, Beecher was very ill to-dey. Hor pinched and careworn fentures wers set in tholr usasl rigid deflance of sorutiny. The only wsy In which asufferiug ahowod {tself consisted in a weary sigh which overy now and then esoaped hor, the tired move- ment of Ler band, and her pathetio glances at the troubled front of hor husband, Just before tho proceedinga commenced, TIE PETTICOST GONSTARULALY marched tho prisoner into court. A bright, hectio flush burned on Mra. Tilton's faco and a weird brightoess glittered in her eyos. Elther tever rioted in bor blood, or & yery unwholesome stato of mind wael hors to-day, Tho turnkeys were in quadroplicate force, Judge Morse follow= ingthe hiollow square that awept his daughtor-in- law to tho battlo-fleld. Mrs. Shearman looks jaded aud eshanated, but Mra, Field's official boaring Waa as gorenc and hor face aa relonticss s evor, Tilton, all the cloarer ud brighter for boing purged of the losthsome confession which startlod us yosterday, showed au well » nicer poiso aad » wiser solf-roprossion. What bis enemica yesterdsy ascribod to frivolous egotism was heart-broak. His love for his wife is the epoctral lame which flickers abovo all the matorial reck of this tragedy. Io closes his eyes to the empty and tortaring world, aud seea only the happiness which once wrapt him,—a home whose ruin his God (g0 he cries) is nnable to repair. ILE 16 A8 MOODY AND A8 WILD as the posssssed croature who lived among tombe and hold solitary converse with tha dead. They bring his lost wife into court day after day, that perhaps Le muy seo & phantom love woolog him, and so forgal the awful present in & clutoh at tho vanished pest. Bhe, poor soul, glddy from dexterous bandling, and shaken by the heavings ot a terrible passion, is as atone to the man who swiles and simpers, whilo tho AQONIES OF DAMNATION wring the man whose punishment ia that he loves her atill. Tilton's testimony to-day con- tained one popular sensation, and, as nsoal, it waa at the exponse of the Beeche erian Hot-Gospeler, Benjamin Pranklin Traoy. Fullerton, whose dovotion to his client inoludes the delight of squaring so- cauunts with an old foe, rescrved the further ex- posure of Tracy as a procossional bonne bouche. After leading bis client through arid plaina of nagative testimony, he brought him to the vory doors of the Investigation Committeo. Thore arrived, the defense, through Evarts, mado a re~ newed battle to preveut any more exhibition of tho CURIOUS MUSLUX ‘which Traoy ia ploaged to oall his conscience. But Fullerton waa fierce with tho desive to finish his adversary, sud, thorefore, aftor fighting with unusual vigor, obtained & rule admit- tiog the grotesque story, Tilton, upon this, bore wilgess that Tracy, with tears in kls oyen while she Commites was . i DAY, aitting, approached him and told him that his ca#o was & strong one, and, with many solomn plodges, assurod him that the Committos would nccept any charge against Beecher except one so grava sa to mnke it {mpossiblo for him ovor thereaftor to roappesr in Plymouth pulpit. This, coming via Tilton from Naoechor's racognizod agent, and involving the Committeo of Beocher's own creation, first FILLED TIE COURT WILT AMAZEMENT, and thon dirostod all eyos at that eminentdivino, Beeclior did not besr the scrutingy willwut dis- tross. o rau his fingers through his hnir, and & wave of blood rolled up to tho crown of his head. Tor some reason, tha audience appeared to declino the hazard of bolieving that Tracy wept, but the gravor chargo that he desired “Tilton to modify his sdmittodly true statemont merely to mako it posalblo for Boectier to remain in Brookiyn, atruck tho towers of Plymouth with such an esrthquake shock that they reel- ed. Tho hour of recoms fairly tivgled with the discussion of this graye stato- meut. Tracy's provious oporations as a confl- dential agent for Beacher had beon oxposed by Moulton and Woodruft. No hositation, thera- fare, was expressod in the popular acceptanco of ‘Tilton’s furthor and moreinjurious showing. The first hour aftor the reccss wag spont in reading and filing some of the latters which passed be- tween Tilton and his wife, whicli were first pub-~ lishedin yourcolumos. Of courso, it follupon Ful- lerton toread them. Neither correspondent could detract from the exquisito manner in which ho discharged bisdolicato task. Every lateut bosuty, overy tondor sentimont, blushed out in hia dolivory, aa if it wore & young flame et afloat on & moonlit stream. Evon to the frozen hoart of Llizabeth Tilton did his sorrowful phrazing ponetrato. Sho colored with a richor and holicr flush, until one of her own caressing mesrages to hior husbsnd spoke to her like tho memory of & dead child, THEN S DUNET INTO TEATS, and wop! bitterly, while the faint proccesion of vanishod lovo was wafted from herview. When the lust lettor had been rend and identified, Judge Fullerton looked at the Court Clerk sud said, ‘“That's all.” Tilton tarned in bis cbnir,and, for the first time during the trial, flushed up to his forehond. It was tho ond of his jonrnoy un- der guidance, and the bogioning of a rush un- piloted through the rapids of cross-oxamination. Tho audience oxpressed & genars!l sigh, such as pervadesn theatrowhen the curtain falls npon ouo heart-ahaking act with the prospect of aaother full of greator possibilities. Fullerton bad only talen bia acat whon Evarta rose and begnn the inquisition, which, it {s promised, will scat- tor the plaintiff’s story in o thousand fragmonts. THE DRIFT OF EVARTH' QUESTIONING was lo provo that, while Elizaboth Tilton had ‘marriod stoadfast in the faith of her childbood, her husband had strayed into desires Innumera- able, and withorod the promise of his youth by oxposuro to evil infuencos. Tho furiher pur- pos of tho cross-cxamination wna to establish & footing of crodibility for Mra. Tilton by showing how swoot, how true, Lhow Jovesbls she Is by her hueband's testimony. In sharp contrast, it was intondod to protect Tilton's growing un- beliefs, his worldly ambitions, and tho sourncss of temper which business failures bad inducod consccutively. Evarts proceeded to trace the differdnces which according to the theory of the defenso estrangod Tilton from DBeecher and filled tho formor with his diabolical purpose of destroying the lattor, Tbia just was touched upon when the Court announced au adjournment. The direct examination which ended tfo-dny has offected & vory positivo impreseion. It is truo that a great deal of it had been anticipatedin tho two statemants made by Tilton, but the jury ago much oldor tiiau those who have been seon in that part of the ecourte room during the grrat trisl. The greater mart of them yeste rday were middlo-aged or olderly men of ordir iary, respectable appearance, At timos they appe: ared doeply interented in tho proceedings, butd aring the greater patt of the day they scemad to Lo ongaged in looking at the counsel, jurymen. 1 nd ladies, rather than liston. ing to tho tostiwiony.

TILTON'S T/ LE TAGLBLY LISTENED T0. Mr. Tilton's o1 idonce to-day was not ssariling, but, from bogin ning to eud, the interest ln it waa not once all owed to droop. Ilis testimony firet adverted te ) tho Comaségational Council in 1874—to the tim w0 whon BIr. Tiltou first hrard of ity orgavization apd what followed. The familiar oceurrencessur rouading tho famous Bacon letter were lightly to uched upon. It was soon after this that Tilton last met and spoke to alr. Beech- er. Hotold )0 r. Beecher on that occasion {liat Dr. Bacon had- called him ()Ir. Tilton) a knave and a liat, and a creature of Mr. Beeclier's mag- nanimity, and added that Mr, Boecher most deny Dr. Bacon's st atements or he (Mr, Tilton) would. Mr. Beecher 1t 1ade no reply and went away. Un- Uil they met in the couri-room the two men did not f.gain mos cach other. The lotter from Bfr. Tilton to Mr. Descher, dated o May, 1874, was introduced, in which tho* mritor wrote tbat he had Loard from Mr, Carpent or that Mr, Beoclior desired to offer Nr. Tilton p cuniary aid. 'Tho lattor clossd by declining Ut o monev direetly o indirectly, and Mr. Falierlt .nread it with tho grieved expression which the w riter evidently intended to convey. Anothor cot amunication, written to Mr, Shear- man and ot ner members of Plymouth Clurch, wasread. It contained quotations from tho La- con letter, ¢ tod nald that if It was desired 1o try Tilton for | ke charpes acainst him, he would sp- pear at the bar of Plymouth Church and answer them.

BYNOETICAL. Special Dispatch lo The Chicdao Tribune, New Yong, Feb. 8.~To-day was ono of the most intereating days of the great trial in Brook- Iyn, and was in striking contfass with the pro- vious two days ot Mr. Tilton’s exemivation. 7Tha witness testified to his sotlon regarding tho Bacon letter, and toward tho Plymouth Clurch Investigsting Committeo. A fow of tho lettora which passed between MMr. Tilton and hus wife bafare the alleged commission of tho crime wero introduced to influence the jury in the question of damages. The cross-examination then began, Mr. Evarta conducting it, and by him tho roligious views of the witncss wero drawn out ond made to compare with thoso of his wife and Mr. Beechor, The cross-examination will be continued to-morrow. THE ADIDING INTEREST, Rnin and dangoerous walking had no effect to- sy ubon those whose intorest in tho trial bas been oxcited to {he utmost piteh, and who at- tend ¢ daily. At 11 o'clock tho court-room was fully a8 crowded as it bas been at any time dur~ ing tho past four wocks, whilo the corridors wero darker, and tho unkompt compauy of men and boys filling it were wot and more unruly iban usual.
