An east- ward bound freight train was heard approach - ing at adistance, and Podmare hurrie tly went toward the track, and stood seemingly undect- ded what todo. Suddenly he walked over the track. The train was then about forty yards distant. He then retarned and stood on the track, before the eyes of about thirty pereons and awaited the approach of the train. The engineer repeatedly biew his whistie, and men shouted to him, but he seemod not to nutice the warnings. When the train was within several yards of him he turned about and faced the engine, which strnck him with terrific force, and sent him hurling into the air.

His physi- clans, in their efforts to save his life, final! confined themselves to the application of cold water dressings to the head, and by simply preesing the edges of the skut! and the scalp together two or three times each day caused the bones to adhere. His ear, which was almost entirely severed from his head, was so success- fully treated that no traces of its injury remain.

The report, after reciting the organization of the committee, the nature of the charge made against Mr. Beecher by Mr. Tilton, and giving the names of the wit nesses, proceeds with the following examination of the testimon: ‘The com mittee have given the evidence their most careful consideration, and find that in 1561 Mr. Beecher became editor, and Mr. Tilton as- sistant editor, of the Independent, and daring this relation they became varm and intimate friengs. On or about 1863, Mr. Tilton begat to Beecher to visit his (Tilton’s) house, more intimately acquainted ‘auliy. He was urged to do ial writing in his stady, as it Was more convenient to write there than at the office of the Independent. Beecher visited his bouse, and & friendly relation sj up be- tween A nd family of Titen and Beech - er, which continued down to December, in 1570; that the friendly relations existing between Mr. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton were weil known and understood, and met with Mr. Tilton’s approval. Some years before any open troabie a) between Be cher and Tilton, his ( Tilton's) doc- trines, as set forth in the Independent, of which he had become editor, aroused a storm of indig- uation and opposition in the west, where the paper was widely circulated. After mach dis. cussion this led to the starting of the Advance newspaper in Chicago, to supersede the /nde pendent. Tilton, while editor of the Jn: dent, 4 religious newspaper, had come to deny ths inepiration of the Scriptures and the divinit, Christ. His social views about this time un went 8 radical change in the direction of free love. This marked change in the religious and social views of Mr. Tilton was a source of great grief avd sorrow to Mrs. Tilton. Mrs. Tilton seemed a very religious woman, amountiag al- most to enthusiasm, and when this ch oc- curred in her husband she sought her pastor for counsel and sympathy. She set forth in stro terms the suffering her husband's course causes her. It now appears that during these years Mrs. Tilton became attached to Mr. Beecher, and in July, 1870, confessed to ber husband AN OVERSHADOWING APFECTION for her pastor. On or about the 18th of Septem- ber, 1570, Mrs. Tilton separated from ber bus- band, going with her children to ber mother's house. She sent for Mr. Beecher, and on his visiting ber, she made a statement of her saffer- mgs and the abuse which she had received at the hands ot her husband, which shocked Mr. Beecher. He arked and received permission to send to Mrs. Tilton his wite, whose judgment he cousidered in such matters better than his own. Subsequently he agreed in advising with hie wife, that It was desirabie that Mrs. Tilton should separate from her husband. Mr. Tilton, however, subsequently forced her to his house by sending for and obtaiaing possession of the youngest child, who was sick with croup. Daring Mrs. Tilton’s absence from her mother’s house, she suffered a miscarriage, the next dey after her return, on the 2ith, which reeulted in a serious tllness, continuing uotil after the Ist of January, her physician being m daily atten.- ance on her from the 24th to the 30th of Decem- ber, inclusive. Early in December of this year, to the marked change in Mr. Tiito us and social view: of ir. Bowen felt © hat bis services as editor of the Independent would terminate at a day named in the notice. Sabseqaeutly to this notice, and on or about the 20th o: December, Mr. Bowen had entered into a contract with Mr. Tilton, by which he was to be editor of the Brooklyn Daily Union and chie! contributor of the Jndevendent for five years But within afew Gays after making this oon- tract Mr. Bowen received such information vi Mr. Tilton’s immorality as elarmed him. and led ‘o an interview bitween himself (Tilton aud Oliver Jobnson at the house of Bowen on the 26th day of December, 1si0. At this inter- view Mr. Thiton sought to retain bis piace and Bowen's confidence by an attack on Mr Beecher. This interview resulted in the inso- lent letter which Mr. Tilton wrote avd signed on the “7th December, demandingithat Beecie: leave Plymouth church pulpit and Brooklyn. That evening on his way home, Mr. Bowen de- livered the letter to Mr. Beecher. Mr. Beecher on reading it, expressed his astonishment at the receipt of such a letter, and denounced its author. Mr. Bowen then derided the letter and gavo him some account of the reasons why he nad reduced Tilton from the editorship of the independent to the subordinate position of con- tributor, saying that Mr. Tilton’s religions and social views were ruining the » and that he was now considering whether he could con- sietent'y retain bim as editor of the Brooklyn Unior. or chief contributor of the Independent. They conversed for some time, Mr. Boweu wishing ‘ MR. BEECHER'S OPINIO’ which was freely given. Mr. Beecher said he did not see how Mr. Bowen could retain his rela- tions with Mr. Tilton. Mr. Beecher spoke wf the threatening letter and the reve- mn he had just had concerning Tilton’s do- mestic affairs. Mr. Bowen read Tiiton’s threat- ening letter, and said that if trouble came be would stand by Mr. Beecher. it seems Mr. Bowen communicated to Mr. Tilton on the following day the conversa- tion had with Mr. Beecher, and his intention to stand by him, (Beecher,) though he had no doubt that Tilton would have lost bis place; saw that bis influence was decisive and anticipated Tilton’s overthrow. — that on the 29th of December, Titon having learned the advice Mr. Beecher gave Mr. owen, and which was likely ‘ bring him face to face with the loss of place and position, extorted from his wife, thon lying ilof miscarriage, adocument implicating Mr. Beecher—a document eviuciug her love for her pastor apd accusing him of having mde an im- proper solicitation. ; On the following Way he sent Moulton to Beecher, requesting an interview with Mr. Beecher at Doulton's house that evening.

Pausing bere a VRRY IMPORTANT QUESTION arises in this connection: To what does the apology refer? It declares Mra. Tilton *-guilt- lees,” and yet Tilton says it refers to adultery, which Mr. Beecher Geuies. Without now con- sidering the weight of credit to which the re- spective parties are entitled where there is conflict between them, we believe and to show from the evidence that the original charge was im’ r advances, and that as time passed and the coi enlarged into adaitery. raters and convicted of which necessarily ends their influence in this controversy. What is the proof that the ch: in the first instance was adultery? it le ast that it was, and that the memorandum in tht bands of Tilton in bis wife's haudwriting was toruch effect. Bat this is denied by both Mr and Mrs. Tilton, and the written z is not produced. It is said farther that #r. Beecher confessed the fact of adultery; but shis again is denied by him, and such alleged con- fession is tnoonsictent with the retraction received that evening from Mrs. Tilton. If bad confessed, what service could the retraction render? Why procure one at all if, as al c Mr. Beecher had that grening contessed adul- tery to Tilton and Mouton, or to either? What, UhcD, was the chi preferred on the evening of December 30? We answer it was advances, which, ef course, Mr. Beecher de- nigd. What cecurred in the matter of the re- traction that evening, and the fabsoqaent conversstions, acts abd letters of the artous persons directly concerned in deali th the scandal, are consistent with this view, and with no other. The retraction procared referred to improper advances, and to nothing eise. It is not likely, if the main offence iad been charged, Mr. Beecher would bave been satisfied with anything short of a retraction of that. There ie a sort of postecript to the retraction im which the charge of improper advances ws explicitiy demed; thus showing, we submit, that this was the charge that was inthe minds of both Mrs. Tilton and Mr. But look farthe four years mary ti last ‘bally and in writ- ng that the charge was the lesser o' This is important under the rule that where @ com- plainant has made different and inconsistent Statements of the offence he alieges hte credi Dility is damaged, and tn most cases destroyed In the written statement of the offence shown to Dr. Storrs by Tilton and Uarpenter, which was made in Mrs. Triton’s handwriting ander the demand of her basband, who says he dicta- ted the precive words characterizing the offence, the charge was an impure proposal. This state- ment Mrs. Tilton retracted, aud says she pro- tested against it as faise when signed, and a'ter- wards saw Dr. Storrs and told him so.

Ex Supervisor Harmon, who like Mr. Beceher is one of our well known snd respectable citizens, testifies to substan- jaily The same experience with Mr. Tilton as to the nature of the charge. Mr. Harmon goes further, aud testifies not only that Tilton read to him the “true story,” in which there was no allegation of adultery, but that Tilton described o bua bie rst interview Mr. Beecher on the evening of December 30th, aud then in- formed Mr. Harmon that he at that time charged Mr. Beecher with improper advances. Mr. Harmon explicitly states that in all his con- versa tions, which were for more than two years, he at no time adultery as the offence of which he complained. The testimony before the committee shows a similar statement by Tilton to various other persons up to within &@ very recent period. Tho further fact that Tilton treated the matter during four years as a poe which = 4 proper! gized for and forgiven, is wholly Iicoueistent with the charge in {is present form Tilton in bis written statement complains that Mr. Beecher “abused his (Tilton’s) forgiveuess.”” it is believed vo cases of adultery on record can be produced wher; injured ‘husband upon learning of his wite’s infidelity kept the fact to bimee!f for «ix months, and then, after a private complaint to the receives and accepts ar. apology for the offense, and declares it rorgiv and this followed by & restoration of the cour- tesies of friendship.

It might bave been the charge of the lester Offence, but it is not conceivable that Tilton, in view of his conduct, believed even that tae so-called apology was not for the main offerce. Tilton bimegl!, in his cross-exa) lion, clearly proves thie. Mark his words: He says the day after it was Frocured, be was in Moulton’s room, met Beecher, when the following curred: “He ¢Beecher) burst out in an expres- sion of great sorrow to me, and said he hoped the communication be bad sent me by Moulton was satistactory to me.
