CINCINNATI , Aug 3.
Mr. Holmes , an engineer of the
steamboat Pat Rogers that was
burned at Aurora , gives the follow
ing account of the disaster :
It was about 8 o'clock when just
opposte Loughry creek , a stream
which flows into the Ohio two miles
below Aurora , I noticed a bright
light among some bales of cot
ton in the back part of the boat and
hastened to them , and I found them
burning rapidly , and beyond any
possibility of immediately extin
guishing them. I then hastened to
the hurricane deck , and gave the
alarm to the pilot that the boat w as
burning.and told him to run ashore.
He tried to do so , but she became
unmanageable. He thinks the till
er rope had been cut , and from this
fact it is believed that the fire was
the work of an incendiary , Another
theory is that a passenger dropped a
spark of the from a pipe into the
cotton.
When the boat became unman
ageable she drifted on a sand bar ,
and the flames , spread along the
lower deck and shot through the
cabin to the pilot house , and then
swept acre s the hurricane deck.
The passengers were all aroused and
many of them were carried to the
shore , but others in their fright
jumped overboard into the water ,
and those who were not drowned
reached .safe landing places , but
> oiiicof them drifted a long time
in the current. There were about
one Hundred people on board , but
what proportion of this number
were really lost is not known at this
time , as many reported missing have
been seen onshore after the disaster
file particulars of the disaster to
the steamer Pat Rogers , near Au
rora , Tn'l. , are "oniing in slowly.
About five o'clock this morning
some bales of cotton forming a part
of lier cargo , got on fire , and the I
boat with all its contents , consist
ing of cattle , sheep and hogs , were
burned to the water's edge , and is
a total Io-s. AH the books and the
passenger register are lost. The boat
was valued at § 60,000 , and insured
for $32-
in a Cincinnati Company ,
OQO , uijd in a Louisville Company

has not been ascertained. The

The fire was discovered about five
o'clock in the morning. A1 } the
passengers were asjcop , and the
crew didn't know anything about

displayed in awful contrast. Offi
cers exerted themselves nobly to

mother of the girl , although she had
noticed the change in the appear
ance of her daughter , had no suspi
cion of the real facts of the case un

knowledge of the case whatever. A

BROOKLYN , August 5 ,
Tillon's action in bringing his
case bsfore the courts is favorably
commented on as the most satisfac
tory way such a case can be ad
justed. His oounspj ypstorday said
the reason for his aptjon was that
the Plymouth Investigating : t'oui-
mitte was a farce. It was ridiculous
to think that they could try Beecher
without bias , as they are all his own
personal hjeuds , Lojdes they have
not the power to summon witnesses
and poiijpel them to qpne'ar and
testify , ftenpe thejj. wprji niust be
imperfect anfj unsatisfactory.
They havp been tljscourtcous to
Tilton , who should bp prpspnt at
their session to aid their delibera
tions. His coxm&el is confident that
the committee's ' verdict caii ll ° Ye
no possjblp weight wjtli the public.
The matter wilt now' liecessarjjy lie
until September , wjieij the courts
reopen. One ourjous point in con
nection with the latest phaso'of the
scandal U that District Attorney
Winslow , who is a member of the
jnvpstigatingcommittee and a warm
friend of JJpepher's , may any day be
called upon by the people or com
plainant to appear in his official ca
pacities and conduct the suit against

The Argus publishes an interview
held with Mr. Moulton , who re
turned to Brooklyn yesterday.
Moulton said that although be had
heard an invitation had been sent
to him to appear before the Investi
gating Committee , he had not
received any invitation. He de
clared he was ready to go before
the committee , if Beecher and Til-
ton requested it. He said he had
not received a letter from Beecher ,
asking him to go before the com
mittee and testify , although he had
received his mail regularly. He still
adheres to the opinion that he ex
pressed to the committee , that the
matter should have betn compro
mised. He regretted that the in
vestigation had been commenced.
He also expressed regret at the
present situation , but said that the
affair had now reached such a pass
that all the facts must come out.
He was now here In time to testify ,
if his evidence should be requested
by both Beecher and Tilton.
The Brooklyn Eagle publishes
a lengthy interview with Moulton
in which Moulton declined posi
tively to give any information re
garding letters said to be in his pos
session , or whether they were reallj
in his possession. He also said tlia
he would not go before the commit
tee , nor make "any revelations to
that body , unless upon the'writtei
request of both Beecher and Tilton
and that he wouli avoid speaking
as long as possible ; but if Beecher
and Tilton insist upon it , he will go
forward and speak the truth , and
the whole truth. He has been hon
ored with Ihe friendship and confi
dence of both. The trouble arose
between them , and he as a gentle
man and friend undertook to serve
both by bringing about a reconcilia
tion. He looked upon their fami
lies as certainly Innocent of any
wrong , but they were sure to suffer
by any open hostilities , and that for
their sake , if for no other reason ,
peace ought to be preserved. He
was also convinced that irrespective
of right or wrong in the matter ,
both Beeeher and Tilton would ,
of necessity , suffer , and could not by
any possibility gain anything by
having their difficulties diagged be
fore the public for arbitration. On
these beliefs he had acted , and he
felt time his present duty WHS tq re
main silent. In answer to a question
whether he thought his testimony
would injure Tilton , he said , "Not
until I testify shall it be known who
my tp tlinony vjll help or hurt. "
The Eagle also says that one of the
witnesses examined last night was a
livery stable keeper , who told about
IrivingTilton and Moulton , with a
short-haired woman , down to Coney
[ sland , and related Incidentsof their
bathing at that place , and of the
wine dinneis th.it followed. The
shoi t-haireu wmian supposed to
) e Mrs. Woodluill. One of the
Committee , accouling to the Eagle ,
says that after Tilton had finished
reading his statement he was asked
f lie had the oiiginal documents
vith him , A\hen he answered tbat
le had not ; that some were at his
louse , and the remainder were in
Moulton's posspssion. He has made
our distinct promise * , 'at diflerqnt
'
imes1 , to pi od uce the 'documents ,
not one of which he has produced ,

Nn\v VORK , August 3.
The cross-examination of Mrs.
lijton beforp thp Plyn outh phurph
investigation pommlttpe was given
to the prpss last night. The ex
amination took place on the 31st of
July , ami was conducted by Mr.
Hill. The following is a synopsis of
the first portion of her evidence and
a recital of her early married life :
She was married in 1803 , and did
not receive much attention from her
husband , butshe excused this , as
she told him she did not expecthim
to devote himself to her Avhen ehe
was sick. 'He'was'so inditferent
that he was frequently upbraided by
uer mother , ami nurse , He was
very extravagant , and then abused
lier when lie had to pay a bill. He
insulted her in public and apologized
in private. The first thing that dis
turbed her peace of mind was her
this was about I860. Prior to 1869 ,
rheodore had criticised her conduct ;
lier mannpr to every one was a
trouble to jiim. . Wb.on sb'e'livfd In
dxford , in 1865 , Theocjore began to
talk of Beecher's wrong doings with
ladles , whjoh Tjltqn had heard from
i Mr. , and night affer night
ind day after day lip talked about
Beeohw ; he seemed to bo worried
MI that subject , so that when
Beeoher came Tilton Immediately
jegan to have suspicions. Whenever
Beecher's interviews were with her
done she made memorandurrs ana
epeated all the conversation to her '
lus and. . TJltou watehejljierclosp-
y and questioned her regarding
2\ery gentleman that called , but
jspecially regarding Beecher. Some-
ines ) In ponyp'rsation ho would
] \ro\v qut sonie , remark made by >
Beecher on some previous vis-it , and
rheodore would say , "you didn't
el ] me That , " and she would reply ,
'I fprgot } t ; " thpn he would pay ,
'You dian't mean to tejl me. " Slip
: ried for over three years to repeat
o her husband everything she said
) r did , but found it made him more
uispieious , accusing her of Inten-
4onal ommlssions in using the ex-
Dresslon "you lie. " His manner
ivas passionate and angry. His
; ridcisms and suspicions have con-
inued up to the present day. It
.vas in the spring of 1869 that her
msband openly accused her of
I guilty intimacy with Mr ,
Beecher , and in his letters
ie also made the accusation ,
She had invariably denied it , but
jls evident intention and desire was
o bring her to such a state that she
ivould acknowledge some wrong.
\11 his Influence In conversation
yas exerted in this direction. He
ivonld read the Bible and ask her
igaln and again , "IVhat do yon
r Icoketh
upon a worn an , &e. , ' ? " He would
discourse upon this subject nearlj-
whole .night. In makingthesealle-
gations he would often say , " You
will not den } ' tlmt you have
had criminal intercourse , "
and in this way tried to frighten
her. He also pretended to have
seen certain things , and accused
her once or twice of sitting ii :
Beecher's lap. This she denied , bu
by this continued talk year in and
year out she came to become quite
indifferent , except as regarding her
anxiety for Tilton ; she was worn
and sick of it. Up to this time his
accusations related only to Beecher ,
but about 1870 he began to think her
admiration extended to others , and
spoke of two or three gentlemen ac
quaintances. In his charges , even
respecting Beecher , he never
named any definite time or place or
any criminal act , nor did ho pre
tend that she had been guilty of any
impropriety at Beeoher's house , and
she had never mei Beecher at any
place by appointment. Tilton , in
his public statement , based an accu
sation against her upon the inter
view she had with Beecher in her
second story room , which he claims
Aas admitted by her. This she de
nied. She also denied making any
admission to her husband in July ,
1S70 , of any act of impropriety with
Becclier. Regarding her conversa
tion with Tilton in July , 1870 , or
thereabouts , on that subject , Mrs.
Tilton stated that she not made a
confession similar to that made by
Catherine Gaunt , but had said many
things in many conversations , out
of which there might have been
gathered up such a story. She had
read Catherine Gaunt , to ascertain
the point , and writing to her hus
band from Scholmrie , felt that it
reached her case , andVrote herhtis-
band accordingly. She had not
thpn read thp book through and had
uo thought or reference to adultery.

The greatest excitement prevails

inaile to" get the steamer ashore but
proved unavailable. A panic oc-
