LIKE A THUEDERB3I.T—BSECHER AND
MR i. TILTON TO PUBLISH ^STATE
MENTS.
Saw Ycm, July 22.—Tae Beecher scandal,
as coubdned in the statement of Tilton, pub
lished yesterday evening, are themes of univer
sal comment hero. The publication of the
statement so unexpectedly, Ulljike a thunder
bolt in Brooklyn society especially. Beech
er arrived from Peek-kill yesterduy aud on
hearing of the statement said he would take a
good nights rest and take hold of the subject
this morning. It is announced that Mr.
Beechtr aud Mrs. Tilton will} each prepare
lull detailed statements of their own. lor
presentation to the committee aud for pub
lication.
Mrs. Tilton’s statement will be ft general de
nial of all specific charges mane by her hus
band, aud the declaration that her love for
Beecher was simply deep spirihi .l love and
not sensuous. Her letters to lletcher will be
ba produced. Beecher promises that his
statement will put all Tilton’s charges in a
proper light. A morning pap*-r says Tilton
is said to have confirmed his opinion of the
children, and that with the exception of his
eldest daughter, the others bad different
fathers.
A dispatch says Tilton will appear again
before the committee to-day. The pret* gen
erally, which commented ou Tilton’s state
ment, withheld judgment until Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton shall have been heard.
The Herald says that this is oue of the
most terrible misfortunes tbit ever befcl the
public. And that Mrs. Tilton, wl atev. ; r has
been her offjuce, has most assuredly been
revenged. It elsewhere says, wo are proud to
know that thus far Batcher comes out un
tarnished, and is no way, unworthy of the
fame he has acquired during his for:y years of
blameless Chn-.tian life. Tae Tunes con
denses several of the specific charges made by
Tiltcn, as demanding separate investigation,
aud the strongest kind oi disproof beloie they
should be disposed of, especially where he
alleges spec finally that on certa.u d.ttcs Mr.
Beecher had illicit intercourse with Mrs. Til
ton.

PROCLAMATION OF REWARD DY TIIE MAYOR OF

The Mayor of Philadelphia has offered
$30,000 for the arrest of the men who stole the
child Ohurles B. Boss, aged 4 \ears, dressed
in brown^ linen, panama bat, laced shoes,
blue and white stockings. The boy has long
flaxen curly hair, hazel eyes, clear skin, round
full face. The child was decoded by twa

all over, lined with dark material, drawn by a
dark bay horse, about 1.7$ hands high,
driven, it is believed without a check r* in, by
two men, who as nearly as can bo ascertained,
answer to the following description;
Number one was a man ol rather large size,
probably five feet eight inches in height, he

from thirty five to lorty-fivoyears; moustache,
full beard or whiskers, rather long on the

hair, ho wore a ring ou the little finger ol
the right hand. Number two was a man
five feet 8 or 10 inches. in height, about
twenty-five or thirty years of ago; of light
complexion, sandy moustache, and red nc»e
and face, having the appearance of a drink

it Lad been worn sometime and much sun-

Philadelphia is in tho enjoyment of a de
cided sensation in the way of a spiritualism
manifestation just now. The Sunday Press
gives an interesting accouut of what is done.
Through the good offices of a friend the re
porter succeeded ia gaining admittance to a
quasi private seance of Mrs. Jenny Holm<s, a
medium through whom “the spirits’’ have
elected to make their
MOST EXTRAORDINARY MANIFESTATIONS.
The arrangement of their exhibitions is so
strongly suggestive of a theatrical troupe and
Mrs. Holmes has such a business-like way of
tulking about the • 'performances,”as she calls
them, that tho reporter must be pardoned for
using theatrical phraseology, iu default of
any fimiliarity of that of spirit-land.
The “troupe, ’ theD, which gave its last ex
hibition for the season (with the exception of
oue or two strictly private ones) on last Friday
evening, at Mis.* HolwtV residence, No. 50
North Ninth street, was composed, as to its
earthly part, of Mrs. Holmes, a buxom,
healthy looking, handsome matron, slightly
above middle height, and apparently 25 years
of age, aud her husband, a slenderly-built
young man about the sumo age. who took a
little part in the proceedings. Dr. Child was
also present, and took active part, while the
venerable liobert DaioOaeu was a deeply in
terested spectator.
Tho principal performer-the star of the
troupe- was “Katy King,” the daughter of old
piratical Sir Hemy Morgan, long tho terror
of the Spanish Main iu buccaneering days,
lie sailed under tue alias “John Kim?,” or if
he did not then he does now, and Katy. like
a dutiful daughter, follows suit. “John King”
in person, no, in spirit was also ou tho stu^e,
but manifested bis presence ody by a few
raps given with the air, and doubtlesv in ca
pacity of stage manager. No other perform
ers appeared at this seance, and though there
arc* said to be several others, tho reporter pre
fers to codGuo his accouut to what he actual
ly saw aud beard. •
Arriving at the nouse, ho was d ; rect**d to
the second story front room, where Dr. Child
received him—charged a dollar for aitrauce
fee, directed him to hang up his hat on a rack
in the bail and then ushered kirn into tho
room. This was an apartment about sixteen
ftet tquart*, with two windows, ngntc-heartb.
seats for the expected audience and, iu one
corner
THE INDISPENSABLE “CABINET.”
A closet made by runuiug a partition across
the corn or so as to form a triangular box the

hung with loose, dark curtains, an acknowl
edged door on one *.ide, was boarded over in
a seemingly impregnable manner and on tho
ll >or was a carpet, entire with exception of n
small patch where it had been deftly mended.
A nnmbt r of small chairs, which bad been
stored in the closet —were taken out to scat
the “inner circle,” leaving the little apartun-nt
entirely bare of everything, but curtains aud
carpet. It was closed by a light door, liuiue-
diatdy over which, aod about seven feet from
the floor, was an aperture, perhaps six or teu
inches and ou one side, about a foot lower,
was a second, perhaps leu inches wide by
fifteen high to the top ot the point in which
it ended. Both apertures were covered by
curtains loosely hung inside .and reaching
auout eighteen inches below them.
A few minutes after eight, some 23 or 30
people being present, the door was closed and
locked, one window darkened, leaving the
other wide open aud uncertain, tbe dimly-
burning gas extinguished, aud a coai-oi! lamp,
with a red »err* n, set iu tho coiner opposite
the cabinet. Ten chairs wore ranged iu a
s.-micircle facing tho cabinet, aud were occu
pied by the most experienced in spiritual bos-
iuehs the rest of the audience being ranged in
two olher s^mi-circleg. All b^ing iu reddiness,
the light was turned down until the littla
brcnzM clock ou tho mantle-piece could just
be discovered half way aero s the room. The
medium occupied a rocking chair on tho left
end <»t the “inner ciiclo” Next to tho-fireplace,
her husband taking tho other cud within a
long reach of the closet door. The room be
ing very warm, most of the gentlemen remov
ed their coats, while both ladies aud gentle
men kept up a vigorous fanning and a brbk
conversation iu subdued tones. There was no
joining ot hands, no mesmerizing, no putting
the medium into a trance ; but a small music-
bex ou a side table near tho cabinet was
wound up aud played au overture.
A course so different from preconceived
notions of spiritualist seances surprised the
reporter; but he kept silent, supposing the
preparations were not entirely completed, and
waited, wondering to see what would be done
next. When the music-box ran down, which
it did alter playing three or four tuues, a
young gentleman in the corner was asked to
sing. He complied by singing the words of
the Lord’s Prayer to the tune of “The Last
Uose of Summer,” many ot the audience
joining in. As the singing was started, three
low laps came from the vicinity of the Cabi
net. Nobody seemed to pay auy attention,
but when the singing was done Dr. Child ask
ed in a conversational tone, addressing the
cabinet: “More Music, John ?” The reply
affirmative, three raps, “Singing?’* One rap.
“No.”
The music-box was accordingly wound np
agai i, and while it was playing tho curtain
over the lower aperture was raised, aud a hand
was seen waving in the closet. In another
moment a shapely arm, holding a bouquet,
was thrust through the aperture, but was
quickly withdrawn, and
a woman’s face
appeared. This was Katy Kir g. It was too
dark to distinguish features accurately, but
the fie9 was evidently that ot a young and
comely woman. It was set in a irame o!
dark, waving hair, and over the head was
thrown a l ice scarf, forming a tasteful head
dress. Kity spoke in a loud whisper, audi
ble in all parts of the room, stinting tho au
dience with a kindly “good evtniug. all.’
Tbe greeting was returned, and Katy, with
many appearances and disappearances, salu
ted severally by name those who were p
sonally known to her.
Several strangers were then introduced to
her, each ot whom was graciously greeted.
Oue very tall gentleman, Gou. B. of Washing
ton, was called to her w indow, and carried on
quite a conversation wilh her iu a whisper
too low to be heard. When he resumed hi
scat some one remarked that the acneiul
height whs advantageous in carrying on a
conversation with such an extremely lofty
hello, when Katy, who, whether visible or un-
visible, seemed to hear all that was going on,
suddenly thrust her head out and said, “ Gen.
B., you are nice, i! you are tall!” This call
ed lorth a laugh, and Mrs. Holmes jocosely
congratulated the general on his captivating
qualities, whereupon Katy again appeared
and silenced her with the irate exclamation,
♦•Jennie Holmes you old stupid !*’
This was about the tenor « f the whole con
versation, which lusted more thauhalfan
hour. Katy volunteered no important infor
mation, and was asked for none. Throughout
the evening she acted and was treated like a
kittenish young lady of three years old. Early
iu tho “performance” she called Mr. Owen to
her presence, addressing him lovingly as
“Father Owen,” talked to him, patted him on
the bead, and finally gave him her boquet to
hold. The boquet wus paused from hand to
hand. Ii had all tho Appearance, smell, and
ftelmgofa bunch of natural floweis, with a
piece of bro*n paper wrapped round the
stems. Katy was then asked it sho hu.l

Shu disappeared for u moment, then oiuia
again and handed Mr. Owen ono of the small
••dagger-fans'’ popular a toasou or two ago,
which, it is taid, bad been given her at a for
mer seance. Mr. Owen took tho fan, opened
it with a loud snap, flourished it, uud passed
it back.
Katy was then asked if Mhe would “oomo
“Golden Stairs,” was then sung, and before
the first verse was c-nd^d, the door opened
slowly, and out of the ilnkness (for the lamp
had now been turned down to a dim twilight)
came slowly a white-robed figure, not sliding,
but stepping wilh easy grace, tho hands
raised and waving before tlie lace, like one
feeling the way iu tho dark; tho pertectly
rounded arms bared to tho shoulder by the
falling away of the loose flowing sleeves, the
white scarf still lying on tho dark ringlcU, a
gossamer-like dress of purest white, flowing in
graceful lines to the fee-1 and gathered at the
waist by a belt, ia which was thrust tho “dag
ger” previously shown, while the right hand
held a second bouquet. It was the figure ot a
lovely woman, about middle high*, and per
haps scarcely yet out of her teens, admirably
proportioned. She was greeted with applause,
bowed gracefully' and retired, reaching the
band lo the latch of the door, and closing it
after her with a perfect natural motion, in a
few moment’s she came again aud then again,
with tho bouquet at first held in her baud,
now fastened at her throat, which sho wore
besides a glittering ornament, said to bo a
necklace ol diamonds. A chair was set for
litr beside the closet, and slio camo out, ad
vanced to Mr. Owe n, and almost within arm’s
length of tho reporter, reclaimed Lor bou
quet, then took use it in the chair, apparently
with much difficulty, remained a few mo
ments, and then returned io her clcset, fud-
iug quite away, bauqu-t aud a!!, tu/oro the
door was entucly closed. At another time she
passed round tho inner circle, touching each
ou tho head, and again opening the door aud
partly showed herself floa'ing iu tho air, at
the height she would have lo reach iu order
to bo seen through her window.
She was then asked to disappear with, the
door open, and repl ed that sho would try,
but they were asking a great deal of her. “Ii
wus *eiv waxw, and sho found
it ve»y hard to materialize.” In
a few moments tho door swung wide, nnd
Katy appeared from the darkness within,
stood a womeut iu the doorw ay, and then, re
treating, melted gradually away until only
the shimmtr of her dresses’ hem remained;
then in tbe same gradual way she came again,
closed the door aud disappeared finally. Af
ter waiting a few moments, Dr Child asked :
“All through, John ?” Tho three cfllrmutive
raps replied, and tho meeting broke up, af
ter slitting an hour and a half.
Every opportunity was then offered to ex
amine tho closet, nnd it was found lo be us
above described. The space into which Katy
King retreated, and from which she came
again, pioved to be a c rner not more than
ten inches iu greatest depth, which could not
afford shelter to tho most slender boy, while
every port of tho cabinet seemed firm nnd
plain. During the evening several Mings weie
sung, mostly in a minor key, aud ranging from
the melodies of the concert s ilo in lr» those of
tbe babbath-school. Tho only joit ing of
hands was w hen K ity appeared at full length,
and on this ccosiou tiie remaining window
was shaded like its mate aud the lights turned
so low that though objects could beuadily
s.-en, they could not be closely scrutinized.
Ail the time the medium kept her rockiug-
*' v, asr, fanning herself composedly, talking to
Kity, laughing and talking with the compa
ny, and seeming to have no other part in the
maiiiftstations than that of au interested spec
tator. She was a woman of limited cducu-l
tion, and apparently a range ot thought con-1
lined to purely commonplace subject?, in
which particular lvily agreed with lici; but in
outward form, with some rescmbtauces, there
wero great differences. .

The Peacn Trade.
FROM GEORGIA TO NEW YORK.
The first crop of Southern poaches, says tbe
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel sells us high
as twenty-five dollars per bushel in New York,
when the fruit is properly prcseived, But
the great impediment iu the way of a largeB
and lucrative trade bus been the difficulty ot j
preventing tbe peaches from decaying. How
ever green the fruit may have been w hen pi.11- '
od, in the majority of cases it has been found !
that a large per centago was ULli: for use !
when opened in New York. A method has
been now discovered, howeva*. by which
peaches pulL-d perfectly ripe in Georgia or
South Carolina, can bo landed in the metrop
olis, in as perfect a state of preservation ns
when taken from the trees. This is done by
m^ans of Allegretti’s “iceberg” refrigerator
whiob consists ot a largo box or case. The
oaLide of this ease is made of hardwood;
next to this is a space filled ?.'ith hair felting
ono of the best non-conductors known), which
is cut iu sheets tbe exact siz» of the space to
be filled, and is so secured that it cannot he
displaced by any amount of jarring or shak
ing.
Next to*the felting and forming the inside
wall of the spice, is a thickuess of tho best
quality of well-seasoned w hite pine, which is
also a non-conductor. Inside ot this, and
upou upright stripes ot pine, is a shell ol
best thick galvanized iron, which foimsthe
internal case. This iron shell is so arranged,
that between it and tho thickness ot pine,
there is an air tight space. The air confined
in this space is almost a perfect non-conduc
tor. By all of these, tho relrigerating mate
rial is protected, first by the space contain
ing confined air, stcoud by the thickness of
pine, third by the space filled with hair fill
ing. and fourth by thi outside haul wood
case. This combination ot non-conducting
substances form the top, bottom and the four
shits of the external case, which arc fastened
together with screw bolts iu
such a manner that it can be
taken apart as easily as a bedstead. The in
side chamber is made of thick galvauized
iron carefully riveted and soldered iu all con
nections so as to make it perfectly tight, and
is so placed that there is a wide space be
tween it and tho outer case ; not only at its
lour bides at its top and bottom also, so that,
it does not touch it at any point. This space
is tilled with Ihe refrigerating mitenal which
surrounds the chamber, and is iu dose con
tact with tbe outside surface oi its top, lour
sides, uud extends below it, aud surrounds
the walls ol tho deep air spice that exists be
tween tho bottom of thu chamber end the
fl )orof the external case, rendering tho air in
this space us cold as the refrigerating uuter-

A coqple of large refrigerators upou a plat
form car of the Feusylvania Hiilroud reached
the city yesterday afternoon, having been
brought out as pioneers ot tho fruit crop to
be inaugurated through this menus between
this section and tho Northern circumstances
which l**d Mr. Allegrotti to scud thorn out,
are ns follows:
Several years ago, Mnj. Moultrie Moses,
originally of South Cato'itm, purchased u
fat in near Saudersville, Go., planted a large
poach orchard from small cutting•» ol choice
varieties. The present year, the orchard will
yi* Id about 15,000 bushels of choice peaches.
Major Moses has hitherto been sending thorn
to Savdunuli uud shipping them via steamer
to Now York. As indicated in tho premises,
however, a large quantity of fruit was lost by
delay on tho passage. Mr. H. Dempsey, of
tho Southern Express Company, who had
seen tho practical workmu ot Allegretti’s re
frigerators, suggested to M «jor Moses that it
would bo a good plan to ship his fruit iu that
way. Major Moses at once signified his de
sire to do so, and Mr. ltemproy communica
ted with Mr. Allegrelti in regard
the matter. Convinced that
Central Kail road, placed two refrigerators ca
pable of holding two hundred bushels of
peaches upon this car, and started them from
New York on Wednesday, tin* 8th inst , in
charge of M. Fontana. Mr. Moses was noti
fied of the fact. Unfortunate'v the car was
detained five days m Baltimore, through tho
negligence of oue ol the railway companies.
Major Moses had the requisite quantity ot
peaches nt ’J'ennille on the Central Railroad
at the time the car wus expected to reach that j
cay? when he com'^ndl'to iuptb^mto 1 A T me coming state faik we will give as a PaimiCM for the finest

arrived at Teunille Thursday, the peaches Lad j -*■-«-

and sent early iu th • Spring, so that the first

trade is destined to be an important one for
this section.

Edmund Halley, the pupil and lrieud of

determining this uistuucc by observations on ' 4l,u "
the traubit* of Venus.
Tbe error made ia 176:) would amount to i
100,060,000 miles when applii d to Neptune, j
and yet the error was not greater in thorn o» !

to get tho n ue length of the measuring-rod |

sun's face. Now, by noting the l mo re
quired for this black • pot t > pass
across the bun’s lace for each ob
server, astronomers can Calculate tho dis
tance required. But there is another niothod,
which docs not require tho same observer to
see both tbe first and the last contact etc.
Suppose two observers nearly in opposite ex
tremities of the earth, but in tho ill urn iu.: ted | Tuesday in Auuusr N
hemisphere. The first contact will be seen I
by ono observer before it will bo by the other,
suppose they knew tbe exact longitude ot each
place, they could afterwards correspond with
each other aud liud the txict time required
by Venus to pass Irom tho line of right ot
ono observer to tbe lino of rigut ol the oihtr
observer. Now, knowing thu precise time of
Venus, this time can be converted into sec
onds, and bonce tbe mensuriug roil determin
