DR.. Hagan, of Troy, N. Y, Expert,
Says This Of the Alleged
Davis Will.
What He Discovered by the Use
of a Very Powerful
Microscope
Sudden Termination of the Procecdlnpa
Against Dr. MonAhan, of Great Falls
-Penr0se Suspects.

BUTTE, Aug. H.-LSpecial. j. The tes-
timony in tho Davis will case to-day was
chiefly about ink. DIR. HaRan, of Troy, the
expert, was on the stand and said the al
legged will was written after the paper had
been wet. He discovered this by the use of
the microscope, which shows that the writ
ing is on top Of the effects of the wetting.
The witness also found that an erasure had
been made by u knife in the fourth line.
Had the will been written in iron ink in
1866 the writing would have been brown on
the edges and, to an extent. would have
permeated the paper and been visible on
the other side. In his Judgment the will
could not possibly be more than two years
old. He had examined the signature of A.
>. Davis with powerful microscope and
discovered that the signature was not made
with pen. but by soft instrument; that
the instrument with which the signature
was made WAS lifted from the paper no
fewer than eight times and was stopped no
fewer than sixteen times. This part Of the
testimony was objected to and the objec-
tion was sustained. The contestants also
offered to prove that by microscopic exam
ination the remnants of lead pencil tracings
can be found under the signature, but this
was not allowed. In regard to the pin holes
the witness said that the pen in writing the
letter "c'' in "Sconce" descended into pin
hole and then jumped, scattering some
blots.

FALL OF AN ATHLETE.
Ouda's Presence of Mind Saved Him Fro
Death on Washington stage

Ouda's Presence of Mind Saved Him From
Death on q Washington stage.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.-Ouda, the trapeze
performer, who is a member of the Cleve-
land minstrels, now playing an engagement
in this city. had an ugly fall at the acad-
emy OF music the other night. That he was
not killed was due to a combination of
good luck and singular presence of mind
Ouda had finished his act with the excep-
included sweep from one trapeze
to the other, twenty feet above the
stage, turning backwa somersault
Ill his flight For an instant the graceful
body was poised in the air, the fingers a
fraction of an inch from the trapeze bar,
and then it fell twenty fe ct to the stage.
The strongest nerves in the house were
shaken, but Ouda, young as he is, did not
lose his wits as he dropped toward the stage
backward. He bent his head forward on
his breast as far as he could 80 that it
should not strike the solid floor below. He
extended his hands behind him so as to re-
ceive as much of his weight as possible. He
struck with heavy thud and lay motion
less, stunned by the fall. He was carried
into the wings, where he revived moment
later.
Manager Cleveland pulled his wrist back
into place and then said: Can YOU 20 out
and show that you are not killed?"
Ouda walked steadily to the center of the
stage, bowed with smile, and the audience
breathed deep sighs of relief, as everybody
thought he had been killed. His nerve was
wonderful. Both his wrists were injured,
but not seriously. He appeared the fol-
lowing night again as usual.

How the Captain of the Panama Exposed
His Vessel.


His Vessel.
New YORK, Aug. 17.-The following dis
patch reached the Associated press from
San Salvador to-day. 1t had no signature,
but doubtless emanated from official
sources Reports published recently in
New York touching revolution in Salvador
are altogether inaccurate. They were
Doubtless based on circumstances con-
nected with the passage of several Saliva
dorean refugees from Nicaragua to Guate-
mala on board the Pacific Mail steamer
City of Panama. Among the refugees was
Losandro Letona, man who had
been guilty of common crimes and
against whom criminal charges had been
preferred in San Miguel. The court
demanded that Letona be surrendered.
The captain of the Panama, in direct vio-
lation of law, refused to deliver him, but
weighed anchor and sailed away without
previous permission from the captain of the
port. BY this act he rendered the vessel
liable to the penalty of contiscation. Such
was the origin of the false reports which
have been published. 1t should be borne
in mind that the authorities of Salvador
respected existing treaties, and made no
demand for the surrender of any other re-
fugees on board the Panama. 1t is seri
GUS matter that the government of the
United States should set our interests at
defiance though justice is manifestly on
our side. Surely, then, we have fallen on
times where the weight of force prevails
over the force of right"

Whether Russia and France Form . Close,

Alliance.
LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE st. Petersburg
agent OF the Reuters Telegraph company
has been furnished with the following: IAN
inspired denial OF the report that secret
treaty has been concluded between France
and Russia 10 made. In tho denial It is said
that neither Admiral Gervais nor any other
French or Russian representative has
signed or concluded verbally any conven-
tion between France and Russia. 1t ia also
asserted, from the same source, that no
conferences have been held on the subject,
and that the well-known approachment be-
tween France and Russia does not date
from the present time, but. it is added, was
ocoasioned long ago by international cir
s,rs s ta. ct the powers themselves
tinued to grow closer. The statement
says the visit of the French fleet to Cron-
stadt and the enthusiastic reception of the
Frenchmen only served to solennly con-
irm the good intent previously existing.
The inspire cd official deninl also asserts that
the visit of the French fleet had the effect
OF ripening the entente to such point that
u can be converted into an alliance should
the conduct of the enemies of France and
Russia render a formal treaty necessary.
1t ls stated, in conclusion, that an alliance
has not yet been concluded, nor is it in
preparation either in Paris or st. Peters
burg. Such proceedings, it is explained.
, would be superhuous and might endanger
the peace of Europe. Whether the friendly
relations existing between France and Rus
sia shall remain In the present status, or TO-
solve into stronger and more formal
agreement, depends entirely upon the gov
ernments forming the dreibund."

The Desert becomes Fertile.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 17.-H. w. Patton,
who undertook an exploration to determine
the source of the overflow of the Salton, has
returned. He made the trip from Yuma by
boat down the Colorado river. He says he
is positive the lake will be permanent. The
channel from the river to the lake is from
one hundred feet to half mile wide, and
of sufficient depth to carry an immense
body of water. The water has deposited a
vast quantity of qualite seed and rich sandy
loan III the desert and hundreds of thou
sands of acres on the border of the lake are
green with pasturaRe. Patton says the gen.
eral effect of the overflow will be- both det-
rimental and beneficial. While an immense
amount of territory hitherto unproductive
will become productive by means of irriga-
tion from the lake, yet the moisture will
cause rains to fall just at harvest time,
when they are not needed.

The Penruse Suspectk.

BUTTE, Aug. H.-[Special. l-Policeman
Edward Rodda was Oh the stand all day in
the Penrose case, His testimony was
merely corroborative of that OF Officer
Waters. He had a lease of Acquisition
mine several years and stamped his tools
with "W." When Deenev and Kelly
leased the mine Rodda left his tools there,
telling Deeney that he could use them.
Some gougers were among the tools left
there. The witness examined the piece of
steel found in the billy and said it bears the
Acquisition mark as near as he could tell.
The witness knew of no other mine in this
section using the mark. On cross exami-
nation the witness said that some of his
tools might have been stolen.

crOuH Failure nv President and
Could Not He Reelected.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special to the Herald
from Cape May, N. j., says: President Har-
rison will, before the meeting of the Rel ub-
lican national convention of 1892, declare
over his own signature in the most en-
phatic manner that he is not a candidate
for the nomination to be made by that con-
vention. The president decided upon this
course within the last two weeks, and his
purpose in calling here few days ago
Chairman Clarkson, of the national COM
mittee, and Stephen B. Elkins, was to tell
those gentlemen that they might inform
those republicans who are taking sides
either for or against the denomination of
the president that they are doing SO un-
necessarily. The decision of the president
not to permit his name to 90 before the
convention was made with some reserva-
tions. These reservations depend upon
three conditions: First, if the present bit
ter opposition within the republican
party to Harrison's renomintion shall
continue till next spring he will
withdraw; second, it Mr.. Blaine shall be
we'll and strong enough to take thenomi-
nation, and the party's demand for him
continues as strong and sincere as it ap-
pears at the present time, Mr.. Harrison
will withdraw; third, if Mr.. Blaine, having
sufficient health and strength, shall lie
willing to take the nomination, Mr.. Ear
rison will withdraw. The information
that the president has reached this decision
is from an unquestioned source as to ac-
curacy and trustworthiness. Mr.. Blaine
knows that the president occupies this ro-
sition. Mr.. Clarkson, Mr.. Elkins, Mr..
Quay and MIR. P.att know it. Mr.. Quay
has been advised not to force his Blaine
boom in Pennsylvania. and he has called a
halt The Harrison Blaine programme
which all the bosses have been given a
chance to fall in with is that no "move-
ment' shall bo instituted for the presi-
Dental aspirant neither for the president,
nor for Mr.. Blaine, nor for any other man.
if it can be prevented. The party, without
manipulation or organized efforts to infiu-
ence it, is to be permitted to make its own
choice for the presidency,

GREAT FALLS, Aug. 17.-[Spec1al.l The
preliminary examination of DR.. T. j. Mon
ahan, charged with having committed the
crime of child murder in practicing abor-
tion upon the wife of roadmaster of the
Great Northern, was called to-day in Judge
Warehouses; court. The state was repre-
sented by Attorneys Downing and Martin
and the defense by Cooper o. Pigott. The
first witnesses for the state were Drs. Welt
man and Gordon, who testified that the
woman had called upon them to have u
criminal operation performed.
The woman was then put on the stand
and swore that she had never seen DIR, Mon
ahan in her life before yesterday, when she
met him in the Office of his ATTORNEYS.
Cooper d. Pigott. This practically ended
the case, and Attorney Martin moved the
dismissal of the defendant from lack of
sufficient testimony to hold him over. He
then asked, in behalf of the state, that the
case of the state against the woman for
contempt of court be continued till to-mor-
row and that she be put under sufficient
bonds to prevent her from leaving the town.
He stated that his object in asking this was
to afford him sufficient time to bring an &C
tion for perjury against her. As the Judge
seemed disinclined to grant this, MIR. Mar
tin stated that he had never in all his ex-
perience as prosecuting attorney been re-
fused by court continuance when asked
for in the interests of Justice; that there
were number of persons in the court to
whom she had admitted having been treated
by DIR. Monahan, the sheriff among the
number, and that he would rescind his mo-
tion for dismissal of the case against Mona
han and ask that both cases be continued
till tomorrow to give him chance to pur-
sue a new line in the prosecution of the
case, as the woman's testimony was a COM
plete surprise to him. Judge Morehouse
denied both requests and dismissed both
actions.
