OtteeT Beimont's Brothers Had but One
objection to HIS Marriage.
NEW YORK. N. Y, Feb. 9.-The Times
tomorrow will publish the following: A
close friend of the Belmonts recently re-
sented the insinuation that Oliver II. P.
Beimonts two brothers, Perry and Au-
gust, have not been loyal to him since his
marriage with the divorced wife of VIII
liam K. Vanderbilt, and is authority for
the true story of breaking off of relations
1t appears that Perry and August very
naturally desired their brother to induce
his wife to give up the alimony from her
former husband, which is in the form of
yearly allowance. The expression of this
wish on their part has given great offense
to the Oliver Belmonts. When society
noted the fact that the elder brothers were
not among the guests at the wedding it
naturally inferred that they looked with
no great favor on the match. But it is
stated that they had no serious objection
other than the one named.
