NEVER TRIED TO PREJUDICE CHILD.

Judge Rogers las busy all day in
hearing testimony i'm the Grant contro-
versy for the custody OF the little child,
Hazel Grant. The case is being gone
into very thoroughly and this is neces-
sary owing to the very contradictory
statements made in the testimony Of
witnesses. Judge Rogers seems to be
determined that the custody of the
child. which has been already three
times disputed shall be disposed of in
the manner best for her interests con-
sstent with the law and the rights of
the parties. DR.. Grant was on the wit
ness stand several hours today and he
strongly attacked the character of his
wife.
DIR. Grant was the first witness to
take the stand this morning. He de-
scribed his visit to sandy Fenners
and said he told the folks in charge of
the hotel that the case looked good
deal like put up job" Some of the
servants did not care to go as wit
nesses and he took their names. The
doctor denied certain statements made
by Hill and other witnesses about talk
between him and the Thomas woman
in the room at the hotel, and said Hill
looked very ferocious and made several
threats. Witness denied he ever made
any inpropef-su suggestions to "a Mrs.
Wood, whose deposition was read at the
beginning of the hearing over a week
ago. He denied also making any i'm
proper suggestions TO another witness
or of trying TO accomplish his purpose

not know OF the oVertures for peace,

NOTHING ODD
In Erie's Action-First Break II
Twenty Years.

In speaking of the reduced rate
yesterday one of the Erie officials
said he failed to see anything odd in
it, says the Cleveland Leader. He
said that all the lines that run direct
to Philadelphia and are entering into
the GAR. business have a rate be-
tween this city and Philadelphia of
$l1. They also have a rate from the
City of Brotherly Love to New York
of So. If these two are added to-
gether it simply makes the rate that
the Erie has asked for its round trip
from this territory direct to New
York, the only difference in the
business being that the passengers
by the southern route have the stop
off at Philadelphia and those who go
by the Erie do not.
There has been good deal of talk
about reconsidering the rate made
by the Erie and of powerful persua-
sion being brought on the Erie offic-
ials to induce them to withdraw it.
1t seems now that there is but one
condition on which the Erie would
consent. This is that the lines run
ming to New York through Philadel-
phia shall withdraw their rate of So
to New York from Philadelphia for
the time that the veterans are i'm
camp at the sleepy city. The Erie
says that it is not going to sit quietly
and watch all the eastern business
being eaten up by the Philadelphia
lines, while it has no fOothold and no
part in the proceedings. Just what
action these roads will take when
this stand is taken is not known, but
it is supposed that they will ask the
Erie to attend to it's own business.
The open rate to New York will be
the first break over of the iron-clad
rules for twenty years, and the rail-
road men are anxious to prevent it
if they can. They say that it will
eat into the regular fall business, as
all the merchants will wait until
that time to go East to do their win
ter buying.

TRoNSoE, Island of Tromsoe, Nor
way. Aug. 1S.-Walter Wellman and
the survivors OF the polar expedition
led by HIM arrived here OH the steamer
Capella having successfully completed
their explorations in Franz Josef Land.
Mr.. Wellman has discovered import
ant new lands and many islands.
The expedition brings grim story Of
Arctic tragedy. In the autumn of 1895
an outpost called Port Mckinley was
established i'll latitude 81. 1t was a
house built of rocks and rooted over
with walrus hide. Two Norwegians,
Paul Bjoervig and Bert Bentzeen, the
latter of whom was with Nansen on the
Fran, remained there.
The main party wintered iu can
vas covered hut called Harmsworth
House at Cape Tegethoff, ON the south
ern point at Halls island, latitude so.
About the middle of February, before
the rise of the sun to its winter height,
Mr. Wellman, with three Norwegians
and 10 dogs, started north. 1t was the
earliest sledge journey on record i'll that
high latitude.
On reaching Port Mckinley, Mr..
Wellman found Bentzeen dead, but
Bjoervig, according to promise, had kept
the body in the house, sleeping beside it
through two months of Arctic darkness.
Notwithstanding his terrible experience
the survivor was safe and cheerful.
Pushing northward through rough ice
and severe storms, with a continuous
temperature for ten days between 40
and 30 degrees below zero, the party
fnr,nd 1oyl, r>f
island, where Nansen landed in 1895.
By the middle of March all hands
were confident of reaching latitude 81
or IS, if not the pole itself.
Then began succession of disasters.
Mr.. Wellman, while leading the party,
fell into snow covered crevasse, seri-
ously lnjurlng one of his legs and COM
pelling retreat.
Two days later the party was reused
at midnight by anicequake under them,
due to pressure. In a few moments
neiny dogs We're crushed and the sledges
destroyed. The members of the expedi-
ton narrowly escaped with their lives,
though they managed to save their pre-
ciOus sleeping bags and some dogs and
provisions.
On Mr.. Wellman's condition becom-
ing didr uluS. dS luHdIuulaUlOn set III,
the brave Norwegians dragged him oil
& sledgt, by forced marches, nearly 2OG
miles to the headquarters, arriving
there early last April.
Mr.. Wellnan is still unable to walk
and viii probably be permanently
crippled.
After reaching headquarters other
members Of the expedition explored re-
gions hitherto unknown, and important
scientific work was done by Leutenant
Evelyn B. Baldwin of the United States
weather bureau, DR.. Edward Hofma of
Grand Haven. Mich, and A. Harlan of
the United States coast survey.
The expedition killed II bears and
many walruses.
The Capella arrived at Cape Tege-
thof i'll search of the expedition on
July 81 last. On Aug. 8 she met the
Stella Polar. bearing the expedition
headed by Prince Luigi, Duke of
Abruzzi. which had sailed from Arch
angel to reconnoiter northwest Franz
Josef land and to meet, if possible, the
Weilman expedition.

found no trace III Franz Josef land of

FORGERY AGAINST DREYPUS
Austrian Atiaciie Denied Authenticity of
r Letter Used by Cavaignac and
Others In Testimony.

PARIS. Aug. lS.-A special edition of
The Figaro exposed another alleged
forgery in the Dreyfus case by publish
ing the following telegram from Ems:
The letter of Nov. 80, 1897, attributed
to me ard reproduced In The Figaro of
aug. t6. 1899, is a forgery.

The letter referred to was one from

ian attaches. were trying to make out
that it was not Dreyfus who was giving
them information, and adding that he
had no belief in these protestations. NJ.
Cavaignac, the former minister of war,
in his testimony made a great point of
this. 1t was mentioned by Generals
Mercier and Roget.
Commenting upon the forgery The
Figaro said:

| FAKE
Interview Published
To Create Discord In
Ranks of Democracy.
Chairman R. |. Andrew
Says It's a Lie
Manufactured In the Mind of
Reporter.
Absolutely False From Beginning
to End.

The Beacon's fake political re-
porter is beginning his work a trifie
earlier than usual this year.
Thursday that paper contained a
sample of his pipe dreams, an al
legged interview with Robert L. An
drew, Chairman of the Democratic
County Executive Committee.
1t was claimed that Mr.. Andrew
had stated that he believed Mayor
W. E. Young and City Clerk Charles
Isbel were working for the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Mclean, that they had
control of the city, that Mayor
Young was making canvass in the
hope of reaping some political bene-
fit and that a majority of Summit
county's delegation would be Mr..
Mclean.
1.-The article is an internal lie, s"
said Chairman Andrew to a repre-
sentative of the DEMOCRAT Friday
morning. 1T is manufactured from
beginning to end. A few days ago 1
met Beacon reporter on street
car. He asked me how Summit
county's delegation to the State con-
vention would stand. To that 1 an
swered: That is a hard question.
In the country believed the Kill
bourne sentiment prevails 1t was
evident that the reporter was trying
to pump me, and to the balance of
his questions 1 replied that did not
know. The statement quoting me
as saying that Mayor Young and
City Clerk Isbell were working for
Mr.. Mclean is absolutely false, in
keeping with the balance of the arti-
Gle. The reporter who wrote the al
legged interview is liar. L did say
that 1 did not know how Mayor
Young stood. L have not tried to
find out. AS chairman of the Coun-
ty Executive committee, am not
taking an active part in the matter
of the delegation to the Democratic
State convention. That is no part of
my duties, in fact it would be un-
warranted interference on my part
to do so. The delegation will be
named by the Democratic voters of
this county. After they have named
their candidates for county offices 1
shall do all that can to bring about
a Democratic victory in Summit.
The attempt of the Beacon to stir up
discord by the printing of malicious
lies is contemplate piece of work"
Mr.. Andrew was indignant. His
statement was made in vigorous
manner. O
