St. John, X. F. The Roosevelt, Commander Peary's steamer, was badly damaged by ice in the north, and may not get to North Sydney before 25. This is the news September brought by Captain Neilson of the fishing steamer Taff, which has arrived here from Battle Harbor, Lab rador. The Roosevelt struck a rock while entering Battle Harbor, and was fast for six hours, but not seriously damaged. The Taff was in Battle Harbor when the Roosevelt arrived from Indian Harbor. The Roosevelt put in to take on a supply of coal and also to give Commander Peary an oppor tunity to send details of his far northern trip to the United States. While the Roosevelt was stranded Captain Neilseti went aboard to offer his assistance and was thanked by Commander Peary and Captain that they Bartlett, who decided would be able to work the steamer free at high water. Captain Neilsen says that Commander Peary and Captain Bartlett showed him over the ship and told him that the pole had been reached. When Captain Neil-seasked Peary if he was certain he had found the pole the commander declared: "I got there; you may rest assured of that." When the commander of the Taff asked Peary what he thought of Dr. Cook's claim, that Peary replied Cook's Eskimos had assured him that Cook scarcely went out of sight of land. Neilsen said that the Roosevelt was badly battered and that her hull showed the bruises made by jagged pieces of ice. He was informed that it was the intention of Peary and Bartlett to run the Roosevelt to harbor, where she would remain for ten or twelve days, so that the men would not be hampered in their work by stormy weather, and that the expedition expected to reach Sydney about September 25. The crew of the Roosevelt are all well, but look thin and tired and to Captain Neilsen the most wort looking member of the expedi- tionyis Commander Peary himself.

With only the inti mate friends of the family present, services over the body of Edward H. were king, Harriman, the railway held on Sunday in the mansion he had never lived to see finished, after which the body was tenderly laid In its last resting place on the Arden hillside. The rulers of Wall street came from New York to pay their last tribute, but the most prominent part in the ceremonies was taken by the men who knew him best as a country squire and master of the great estate, which covers 4:1,000 acres of hill and valley. His general superintendent, his master carpenter.- his master mason and the managers and assistant managers of his dairies, his fanns anrL, his trotting stables bore his coffin. The funeral was private, and only of those who were personal trends the family and had received invita-ton- s were adfrom Mrs. Harrman mitted. The party arrived at Arden at o:15 o clock on a special n train. The first service was holy communion, celebrated at 10 a. m. by the Rev. J. Holmes McGuiness, for Mrs. Harriman and her children at their home on Tower Hill. At 11 o'clock came a public memorial service at St John's church for the employes of the farni! and parishioners, who, on account of lack' of space, were unable to attend the funeral service later. Elaborate precautions were taken to preserve the privacy of the afternoon service. Several score of employes aided by a number of policemen guarded all roads over which the funeral procession passed, and kept watch at intervals of twenty yards around the patch of woods which includes the Harriman burial plot. Eight carriages followed the hearse from Arden ho,use. The regular funeral service of church was conducted by Dr. Guiness. assisted by the Rev. G. Nelson, archdeacon of the cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. A male quartette and the choir of Grace churchv New York, sang "Abide with Me," and "There Is a Land of Pure Delight," Mr. Harriman's favorite hymns. The service lasted but twenty minutes. Then the bearers carried the casket to the burial plot, one hundred yards up the hill. It was 5 o'clock when Archdeacon Nelson took a handful of earth Iprinkling it over the bed of lit that hid the metal casket, consigned the body of Edward H. Harriman to the earth on the spot he loved best. l BELIEVES IN HUSBAND. ExCook's Wife Has Faith in plorer, But Refuses to be Interviewed. A. York.
