DENNETT HrA"1~9 DEFERRED.


 Friends of the Na,... ldet Speak of His High Honor.
 washington, Dec t6.-The further hearing in the case of Naval Cadet Dennett of Maine before Secretary Her bert has been deferred until Tuesday next. Dennett Is charged with having seen or used the paper of 6 fellow cadet and board reported to the superintendent its belief that Dennett was guilty and recommended his dis missal.
 Dennett's friends have laid the papers in the case before Secretary Herbert and claim that there is no evidence to sustain the charge. The classmates of young Dennett have united in a testi- monial to his high character and probity and the former superintendent of the Naval academy adds testimony that during his superintendency Den nett had always stood very high in his class and also in tha esteem of his superior officers. .. Dennett's friends express full confi- dence in their ability to disprove the charges and induce Secretary Herbert to disapprove of the recommendation of disnisssal. If this Is done Dennett will stand good chance to graduate at the end of the term.

He Prefers Hanging to an Imprisonment
 for Life.
 Hartford, Dec. 16.-Jack Cronin, the murderer of Albert Skinner of South Windsor, who is to die upon, the new gallows at the state prison Tuesday morning, spent his last Sunday on earth in a quiet manner, devoting sev- eral hours to-day in religious devotion with tds spiritual advisor, the Rev. Father Lynch of Hartford, and two Sisters of Mercy from the convent in Hartford, who called at the prison this morning and remained with Cronin until late this afternoon.
 Cronin was as cheerful to-day as he has been during the last week, and shows no signs of nervousness on his approaching doom. This afternoon Cronin said to the warden that he was glad that his sentence was that of death. which, he said, he preferred rather than spending the rest of his life in prison.
 The only relatives who have called to see Cronin were his half-brother's wife and his half-sister. They called on Friday and took farewell of the condemned man.

PREFERS TO BE AT HOME.
A Third Nomination Is .epugnant to Ex
 President Harrison.

President Harrison.
 Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 16.-George w. Turner, editor of the New York Re- corder, has been in the city two days in close consultation with ex-President Harrison. He said last night just be- fore leaving for New York that he had come to Indianapolis to confer with Mr. Harrison, and the subject of his possible nomination by the republican convention in 1896 was discussed. MT. Turner made the following statement:
 Nothing could be more repugnant to Mr. Harrison than a third nomination, and he would much prefer to remain at his home here in Indianapolis and practice law. He needs no vindication, for the last two years have abundantly vindicated him and his policy, and for him to undergo the trying ordeal of a presidential campaign, with it's subse- quent turmoil and trouble, would be a severe hardship.
 Any report to the effect that he has positively prohibited the use of his name as a. presidential candidate is un- true. It would not be the first time that he has sacrificed himself for the interest of the country. He has his own favorite or favorites for the posi- tion, who will be loyalty supported by him when the time comes for action"
 When asked if this last paragraph did not admit of the deduction that MT. Harrison would decline to enter the race and would, before the convention met, publicly announce his preference among the candidates, MT. Turner re- sponded: 's
 "rt would admit of, that deduction, but would not wish to be quoted as saying it.' .r tt
 It seems that Mr. Harrison will not be candidate unless great pressure is brought to bear upon him.

THE CAPTAIN OF YALE FOOTBALL
 ELEYEy VAS NOT BRUTAL.

Thorne TestIfl-d That it Was Hs who
 Tackled Wo thin ton of Harvard and
 That Hinkey Was Mauy Yards in the
 Rear at tn Time If the Fall.
 New York, Dec. 16.-Upon the close of the football season the Yale Foot ball association. in view of the charges Of rough playing made against Captain Hinkey of the Yale football eleven. re- quested a committee. composed of Pro- lessor E. L. Richards, Walter D. Camp. Henry E. Rowland. George A. Adee, Howard Knapp and D. L. Richards, jr.. and others. men of recognized ex- perience in football matters, to inves- tigate the charges. These gentlemen found that all of the charges O. rough- ness in the Springfield game have cen- tered In the alleged wilfm injury Of Wrightington by Captain Hinkey. The officials of the game mentioned there- upon submitted their testimony. The umpire, Alexander Moffat, stated that the injury was a pure accident which might have happened at any time and that it was impossible to place any responsibility, Llnesman George D. Pratt in his statement declared that he saw no unnecessary roughness in the game and that Hinkey was no rougher than any of the other men from his point of view, and the assistant lines- man, I. McD. Garfield, says in tds declaration that he cannot believe that Wrghtington's injury was other than accidental.
 Anson M. Beard, left tackle of the Yale eleven, goes into the details of the play in which Wrightington re- ceived his injuries and his statement Is as follows:
 The play in which Wrightington was injured occurred about ten yards from Harvard's goal. nearly in front of the goal posts. Thorne had punted from about Harvard's forty-five-yard line. Wrightington caught the ball on the fly and started to run towards the Harvard side of the field. He was run ming diagonally across the field and I was running straight down the field in the direction of ,Harvard's goal line. He had run about ten yards when l tackled, both of us being on a dead run. made a driving tackle, jumping and tackling him about the knees. He fell on his side, falling towards Har- yards goal. It was a hard tackle, Wrightington striking the ground heavily.
 Before made the tackle I heard Hinkey some distance behind me shout ing to me to tackle. Wrightlngton. Wrightington got up almost immediate ly, working his shoulder. I had heard the umpire's whistle for Harvard's off, side play and when I looked back saw Hinkey for the time during that play fully ten yards back towards our own goal running towards the umpire, who had blown his whistle near the center of the field. Hinkey was claim ing a penalty for violation of the rules by Harvard, which the umpire allowed while Wrightington was being helped off the field by the Harvard players"

 Berlin, Dec. 16.-The governor of the Zwichau district has dissolved the so- cial democratic organization within his Jurisdiction, on the ground that 1t is a society without the rights of corpora ton. Wilhelm stolle is the social dem ocrat who sits in the reichstag for the constituency.
 This summary action, together with Minister Koeller's defiant utterances in the reichstag, are taken by many rad icals and social democrats to indicate that the government is steering straight for a. parliamentary conflict. Several opposition deputies say that the en- peror evidently seeks to govern with a federal council as suggested by Coun- cillor Roessler in recent pamphlet, but without reichstag.

What a Leading Merchant Says on tha
 Effects of seasonable Weather on Trade.
 Speaking of the state of business this season, as compared with former years, Ewen Mcintyre, the dry goods mer- chant, said last night that without boasting in the slightest, his business for September, October and most of November had been very much larger than at any time before in the history of his store. 1.-The best thing for mer- chants trade" said MT. Mcintyre, lis seasonable weather. By that mean," said he, "cold weather for winter, warm for summer. Reasonable weather always promotes trade. To illustrate: If we should have good snapping cold weather this week all our merchants would find their holiday trade core spondingly increased. This present warm spell does not help trade"
 MT. Mcintyre said he expected to get into his elegant big new store next month. He will still control the rent- ing of his present store. No doubt there will be a host of applicants for so desirable a business stand and for a big carpet store, for instance, there is no better location in New England outside of Boston.
