High Fence Separates the Dennisons
and KOiefieIds,

When Alonzo Denison, of Upper Mag
nolia avenue, Jersey City Heights, in
herited some $4,000, he built another
house between his residence and that OF
his neighbors, the Holefelds. The new
house is painfully near the dividing line
between the properties. The Holef1elds
say that it encroaches as much as two
inches on their land, and there is trouble
Mrs Holefield said last night
'.They put nine windows opening on
our three-foot alley. 1t wasn't nice or
neighborly to put in so many. We
couldn't stand that"
And the Holefields didn't. They just
put up board fence tweny 1eet nigh,
completely shutting off the light from
all but two of the Dennison windows.
This did not disturb Alonzo himself.
He said to a friend that he didn't ex-
pect anything but ventilation from those
windows anyhow.
When, Mrs Holefield was told that her
enemy had been advised to extend the
fence to the, street and SO get square,
she answered promptly:-.'He can build
a fence into the lower region If he wants
to- I know what we'll do then" She ad-
mitted that the matter had assumed
some importance in the neighborhood.
The head of the Dennison family said
that as he was tired of paying taxes
lust to keep a lawn for his neighbors,
the Holefields, he simply put up the
house on this lawn. 1--WE were neighbors
for six and one-half years. he said last
night; but since the birth of this fence
we don't know each other"

MEXICO'S WAR SCARE.
] No Battle with Guatemala Vet and
Probably None to Come.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. s, 1894.-A special to
the "Globe- Democrat" from the City of
Mexico says that the official Government
daily states that no engagement has oc-
Cured with Guternala over the interna-
tional boundary dispute, as was reported
from the southern border. The Daily
Universal today publishes the following
telegram, received by wire from Tuxtla,
State of Chiapas, on the Gutemalan
frontier
General Lopez has just returned from
a reconnaissance of the frontier line with
several engineers of the army. He is of
the opinion that there will be no war
with Gutemala, but says Mexico will
sternly uphold her rights. The Cute
malans have finally retreated from Aqua
Azul, which they invaded and held il
legally. The Mexican troops which have
been stationed at San Jose have been or
dered to the coast
There are many rumors of war in that
locality, as result of the change in
location for troops. The Legislature of
ChiapaS has paSaSed a decree authoriz-
ing the Governor of the State to augment
the State forces and, in case of war with
Guatemala, to place them at the dis
posal of the general Government. to use
either within or without the State as
needed The Governor is also authoriz-
ed to assist the general Government with
sustenance for its troops, munitions of
war, or in any other manner necessary
to sustain the dignity of the Republic.
