O.
"Somewhere about there, gentle
men, there is going to be watch
factory"
The factory was bulltsoon after, but
the company was not prosperous, and
ia 1857 was forced to assign. The firm
became Appleton, Tracy s. Co., and
Mr. Dennisou continued as superin-
tendent until 1861. In 1859 the con-
cern became the American Watch
Company. After severing his connec-
tion with the company, Mr.. Dennison
formed, with A. o. Biglow, the Ire
mont Watch Company, but in 1866 he
retired and went to Zurich. For sew
eral years he was engaged In an unsuc-
cessful attempt to introduce Ameri-
can methods into Swiss watch making.
Afterwards he went to England and
helped to organize the English Watch
Company. In 1873 he went into the
business of nuiacturing watch cases
in Birmipgham. The firm of Depni-
son, Wigley & Co. is said to be now the
largest of the kind in England.
Besides his ingenuity and indomita-
bic energy, Mr.. Dennison was in every
thing else typical Yankee. In dress,
appearance, and manner he remained
so during his twenty years residence
in England. He was a man of clear
and keen judgment and Of wonderful
personal magnetism. He. was some
visionary and always an enthusiast
which made him good organizer Of
new ventures, but added little to his
personal wealth, which was not great
at his death. He leaves a widow, two
daughters, and two sons. Both of the
sons are now in the watch business in
England. Oua trip to America, which
he made few years ago, Mr.. Denni-
son received an ovation at every fac
tory he visited, and watch makers
throughout the country regarded him
as sort of patron saint.

Ord cred Ont of Cnha.

Key West, Fla, Dec. 2.-Ignacio Be- lancourt and Ignacio Agramonte, with their families, passed through this city on the steamer Whitney yesterday morn ing en route for New Orleans.

Belancourt is a wealthy planter, having several planta- tions near Puerto Principe and ranch, with thousands of cattle He and his family were passengers on the train from Puerto Principe which was blown up with dynamite near Nuevitas.

Demands were made on these gentlemen by the Spanish government to contrib ute funds with which to build forts. They refused and were ordered out of the coun- try. They say on the 18th Generals Go- meg and Maceo laid siege to and cap- tured four small forts near Puerto Prin- cipe. The Spanish commanders have since been court-marshaled and ordered to be shot.

A NEW YORK SENSATION.
Walter s. Langerman Was Convicted of Rape Upon False Testimony-His Accuser
 Admils She Lied.

New York. Dec. 2.-There was a great sensation in part of the court of general sessions this morning when Recorder Golf called Walter s. Langerman to the bar for sentence. Langerman was con- victed on last Tuesday for rape in the first degree for criminally assaulting Barbara Aub. When Langerman was alled to the bar this morning the re- corder,. instead of sentencing him to at least fifteen years. as almost everyone expected startled the throng of specta- tors by saying: Barbara Aub has ad- mitted to me in an affidavit that Langer- man is innocent of the charge of rape upon which he was convicted. She al- most admits that her testimony at the trial against this man was entirely false. Langerman is therefore discharged upon the charge of rape upon his own recogni- zance He stands committed, however, to the house of detention as a witness in probable cases against Barbara Aub for perjury"
 Langerman sobbed aloud as the re- corder spoke. Barbara Aub was brought into court a little later. The recorder committed her to the city prison to await the action of the grand jury. He said to her: You have done more harm to the law than you did to Langerman."

AK. WARD CAPTURED. Memphis Alleged Embezzler Is on His
 Way to New Orleans


 Washington. Dec. 2.-A. K. Ward. the alleged embezzler from Memphis. Tenn, was arrested yesterday on board of a steamer at Livingston, Guatemala. by the chief of the Memphis police.
 The information came in an official tel egram to the state department. Ward is now on his way to New Orlea ps, T in custody
 There is no extradition treaty between the United States and Guatemala, and it is presumed the Guatemalan govern ment consented to surrender Ward as a matter of international comity. It was recently reported that Ward had been captured at Puerto Cortez. Honduras, and in the absence of an extradition agreement the government of Honduras did as Guatemala is supposed to have done. It was learned subsequently,. how ever. that Ward managed to get out of Honduras. and his wherea bouts were un- known until the telegram containing the news of his arrest was received today. A warrant authorizing the Memphis chief of police to bring Ward to the United States was recently sent that official by President Cleveland

Al TENNESSEE FEUD.
The Two Principals Are Probably Fatally Wounded--The Sons Fled.

The Two Principals Are Probably Fatally 7 Wounded-The Sons Fled.
 Chattanooga, Dec. "A street duel, the sequel of feud of long standing, re- suited today in the fatal wounding of William Smith and Jesse Bruce and the probable arrest of three sons of the lat ter as accessories to the murder. All the participants live in the village of St. Elmo, in the Seventeenth district of this county. Smith is a blacksmith, while Bruces home adjoins his shop. Bruce laid in wait for Smith this morning, and ss the latter dismounted from his horse Bruce began shooting at him with re- yolyer. The second shot struck Smith in the right temple and embedded itself in the skull. Smith, who was prepared for trouble, fired one shot in return. As Bruce fell, with a bullet just above the heart, his 14-year-old son, Charley Bruce, appeared in the doorway with Win chester and followed up the assault by firing five shots in rapid succession, all going off the mark at Smith, who took refuge in neighboring house. The three Bruce boys, all armed with guns, kept watch on the house for time, but Smith failing to come out they fled to avoid ar rest The senior Bruce was arrested on the charge of assault with intent to kill, but was allowed to make bond, owing to his serious condition. Officers are search ing for the Bruce boys. The enmity ex- isting between the men dates back to a dispute over an account against Bruce for services. Afterwards the latter charged Smith with enticing his daugh- ter away from home. which he denied, but later grievance seems to be 5eal- ousy of Bruce's wife's attention to Smith. The shooting caused great excitement, as it occurred on the turnpike running through the heart of town.

It appears that the navy depart ment can save $6o0,000 by building both the Kearsarge and her sister ship here, instead of awarding one to the Paclhc slope, where still another additional ex- pense would result from paying the freight across the continent of all the armor and equipment.

FROM THE CAPITAL.
The Circuit Court Dealing With the Randolph License Cases Montgomery News in
 General.

Montgomery, Dec. 2.-(Special.) )-ln the circuit court here today the eases of the state vs. D. Fleming, Al Galatas and others, on account of licenses alleged to have been paid to the late probate judge, F. c. Randolph, for which no credit was given, were called. The first case taken up was that against Dave Fleming, who is charged up with three years licenses, aggregating 5000.
 Hon. A. A. Wiley, representing MT. Fleming, presented demurrers to the complaint, alleging that the claim for a license was not civil contract collecta- ble at law. That license was prlVl- lege tax, carrying with 1t a penalty for non-payment, and 1t was provided that should it not be paid there should be a penalty of three times the sum of the H. cense, and that it's collection could be en- forced by criminal prosecution. It diff fered in this particular from tax. The auditor is authorized by law to institute suit for the collection of taxes, but the statute does not authorize him to sue for the collection of licenses.
 The court heard Captain Wiley In sup port of the demurrer, and when he con cluded rendered his decision, sustaining the demurrer in the cases against MT. Fleming.
 The attorney-general gave notice Of an appeal to the supreme court. All the other cases are dependent on the result in the case against MT. Fleming. About $7000 or $S000 are involved in these cases.
 The defendants in all these cases claim that payment was made to Judge Ran dolph. but admit that no licenses were issued for the years for which suit is brought.
