GRANNIS QUITS.
HIS ATLAS BANK GOES INTO VOL
UNTARY LIQUIDATION.
An Old aud Able Bank Manageable Has
The Confidence of all Chicago, But is
Disabled by Rheumatism

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-W. C. ID. Grannis,
president of the Atlas National bank,
which istitution, it was announced in
these dispatches last night would go
into voluntary liquidation, has been
identified with the banking interests
of Chicago for nearly a quarter of
century. In 1873 he was director of
the Union National bank, and in 1876
was chosen its vice president.
His marked abilities as field man.
ager were duly acknowledged by the
directors and in 1888 he was elected
president of the bank. Mr.. Grannis
continued in this position until 1886
when he resigned to inaugurate the
Atlas National bank, of which he has
been the president and directing gen.
ius ever since. His reputation for
business sagacity and integrity has
been everywhere acknowledged.
In the present condition of affairs
Mr.. Grannis enjoys the esteem and
confidence of every banker in Chica-
20 and their offer of liquidation is an
example of confidence imposed in him.
Mr.. Grannis is about 60 years old.
He was born in Hatley, province of
Quebec. After serving as a clerk in
a local drug store he came to Chicago
in 1852. He was first employed in
the wholesale grocery house of NJ. d.
Gilman and company. In few years
he obtained an interest in the business
and the firm became Gilman, Grannis
and Fairwell. He remained in the
firm until 1873 when he withdrew to
enter the banking business. OF late
years Mr.. Grannis has been suffering
from severe attacks of rheumatism
which have prevented him from at
tending to the usual business of the
bank.
The last public statement of the con-
ditiOn of the Atlas National bank, was
given in response to the call of Comp
troller Eckles, after the National Bank
of Illinois closed, and involved deal

HAVANA SWEARS
THAT THE AMERICAN LYING PRESS
MAKES TROUBLE.
Insurgents Swarm Around Havana and
Cuena in Mantangas is Routed
By the Insurgents,

Cincinnati, Dec. 2S.-The CONNER
cial Tribune's special from Key West
says: The Havana morning papers
are savage in tone against the Unit
ed States, and especially against that
policy that permits filibustering stea-
mers to leave port and also the eager
ness of the American press to print
anything to discredit Spain as they
put it. The story of the Three Friends
as printed in New York, is used as a
text. La Lucia is especially bitter
and sarcastic in it's commands that
'the mercenary lying press is to
blame for half the war troubles"
Attacks on the suburban towns of
Havana are becoming regular thing
now.
Saturday night firing was distinctly
heard while the flames of burning bull
dings could be plainly seen. The author
tiles sent out extra troops last night
for guard duty.
The advices from Artemisa report
severe fighting as Rivera's forces
have made several dashes on the
Spanish columns and in two instances
caused considerable loss.
Col. San Martins troops were forced
back Saturday morning by a strong
force of insurgents who drove them
half a mile, until re-inforcements ar
rived and turned the tide of the bat
tie.
A fight is reported to have occurred
near Pinar del Rio City Friday, which
is claimed by the Spanish as vic
tory, they report that they cut to pie
ces a large insurgent band.
The battalion of Cuena, near Matan-
zas, was set upon Thursday by large
Cuban force and compelled to retreat
under the guns of the fort at Matan-
zas. They lost 26 men wounded and
killed. ThesCuban loss was about
the same.
The Spanish lost their field equip
ment of tents and many large and
small guns. 5'$t @iFs8s

4 CLOSE CALL.
But Willie Howell's Guiding Star Was

But Willie Howell's Guiding Star Was
Over Him Yesterday.
That Willie Howell is walking
around on two legs today he can thank
kind Providence. Fate is not intend
ed for him yet, for, if so, yesterday
was an opportunity for its deadly
work
Willie is a newsboy at the Sunset
depot and was preparing for the trip
west before the delayed train from
the east arrived. While a baggage
coach was being moved past the pas
senger depot, Willie tried to throw a
heavy box on the front platform.
The depot floor was wet from the
rain and slippery and the boy fell.
His legs were across the track and
the wheels We're moving toward him.
Baggagemaster Kent saw the boys
peril and his heart almost stopped at
the sight. A second more and Willie
would have been in bed today with
two Iacerated stumps instead Of n
pair of sound legs. His time had not
yet arrived, and in the future Willie
will be more careful.

Arrested In Houston And Was Known
In San Antonio.
Special to Daily Light.
Houston, Dec. 2S.-S. w. Logwood,
was arrested here late Saturday night
. and is now locked up in the county
Jail on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenseS. The charge
was made by man named J. F.Weed
and the story is that Logwood rep
resented to Wade that he travelled for
a Dallas house and upon this repre-
sentation he secured loan of 500
from Weed, giving the latter a check
for the amount. Weed wrote to the
house for information concerning
Logwood's connection with the house
and received the statement that they
did not owe Logwood cent and
would honor no draft of his.
Weed thereupon preferred charge
against Logwood before Justice of the
Peace Fitze and later Logwood was
arrested by Deputy Constable Wynne
in the lobby of the Capitol hotel. Log
wood claims that there is a mistake
somewhere.
lockwood is well known in San An
tonic, where he resided for several
years. He held several positions
there and was at one time with the
house Of George Koerner & Co.
He has been up here for about two
weeks and to old acquaintance, for
mer San Antonians, who he has met
he has given it out that he was travel
ing for New York stationary house.
He told one that he intended going to
San Antonio from here and that he
expected to spend Christmas in that
city.

is a great aid to him. Mr. Watson has
great confidence in her judgment and
never makes a political move without
consulting her.
When Mr.. Watson first met his pres
ent helpmeet, her name was Miss Geor-
gia Durham, and her father was one of
the stanch business men of McDuffie
county, Ga. They were married in 1878
and now have two children. Mrs. Wat
son is 80 years Of age, although she does
not look older than 80.
Her pleasant manners and bright and
cheerful disposition make her home very
attractive. She was very popular in
Washington when Mr. Watson was a
member of the Fifty second congress.
Mrs Watson likes Washington and has
always expected to return there some
day.
Mr.. Watson's devotion to his wife is
a matter Of common comment in Thorn
son. 1t is a devotion that he is not
ashamed Of In a campaign speech at
Augusta, Ga, when his constituents
gave him rousing reception, Mr.. Wat
son said:
81 thank you not only for myself, but
in the name of my good little wife, who
has shared every hour of my toll and
without whose company I should have
been weak indeed. If I have been able
to be true to you, which l think I have,
if have been able never to forget that
down in the old Tenth district were the
warm hearts of the people whose place
I represented in the national halls who
wished their views put before the coun-
try, it was VERY largely due to that part
of the firm of Watson & Wife which
was the better member of the two.

Mr.. Norton has been Unidentified with
the Populist party from its inception
and is credited with giving the Popu-
lists their creed.
He is native of Vermont, but. has

greenbackers a book entitled ''Ten Men

hit.
Mr.. Norton is picturesque character.
His handsome face and soldierly air
would command admiration and atten-

evinces a kindly manner. His mustache
is nearly white, and his bushy hair is
