CAMPAIGN FUEL.
Captain Lyons and the Cannons. Hold a
Hot Eebate.


Captain Lyons aud the Cannons' Hold a
Hot Eebate.
The first political debate of THE mu-
nicipal campaign took place at o'clock
last evening in the office of the Cannon
brothers. The parties to the argu-
merit were Capt. Gregory NJ. Lyons,
John A. Cannon and Alderman Hayes
Cannon. The three gentlemen named
had been discussing the matter at
Lynch's saloon and then went together
over to the office Of the Cannon broth
ers in the Beaver block, East Granite
street. Captain Lyons declared that
the convention, just held at the Audi
forum, was not a republican conven-
ton: that democrats sat i'm IL and DEM
ocrats were nominated for office. and
that he thought every true republican
ought TO support Schatzlein for alder
man In the Fourth ward. He asked
the Cannons 10 support Schatzlein. but
they declined and said they would sup
port the nominees of the convention.
Lyons got hot" said John Cannon,
telling of the affair afterwards, and
called us some pretty hard names and
applied the same names to every one
who sat in the convention. He called
me a liar and some other things and I
picked up a piece of ore. Hayes then
got between us and 1 laid down the
piece of ore. thought he had pulled
a gun, but he had not, although / am
pretty sure that he had a knife in his
hand. l started to put him out and we
had quite a scrap. i hit him once or
twice and with my brothers help we
finally succeeded in throwing him
through the glass door. The officers
then gathered him in

The Speech and Platform.

1t took the republican city conven-
ton just Al minutes yesterday to com
plete the business and adjourn. A ses-
sion of 10 minutes was held at noon,
and the convention adjourned until 2
o'clock and in 81 minutes completed
all the rest of its business. placed a
ticket in the field and adjourned. The
convention was marked by extreme
harmony. There was not a hitch or
deviation from the dress rehearsal had
by the delegates Sunday evening before
the central committee of the A. p. A.
Those delegates who had been assigned
star parts fulfilled with very little
prompting the parts the central com
mittee had assigned them. Most OF the
delegates had only chorus parts and
did their duty very acceptably.
The extreme harmony which charac-
terized the convention was particularly
gratifying in view of the fact that not
less than Ii of the delegates who par
ticipated in the convention had occu-
pied seats in the democratic conven-
lions within the past two years. When
republicans can unite in a convention
so harmonious Ii is evident that the
rehearsal had been very careful and
thorough.
To satisfy the IL democratic dele
gates in the convention two democrats
were placed in nomination for alder
republicans. No nomination was made
in the First ward, but the central COM
mittee was empowered to put up a. man
there if IL should see fit.
Alderman Pascoe of the Second ward
and Alderman Schaltzlein of the Fourth
ward were turned down because of
their refusal to do in all things what
the A. p. A. central committee had re-
quired of them. Besides that II was alb
solutely necessary to give democrats
places on the ticket, and the Fourth
and Sixth wards were assigned for
democratic candidates. II was enough
to bring the tears to a mans eyes to
hear the affecting speech with which
an old-time republican like Judge Nc
Murphey place in nomination an old
time democrat like NJ. NJ. Vivion, who
two years ago was a delegate to the
democratic convention and nominated
for alderman by the democrats of that
ward. c. c. barrow also made an able
speech in nominating Charles Baus-
man, an old democrat. in preference to
Charles Schatzlein. When two demo-
Gratis and five republicans can be NOM
mated in the same convention without
a dissenting voice an idea can be OBJ
tanned of the great harmony prevail
ting.
The following candidates were placed

CORRIGAN LOST THE SUIT.

The question whetlxr twenty-nine
years is more than a reasonable time
within which to begin to build church
upon land conveyed on condition that
church shall, within reasonable time,
be erected thereon has been fully an
swered by the court of appeals in the
case of Upington against COrrigan, in
which Archbishop Corrigan was the de-
fendant as the successor of Archbishop
Hughes. In 1852 Mary M. Davey decided
thirty-two lots of land in this city to
Archbishop Hughes by an instrument
which made it condition of the trans
fer that he should erect or cause to be
erected church upon the premises with
in reasonable time. No church having
been built in 1891 one of the heirs at law
of Mary M. Davey commenced a suit
against the present archbishop to recox-
er possession of the land. The plain
tiff succeeded at the trial which took
place before Judge Abraham r. Law
renee, and also in the general term of
the supreme court, where the >Dpinion
was written by Presiding Justice Van
Brunt. He declared that the court
could take judicial notice of the fact
that twenty-nine years was an unrea-
sonable time within which to COM
mence the building of church, unless
some sufficient explanation were given.
There seemed to him no more necessity
for proof to this effect than there would
be for evidence to show that twenty
nine years was an unreasonable time in
which to go from New York City to AL
bany. AS the court of appeals affirmed
the judgment on Tuesday 1t appears to
entertain the same view.--New York

the weather was anything but promising
for outdoor sport, the bicycle races at
the velodrome this afternoon were wit
messed by the largest crowd ever seen
at local cycling meet. Sensational
time was made by two tandem teams in
exhibition work. Dixon and Loos rode
half mile in IS seconds, cutting a full
second off the worlds amateur record.
The record for the amateur tandem mile
was brought down to 1857 4-5 by Kroetz
and Tantau. This is the American rec
ord.
The Terrill brothers, Foster, Downing
and Mcfarland were the stars in the
professional events, while Kenna, Russ,
Mott and Cook were the stars in the
amateur class.
Several bad falls occurred, but no one
was badly hurt. c. e. Dow of Seattle
won the velodrome shield race by de-
fault from Becker of Minneapolis. The
latter fell in one of the races, but his in
juries were not serious enough to keep
him out of the contest, had he so desired.

and since he had fully ten months of life
left to him at the beginning of the flood,
he could have completed his grand total
of years nowhere else than inside the
ark. At Noah's birth Methuselah had
full 600 years to live. In the 600th year
of Noah's life the windows of heaven
were opened. and in the self same day

Japhet, the sons of Noah, and Noah's

therefore 500 years old when the flood
began. Methuselah had still 10 months
to live ere his 969th year was complete.
Where was he? The dwellers in the ark
did not issue from 1t for year and ten
days after their entrance. Methuselah
must have therefore died during that in

head of a doll known as the variety called
unbreakable. 1T sounded very much as
though that head broke" said the woman
suspiciously. You see madam" was the

the perfect head of doll. The fact that an
extra number of dolls heads were stored
under the counter at that particular spot
was the only thing that saved him the ne
cessity of acknowledging that he had

THE MUD BATHS OF NEW MEXICO

"The hot springs of New Mexico"
says a gentleman from Las Vegas, "are
on the Santa Fe railroad, six miles from
Las Vegas, and they are situated in. a
basin about thirty acres in extent, sur
rounded on all sides by hills rising to
q. height of from 300 to 400 feet, shield
ing the place from wind and sand storms.
The mud baths which are famous for
their curative effects are only to
be had in two places in the world, here
and at Carlsbad, Germany, and it has
been shown that the mud found at the
hot springs of New Mexico and which
is used in giving the baths, is of the
same chemical composition as that of
Carlsbad. 1t is very interesting to no
tice the formation of this mud or peat.
1t is formed by the vegetation which has
been washed down from the hills prob
ably century ago, and which. settling
among the rocks, has become decom-
posed and formed into a substance
which is practically carbon impregnat-
ed with salts. magnesia, soda, lithia,
and various other ingredients.
This peat is gathered from the rocks.
dried and put through a fine seive, in
order to remove all the silicates, and
after this treatment it is as soft as
flour. 1t is then taken to the mixing
room, where it is put in large tubs and
the water from the hot springs mixed
with it until it is of about the consis-
tency of mush. The mud is now ready
for use and it is taken to the bathing
room, where the patient is placed in a
tub, and covered, with the exception
of the head, and allowed to remain in
the mud for from ten to thirty-fve min
utes. The application of the mud has
an effect similar to the application of
a, mild poultice and draws the impuri-
ties from the body through the pores
of the skin. The patient is then re-
moved from the bath, placed upon a
slab, and submitted to a vigorous rub
bling. The chemical composition of the
mud is such that it can be rubbed from
the body with dry towel, leaving the
flesh in a clean condition. A great many
people come to this place to take the
mud bath treatment, and some marvel
lous cures are effected. In one instance
1 remember to have seen a man who
was all drawn up with rheumatism, and
after two weeks of this treatment he
had been relieved. The treatment is
especially beneficial to persons affiict-
| ed with neuralgia, rheumatism and skill
| diseases. Denver Republican.

A CURIOUS QUESTION.
Where Was Methuselah During the De-

satisfactory answer. He argues:
This distinguished patriarch seems
to have been forgotten at that time, for
no mention is made of him as one of the
chosen few to enter the ark; and, on the
other hand, we are told that every living
creature perished without the ark, and
every man.. Now Methuselah lived
nine hundred and sixty and nine years,
