They Arc 10 Meet on the Gridiron
This Afternoon.
New York, October 2l.--Princeton and
Cornell are scheduled 10 play football on
the historic gr.diron of old Nassau tomor-
row afternoon, and there are those who
claim that the struggle will be in doubt
until the last whistle Of the referee. Ger
tain ii is that never before have these two
colleges met in such doubtful contest,
nor wiz. SO much confidence of success.
The Tigers have been quietly at WORK
perfectng their system and developing a
smooth running machine; they do not ex-
pect to dash over the Vineyard lines with
case and briiliancy and are fully aware
that they must smash ana struggle for

and wound up with cutting ARRAY Just
before the train reached Richland. The
row started in the Southern Pacific depot
among several women who had Individual

reported as quarreling all the way up the

Wilson who was spectator, was stabbed
twice, once over the heart and again In
the head. Nature OF the negro's wounds
can not be learned. but the one over the
heart Is thought TO be serious.

the Alameda candidate will haul down hin
colors tomorrow morning before nominap
lions are called for, which means an &C.
elimination vote for Henry Gage. It was
observed that few delegates who had dis
played the pink colored badges with crossed
flags and Browns name upon them hastily
Exchanged them for Gage badges some time
before Brown announced his withdrawal.
The Nights Developments
The night has been quiet one about the
hotels, very little being said about the
fyht for governor, and much about the
contests for the minor places on the ticket.
All the candidates have had q sturdy
wrsstle with the delegates for votes. Any
attempt to make a forecast would be the
merest guess work. as every office-seeker
claims to have votes enough to nominate
him and many more to spare.
Jacob Neff is still serious possibility FOR
the second place on the ticket. He wants
the lieutenant governorship, and 1t is said
he will get the nomination with a roar and
a waving of flags.
The committee on order of business will
repor, in favor of making the nomination
for supreme court justices after the lieu-
tenant governor is nominated.
The committee on credentials sat up to
late hour 1t will report in favor Of seating
the Rea delegation and of throwing out
both Kidder and Brown, who are contest
Ing for the seat as delegate at large from
Nevada county, and giving to the delega-
ton the vote which would otherwise be
cast by that delegate.
The placing of ]. c. Campbell in nominal
ton this afternoon for temporary chair
man by the Pardee-Brown forces is ac-
knowledged to have been very serious
blunder. Many stalwart Republicans, with
long memories, had their knives out for
Campbell They remembered that Camp
bell, who was formerly a resident OF Stock
ton had come out openly in support OF
James H.. Budd for governor when the late
ter was nominated by the Democratic par
ty four years ago. The roll call, when In
terrupted by Van r. Patterson's motion to
make Neff's election unanimous, tailed up
425 votes for Neff to 1876 for Campbell.
Judge ]. M Walling of Nevada City to-
! night announced his withdrawal from the
canvass for the congressional nominations
from the Second district.
