Prescott, Ariz., Sept 16.-(Special) ) The main thing so far developed in the democratic territorial convention which convened here today was party strife and division, which will certain ly be fatal at the polls. The breach between the Smith and Barnes fac c-cns has been widened. The nomina- ton of a candidate for delegate is in definite as to both time and nominee. Today was spent in pickering, and when the last adjournment was taken for the afternoon it was evident that the first great contest was over and that the Pima contestees had lost.
 When the convention assembled to- night Barnes had been unseated and all predicted Ellinwood's nomination on the second or third ballot, as Smiths friends had positively assert ed that he would withdraw in the event of Barnes downfall, but during the recess the Smith strength began to wayer between Ellinwood and Wilson. Jones, whose friends stated earlier in the day that he would not come before the convention, suddenly developed strength and on reconvening he was a full fledged candidate. Smith had not formally withdrawn, so the delegates
 
 sufferer.
 All the committees had reported but that on resolutions and platform. This was now received and it was the same old story of 16 to 1, with republican rG asts, a plea for water storage, ap- proval of the war and a belief in ex- pansion. Rowe tried to work in the referendum clause, but it was turned down amid confusion.
 THE PRINCIPAL BUSINESS.
 By o'clock the convention get as far as taking LID nominations for del egate to congress. EllinwCod was placed in nomination by Dr. Brennan and Henry Ashurst in eloquent speeches; Jones was nominated by Shannon. Then Burbage of Apache named Mark Smith. Here was dis played the first real enthusiasm of the day. The convention went wild as Smith arose in his place. He was called to the platform and in an elo- quent and feeling speech declined the honor, stating that personal and fam fly reasons had decided him in this step. The convention refused to ac- cept his withdrawal and cheered him to the echo as he, retired. Smith had kept his word Billy Barnes had been turned out of the convention, and Smith after showing all that he could get the nomination, declined it. Will son was nominated by Herndon in Q stICng speech and the convention be- gan balloting, after listening to re- marks by Ellinwood, Wilson and Jones. in which none of them did himself any good.
 THE FIRST BALLOT.
 The first ballot disclosed the fact that if Ellinwood was to be nominated it would be only after hard fight IL stood Smith, 3S; Ellinwood, 34; Will soI, 8: Jones, IT. Four other ballots closely followed each other with about the same result, the delegates staying by Smith in spite Of his protests. The friends of the Barnes crowd had is in for ElIinwocJ, claiming that he pre- vented the Coconino allegation from taking part in the Pima contest on the floor of the convention after the Te-

This morning the Seventeenth regiment re- turned and General Haskell went to the depot in carriage to welcome his gallant men. He rode at the head of the regiment through the city. and the cheers of the people were directed almost as much to him individually as to the regiment. At the reviewing stand crowd surrounded the carriage

lowing is the lineup of the teams:
THE TIGERS POOR WORK.
They Defeat Virginia by the Slim
Score of Twelve to Nothing.

Princeton, n. J., Nov. 2,-The Tigers got
another decided setback today, when the
University of Virginia eleven held them
down TO two touchdowns in the first half
and kept the ball In Priftceton's territory
most of the time for the rest of the game.
The game was played on1ne ;iew Brokaw
Field and as it wassthe last that Prince
ton has at home until Yale comes down,
there was big crowd of students and
alumni on hand to get final line on the
team They left the grounds this after
noon a very disappointed looking lot, and
1t is safe to say that IL any betting is
done on the game a week from Saturday
Yale will have to offer the most tempt
ing odds. -f
The entire blame of today's wretched
exhibition is clearly traceable to the
Tigers back field. The Princeton line
was strong enough TO keep the visitors
from gaining the necessary five yards,
with but two exceptions. all through the
thirty-minute game, but although Vir-
ginia's defense was faulty in many re-
spects the fumbling Of Nassan's backs,
coupled with their slow starting and
running and especially in the second half,
was responsible for the small score:
Princeton, IL; Virginia, 0. Time Of

NO STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL.
Broker Hibbs Explains His Heavy
Purchases of Gas Stock,

The multiplied rumors of contention for
control among the large owners of the
stock of the Washington Gas Light Com
pany, which have been heard on every
hand for the past week or more, and
which have connected almost every capt.
talist in Washington and many from 9TH
er sections of the country with the rams
action, are declared to be without founda-
tion in fact by W. B. Hibbs. of the firm
of w. B. Hibbs & Co., stock brokers, who
has purchased about 1000 shares of this
stock for his clients within the last three
weeks and who has just returned from
New York. He said last night that 1t was
his belief that there was absolute harmo-
ny among the holders of this stock in re-
gard to the control of the property
AS the matter stands at present, accord
ing to Mr. Hillbs, the stock that is being
bought is going to make the large hold
ings greater, and has been parted with
invariably by the small holder. The COM
pany is simply getting into a more com
pact form with no new element in 1t. or
any discord or contention for control.

Walking the Floor.

When business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night, where he is
SO shattered of nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the foor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with round turn.
II he does not, II means nervous prostratiou
and mental, if not physical, death.
For man who gets into this condition
there is remedy that will brace him UP,
put him on his feet and make a man of him
again. 1t is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t goes to the bottom of things
1t searches out the first cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. 1t promptly transforms weak stom-
ach into healthy one. 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
tion and assimilation perfect. 1t gives a
man an appetite like boys. 1t invigor-
ates the liver. 1t fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filled with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make man
well and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
fbers. 1t puts new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body 1t
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.

Street, in South Brookland.
Mrs. Knabe went to market early in

bert at home in care of his father Mr.
Knabe is very deaf and was working in
his attention was attracted by a dense
column of smoke issuing from the door
of the kitchen. In the house he found
his son and a little playmate, Elma
Dahle, running around the floor with
their clothing In flames.
The father seized a blanket which was
lying near at hand and wrapped 1t
around the two children, completely
smothering the flames. In doing SO he
sustained several severe burns about the
face and arms. Neighbors summoned the
fire department and a detachment of po-
lice from the Eighth Precinct Station
House, and Mr.. Knabe and the two chill
dren were sent to Freedman's Hospital
Albert Knabe, who seemed to be the
most seriously burned, received the at
tention of the surgeons first, and it was
apparent that he could not live He was
fearfully burned about the body He lived

ARCHITECTS CONVENTION.
Delegates Visit Glen Echo and Cabin
John,

The architects who are holding their
annual convention in this city, listened
TO papers and addresses yesterday from
Professor W. C. Sabine, of Harvard Uni
versity; Adolf Cluss, of the District of
Columbia: Professor G. p Merrill. of the
National Museum, and DIR. Cyrus Adler,
librarian of the Smithsonian Institute.
The morning session yesterday was
opened by the reading of a paper on the
subject of Acoustics" by Prof. Sabine.
He said there were three features TO be
considered in securing an auditorium
which would be satisfactory in its acous-
tic properties. The first was to secure
adequate loudness of sound throughout
the room. The second was to avoid that
which is scientifically termed ''interfer-
ence' without impairing the structural
strength of the building. The third TO
avoid also the too great prolongation of
the sound after the cause had ceased
The paper was illustrated by charts.
Mr.. Cluss. who is a member of the
Washington chapter and a fellow of the
Institute of Architects. submitted a pa
per in which he discussed also the Ques-
tion of acoustics.
Prof. Merrill delivered an interesting
address on American ornamental stones
Those of which he treated are practically
unknown in commerce. He exhibited
specimens which he had gathered in the
South and West.
The afternoon was spent at Glen Echo
and Cabin John and a call was made
upon Miss Clara Barton. The lady re-
ceived the visitors with a pretty little
speech of welcome.
At the evening session Dr. Cyrus Adler
delivered an address on Jewish archi-
lecture. The temple, he thought, was
probably erected by the Phoenicians He
told of the distinction between the tenn
pie and the synagogues. the former being
place of sacrifcial rites and the latter
merely a meeting house, which, before
the time of caravansaries, served as a
resting place for wayfarers. By degrees
the synagogue became place of prayer.
DIR. Adler was equipped with a large
collection of pictures of Jewish ruins
and of several OF the present great syna-
gogues of the world. These pictures were
distributed through the audience for in
spection. vote of thanks was given to
the speaker at the close of his address.
II. G. Bradlee, of Boston, read a trea-
tise on the relation of electricity to archi-
lecture. He reviewed the history of elec-
trio lighting and emphasized its present
Importance.
At the close of the session this morn
ing. the delegates will be taken in charge
by committee from the Washington
Chapter and will be shown many of the
interesting places IN and around Wash
ington. At the session TO be held this
evening officers will be elected, and CON-
mittees appointed. The convention will
then adjourn.

symptoms of mental arrangement since

violence to his fellow employees that his
presence at the hotel was considered a
menace. to their weIl-being and Police
man Langley was called in TO lake the
man in charge.
Williams has been employed at the
hotel for about two months. He was an
unusually taciturn fellow, and was
thought to be little queer because OF
his religious ideas, but his sanity had
not been questioned. Sunday he appear
ed at work with his banjo and a bottle
OF what he called purity medicine He
played and sang for his own amuse-
ment for some time, and interspersed his
selections with copious draughts from the
bottle. The ingredients of this wonder
ful medicine, he explained. consisted of
ing soda ashes. pepper. salt and onions,
and was prepared by him at the dicta-
tion of the Lord, who had told him to
use II for himself and those about him 10
purify their souls. The duty cf saving
mems souls had devolved upon him be-
cause the Lord considered him al
most pure normally. Il am one of God s
chosen" said Williams. and He visited
me In vision and told me ] was to be
called to heaven in a few days"
Williams. despite the entreaties OF the
help at the hotel. continued to take doses
OF his purity medicine and character
lied the remonstrances rs the words Of
scoffers and unholy ones. Tuesday night
he washed his hat and hung it up on a
pole, stating that on Wednesday he was
going to heaven. Wednesday dawned as
usual. There were no extraordinary cir
cumstances about the day TO any one
except Williams and he stated that he
hourly expected to depart for the realms
above. AS the afternoon waned the
mans dementia took a violent shape. He
wanted to carve up everybody in sight
and stated that those who did not care
to have their sins cut out could accep;
the alternative Of having them scalded

at the alleged maniac's hands, called il

NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
Committee on Site Has Invited Bids
for Ground.

for Ground.
The committee on the site to be selected
for the magnificent new Masonic Temple
building to be erected in this city have
asked for proposals for such a plot of
ground in the central portion of the city
as will be handy and convenient to the
street cars. The committee consists of
Matthew Trimble, the District tax asses
sor chairman; Allison Nailor, jr.. E. G.
Davis. the District tax collector; Wallace
Hills, of the Treasury Department, and
William II. Baum.
The proposals will be received by Mat
thew Trimble until noon of the 18th day
of the present month, and II is hoped
that soon after that date the announce
ment will be made of the selection of
the property upon which 1t is intended to
erect the structure.
The structure will be 100 feet long
and $50 deep and 1900 square feet of
ground will be required for the building.
The plans are already being prepared so
that no time will be lost in constructing
the edifice. Its cost has not yet been
determined but it will be an ornament to
the city. and a model of local architectu-
raj adornment. The great Masonic fair
which was held at Convention Hall last
Spring resulted in the collection of $50 600
to be devoted toward the purchase of
the site and the erection of the proposed
structure. 1t is stated that the money
for the construction of the temple will
be raised by subscription to stock, which
will shortly be issued, and 1t is also
asserted that much of the stock will be
sought by the Masonic bodies of other
! Jurisdictions, inasmuch as the temple
movement is in a great measure a ma
tional one.
