THEY TOSSED A COIN. Rival Factions In a Convention Settle a Contest. A SQUARE DEAL ALL 'ROUND. Detroit Republicans Easily Decide Their Differences. Tlio Two Candidates for Chairman Made tho Committee on Credentials.

Associated I'rcas Dispatches. Detroit, April 10. Thero was an ox-citing contest between two factions to sccuro tho control of tho Republican county convention held hero Saturday. Ono set represented Mayor Pingreo of this city, candidate for governor, nnd ex-United States Senator Thomas W. Palmer, now president of tho national commission of the world's fair.

The other represented United States Senator McMilliu. The Pingree-Palmer faction had control of tho county committee, and succeeded in calling a Pingreo man, W. II. Coots, to tho chair as temporary chairman. The troublo all began when this officer assumod the purogativo of appointing the coinmitteo on credentials.

Tho McMlllin faction questioned the right of tho temporary chairman to preside at all and pi oceeued to elect Archibald Grant as temporary chairman. Ho accepted at ouco and for the next hour tho convention had two presiding ollicerg, neither of whom wero able to exert any authority. The opposing delegates crowded on tho stage and a scufllo ensued over the tablo of the presiding officer. Each chairman was branded by his opponents as a despot, tyrant, Anarchist and usurper but invectives wero powerless to solve the deadlock. Finally a otnpromiso was effected, the rival chairmen being themselves constituted the committee on credentials.

There wero several contests, but in each caso tho dolcgates to bo admitted was selected by tbo tossing of a coin, a proceeding which tho convention hugely enjoyed and which was alternately declarod by the iraccessful faction to be tho "squarest deal" they had over had in a Detroit convention. After the credentials were reported an election was held and the UcMIllin candidate was elected chairman by vote of 07 to 31. From this time tho Mc- Millin faction had it all its own way.

Senator Penrose, he said, had recently received letter from his brother at Cheyenne, in which tho latter said ho had joined a company formed to arrest tho cattle thieves. Judge Penrose could not beliee his nephew guilty of any criminal intent, ns lio could have no motive for such action.

Dr. Penrose has a wido circlo of acquaintances here, many of whom, when they heard tho nature of the dispatch, refused to attach any credenro to It. They nil claimed Dr. Penrose's character was such as to render it impossible that he could be connected In any way with a lawless assemblage and "scouted tho idea of his being mixed up in a conspiracy that had any murderous connection. GOULD IN EL PASO.

Appearand Indicate That He Ha Settled In El I'aso for Some Time. Eh Pabo, April 10. El Paso is about to reap fruit from Jay Gould's visit in tho way of a new hotel. Mr. Gould IniB been most profuse with en-commiuuis of this climate, and declares that it cannot bo equaled for bronchitis, lung and throat trouble anywhere.

He has visited Italy, Egypt, Africa and other resorts recommended for his malady, but eayB ho has received more relief during his six weeks' sojourn in El I'aso than at any other point ho has visited for his health. Ho predicts that this city is to become a great sanitarium and Dr. Munn expresses himself in the same terms. Mr. Gould few days sinco stated that what El Paso needed most since tho burning of tho Grand Central was a hotel equipped with nil modern conveniences, with large grounds and plazaa profuso with trees and flowers, whero persons afllicted like himself might find comfortable quarters.

Acting unon this suggestion Joo Harapson. wealthy railroad contractor, purchased the site of the present custom-house for $17,000 and will build thereon a $250,000 hotel. Mr. Ilnmpson left today for St. lmis nnd Chicago to havo plans and specifications inndo by tho most oxpert architects.

Pyrite specimens and nuggets taken out are said to be richer than any thing beforo discovered.

The ledge on which tlio mino Is located is five miles in length nnd a big mining ramp will probably spring up at once, Want Fopo of Moderate Views. London, April 10. A dispatch from Rome on tho subject of the papal sue pessionBuyB; The majority Of (tie car of Any Daily iPaper dinals aro elderly gentlemen having their privato residences, their private interests and all their associations in Rome. Then again, they havo no ecclesiastical interests to further by making Rome impossible for the pope. Half an hours conversation with any of the leading cardinals would suffice to convince a stranger that they are the most conservative body of men in the world and that the very idea of transferring the papal see to another place is obnoxious to them.

Therefore when tho election of a now pope requires tho convocation of a conclavo it ia more than probable that a candidate of mod-orate views will be elected, whatever the gossip at the Vatican may say on the subject at present. DETECTIVES ALL IN JAIL. Peculiar Iteault or the Hunt for ss Atlanta Man's Murderers. Tallai-oosa, April 10. Three men are in jail here under peculiar circumstances.

Walker receiving a letter Irom Mr. W. M. Mattinely, ono of the contracting parties of the marriage, stating that ho had been advised by his lawyer that the marriage was not legal because of the want of authority by tho county judge to marry parties outsido of his jurisdiction.

Mattlngly wants to mako it legal. He asks, therefore, for further advice. It ia the opinion here that tho marriage is legal. Tho counlv attorney pronounces it a lawful mnrri-ago "over the wires." HOW A MURDER CASItS OUT. A Fortune Teller Frightens a Servant Girl Into Divulging the Secret.

McCool Never Saw Anything; to Beat It. That Scheme A Good Land for the Orange and Vine They Grow to Perfection. Mr. Pilcher, vice president of the Hartford bank, expressed the sentiment of a great many English capitalists when ho said Arizona was a good place for investments. Mr.

Pilcher has just returned from a trip to London, where he went to secure money to put in the new sewerage system for Phoenix. Mr. Pitcher was entirely successful in his mission, and the money will bo forthcoming as soon as minor details can be arranged satisfactory. The work of construction will be begun at once thereafter. Mr.

Pilcher says that Arizona is not at all unknown in England. The immigration agent has been actively at work thero and attention during the past year has been diverted from California in this direction. This is largely due to the high prices of of land and water which obtain in California. There is an abundance of capital in England, but owing to tho present depression in the money market, cash for outside schemes has been a little difficult to.get. English capital though is favorably disposed toward Arizona and Mr.

Pilcher no doubt did somo good missionary work while gone and Phoenix will feel in the near future some good effects from his hurried trip abroad. Tills valley offers abundant inducements to capital. All that is required now is that we may be placed before that capital in a favorable light. It is simply but a question of timo that we shall. Mr.

Dan McCool and Wallace Pratt have been stopping for several days at the Commercial on mining business, and leave for the east tonight. Mr. Pratt is general solicitor of the Kansas City, Ft. Scott and Gulf road, and Mr. McCool has held a prominent position in railroad circles for a number of years.

The last three years Mr. McCool has spent abroad and mining. In a short talk to a Republican representative last evening, Mr. McCool said "I don't think there is any question but what the north and south road will be through and in short timo. It has lone been the desire of the Santa Fe to get into your remarkably rich valley.

The railroad talk is already influencing capitalists and settlers in the east towards coming this way. Regards mining Mr. McCool thinks wo have splendid outlook. Tho lack of transportation for a long time kept people unfamiliar with our mineral resources. They are beginning to look this way.

"Besides your exlensivo mineral resources," resumed the speaker" you have the most wonderful agricultural district I have over seen. You have an exceptionally fine combination of mining and agricultural wealth right at your door. Phoenix has a great future, it seems to me. D. McPhorsnn, of McPhcrson, California, is stopping at the Mills house.

Mr. McPhorson ia well known here from his fruit interests in the valley. "Tbo more I see of the Salt River valley," he said last night to a Republican reporter, "tho more thoroughly I become convinced that this is the great fruit section of tho future. All the fruits which can be grown in California, grow here in greater abundance and invariably equal in quality. Decidious fruits do better here.

Libewise grapes, both for raisin and wine purposes. Almonds do much better. They have never made a success in California. The cheap price of land and abundance of water will eventually attract thousands of colonists who have been turning their attention to California." Mr. Walbridge, who made the chamber of commerce a proposition to put up a $20,000 concentrator in this city providing the miners would donate $5,000 worth of ore, and the chamber of commerce $5,000 in cash, does not eeem to understand exactly what he wants beyond getting a bonus.

If he does he has not succeeded in making himself plain to the people of this city. It has been the policy of Phoenix to encourage all enterprises that aro deserving and if Mr. Walbridgo can make his intentions legible and show the city whero it is going to get off at, he may receive the desired support. Business is business, Mr. Walbridge.

Tho party of Chicagoians, F. G. Logan and wifo, Dr. J. S.

Hancock, Mrs. F. II. Hill, Frank II. Sellers, and Miss J.

E. Bull, wero charmed with their drive about the valley yesterday. They visited the Burtlett fig ranch, ostrich farm and other prominent points of interest. Mr. Logan, Mrs.

Hill and Mrs. Bell all have interests at Casa Grandp. Mr. Logan is a relative of our enterprising townsman. George F.

Coats, World's fair commissioner, who is just back from a protracted stay in Washington, whero ho did good service in getting our $30,000 appropriation bill through, says there is much inquiry about Arizona. The effete east is beginning to know that thero is such a place and were astonished at the wonderful stories "our George" told them. NOHUAN ST. OLAIBE. The Young Man Abducted In the Harris-bnrg Region.

A lato issue of tho San Francisco Chronicle has the following additional information about the St. Claire speculations near Harrisburg. His relations with his uncle aro specifically mentioned. The Chronicle eavs: Major Olay is now on his way to New York, bpt his relatives CflrjCBrr) fdr the Unhappy Pt, 'sii appears that Clement C. Clay has owned several mining claims In the Harqua Hala region for six or seven years.

Last year, in December, be sent his nephew, Norman St. Clairo, down to do the assessment work on these claims. The young man, who had been to Arizona before for a brief period, became very enthusiastic over tbe mining interests and expressed a desire to return. The success of Hubbard and Bowers in that region, who were "taking out loads of money" inspired him with hope. His uncle at last agreed to "stake him" and allow him to keep the earnings of the mines, and tho young man went south.

In the meantime, however, the elder Clay notified all supply men and dealers generally that hio nephew was operating (or himself, and that he alone should be held responsible for his obligations. The mines were good ones, aud young 8t. Claire believed that ho could hold his own with them. The indications are that he did so. He seems to have owed no one but the miners, and even these released him from his abductors.

Irwin, of Arizona. This telegram was varified further by private dispatches to prominent partita in Phoenix. While Gov. Irwin's resignation has been looked for for somo time past yet the actual announcement caused a ripple of excitement on the streets. BAD MAN.

Mcr haul's Capture at Redondo Wells Is a Hunt Case. John Clav, the man caught at Redondo Wells by Deputy Sheriff McPhaul last week, leading off a couple of horses which belonged up this way, lias nn unsavory record. McPhaul came upon him suddenly, jiibt as he was rounding a hillock, and got the drop on his man or there would have been a fight, as Clay had fixed lntneeli for resistance. A "bad" man alnas knows when to quit, though, and Clay took his medicine like a man. From later accounts it appears that Clay is not a debutante in the horse stealing business.

In fact, he has followed it as a regular profession for years nnd has served in the penitentiaries of several states and territories. Notwithstanding the fact that a good round sentence is staring him in the face, ho talks quite freely of his wayward lifo and looks upon his capture as a good joke upon himself. Perhaps the point of the joke may bo more apparent when the judgo sends him over the road. It will be a rich joke, but tho average man will fail to comprehend the fun. Watches at Vnntilburg Davison.
