BO AD. President Schwartz Denies That It Is to Be Sold to the Penn Company. It was reported on the street yesterday that negotiations were in progress for the sale of the Pittsburg, Chartiers and Yough iojrheny road to the Pennsylvania Company. President James E. Schwartz, when seen, said he was tired of denying such rumors. He continued that the road was not for sale to the Pennsylvania or Lake Erie peo ple. It has been known for some time that the Pennsylvania Company would like to get the little line, which is a great coal road. It runs from Chartiers, on the Lake Erie.np Tom's run and under the Panhandle at Mansneia. it taps valuable coal mines in Allegheny and "Washington counties. Their coal shipments are mainly to the lake ports. The traffic is given to the Pan handle and Lake Erie roads, but owing to the easy connection at Chartiers, the latter line gets the bulk of the traffic. To secure this freight for theC. & P. road is the aim of the Pennsylvania in trying to get the P., G&Y. The road connects with the Panhandle at Mansfield, and by way of the Ohio river bridge the coal could be transferred to the CL & P. road. Such a move would shut the Lake Erie out of considerable freight busi ness. FREE TRAINS TO-MORROW To and From the New Town of Blaine.

EXTENSION OP THE DIVISION ASKED. "Washington', Nov. 23. Captain Shep ard, Chief of the Revenue Marine Division, In his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury says that 30 vessels in commission during the year cruised 301,000 miles and boarded 20,962 vessels, of which 1,042 were found violating the law. The fines incurred by these violations amounted to 5334,000. One hundred and twenty-three distressed vessels were assisted, their values, their cargoes, aggregating, 52,800,000. The revenue cutters, futhennore, rendered material service to the live-saving service during the year, and rescued from drowning 26 persons. Captain Shepard says during the past year that the work of the service embraced opera tions of more than ordinary importance in several directions, many of which have dealt with issues of an international nature re quiring nicety of judgment. All such duty has been of a special character and distinct from the routine of the service, and the prompt and efficient man ner in which it was performed reflects highly on the the credit of both officers and crews. Captain Shepard details the work of vari ous cutters of particular interest during the year, especially those serving in the Ber ing Sea. A Proclamation to Rescind. He recommends that the proclamation pro hibiting the sale to natives of Alaska of breech-loading arms and fixed ammunition be rescinded. The very lives of those peo ple depend upon the success they meet in hunting, and their present untenable arms are becoming of little use, as seals are very shy and scarce. Furthermore, the proclama tion only enhances the value of breech loaders in the bands of unscrupulous traders. Captain Shepard says a number of new vessels are urgently needed for the proper mainstnance of the service. The rapidly increasing commerce on the great lakes, Pacific coast, and Pneet Sound, the large number of Chinese unlawfully landed, aud the enormous quantities of opium believed to be smuggled into the United States from contiguous foreign territory; the additional services demanded of the revenue cutter fleet in protecting Government interests in Alaska all demand new and more efficient steamers. Old Vessels Not Worth Repairing. The vessels all present on duty, when first put into csmmission, filled the require ments, but are now entirely too small to meet the enlarged duties of the service. The policy of making extensive repairs to the old vessels is a mistaken one. The is also urgent need for some form of relief for the personnel of the service. Owing to its peculiar status, its officers and men nave been reluscd tne bene fits of retirement at longevity and pensions. The present condition of the service is little short of stagnation. Owing to the grades being blocked by so many old officer, promotion only comes upon death or occasional resig nation. The attending stagnation has a de moralizing effect on the active personnel of the service, and tends to not only make the officers dissatisfied with their lot, but the service itself tfnattractive. Furthermore, the duty performed by officers of the reve nue marine is the most arduous, perhaps, of anv service afloat under the Government TO BE CONTINUED INDEFINITELY. The Officials of the International Typo graphical Union Visit Pittsburg. The printers' strike will be continued for an indefinite time. Yesterday President Prescott, Secretary McClevey, First Vice President McKenna and Second Vice President Von Buettner, all Inter national officers, met in Executive Council with the local committee of the striking printers. President Adams and others of the Pittsburg union made a full statement of the condition of affairs from the breaking out of the trouble to the pres ent time. It was decided to continue the strike indefinitely, with the sup port of the International Union. More money will be sent in than heretofore, and all of the strikers will receive enough bene fits from now on to pay all of their necessary expenses. Last night the visiting of ficials met with the pressmen, and that body decided to stay with the printers to the end. All the officials left the city last night, with the exception of Secretary Clevey, who will stay in Pittsburg until "Wednesday. Bad Weather Causing Sickness. The disagreeable weather of the past few days has caused several cases of severe sick ness. Pneumonia has made its appearance, and, while as yet the number of cases is not great, still it is thought to be here to stay for awhile. Quite a number of patients have been brought to the Allegheny Gen eral Hospital. Kheumatism is unusually severe now, and yesterday the ambulance of the hospital was busy in answering calls. There are now more than half a dozen cases of this ailment at the hospital, taken there during the present cold spell Typhoid fever is still prevalent in Allegheny, but not to an alarming extent Will Use tho Rose Process at Braddock. The Braddock Light Company of Braddock Pa. has made a contract with The National Heat & Power Company to build one of their plants for the manufacture of illumin ating gas by the Kose Process. The Light Company is at present using the old process of coal retorts. The new system will enable them to make their gas in one-fifth the time now required ana much reduce the cost. This plant will be watched with much interest as it will demonstrate the praetibil ity of piping the Rose gas. Locked Up for Falso Pretense. James Ford was lodged in the Twelfth ward police station lasi evening on a charge of false pretense, made by Sophia Eeynolds, of Penn avenue, before Alderman Mc Kenna. It is alleged that Ford owes the prosecutrix a large board bill for himself and wife, and was making arrangements to leave the city last evening without paying the bill. Left Wife and Family Behind.

"We want the Republican convention and then possibly the Democrats will the more forcibly recognize the peculiar attractions we can offer to them in our world-famous incomparable Monongahela "whisky." Throughout his brief speech Mr. Stone was quite happy, and made an excellent im pression in his maiden "Washington speech. Hon. "W. K. .Bradley, of Kentucky, made one of the most eloquent and powerful ora tions of the day in favor of Chattanooga. This closed the speaking, and at 1:30 the committee went into executive session, ex cluding the correspondents and all but mem bers. The committee decided to ballot sec retly. The first informal ballot resulted: New York, 9; Chicago, 0; Omaha,5; Minneapolis, 13; Cincinnati, 4; San Francisco, 8; Detroit, 1; Pittsburg, 2, St. Louis, 1. Chattanooga, 4.

This settled the question of the conven tion site, and the date remained to be fixed. There was naturally Eome diversity of opinion upon this feature, too, but June 7 was finally selected. It was argued that Minneapolis was far enough to the North to he reason able in temperature even at that season of the year. The Pittsburgers started on their return trip immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. MINNEAPOLIS IS MERRY. DESPITE THE LATENESS OF THE NEWS THE CITY GOES WILD. Everybody Will Work Tooth and Nail to Handsomely Entertain the Visitors The Political Effects or the Victory In the Entire Northwest Minneapolis, Nov. 23. The town is wild to-night with excitement over the an nouncement of the fact that this city has se cured the National Bepublican Convention. All the eveningthe Tribune was besieged with inquiries regarding the news from "Wash ington. During the storm in the East the news was slow in reaching this city. The politicians and business men, how ever, remained on the street until the bul letin announcing the result was received. The news spread quiokly throughout the city, and all over the town could be heard the cheers and yells of the excited people. On all sides nothing but words of praise could be heard for the noble work done by the band of Minneapolis workers at the national capital. All classes, irrespective of politics, arc enthusiastic. The hatchet has been buried and all will work tooth and toe nail to properly enter tain the delegates and vast crowd that will be here at the same time. Since the an nouncement of the result all carping has ceased, and there is not a person who did not think that Minneapolis would be sure to get it From a political standpoint it is con sidered a most excellent thing for the city and the entire Northwest. The dissatis faction among the Grangers will be quelled and the result will be an honest money platform without the influence of "Wall street hanging over it. All in all, it has been a great night for the Northwest, and Minneapolis in particular. NEW GAS FIELDS FOUND. If Properly Developed, There Is Enough or the Fnel to Rnn the Mills. There is plenty of gas in Ihis section, and many think that the mills will once more return to the use of the fuel. Gas men are responsible for the statement that more good territory has been discovered the last three months than in the three years before. The Coraopolis field is promising, and the gas extends to the northeastern end of the McCurdy oil territory. Last Saturday the Philadelphia Company brought in a good well in this section. The O'Brien well at Finleyville, not far from Pittsburg, is one of the largest wells ever struck. The Royal Gas Company has a lot of first-class terri tory out toward Steubenville. Those in the business think that if the new fields were properly developed that the supply would be more than sufficient to run all the in dustries in Pittsburg at coal rates, if not lower. The people got disgusted and dis couraged too soon. A strange thing happened the Boyal gas well near Venice, on the Barrettjfarm. The gas was struck some time ago in the fifth sand, and it poured out in a steady stream until a few days since, when it stopped. It was discovered that the well had caved in, aud it was supposed that it was full of rub bish to the bottom. The men were ordered last Saturday to drill it over again. They had not been at work long when there was a terrific explosIonand the tools were blown out of sight, leaving the well as clean as a whistle. It seems that the cave-in had formed a bridge, and when it was pierced the pressure of the accumulated gas did the rest The well is now supplying as much gas as ever. This is the first time in the history of the business that such an event has occurred. The chances are that any number of wells that have ceased flowing are clogged up with debris. A CITY OUT OF WATEB. AU Brooklyn Factories and Even the Bridge Deprived of a Supply. Brooklyn, Nov. 23. This city is hay ing a water famine due to the bursting of a conduit Saturday.

THE BAUSMAN CASE. It Is Not Regarded as Settled by the Allegheny Presbytery. THE PASTOR IS ONLY GIVEN TIME. A Maniac-Wife's Frightful Double Crime Kear St. Mary's, Ohio. NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS rRrECTAI. TELTORAM TO TUB DISPATCII.l Rochester, Pa., Nov. 23. The commit tee appointed by the Allegheny Presbytery to report the action of the Presbytery in the case of Rev. Joseph Bausman to his congregation, did so this evening through its chairman, Dr. Campbell. The latter read, byway of practice, the report of the committee to the Presbytery, and the cita tion to the congregation to show cause why the pastoral relations should not be discon tinued. The Presbytery, he said, had not, in con tinuing the present relation, committed it self to his views. Its prolongation of thepas toral relationship he explained to be due to thePresbytery'sinterestinEev.Mr.Bausmaa and its inclination toward leniency in view of the present disturbed condition of affairs in theological circles. .He expressed the opinion that the Presbytery believed that Bev. Mr. Bausman had not arrived at his present views by a prolonged study of the Scriptures, but bad imbibed them, to some extent, from others and had allowed his sympathetic feelings undue sway. The Pres bytery, he said, hoped that Mr. Bausman would change his views. The pastoral relations, he added, would he continued for a reasonable length of time to give him time for reflection. He urged the factions of the church to bury all differ ences and to work for the common good of the church. Rev. Mr. Kennedy, another member of the committee, followed Dr. Campbell in a very brief address, in which he said that he wishes the people to fully grasp and re tain the basis of the action of the Presby tery, which, he said, does not consider the case matured. Its basis, he said, is the question of the brother's soundness in the faitlu He said the matter was not settled. Key. Mr. McCormick, in a few brief sen tences, counseled harmony, and the meet ing closed. LAST BITES OVEB JUDGE CLARE. The First Citizen of Indiana Connty Quietly Eaid to Rest. Indiana, Pa., Nov. 23.
