POLITICAL GLEAXINGS OP OXE DAI
A surprising political proposition was
made yesterday. It was that JIavor Gour
ley may lie nominated for Controller on the
.Republican ticket The proposition is
credited to a well-known Republican coun
ty official who participates in the councils
of the leaders. Whether made seriously or
not it met with considerable approval as
the best thing to do lor the party. It was
argued that it would rob the Democrats
of their plunder and their only hope
of electing any part of their ticket,
while ai the same time it would not alter
the post-electicn situation, because the
3Iayor is to be the nest Controller anyhow.
Senator Flinn was asked what he thought
of the proposition. He did not deny that
such a thins hal 1)3ti considered, but said
it would not do. When asked for a reason
why it should not be he said there was no
reason why it should be.
"It would save the Mayor the trouble of
going out and making stump speeches, and
the Republicans the trouble of trying to
defeat him, wouldn't it?"
Enjojs the Spice of" Lire.
"Oh, well," replied the Senator, laugh
ins, 'vre must have some trouble. It cives
variety, and variety, you know, is the spice
of lile. I tase lots of spice in mine."
Relative to the Mayor's nomination by
the Democrats lor Controller and the ap
parent desire of certain politicians to exact
pledges from him in return, a political
leader yesterday submitted some history of
the rar'y. showing that, while heretofore
Republicans have been indorsed on the
Democratic ticket, they have never been
isked to pledge themselves to its support.
The statement reads:
In 1SS7 the Democratic Convention that
nominated Hr. JIcKenna cordially and
unanimously indorsed both ilorrow and
Denniston in tho following preamble and
resolution:
WnEnr-AS, The last City-Convention or tho
Democratic party orrittsburs unanimounly
indorsed the nomination of JZ. S. Morrow
for City Conti oiler, and Major J. F. Dennis
Jon for Citv Treasurer of Pittsburg, and
whereas said officers were elected and have
proven fjithful and zealous public servants
in the discharge of their respectivo trusts:
thcreiore, be it
Kesolved, ll'hat this convention does most
heartily recommend, the lc-elcction of said
officials to the offices of City Controller and
City Treasurer resuectively, in recognition
of their eminent fitness, integrity and tho
attention they have given to their official
duties during their term of office about to
expire.
Xo riedges Asked: From Candidates.
This was their second indorsement. In
K tncy were again mdoised by a Demo
cratic Convention or the same rea
sons and without conditions or pledges
of any kind, and at each indorsement
these gentlemen were the nominees of tho
Eepublican party and pledsed. to its sup.
port, Mayor McCarthy was put on the
Democratic ticket for Controller in 1S7S
through a sub-committee or the Democratic
City Committee and was elected, although
every pajer in this city at that time was
against mill except ono German paper. Mr.
McCarthy a- asaui nominated In 1SSI by the
convention w Inch nominated M-ijor Lyon
for Mai or and Alderman Son, ot the South
side, ulr TieabUier. Through a number of
complications McCarthy and Sorg were
"beaten.
Several new candidates were suggested
yesterday to iurthcr complicate the Re
publican Mayoralty situation. The most
interesting ones were Rev. RuoiF and
George Slieppard. Mr. Sheppard was also
talked of as a Controller candidate, his
name in that connexion meeting with more
approval. Mr. Sheppard is not seeking a
nomination, but has indicated that if it or
the Mayoralty is oflered he will accept.
Rev.Kuo(Ts name as a candidate for
Mayor created some surprise, but when it
was talked over the partv workers ex
pressed decided approval. Mr. Ruolf has
been pastor of the Srmthfield Street Ger
man Lutheran Church lor years, and is im
mensely popular among the German popu
lation. In his relisious views he is extremely
libsral and has always been a strong Re
publican. His friends ur;e that if nomi
nated he could be elected easily and would
make a desirable chief executive under all
circumstances. Mr. Ruoff has no political
aspirations, but said iast evening he would
gladly accept the nomination, as he con
sidered it an honor of which any man should
be proud.

FREE BRIDGES AGAIN.
The Committee to Sleet To-morrow Pur
chase of Old Bridges asd Construction or
"ew Ones to Bo Discussed The South
Twenty-seconjl Street Site the Favorite.
The Free Bridge Committee is to meet
to-morrow afternoon. The special object
of the meeting is to hear the reports of sub
committees appointed some months ago to
select available sites for new bridges and
ascertain what it would cost to buy the
present b-idces to the Southside. The
latter committee was ready to report six
weeks ago, and the figures it procured were
published. For some reason the other one
has held back. The activity developed at
the last meeting which seemed to promise
an early settlement of the question has
died out, and for weeks nothing has been
heard of lree bridges.
At to-morrow's meeting it is understood
the Site Committee will report a number of
locations with plans of each showing ap
proaches on both sides of the river, but for
the first new bridge it will advocate the
South Twenty-second street location. This
is Chief Bigelow's preference, the majority
of the sub-committee favor if, and it is ex
pected that the Bridge Committee will rec
ommend it to Councils.
George Holliday's plan to submit a 52,
000,000 bond issue to a vote of the people
for the purchase of all the Southside bridges
will probably be discussed by the commit
tee. Mr. Holliday had intended to present
it to Councils in a resolution, but on con
sultation decided to wait and discuss it in
committee first. A number of Councilmen
are in lavor of " Mr. Holliday's plan, but
Chief Bigelow will use his influence against
it unless the bond issue includes a couple
of millions for extension of the water plant,
street and park improvements.
HONEY FOE SPEED.
But the People Have No Tlmo Tor Slow,
but Well Bred Horses.
Gilbert Cnrry, a Nashville horse breeder,
registered at the Monongahela House yes
terday. He was on bis way to New York
to attend the winter sales. He says the
business has been overdone, and people are
as anxious to get out as they were
to jump in. The country is
flooded with well-bred horses,
but not many of them are speedy. In the
future horses will be sold on their merits,
and Mr. Curry predicts that many blooded
animals will soon be drawing drays and
milk wagons. The prices have dropped to
such an extent that only the wealthy men
can staud the strain. " Mr. Curry states
that the day is coniine when the
tendency will be upward again instead
of downward. He thinks this is a
good time tor new men to establish them
selves in the horse business. A fast ani
mal is sure to bring a first-class price al
ways. Mr. Curry calls attention to the fact that
the dams of Xancy Hanks, Axtell, Aller
ton, Stamboul, Arion and other last ones
were not very speedy while the sires have
top-notch records on the tracks.

THE
LOTS OF GAS BELOW;
An
Expert Believes Tnat Deeper
Drilling Will Discover a
LARGE SUPPLY OF NATURAL FUEL.
Sew and Productive Territory Opened Up
in Armstrong County.
THE TREND OF GAS-BEAMXa STEATA
A. "W. McCollough, of Butler, was in tho
city yesterday. He has devoted much at
tention to the sources of the gas supply in
Western Pennsylvania. 3Ir. McCollough
takes an optimistic view of the prospects
for a large and long-continued supply of tho
natural fuel. He believes that liberal
probing with the drill will be amply re
warded. In discussing the probabilities of discover
ing new gas-producing territory he said:
"The gas well recently struck by The
Equitable Natural Gas Company, near New
Texas in Allegheny county, is located on a
slope of the southwestern extension of
what is known as the Apollo anticlinal.
This rock-wave takes its course northeast
and southwest between the Pinhook and
Murraysville axes, about midway and par
allel to them.
The Plow of the Gas.
'If a straight-edge be laid on a map of
Western Pennsylvania, at a .point a little
cast of loner New Texas, in Allegheny
county, and a line be drawn northeast to
the mouth of Cherry run at Crooked
creek, a short distance below Cochran's
Mills in Armstrong county, the line will
describe the location and trend of this axis.
The Kiskiminetas river cuts across and
flows over it. about V3 miles below the
town of Apollo. The general bearing of
the folding is North 47 East Between
the Kiskiminetas river and Crooked Creek
there is a deflection which changes its di
rection somewhat.
"Going southwest from Armstrong county
it enters Westmoreland county near the di
viding liue between Allegheny and Wash
ington townships, and E. M. Hukill's Syl
vas and George wells, struck a few years
ago north of Pine run, owed their high pres
sure to this uplift. The Pine run gas field
is located on a flank of this axis. Its wells
got their large flow iu a loner member
of the Venango group ot sands either
in the fourth or fifth sands and their
high pressure was due to the influence
of this strata-wave. Still iurthcr to the
southwest, in the vicinity of McGlaughlins
town, in Westmoreland county, the West
Penn Gas Company and the Pittsburg
Plate Glass Company, struck some fair
wells, a year ago, on this anticlinal.
A New Gas Area Opened.
"A sip of sixor seven miles further to
the south'west along this same folding, and
a new gas area is opened by the late strike
of the Equitable Company. From Pine
Run to New Texas, the country is buried
under the lower barren measures, so that
it is next to impossible to trace the axis by
any exposure of a well-identified horizon;
and the only guide as to the presence, loca
tion and direction of the arch, is the lew
drill-holes through that section.
"The incompleteness and unreliability'tif
well records generally make this method of
determining the rise and dip of the sand
strata more uncertain than where there are
good exposures of coals or limestones, of
sure identity, tobe taken as key strata. At
the same time it is conceded that the drill
is the best demonstrator ot structural
geology.
"The new gas field just opened by the
Equitable Company is another witness to
the fact that that anticlinal, known by the
local name of Apollo, is the bearer of gas
areas upon its arched back and sloping
sides. All antichnals are not gas bearing.
Some arc. Many are not The Equitable's
new gas field is not on a new anticlinal.
Established by the Drill.
"Although it is true that the axis has not
been laid down on a map by the State Geo
logical Survey, yet its presence south of
Pucketta Creek has been suspected for
some time by persons who have given both
study and examination to the structural
formation of that section. It has remained
for the Equitable Company, however, to
establish the fact of its existence and per
sistence. The Equitable's new field is sig
nificant, in that it raises still higher the
probability of there being other undiscov
ered stores of gas packed away in sandy
reservoirs along the arch and flanks of that
anticlinal. To the northeast, beyond the
Kiskiminetas river, the Apollo anticlinal
like the Pinhook increases in elevation
to within about three miles of Crooked
creek. Its pronounced anticlinal character
vanishes a short distance to the northward,
beyond the latter stream. The termini ot
the Pinhook, the Apollo and the Murrys
ville axes, are not far north of the valley
of Crooked creek.
Strata Lifted Out of Place.
"The unusual thickness of the sand
deposits, and the solidity and weight of the
whole stratification of that section ot Arm
strong county, so effectually resisted the
uplifting force of the crust undulations, at
the time ot the mountain upheaval to the
eastward,in Clearfield and Cambria counties,
that along Crooked Creek, the proud rock
waves were literally stayed, and the
anticlinal swells came to an end. The whole
stratification along that creek was thus
lifted out of place; and there is a transverse
section of country across the ends of the
three anticlinals named, that is elevated
out ot the horizontal to such an extent
as to make a great cross cut uplift, to the
westward, as far as the Allegheny river.
"For geological reasons, Armstrong
county is destined to be the great gas-producing
county of Western Pennsylvania in
the near future. There are several foldings
that stretch across it from end to end, be
sides the three that die upon its bosom. To
the anticlinal rise of these various arches
must be added the mnnoclinal lisc (the rise
of the whole strata) from the southwest to
wards the northeast, at au average rate of
18 feet to the mile. (
riows to the Heights.
"Gas pressure always being toward the
highest point, it follows that its ascent will
be along the trend of these arches, lrom the
counties to the southwest toward the
northeast end. Hence, we will fiud the
highest pressure and largest volume of gas
indwells drilled into these northeast depos
its. This has been recently demonstrated
to be literally true.
"The wellat Walker's Mills, on Crooked
Creek, on the eastern slope ot the Pinhook
anticlinal, belonging to the Pittsburg Plate
GUiss Company, drilled several months ago,
has supplied, iu heat units, the equivalent
of 1,000 tons ot coal every 24 hours, and has
been shoving the gas 25 miles while it
did it
"There is no well the equal of it iu the
State, but there are more to follow in Arm
strong county.
"The geologic conditions for producing
g3 of high pressure and largo volume
localize in Armstrong county. I can see
no grounds in looking over all the gas
fields. lor pessimistic prophecy as to the
future of the natural gas supply. '
Possibilities of Deeper Drilling.
"Hopeful possibilities hinge upon deeper
drilling. Vast stores of deep-buried de
posits there may bo of which we know
now nothing. There are uo les3 than 20 gas
bearing sands, from and including the But
ler gas sand, (the saud immediately over
lying the Venango first oil sand, or Mur
raysville gas sand), in descending order to
the Portago group of sands to say nothing ,
of the great limestones far below. These
sand strata have each and all been pro
ductive of gas in different localities in
Western Pennsylvania.
"The drill may add strays hereafter to
the present column ot gas sands, until there
shall be tabulated two scores instead of
one. Wonderful revelations are yet to be
made by deeper tesU."
PITTSBUKG
Witnesses Eoruso to Testify In the Case Be
fore the Alderman.
The case of Agent O'Brien, of the Hu
mane Society, against Gill Hunter for par
ticipating in a dog fight on November S, at
Schouer's place on East street, was heard
before Alderman Braun yesterday. A
number of witnesses were called
but they all refused to testify for fear
ofincriminating themselves.
A lively tilt occurred between Attorney
Donahue and Itamsey over whether the
witnesses should answer the questions. At
torney Ramsey said that the society was
not organized for the purpose of dragging
citizens into court to be fined 55 or 510 for a
little amusement, the fine eventually reach
ing the pockets of the officers ot the so
ciety. Attorney Donahue said fhat a man
who" would pitch two dogs against
each other was worse than a
prize fighter. After trying for some
time to get satisfactory answers
Attorney Donahoe requested that the case
be sent to court, where he felt sure the wit
nesses would be compelled to answer. He
said: "The idea of a witness coming here
one day, pleading guilty and paying a fine
for an offense and then absolutely for
getting nil about the circumstances the next
day, as Beveral witnesses have done in this
case, is a matter for the court to settle."
The Alderman reserved his decision until
Monday nooq.
ABBAHGED TEE SCALE.

The straighteners' wages at the Edgar

FAVORING PITTSBURG SOHEWHAT.
The Columbian I xpress for Chicago a lit
tle Eefore Eed-lime.
BOMB P0IXTEES FOE EDEORBANITIS
The new schedules ior all the Pennsyl
vania lines go into effect to-day. There
are some important changes in the running
of through trains East and Westas will be
seen by glancing at the full time tnbles
published elsewhere in this paper. The
changes are generally in Pittsburg's favor,
and Bome of them were made, no
doubt, in deference to the desire of the
road's patrons here. The alterations in the
schedule for the main line eastward have
been already noted and explained in Tun
Dispatch," but of those in the Pennsyl
vania lines westward a word or two may
be said.
The limited lor Chicago now leaves Pitts
burg at 11:40 at night, city time, instead of
9:45 p. M. The Columbian express, a train
upon which no extra charge will be made,
which will suit Pittsburgers very well, will
leave tor Chicago at 0:15 P. M., city time.
This train will reach Chicago at 10 o'clock
the next morning.
Arranged to Suit Pittsburgers.
A similar train connecting with trains
from New York will leave Pittsburg at
9:30 P. 1L, city time, arriving at St. Louis
at 5:15 r. M. the next day. These trains
have been specially arranged to
suit Pittsburgers, and General Pas
senger Agent E. A. Pord .hopes
thev will be appreciated. The Chicago ex
press, kpown as No. 1, continues to leave
at 12:30 midnight, city time, but the Cleve
land night train, which med to leave at
12:15 midnight, will in future depart at
12:25 midnight, citv time. The trains for
Chicago leave Pittsburg at 8.15 A. SL nnd 1
p. M, city time, and for St. Iiouiswt 11:50
p. m., the limited's connection, and at 12:30
p. m., 9:10 A. M. and 12:15 noon, all city
time.
In the Fort "Wayne's suburban service no
changes ot much importance have been
made. Sewickleyans should notice, how
ever, that their last hope at night will be
the Chicago exnress No. 1, leaving Pitts
burg at 12:30 and Allegheny at 12:40 the
Cleveland express no longer stopping at
Sewickley except on Saturday nights,
when the" Chicago exnress doesn't run.
A Hint to Lady Shippers.
It is also of interest to suburbanites that
between 2 P. M. and 3:30 P. ar. no trains
leave Allegheny ladies goii.g home from
a shopping excursion must remember that
the 2:15 r. 31. Leetsdale train no longer
runs. On Sundays there will be only one
train in place or the two sections after
church, and it will leave Allegheny at 12:40,
city time. The cry which is still going up
for something fast'er than that dreamy old
slow-coach, the 11:30, after the theaters
is unauswere 1. A division of this train
into two sections, one to run through.say to
Emsworth without stopping and with but
one or two other stops to Sewickley, and
the other to remain a general accommoda
tion, would be a great boon, especially to
Sewickley where theater-goers are many
and would be more numerous if the journey
down lrom the city after the play was les's
of a penance.
THE DBAW1KG DID HOT 0CCUE.
All the Stockholders of the Cliarlerol Land
Company "tt ere Not Present.
Colonel .1. "V. Jloore, one of the stock
holders of the Charleroi Land Company, re
turned from the town last evening. He
said the drawing for the company's property
did not occur, as all the stockholders were
not prisent. The Colonel laughed about
Mr. Weiman's description of the division
as a lottery scheme. He considered it a
capital joke. The iacts are these, he con
tinned: "The business of the company has reached
a point where i. is no longer necessary to
hire a superintennent, and we desire to dis
solve the corporation. We decided to di
vide the property remaining among the
stockholders by drawing lots. That is all
there is in it. I expect the affairs ot the
company will be closed at a meeting of
those interested in Pittsburg next week,
when the division will be made. The best
of feeling prevails between the stockhold
ers." School Children Practicing Charity.
Soho school was a pretty sight last Fri
day. The pupils had been asked to bring
contributions ior the Society for the Im
provement of the Poor and they responded
with a very large open hand. Some brought
potatoes, some canned goods, some brought
clothes and some brought fruit, some
brought coffee and tea until the hall of the
school looked like a country store.
To Hunt In Porest County.
There will be quite a hunting party leave
Pittsburg on Tuesday for Forest county.
Their objective point is Jlarieuville, where
game is said to bo plentiful. The party
will be composed of John F. Cox, the attor
ney, "William "Wilson, C. A. Vaudervoort
