prominent one whose name appears on the
blacklist" It is large factor in the pat
ent medicine line, and its sales are felt by
the retail dealers. On "Wednesday a repre-
sentative of the coupon plan" called on
the firm and spent the entire day trying to
get an agreement from Fleishman s. Co. not
to sell medicines in the future at less than
the fixed prices. The effort was fruitless,
and the firm smiles at the proposed ''freez-
ing-out" scheme. Mr.. Fleishman was seen
yesterday, and asked for statement regard
ing the matter. He said:
Can Charge His Own Prices.
SIN the first place desire to say that
there is no more reason why a certain price
should be maintained for patent medicine
than for collars and cuffs, or other
articles in the furnishing goods line. 1 do
not think it is right to sell an article at 81
when can sell it for 20 cents and still have
a respectable profit. l count that it is rob-
bing the Door man who only makes. per-
haps, 81 so day, to charge him two-thirds
of q davis wages for something that Is not
worth over 30 cents. There is any quantity
of these dollar medicines handled that
not worth 80 cents, just because the proprie-
tors are so immensely wealthy that they can
dictate prices.
"I.have been able to sell these goods at
reasonable prices, and 1 propose to continue
it. L am under no obligation to the drug
gists, and although the proprietors would
not sell us u dozen bottles of medicine icr
ten times its value, can get all the goods L
want, and am not afraid of not being able
to keep it up."
While Mr.. Fleishman was talking, his
partner, MIR. May, was busy checking off a
large consignment of medicines that had just
arrived. There appeared to be enough in
the lot to supply a large wholesale drug
house for weeks, but Mr.. May said the order
would have to be duplicated in few days.
81 like this sort of thing" he said. 81 am
glad to see the druggists take these steps.
1t will be all the worse for them and all the
better for me. You see. it is the most logical
matter of fact conceivable, that il all the
retail druggists enter into an agreement not
to sell the goods for less than dollar, and
sell the same article for IS or 20 cents, 1
am going to do all the business. know
how to get the goods, and will continue to
get them" and Mr.. May gave the reporter
wink and went to work again.

NEW AIR SHIP IDEA.

John NJ. Bruce Suggests Plan to Reduce
Weight in the Apparatus.
John NJ. Bruce, prominent citizen Of
Allegheny, has novel idea regarding al,
ships. Speaking last night of Prof j.
Renard's invention, Mr.. Bruce said:
"It occurred to me in 1882 that an air
ship built on the principle of the invention
of Prof. Renard. could be operated from
place to place if controlled by motor
trollv running on an elevated cable line or
enclosed railway, in which an electric motor
car of modest dimensions could move and
from which a cable of three insulated wires
could extend up to the motor in the ship.
1t seems possible to construct such line
and furnish a current which would be en-
tirely under the control of the engineer
operating the vessel. The suggestion is
offered for the consideration of all who find
any interest in the possible success of aerial
navigation, which at best seems like going
up with soap bubble"

HE WAS TOO LIBERAL.
Pittsburg Presbytery Of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church
REJECTS A YOUNG CANDIDATE
Because of His Belief in the Now Famous
East End Platform.
HE EXCEPTs TO THE CHURCH's POLICY

Two candidates for ordination were before
the Pittsburg Presbytery of the Reformed
Presbyterian Church, held at Williamsburg
last evening. j. A. Burnett, acting pastor
of the Williamsburg church, was rejected.
because of his liberal views, while the other
candidate, Charles Kingston, a colored
graduate of the Allegheny Seminary, got
through. Rev. D. McAllister acted as
moderator.
The usual theological examination was
successfully passed, when three members
said they had each question to ask Mr..
Burnett
Rev. D. B. Wilson-Do you approve Of
the doctrines laid down in the East End
platform as to the right of members of the
r. P. Church to vote for Federal officers?
Mr.. Burnett decline to answer.
Rev. j. P. Wylle-Is the present po-
sition OF the church in refusing membership
to those incorporated with the United States
Government q scriptural position?
Mr. BIrnett-The present position of the
church on that question is not Scriptural.
Rev. j. T. Crozier-Does the Reformed
Presbytery Testimony and the Covenant of
1871 make political dissent term of COM
munion or leave it an open question?
Mr.. Burnett-In the present position of
the church it is an open question.
Mr.. Burnett was rejected by vote of 10
to 1, the latter being cast by the candidates
elder. S. R. Wells, but Kingston was
unanimously accepted. Mr.. Burnett gave
notice that he would appeal to the Synod.
The Presbytery left the matter Of filling the
pulpit OF the Williamsburg church to the
congregation.
Mr.. Burnett said after the meeting that
as his license to preach had not been re-
voked he considered himself still the pastor
of the Williamsburg church, but he would
leave himself in the hands of his congrega-
tion.
Among the distinguished people present
at last nights meeting was DR.. j. G.. Z.
Milligan, of New York. who is said to be
the leader Of the new movement that has
cost several young men besides Mr.. Burnett
their license to preach in the Reformed
Presbyterian Church.
II. W. Temple, one Of the boldest of the
independent young ministers, has received
call to the United Presbyterian Church,
OF Washington, Pa, to succeed Rev. j. r.
johnson, at a salary of $4,000 q year. Mr..
Temple has not yet decided to accept.

the Southside.

an oil tank at Oliver & Roberts South
Ninth street wire mill and damaged the
building and machinery to the extent of
81, 900. An alarm was sent in from station
132 and by the time the engines arrived the
flame from the oil was quite large. On ac-
count of there being but one of the South
side engines In good condition at present a
second alarm was sent. However, the South
side fremen had the fire extinguished before
the companies answering the second alarm
had arrived. The oil which was set on fire
was being used as fuel in. place of coal.

red-bot iron that had been dropped in tine
oil. No one was injured by the fire.

ON ANOTHER MURDER.
Fitzsimmons Now Charged With the
Terrible Umburger Crime.
JOHN MYERS SINGULAR LETTER.
The Despsrado's Face Recalls Scene in
Lonely Jennertown.
MURPHY's CONDITION GROWING WORSE

There is apparently no end to the sensa-
tional developments that cluster around the
history OF Fitzsimmous, tie desperate and
murderer of Detective Gilkinson. He is
alleged to have been connected
with almost every crime of note that
has happened in the last decade. --latest
and worst of all comes the apparently con-
vincing proof that he and not the Nicely
boys. is guilty of the terrible tragedy on the
Umberger farm two years ago. A man has
identified him as the peddler who appeared
at Jennertown on the evening of the muir
der. An exact similarity in the markings
of the rifle on the balls which killed the
farmer and the detective is said to have
been discovered.
This startling information came to The
DISPATCH late last night in letter from
John Myers, who is represented as a reputa-
BILE citizen of Homestead. 1t was too late to
confirm the facts in the letter. An attempt
was made to reach Hon estead by wire, but
the telegraph Office was closed. The letter
is as follows:
