men In a boat he eluded them and took the
woods down the Anacostia road. Here he

had provided him with clothing. It was about
5 O'Clock that Sergeant McCathran learned
that the refuge was still in the woods and ac-
companled by Officer Mari, rode out to bring
him in if possible. Mergen proved to be fleet
runner, but at that point there are no fences
and he was invariably headed off till at last,
being completely exhausted, he gave up the
race, and about $50 was turned over to the
workhouse authorities again.

for forgiveness. Some fast a half OF each day

WAGES IN CITY AND COUNTRY.
Capt. Symons Explains Why the City
Laborers Are Rated Highest.

Several days ago Mr.. W. 8. White, in letter
to the Commissioners, inquired il a difference
is made in the amount paid for wagons, carts
and laborers by the District government be-
tween those employed in and out of the city.
He also asked that the employees be paid twice
a month.
Capt. symons was called upon for an express
sion Of his views, and today submitted Q re-
port in which he says that it is Q well-estab-
lished fact throughout the country that labor
in the country is paid for at less rates than in
the city and 1t is but justice that it should be So
as the cost of living in the city is ordinarily
very much more than it is in the country.
Nearly all the laborers employed on the county
roads, says Capt Symons, have their own
homes, where they raise truck. The wages
paid for labor in the county is S1.25 per day
aud 81 so in the city.
