RAILROAD INTERESTS.

LACKAWANNA MEN DISSATISFIED.
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SETTLE THEIR
DIFFERENCES WITH THE MANAGEMENT
Scranton Penn, Aug. 16-Continued mutterings
Of discomfort come from along the line OF the
Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad due
TO the delay answering the wage scales proposed
by the engineers and trafnmen. For month this
question has been in the balance, and the confer
ence Of the engineers, which was TO have been held
here yesterday with General Superintendent Rus
sell, has been put until Friday next, while
Friday is now fixed the time for hearing the
trainmen. The men want the Rock Island mileage
system Of paying, instead of the per diem system.
Besides the wage system. there is discomfort con-
corning the changes In runs. many or them being
long that men. who were heretofore on the short
runs and enabled get to their homes the same
day on return trips, obliged TO lay up overnight
away from home at expense they object to. The
long runs from this city north and south together
with the laying off Of many hands, despite large
increases in freight. business, have caused
usual amount Of feeling among the Lackawanna
men but on the whole they are saying little and
only awaiting the developments Of the coming
ferences.

THE LAYTON FUND.
The People of the Country Are Making Il
Generous response.

Generous Eesponse.
Washington, Dec. 25.--The total sub
scription to the Lsawtop fund UP to noon
Of Christmas day was S14 229.55. The
committee has determined to continue
the work at Least until the second Of
January when 1t Is hoaed a sufficient
fund will have been subscribed to p,are
the widow and children Of General
Lawten beyond the possibility Of want
and enable tire mother to carry out
the fathers fondest wishes that his
children should receive a proper edu-
cation.
1t is not at all Improbable that the
fund will eventually reach $4,000,
The original intention was to raise
only a fund sufficient to pay off the
mortgage Of about $4,000 on the Law
ton homestead at Redlands, Cal, but
the generous responsa to the arneal
encourages the committee to believe
that enough money will be subscribed
beyond that sum to place Mrs. I4awton
ard her children above want for the
rest Of their lives.
Secretary Root and Adiutant Cen
eral Corbin sent personal appeals to
about $50 bankers ard business men
in New York. with the result of a
large increase TO the fund. Among
those who have promised suhscriD-
tons are: William K. Vanderbilt

P. Huntington. 81 900; Thomas F.
Ryan of New York, $1,000; Miss Helen
