REFUSED
EMPLOYEES DEMANDS

New York. Sept 2.-Refusing def
nltely TO grant the demands OF the EN-
ployees OF the elevated system for q
union scale Of wages in the subway.
August Belmont president Of the In
terborough company. informed the Ia
Dor leaders at a conference in the poll.
tician-inanciers house ia East Thir-
ty-fourth street. that he could Get all
the men he wanted at SO day for ten
hours work and could not see why he
should pay more for fewer hours. The
conference lnsted about two hours, and
when it was over both the representa-.
tives OF the unions and Mr. Belmont
said no more meetings would be held
1--WE could not come to any agree
ment." said Grand Chief Stone of the
International Brotherhood Of Locomo
tive Engineers, "and it's now up to
Mr. Belmont"
What action the union men would
take in regard TO Mr.. Belmonts refusal
they would not say. An the labor lead
ers asserted they were anxious to avoid
strike. but they said that unless Mr..
Belmont changed his mind soon they
would resort 10 extreme measures.
Although firm in his refusal TO pay
union wages in tile subway, it was said
yesterday Mr.. Belmont was inclined tc
grant all the other demands Of the men
Even on the question Of wages, 1t was
said. he was willing TO offer com
promise by which the men eventually
would get what they asked. His prom
lses. however. were indefinite, and as
he refused TO permit himself TO be pin
ned down to any direct statement OF
what he would do the leaders decided
they could not accept his proposition.

and the cost would then increase. as
the mud would have to be carried
away. He thought the government
would not charge more than Z cents OF
s cents a yard. lie thought this city
should get at least an appropriation Of
$50 600 a year.
Josiah Marvil said the board should
decide at once whether the appropria-
ton they were to ask for vas TO be
given i'm lump sum or be continuous.
w. w. Lobdell said II was hard for
the wardens to define where the port
warden's line ended and the govern
ment line started.
William Lawton said Congress had
decided the natural bank Of the stream
ended the government authority.
Captain Wilson said the primary OBJ
ject OF establishing the port warden
lines is to enable the government to
maintain the channel in stream.
Major Flagler has an order from the
Secretary of War to establish the lines
along the Christiana river
President Savery said he thought the
government intended to make the river
sufficiently narrow to make the flow Of
water swift enough to keep the stream
clear and thereby save the expense Of
dredging. This city demands a quiet
and wide stream and not narrow,
swift one. He thought It would be a
mistake to allow the government to
narrow the stream.
Mr.. Lawson reminded the members
that this city gets sS6.0OO.O 900 in COM
merce every year and It cannot get an
appropriation Of s25,O0O year. He
stated that Major Flagler had express
ed surprise at these conditions and
thought the city could be a little inde-
pendent.

tee from the Board Of Trade and will
also meet with the Board Of Port War

W. A. Reilly. a member OF the board
wanted the board to extend an invita-
tion to the Union Veteran Legion tC
hold their annual encampment In this
city next year. He explained 20 the
members the great benefits this cit,
would derive from the encampment He
said there were about 10000 member,
i'm the organization and at least 6O0l

'NIGGER BUTCH" AGAIN
ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE
Lifetime Prisoner Pummels'
Warden Meserve But Is
Recaptured

Warden A. S. Meserve Of the county
workhouse was roughly used by Jackson
Walker, known as "Nigger Butch" a
lifetime murderer in that institution yes
terday afternoon. The convict took no
ton to escape and leaving his task Of
wood while the guards back was turned
disappeared In the woods adjoining the
quarry attached to the prison.
Warden Meserve and his guards i'm
mediately started in pursuit Of the fugi-
tive need the former succeeded captur-
ing him When the warden approached
the prisoner near siiverbrook station on
the Lancaster turnpike he consented to
go quietly back to the workhouse, but be-
fore going far suddenly turned upon the
prison official and struck him a powerful
blow in the face. The latter fell into a
small gully and Walker beat him into
insensibility with a stone. When he re-
vived he saw the murderer about a quart
er of a mile away and Immediately start
ed In pursuit. When he had gotten within
800 feet Of Walker he drew his revolver
and fired one shot at the ground to try
to stop the fleeing man. At this Walker
stopped and began to arm himself with
stones but several farm hands hearing
the report Of the revolver came to the
warden's assistance and Walker was tax
en- back TO jail. The latter had a wound
in mis- hand which ne said was done by
the bullet fired by Warden Meserve. but
DR.. Stubbs, who made an examination,
said the hand was probably cut by a barb
ed wire.
Walker escaped from the institution
about eleven months ago and went TO New
Castle to visit friends. For this escapade
he was not allowed TO leave his eel until
six weeks ago when his health began tc
fail and 1t was thought best to give him
some outdoor employment under the eyes
of the guards. He will now be locked ur
