HEMPSTEdD FIGHT ENDS.
Belmont automobiles Haze Clear
Way to Station.

Hampstead. Long Island, Oct a-rhe lons ar,,,,-
out fight between o. II. P. Belmont ana tba ,-,,la
hackmen for precedence at the station c,,~, ,e y
'hins OF the past, as working arrangement has
been reached which promises to be satisfactory IN
every one. The fight became acute recently, after
long period of quietness, when Luke F.agan a
hackInan, refused to shift his position in front Of
the station, so that MIR. Belmont's automobile
could draw in close to the curb and allow the
Duchess Of Marlborough to alight from IL with
some degree Of comfort. Since then the fight has
been warm. Luke, backed by the other hackn,en.
held his position Whenever a choice position was
vacant in front of the station Luke would drive
into it and would staytthere, despite the fact that
people had walk ofta hundred feet or more to
the station.
Tonight there aaspecial meeting of the local
board and, although for time 1t looked as if no
agreement would be reached a new diplomat arose
and things snooShed over. Hereafter Mr.. Bel
mont's automobiles and carriages and those of the
others In the colony will have the street in front
Luke Pagan and his fellows will alight from the
trains almost into the rigs.
Henry Sammis took the floor after g long fight
in the meeting and said there big open space
wagons, which big enough for a hundred
wagons. He proposed that the hackmen be allowed
to drive in there and solicit trade close to the steps
OF the arriving cars. He thought thrty-day trial
of this would prove satisfactory and then 1t could
be made permanent
The only opposition the plan, which vas
adopted, came from the driver of wagon,
who wanted to know why the open space should be
fall to pieces if a good stout express wagon hit
them.
