New Yobk, May 29. The Plttsbnrg Players'
League beat the New Yorks to-day thrones,
their tine work In the field and by timely bat
ting. If Crane had not been so wild the score
would be different, he having seat ten men to
first on balls, and added to this were three of
wildest kind of wild pitches. The errors made
by the Smoky City lads were quite excusable,
considering the heavy batting of their oppo
rents. Maul pitched an excellent game up to
the seventh. He was hit very hard, but through
headwork, bv scattering the hits, he kept the
home team out of reach.
In the seventh Inning Gore started with a home
run hit to left field, Slattery following with a
single, and then Connor made a three-bagger.
O'Kourke and Blchardson singled, and four
earned runs came m. The visitors were on the
alert, and scored three In their hair of the eighth
Inning. Then Jew York started in and got In
two runs, tleing the score.
In the tenth Inning the Giants were shut out.
When the visitors rame to bat In their hair of the
Inning Hanlon started the bill rolling with a hit
that Connor fumbled, the runner tiklng second.
"When Vlsner came to bat his colleagues bcggei' of
him to do something. Msner replied by hitting
the ball for two baes, scoring the winning run.

DOGS ON THE TIUIL.
The Two Convicts Who Escaped
From Trenton Prison Are Badly
WANTED EITHER DEAD OR ALIYE.
Six Bloodhounds and a Determined Fosse
Are in Pursuit.
BOTH TEEI DESfEKATE 'CBIMINALS
rSFZCI.lL TBLEQRAM TO THI IJISPATCn.l
Tbenton, May 29. Thomas Thomas and
Henry Jackson, tho colored convicts who
escaped from the State prison last evening
are still at large, and although six blood
hounds hare been added to assist in the
hunt for them, the prison anthorities thinK
the prospect of their recapture very poor.
"Word reached the prison during the night
that two colored men acting suspiciously
were in the woods between Bordentown and
Crosswicks, and it was determined at once
to use the dogs in an effort to bring the
fugitives back.
Before daylight eight deputy keepers
started out with the hounds. Their in
structions were to remain out if justified by
the possibility of success all summer, and if
they met the desperadoes at all to bring
them back dead or alive. There will un
doubtedly be a desperate struggle between
the prison keepers and the bloodhounds on
one side and the fugitive convicts on the
other side, should they encounter each other
in a field fair for a fight.
. A TOUGH CITIZEN.
!? "Thomas carries enongh brass and wick
edness for a dozen ordinary highwaymen,"
saia James Turnbull. a veteran turnkey,
to-day. "There is murder in his heart all
the time. He will 'fight like an enraged
beast for liberty unless our men have the
luck to corner him and Jackson bo com
pletely that resistance will be useless. They
will hare the biggest-sized struggle on their
hands that has ever fallen to their lot The
convicts have a revolver. There are seven
bullets in it, and Thomas will empty every
chamber unless he is in a fix so that he will
be unable to use the weapon. He's not a
tan man, but is powerfully built and as
cunning and wicked as he is strong."
There was a plot to break out of prison a
year ago. A dozen convicts were concerned
in it, and I've always had a notion that
Thomas was the ringleader. Had any at
tempt been made to carry the plot out mur
der would have been done in the prison at
that time. Fortunately, we learned of the
plans and nine convicts were put in a
dungeon cell on bread and water, but
Thomas was not among them. We had no
proof and have hone now that he was in the
plot, but I never felt entirely certain on the
Domt before. I do feel positive now.
ALL AFBAID OP HIM.
"The convicts were put in dark cells.
They squealed, but I believe they withheld
the name of Thomas for fear he would kill
them. Thomas behaved SDlendidly so far
as you could see by looking at him and
watching his actions. Jackson's behavior
was always good, too, and they would have
fooled anybody into the belief that they
could be trusted."
"About when do yon think they will be
caught?"
"I don't think they will ever be caught.
Hen with their nerve are not recaptured
every day."
The Trenton police gave the prison people
a helping hand in the hunt last night and
to-day, but the only thing they have caught
so far is the notion that it is no use to try
and capture the men.
"They are 500 miles away from Trenton
by this time," said Chief HcChesney to
night. Head Keeper Patterson has offered a re
ward of $200 for the return of the fugitives.
Captain Parker, the old turnkey who was
sandbagged by them, was removed to his
home to-day and is bedfast. His physician
says he is recovering from the effects of ttfe
blow that he received, but nevertheless he
will allow no one except the members of his
family to converse with him.
DEFYING THE GOVEEOTIEHT.
A Portion of tho People ol Newfoundland
Rcfnse to Pay Tnxes.
rSFECIAL TELEOHAM TO THE DISPATCH,
Halifax, N. S., May 29. The trouble
on the so-called French shore of the western
coast of Newfoundland is rapidly ap
proaching a crisis. The steamer Har
low brings word that in consequence of
the action of the commander of the French
warship at Bay St. George, requiring the
inhabitants to take up their nets, the people
have refused to recognize the right of the
Government ot Newfoundland to collect im
port duties. One of the most prominent
merchants of that place was one ofthe first
to take action by declining to pay any duty
on some goods from Halifax received by
steamer Harlow, in the face of the customs
officials.
The reason given was, that unless protec
tion is afforded by the Government the right
to levy a duty cannot be maintained. This
action will probably be indorsed and carried
out by all the inhabitants along the coast
line in dispute. The return of duties ille
gally imposed for the last 30 years is also
urgently discussed by the indignant people.
Serious trouble is apprehended there soon,
and the war ship Emerald has reached the
scene.

A short time afterward Officer Meyer
found him unconscious on the lot and sent
him home. A doctor was called in. but all

rSFECIAL TELBORAH TO THE DISPATCH.l
New Yobk, May 29. A big fight to have
eight hours instead of nine fixed as a day's
labor will be begun in Brooklyn next week
by ,the Eoofers, Tin and Sheet and Iron
Workers' Union. On April 30 circular
notices were sent by the officers of the union
"to the bosses that on and after Jnne 1 eight
hours would constitute a day's labor. This
action on the part of the union was unex
pected, tne unions in this city having given
the bosses notice that the new mle would
not go into effect until September 1. It was
thought as long a time at leat would be
given in Brooklyn to make arrangements
ior the proposed change.
All the leading employers in Brooklyn
have determined to resist the demands of the
men', and have organized a tin and sheet
iron roofers association for that purpose.
They say that they are prepared for such a
radical change. Many contracts have been
entered into on the basis of the present hours,
and a change from nine to eight hours would
be simply ruinous to many who only secured
their contracts after sharp competition. To
avoid a possible general strike and the con
sequent disarrangement of the extensive
building operations all over the city,
the bosses proposed to pay by the
hour 40 cents nn hour for roofers and
35 cents lor shop hands. The union re
jected this proposal and resolved to stop
work on Monday unless its demand was
complied with. The association of bosses
has determined to make a stubborn fight
against the union, and will begin it to-morrow
by virtually locking out their employes.
No association 'shop is to be opened unless
the men agree to work nine hours or to ac
cept pay by the hour.
The bosses say they will hold out all sum
mer, if necessary. The New York bosses
have agreed, it is said, not to employ anyoi
the locked-out Brooklyn men. A leading
real estate dealer said to-day: "This is go
ing to be an interesting labor struggle, as it
is really the first great fight over the eight
hour rule in the State ot New York. The
closing of the shops of the tin and sheet iron
workers will mean an almost absolute sus
pension of building operations in this city
for some time to come.

HIS PRESENCE SECURED FOR A FEW

Dislike for Special Trains Almost Keeps

Mayor Gourley, Chairman Hamilton, of
the Citizens' Committee, and Colonerj. "W.
Echols had an experience witb President
Harrison yesterday that resulted in expres
sions from the trio that they did not care
much whether the Chief Executive of the
nation favored Pittsburg with his presence
or not. The truth of the matter was, they
were snubbed in a very blunt and emphatic
manner, wholly distasteful and unpleasant
to the chief executive of the city and the
representatives of the Citizens' Committee,
who had gone to no small amount of trouble
in arranging to mate the President's stop
here a pleasant one.
When the second section of train 27o. 9
came into the Union station yesterday morn
ing the committee, together with a Dis
patch reporter, were shown into theBpecial
car bv Depot Master Butler. The car was
occupied by President Harrison, Secretaries
Busk and 'Windom, Postmaster General
Wanamaker and Private Secretary Haiford.
The President received the committee cour
teously,and listened to Colonel Echols, who
acted as'spokesman, and extended an invita
tion to Mr. Harrison to stop here on his way
home. f Then began a long list of interroga
tories as to the programme through which
he would be expected to go, and what time
he would be able to get away again.
Laboring With Ibe President.
Colonel Echols and Mayor Gourley assured
the President that he could have a special
train to take him home at any hour he
wished.
"Special train, did you say?" asked the
President. '
"Yes, sir. We have arranged with Mr.
Pitcairn to have a special train placed at
your disposal. "We can then have an in
formal reception at the Monongahela House
and a brief talk at Mechanical Hall, where
will be a very large number of distinguished
and representative men from all over the
country, who are counting much on hearing
you," replied Colonel Echols.
"Oh, no," broke in the President, "I
don't believe I can undertake it. I am
sure I will not attend any meeting, nor will
I ride home on a special train. I won't
have time. I must be home by 9 o'clock
Saturday night, so I don't think it is worth
while to discuss the matter further."
The committee tried to convince Presi
dent Harrison he would be able to get home
on a regular train by not later than 10
o'clock, but he declined to accept that con
dition as satisfactory. He laid down as an
ultimatum that if he could stop here an
hour or two, not be expected to do' anything
while here, and be landed safely in Wash
ington on a Tegular train not later than 9
o'clock Saturday night, he might consider
the matter, and wire either "yes" or "no"
from Cleveland.
The committee left, little less than dis
gusted. "He doesn't want to come," said
one, as they walked up the platform.
"Well, I don't care whether he does or

Hick Headache
IS a complaint from which many suffer
and few are entirely free. Its causa
i3 indigestion and a sluggish liver, tha
cure for which is readily found in tho
use of Ayers Pills.
" I have found that for sick headache,
caused by a disordered condition of the
stomach, Ayer's Pills are the most re
liable remedy." Samuel C. Bradburn,
Worthington, Mass.
"After the use of Ayer's Pills for
many years, in my practice and family,
I am justified in saying that they are an
excellent cathartic and liver medicine
sustaining all the claims made for them."
W. A. Westfall, M. D., V. P. Austin
& N. W. Railway Co., Burnet, Texas. t
"Ayer's Pills are the best medicine)
known to me for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by a dis
ordered stomach and liver. I suffered
for over three years from headache, in
digestion, and constipation. I had no
appetite and was weak and nervous
most of the time. By using three boxes
of Ayer's Pills, and at the same time
dieting myself, I was completely cured."
Philip Lockwood.Topeka, Kansas.
" I was troubled for years with indi
gestion, constipation, and headache. A,
few boxes of Ayer's Pills, used in small
daily doses, Restored me to health.
They are prompt and effective." W.H.
