at IL O'Clock today, arrived at East
Albany at O'Clock, and will not be sent
any further west for the present. When
the train drew into the station, there
was a crowd of 600 there, but they
did not molest the train or crew. No
attempt will be made to move freight
out Of the West Albany yards until ad-

stencil which arises from the decaving

one of their own men. and danger sig
nal was flying, which was not observed
by the engineer.
