ALBANY, N. ", Aug. 1.-The strike, at
least in Albany does not look rs If it was
ended. The Central road. which was TO
have moved large number Of freight
trains al West Albany Wednesday, only
moved one, and that consisted of only
thirty-hve cars. IL will be seen that this
Is but petty move when it is known thae
on an average 100 freight trains a day,
each consisting Of about fifty cars, are
moved. The road did succeed in closing
the draw Of the freight bridge last even
Ing and one train was drawn from the ap-
proach. About fifty train hands from the
Michigan Central railroad have arrived
here and will assist in raising the block

received set back in the strike on tho
Delaware and Hudson Canal eompany's
road. The large freight house Of that road
is deserted, and the depot presents the ap-

1t Was a Heavy Blow.
The Importance OF this move must not
be underestimated The road from Albany
north to Saratoga, Montreal and other
points, as well as to Vermont, Is used by
the West Shore, New York Central and
Hudson River and the Pennsylvania ran
roads. All Of these are therefore affected
by the strike. II is thought however, that
the road will soon effect a settlement The
Boston and Albany and Fitchburg roads
are in danger, but they will probably stop

things must happen soon, either the strike
will become prodigious OF else il win die.
Pinkerton Men Badly wounded.
The first affray Of the strike occurred at
West Albany last night. The assertion
had been frequently made that If tho
PinkertOn men attempted to move the
freight they would be stoned The de-
tectives were evidently scared, for when a
crowd Of spectators gathered on the bridge
they determined 20 clear Il before, they
started freight train. Accordingly they
moved up toward the crowd Their orders
were not obeyed, and in an instant tho
fellows began 10 use their clubs The
crowd retaliated and when the city polica
cleared the bridge, two Pinkerton men
were found badly hurt and one spectator
had fractured skull The city police say
that the PinkertOn men had no business to
rOut the crowd.
Vice President Webb Satisfied.
Third Vice President Webb arrived in
the city last night, and after looking over
the ground, said he was satisfied and left
for New York.
Mr. Bissell, superintendent, said: I'VE
have got the passenger trains running on
good time and we win clear out the entire
West Albany yard today. One hundred
Boston men have just arrived and will
help us. The strikers places are nearly

Firemen Not Ordered Ont.
John w. Reed, secretary Of the local
order Of the Brotherhood of Firemen, saws
that he never stated that the firemen wero
ordered out, and any such statement is un-
true in every particular. The only word
he has received is that they may strike
without losing their standing in the order.
Committees from the Delaware and Hud-
son railroad strikers were in conference
with General Superintendent Hammond
all night. Mr. Hammond says that the
men may come back today II they do not
