battle, the other had victory in its
grasp AID both wcro correspondingly
happy. But both the officers of the
Central and tho striking railroaders
showed evident anxiety TO have Mr.. I.
V. Powderly arrive upon the scene. 1t
was an anxiety which plainly showed
that neither side was so happy as it
pretended To be- Mr.. Pow0crly is
looked upon as sort of golden key
who will unlock the difficult and intricate
situation. Concession without loss OF
dignity seems TO be the problem which
the General Master Workman will be
called on to solve, and, though the Off
GERS OF the Central say they will not
stoop TO arbitrate with an outside per-
son, il was a significant fact that
Third Vice President Webb staid late
in the city in order to meet him. Mr..
Powderly, accompanied by Messrs.
Hayes and Devlin. of the general ex-
ecutive board, reached the city late
Friday night. They refused to talk.
The report that freight is being
moved to and from West Albany is er
roneous. The cost of maintaining the

evening a number Of the Pinkerton men
stationed on the track in the northern
portion of this city were stoned by
persons hidden in or about houses in
that neighborhood. Five received in
iuries and were taken TO tho Pinkerton
car in the Union station, where their
wounds were dressed by physicians.
Two received severe scalp wounds. A
fragment of brick was taken from tho
wound of one.
