Strike Imminent at Chicago.
ALBANY. N. Y, Aug. l5.-The Central
railroad has broken the blockade here,
and last evening four freight trains were
moved west and three south. Each train
was protected by about twenty Pinker-
tons. No opposition was made by the
strikers. The men on the Delaware and
Hudson road went back to work last
night without any concessions being made
by the road. The strike, so far as the
roads are concerned, seems to be over.
There was fracas at East Albany last
evening between Pinkerton men and
strikers.

toward embarrassing the company's oper-
