The Pinkertons Come to Grief.

ALBANY, Aug. 16.-Early this morn
ing as a freight train manned by Pinker-
ton men was passing the. Vanwoert CROSS
ing, several boys stoned the train. Two
Pinkerton men fred into the crowd, one
of the balls passing through the ankle of
John McCarty, a moulder, aged %, who
was standing ear by. The police ar
rested Robert Tyler, James Patterson
and Thomas O'Connor, three detectives.
Shortly after the shooting affray, Edward
Canary, a Pinkerton man, assaulted
Christopher Lang with a club, and he
was taken into custody. Another Pin
kerton man named Charles Paulins, who
was walking up the track at that point
swinging a loaded gun and revolver, was
arrested and jailed. The man McCarty
is in the hospital. The ball entered his
leg just above the ankle and came out OIL
the other side. The leaders in the strike
say their men we're not a party to the
trouble. They say assemblies 1074O and
10845 have patrolled that locality since
the strike be and will tonight double
their force. When the new men quit
work in the West Albany yards at 6
o'clock tonight, three of them were an
preached by a committee representing
the strikers who tried to persuade them
to desert the railroad company. The
men refused and some words ensued,
when a number of Pinkerton men who
had been at supper appeared on the
scene. One of them drew his revolver
to intimidate the committee, but he was

MORE COMPLICATION AT BUFFALO.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 16.-The strike
on the New York Central road was fur
Their complicated this morning. At 8
o'clock the switchmen in the Central
yards struck work, and those on the
West Shore system followed suit. There
are upwards of 200 men in the movement
and a freight blockade at East Buffalo is
iminent. The closing of the West
Shore for freight is a most serious aspect
thus far as it completely cripples the
Centrars facilities for forwarding freight.
STRIKERS JUB1LANT.
To say that local Knights of Labor
are jubilant would be to put it mildly.
They are overjoyed at the turn affairs
have taken and seem more confident of
success than ever. They held an import
ant meeting this afternoon for the pur-
pose of discussing the situation. Major
McGowan, of the executive committee
from Albany says: Buffalo is considered
the key to the situation and we will DO
our best to hold it. I made one predic.
ton and that nlaterialized, so I will make
another: Inside of five days you will see
steps taken by the railroad company
looking toward arbitration; mark my
word" Live stock shipments from this
point, despite the assistance given by the
West Shore, Lackawana and Erie are at
least a week behind. There is no know
ing how long it will take to get
caught up. It was learned tonight
that the switchmen on the Central and
West Shore petitioned for Chicago wages
before the strike IN the East. They
asked that an answer to the petition be
returned on or before Monday, August
18th. No concession has been received.
Therefore" says one of the labor agita-
tors now in town, looking on and On
c%ouraging the strike, "the switchmen
were ready to strike next Monday any
way, it this had not been precipitated.
AS it is now, the switchmen declare their
men must be taken back and the wages
OF all raised, too" The police are all
sleeping at the station houses; tonight,
ready for a call to quell disturbance at
any moment. Up to the present hour
everything is quiet. The strikers are
orderly. They are 10Y in secret session
at Stendet's hall, neal the X. of L.. head
quarters. They are being addressed by
labor agitators.
