CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-That the New York
Central management is rot yet out of the
woods in regard to the Strike of it's en-
ployes seems without question, notwith-
standing the hopeful-indeed confident
tone of the reports from railway head
quarters. The men seem to have adopted
a sort Of guerrilla warfare. AS soon as
the management sees light on one section
of the road, a diversion is made on In
other or on connecting lines. This was
the case Saturday at Buffalo. The switch
men in the Central yards there struck. A
crew of West Shore men was ordered to
take their places, and refused. Superin-
tendent Burrows insisted, and the men
quit. The men on ines outside the Cen
trail system are just enough in sympathy
with the strikers to impress their employ
ers with the idea that If the latter handle
Central freight" they will strike; SO the
Central is practically boycotted. There
was al awful tangle in the freight yards
at Buffalo Saturday and yesterday, and
no apparent prospect of getting it un-
tangled.

Protection for Labor Only.

In the house of representatives, May

"Mr. Chairman, as we are about to

league from Missouri [Mr. Bland] on
Saturday last wherein he proposes that

BLOODSHED AT ALBANY.

Pinkertons Char ged with Shooting at In
offensive Citizens.
While the above state of affairs existed
at Buffalo a more serious condition is re-
ported Mt Albany. The strikers have been
on guard there to prevent trains from
running, and although they are kept out
of the yards by Pinkerton they collect at
crossings and on bridges, and threats
have been made that any persons moving
trains would be stoned. According to the
Albany report a train was passing the
Van Woert street crossing Saturday, when
a small boy threw a stone, striking one of
the guards, who thereupon fired at the
boy, missing him, and hit John McCarty
who was in his WI yard at the time
in the leg. The place swarmed with strik-
ers in an instant, and the police had diff

The Railway Managers Complain.
The railway officials declare that the
police are in sympathy with the strikers,
and are doing all they can to embarrass
the road. and arresting Pinkerton men on
every conceivable pretext. Henry Doug
lass, another Pinkerton, was arrested for
fourishing n revolver, and although he
said he drew it to force his way to the
yards through a crowd of angry strikers,
he was locked up, as were two Pinkertons
who got a short distance off the company's
property. That the strikers take every
opportunity to worry the Pinkertons is
without doubt. An ALBANY telegram
says: I'm this city and at West Albany

ton guards assaulted. Bricks and stones
were thrown from the windows of houses
which line the track in places. There are

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 1S.-This city was
the scene of several disgraceful ARRAYS
yesterday, in each of which, according to
the reports, the Pinkertons were agrees
sors. Fifteen Pinkerton men are under
the care of surgeons, aud five citizens are
so badly wounded that there are fears for
their recovery. Three Pinkerton men
were arrested, and one was so severely
handled by the mob that the police sur
trouble was at the Van Woert street cross
Ing again, a few blocks west of the passen-
ger station, and where the freight trains
run on to the bridge. Yesterday morning
early crowds began to gather, and by moor
there was q huge crowd. Everything was
quiet until at 1:l0 o'clock a freight tan
came down from West Albany. On. the
top of each car were two Pinkerton men
armed with repeating rifles, aud as the
cars passed by they flourished them.
A Boy and Woman Wounded.
Suddenly, and without provocation, one
of the men fired and Richard Dwyer. a
boy of IL years fell, shot in the thigh. The
excitement was intense and a rush was
made for the train, and SO successful was
1t that James Hatton, who fired the shot.
was caught. The police charged the mob
and rescued the man just as they had him
up against a tree ready to hang him. He
wa badly battered when locked up. A few
minutes after John Houck, a lumber
handler, aged % years. was arrested for
stoning a train. Att o'clock a freight
train bound west came over the bridge
guarded by Pinkerton men. When it
reached the city several of the Pinkerton
men, without p~rovocation, opened fire.
Mrs. Thomas +. Hogan was shot through
the leg.
Another Boy Shot.
The crowd by this time was wrought up
to a fearful pitch of excitement, and only
by the efficiency of the local police, aided
by committees from the strikers, were they
kept back. At 4 o'clock when the excite
ment had begun to cool down another
freight train came through and the Pink
erton men again fired into the crowd, a
boy named Frank Parks receiving.the bull

the train and tried to find the man, but

Robert Pinkerton asked for the release
of Thomas Burke, who was arrested un-
der arms. but Chief Willard refused, say
ing that the men were melting the people
to violence. Mr.. Pinkerton said that it
was simply a matter of protecting the
new brakemen, and was necessary. Five
