 ALBANY, Aug. 1.-The most disastrou
 day in the history of the New York Cen
 tral railroad strike closed tonight Eff
 teen Pinkerton men are under the care o
 surgeons and five citizens are so badl,
 wounded that there are fears for their re ' covery. Three Pinkerton men were ar
 rested and one was so severely handled b,
 the mob that the police surgeon had tt
 dress his wounds. The trouble is at tn,
 Van Woert street crossing, few block,
 west of the passenger depot and where tho
 freight trains run on to the bridge. Thi.
 morning early crowds began to get togethe,
 and by noon there was huge crowd.
 Everything was quiet until about 1:3( o'clock, when freight train came dowr from West Albany. On the top of eacl car were two Fullerton men armed with repeating rifles, and as the cars passed they fourished them.
 Suddenly and without provocation one of the men fired and Richard Dwyer, a boy of twelve years, fell, shot in the thigh. A rush was made for the train and so sue, cessful was it that James Hatton, whc fired the shot, was caught. The police charged the mob and rescued the man just as they had him up against tree ready to hang him. He was badly battered up when locked up.
 A few minutes after John Houck, q lum- Der handler, aged twenty-two years, was arrested for stoning train. At o'clock freight train bound west came over the bridge guarded by Pinkerton men. When 1t reache dthe city, several of the Pinker- ton men, without provocation, opened fire. Mrs. Thomas F. Began was shot through the leg and a small boy was shot in the thigh.
 The crowd by this time was wrought up to 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 began to cool down, another freight train came through, and the Pinkerton men again fired into the crowd, boy named Frank Parks, receiving bullet in his arm
 Officer Dunn jumped on the train and tried to find the man, but was unsuccess- full. He was carried back to East Albany on another train, and there was assaulted by the Pinkerton men, although he was in full uniform. All the police of the city are massed at this point, and trouble is ex- pected tonight.
 Robert Pinkerton asked for the release of Thomas Burke, who was arrested under arms, but Chief Willard refused, saying that the men were melting the people to violence MT. Pinkerton said that it was simply a matter of protecting the new brakemen and was necessary.
 Five Pinkerton men, arrested last night, were arraigned this morning and four were admitted to bail for further examination, ex State Senator Russell and Depot Master Foster going on their bonds. One man was released.
 The only freight train moved to-day has been refrigerator and empty cars. The blockade at West Albany is almost as bad as on the first day of the strike. THE SITUATION AT NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Engineer James Pollion, who has been for some time the engineer of the Chicago fast express, was killed at the round house at Mott Haven at p. m. He left the Grand Central depot on a local to go to the round house to take out his train. He jumped off as the local passenger passed the round house and was struck by another train. The body was thrown into the air and fell fifty feet away. It was reported at police head quarters to-day that trouble was expected at the Seventy-second street yard with strikers. Several had tried to induce new men to leave work. Acting Superintendent Byrnes notified the police to be extra vigi- lant tomorrow, when freight trains will start, and prevent any interference with new men.
 There was a collision in the Harlem di- vision of the New York Central railroad near Melrose station on Saturday, although it providentially did little damage, but might have been a serious matter At II o'clock engine SAP, with train of eight freight cars, pulled out of the yard at the station and had just gone through the open switch on the down track when light engine No. 841 came down the track and struck the tender of No. S42, tearing it loose from the train and throwing it on its side. When they saw that a collision was inevitable the engineer and fireman of No. S41 jumped for their lives, and the engine, keeping the track after the collision, went on its wild way to the city with no guiding hand to check it's speed. The flight of the engine was telegraphed to all the sta tions below and the tracks cleared. The runaway kept on it's mad course until it reached the Grand Central depot, where it came in collision with a yard engine, but with little force, it's speed having been | checked for want of steam and no damage was done. The engineer and two firemen of engine No. 842 were thrown out when the collision occurred at Melrose and were badly injured No. 842's tender was wrecked. The division superintendent is investigating the case.
 All the regular trains on the Central ran on schedule time to-day. The incoming trains also came in without any delay. No freight trains were sent out to-day, but the railroad officials say they will be run regu- larly tomorrow.
 A Severe storm.
