ALBANY STRIKE is ENDED.
Militia Is Observation-Disclosures of the
Riot Buried.

Albany, May 20.-The incidents of
the first day Of active operations of
all railways affected by the great strike
were few because of the heavy fall of
rain. The two men shot by national

erty We're buried yesterday. The de-
parture of the Twenty-third regiment
was the second feature of the day and
stirring sermons in many city pulpits
aided in closing the incident.
The funeral of Leroy Smith was de-
void of incident, except that it was at
tended by city officials and directors of
the street railway people. At the fu-
neral of William Walsh there was near.
ly a riot. While the services were
pending in the church the crowd that
had been unable to gain admission saw
uniformed soldier coming down the
street. Instantly the people were in
state Of ferment. A rush was made
for the unlucky soldier, but a few wise
heads held the crowd back for min
ute while several others advised the
man to run. Arguing that discretion
was the better part of valor, he did
run and trouble was averted.
The starting out of the first car OF
the Inter-City line shortly after noon
was the cause of demonstration. Pts
tolls were fired, flags waved, torpedoes
were placed on the track and exploded
the motormen and conductors wore
flags on their coats and fully 200 men
and women fought for the privilege OF
| the first ride.
