Ride of the Non-Union Men.

The ride of the non-union men
through the city was the dramatic
spectacle Of the day. The Third signal
corps. mounted and armed aS cavalry
men. formed Il hollow square around
the nOn-uniOn men. who had just AZ
rived ut the station. Five thousand
men tagged at their heels and jammed
in around them. and thousands more
crowded into the intersecting streets.
Fifty policemen formed in Gordon
about the waiting dragoonS and tried
TO force the crowd back. The street
was cleared. but the walls of humanity
on the sidewalks held firm and could
not be moved. The crowds were
treated with great forbearance, but
forebore nothing themselves. as the
non-union men and their escort We're
treated TO showers of stoned whenever
the stones could be obtained.

Soldiers Were Very Forbearing.

The rays of the setting sun gave
CLINT to busy Sabers. but the long
blades, welded by fOrbearing hands,
seldom descended in serious blows.
Several of the mob were knocked down
by cornered cavalrymen. but the rec
ord does not yet show the score of a
single fatality. In the passage through
the streets few of the non-unionists
escaped the flying bricks and stones
that were hurled at them. but less
than a dozen were badly hurt. The
courage Of nearly IL dozen of the nom
union men failed them in the opening
squirt through the crowds, and they
sprang from the wagons that carried
them to mingle with and be lost in the
crowd

Albany, N Y, May 16.-So serious
Is the situation here over the Traction
company strike that Governor Odell
has postponed \ trip TO the state In
stitutious which he had undertaken,
and returned to the executive mansion.
Two thousand armed soldiers are now
within the city limits. more are COM
ing, and 2 800 are in readiness TO move
10 Troy when Governor Odell so or
ders. The streets were thronged yes
children. and the otherwise quiet day
terminated in bloodshed. \ dramatic
element was added to the days fea-
lures by the sudedm death of Adjutant
General Hoffman. As long as the
Traction company does not attempt to
move cars or bring in non-uniOn men
the crowds on the street remain good
natured. except for taunting the sol
diers and police: but the instant an at
tempt is made To work on the lines or
bring non-uniou men in. the crowd be-
comes frenZied and bloOdShed results.
Some Features OF the Day.
Citizens saber-slaShed, non-union
men with broken limbs and bloody
faces, women and children trampled
under foot, soldiers MANNED with fly
ing missiles and leaders in the crowd
beaten with nusketS We're some of the
results of yesterday. Mob and militia
closed in combat late in the afternoon,
but by the accident of fortune there
We're no serious casualties. 1t was the
introduction of more non-union men to
take the places of striking traction EN-
ployes that produced the violence.
SeVenty-five non-union men reached
the union station shortly before p.
m. and their delivery ut the Quail
street barn, i mile and half away,
was made with 4 dash under cavalry
escort. with mob resistance in almost
every block.
