Albany, N. Y, May II. The great
street railroad strike, lasting twelve
days, requiring the presence of 5000
members of the national guard in the
city, costing the lives of two promi-
nent merchants and entailing an ex-
pense to the county of Albany of over
$39, 900, is settled, and if the agreements
are kept there will be no trouble for
three years at least. The whole city of
Albany united in celebrating the event.
AS usual, both sides TO the controversy
claim the credit. The withdrawal of
the guards was as expeditions as was
their bringing here.
The incidents of Sunday, the first day
of active operation of all the allied
lines since the strike. were very quiet.
There were two features. The first was
the two men shot by national guards
men were buried in the afternoon, but
the pouring rain kept away the thou
sands of sightseers hat otherwise
would have marked the occasion with
their presence. The departure of the
Twenty-third regiment early in the
morning vas the second feature Of the
day, and from many city pull
pits aided in closing the incident. The
funeral of Leroy Smith was devoid of
incident except that 1t was attended by
city officials and directors of the street
railway company. At the funeral Of
William Walsh there was nearly a riot.
while the services were proceeding in
the church the crowd that had been
unable TO gain admission saw a uni
formed soldier coming down the street.
ferment. A rush was made for the
uhlucky soldier, but a few wise heads
held the crowd back for a minute,
while several others advised the mai to
run. Arguing that discretion was the
better part of valor, he did run and
avaided trouble. The starting out of
the first car of the Intercity line short
ly after noon was the cause Of a
demonstration. Pistols were fired, flags
waved, torpedoes placed on h track
and exploded, the motormen n con-
ductors wore flags on their coats, and
fully 200 men and women fought for
the privilege of the first ride. When the
conductor got the car started n rang
up the fares he found he had 70 passen-
gers. where usually so is a crowd.
Within an hour so many cars were
running that h monotony kept peo-
pie from riding for novelty sake.
