MILITIA DREW BLOOD
In Clash With Strikers Innocent
Men are Shot Down at Albany.
STRIKE iS BROUGHT TO AN END
At a Conference of Employers and
Street Car Men the Trouble
Vas Adjusted by Conces
sions on Both Sides.
At i conference in Albany, N. Y.,
Thursday night the strike of the Trac
tion company employees was called
off. All demands of the strikers were
conjeded by the railway company.
Three men fatally wounded, hun
dreds of others with broken heads
aad cut faces, cars running merely as
arsenals with no patrons, the city un
der martial rule, with its citizens in a
frenzy of excitement, and the city au
thorities and leaders of the strikers
trying to get the railway company to
come to an amicable settlement, was
the situation when darkness put an
end to the strife growing out of the
street car strike at Albany, N. Y.,
Thursday night.
Those fatally wounded are: Wil
liam Walsh, a merchant, and Leroy
Smith, a merchant, both shot by na
tional guardsmen, and William Mar
shall, a non-union motorman, skull
fractured.
Others most seriously injured are:
George Booz, citizen, cheek ripped
open by bayonet. William Rooney,
citizen, shot by national guard. Gil
bert Hall, a non-union motorman, shot
by mob.
The bloodshed came after a day of
peace. From early morning the crowds
had melted away before bayonets and
shotguns, cars had been operated un
der heavy guards and there was an
impression that the spirit of turbu
lance was waning. There had been
some minor demonstrations, particu
larly in North Albany, but not a shot
had been fired and as the day passed
along the running of cars attracted
but little attention.
The volley fired on Broadway by a
squad of the Twenty-third infantry
men, in which Leroy Smith and Wil
liam Walsh, well known citizens, fell
mortally wounded, changed all that,
it stirred anew the feeling of hatred
as the exciting tidings swept through
the city, and the guardsmen were bit
terly denounced.
Neither of the men had been guilty of
any offense, but were caught in a
crowd, some member of which had
stoned the guardsmen and by mis
chance were hit. The disturbance
was not a serious one and “murder”
is the title applied by inflamed public
sentiment to the shooting. The guards
men seem but to have followed their
duty as soldiers, for they were under
orders to shoot if assaulted.
It was on the last run of the soldiers
on the cars that the tragedy of the day
occurred.
William Walsh, one of the men
wounded by a bullet from a squad of
the Twenty-third regiment defending
a car, died at 15:15 p. m.
l.eroy Smith, shot in me same me
lee, was slightly improved at mid
night
The shooting of Smith and Walsh
had a very depressing effect upon the
members of the Twenty-third regiment
and during the night when stones
were thrown at the picket men around
Quail street barn they did not fire into
the dark. Two privates were hit and
hurt, but they did not care to take a
chance by firing. It was held by the
officers and men generally that the or
der of fire was entirely justified, but
i-.ere was general regret at the conse
quences of the volley.
GOLD GIVEN AWAY.
Negro Sells Twenty Dollar Pieces for
Fifteen Cents Each.
A negro at Burlington, N. C., plowed
up a pot of gold. There were sixty
three S2O pieces. He sold some for
15 cents each uefore he found out
their value. It is said the money was
owned by a New Berne bank which
burled it in 18G5 at the approach of
the federal troops.

Sour Stomach?
Back up a sewer, and you poison the whole neighborhood. Clog up liver and bowels, and your stomach Is full of undigested food, which
sours and ferments, like garbage In a swill-barrel. That’s the first step to unteld misery—indigestion, foul gases, headache, furred tongue, bad
breath, yellow skin, mental fears, everything that is horrible and nauseating. CASCARETS quietly, positively stop fermentation in the
stomach, make the liver lively, tone up the bowels, set the whole machinery going and keep it in order.
