BULLETS WHIZZED
IN ALBANY STREETS
Two Innocent Hen Shot In
Crowd of Strikers.
id CHARACTERIZED “MURDER”
street Car Company and Em
ployes Reach Agreement to
End Strike.
At a conference in Albany, N. Y.,
Thursday ***. strike o, the Tr.e
tion company employees was called
0 £f; All demands of the strikeirs were
conceded toy the railway company.
Three men fatally wounded, hun
dreds of others with broken heads
and cut faces, cars running merely as
arsenals with 'no patrons, tee city un
der martial rule, with its citizens in a
frenzy of excitement, and the mlty au
thorities and leaders of the 'strikers
trying to get ithe railway company to
come to an amicable settlement, was
the situation when darkness ;put an
e nd to the strife ..growing out of the
street car strike -at Albany, N. Y.,
Thursday night.
Those fatally wounded are: • Wil
Ham Walsh, a merchant, and Leroy
Smith, a merchant, both shot by na
tional guardsmen, and William Mar
shall, a nonunion 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 tuTbu
lance was waning. There had been
some minor demonstrations, particu
larly in North AIba*y, .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 assaultedL
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 cur, died at 15::15 p. m.
Leroy 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-thiru 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
‘‘•ere was general regret at the conse
quences of the volley.

KINLEY BETTER
She 'itj: ,:'^r t “
B.i Passed.
A San Francisco dispatch Bnys:
At 8 o’clock Saturday night Mrs. Me
Kinley ’ s phjrwicians held a consultation.
after which iflhe following bulletin ’vvas
given out:
’Mrs. McKinley s physicians re port
that she has had a comfortable day.
But there is a slight rise in tempera
ture tonigTst:’’
Secretary Cortelyou said no further
bulletins would be given out unless
unfavorable (symptoms should develop.
In the event that Mrs. McKinley con
STrU™ Tr^nTto
Washington.
Sunday morning Mrs. McKinley’s
condition-was so far improved that she
was able to sit up a short time. Gen
eral Shatter had called on President
McKinley, and while they were talk
ing, word came down stairs that Mrs.
McKinley was sitting up. The presi
dent at once asked to be excused, and
hurried sto the sickroom.
There were many callers ;at the
Scott residence during the day Sun
day. There was a general feeling that
the crisis had been passed, and that
Mrs. McKinley would continue to gain
strength. No definite date has yet
been decided upon when the president
will start for the national capital, but
it is hoped that Mrs. McKinley will be
able to travel within a few days.
Secretary Long left Sunday morning
(for Colorado Springs to visit his
daughter, who is ill.
Sympathy of Royalty.
President McKinley is in receipt of
a cablegram from the king and queen
of England, President Loubet, of
France, and many other potentates in
quiring as to Mrs. McKinley’s condi
tion.
Among the callers on President Mc
Kinley was Calvin S. Titus, the first
American soldier to mount the walls
of Pekin, who returned Friday «n .the
transport Sheridan.
BOTH SI DES CLAIM VICTORY.
Agreement to Call Off’ Dig Strike Sat
isfactory to All Parties.
As is usual, ‘both sides to the 'Con
troversy claim the .credit in the settle
ment of the big (Street railroad fight
in Albany, N. Y. From the face of the
agreement it is evident that the strik
ing men won these .concessions:
increasing night men and extra
men’s wages to 20 (cents per hour.
Granting men the right of appeal
from a decision of am inspector or the
superintendent to the Traction com
pany’s executive board.
The road to pay any employee for
lost time when suspended and found
not guilty.
Employees permitted (to ride on
their own divisions free ky showing
their badges.
No discrimination against strikers
who have not committed Violence.
The Traction people obtained these
concessions:
That m©a who were on strike and
committed violence shall not fee rein
stated unless proven guiltless.
That the road may hire or discharge
any man without reference to Ms af
filiation or otherwise with the nnion.
That no proposition to strike shall
be acted upon until forty-eight hours
has elapsed from the time of notifica
tion and that if a strike is ordered it
shall not take effect until six days.
General Oliver waited for some time
to have Sheriff McCreery notify him
that the strike was ended, but finally
ordered the return of the troops to
their home.
The strike lasted twelve days, and
required the presence of three thou
sand members of the national guard
in the city, costing and entailing an
expense to the county of Albany of
over $39,000.
REPORTS ARE UNFOUNDED.
Servian Queen Not to Be Banished
and King Not 1o Abdicate.
A cable dispatch from Belgrade, Ser
via, states that all rumors regarding
the abdication of King Alexander, the
resignation of the cabinet and the ban
ishment of Queen Draga, growing out
of the recent sensational experiences
of the Servian royal family, are de
clared to be without foundation.
HALF THE TOWN BURNED.
Fire Causes Heavy Loss In Little Til
lage of Milner, Ga.
Almost the entire business portion
t ] le prosperous little town of Milner,
Ga., was destroyed by the fire Wednes
da y. n jght. Out of ten stores in the
community five were totally destroyed
and the others damaged to more or
less extent.
The total loss will approximate be
tween $i 2 ,000 and $15,000. The insur
ance amounts to less than one-third
of the loss.
rpjj e or j g i n 0 f the fire is unknown,

suspicion of incendiarism.
DISASTROUS HAIL STORM.
Great, Damage Done In North Carolina
By Icy Pellets.
A Ralei S h special says: The worst
of the unusually numerous hail storms
of this month occurred Thursday after
noon in the New Berne section. Its
path was two miles wide and eight
miles long, and it is declared it did
$100,000 damage. Hail was two inches

Illness of i*lrs. McKinley
Brings End to Trip.
PARTY WILL RETURN AT ONCE
Condition of First Lady of the
Land Is Serious and Grave
Apprehension is Felt.
A San Francisco special says: Ow
ing to the very serious character of
Mrs. McKinley’s illness, the president
Wednesday definitely decided to aban
don his contemplated northwestern
tour and to return to Washington dl
rect, as soon as Mrs. McKinley is able
to stand the journey.
The gravity of Mrs. McKinley’s con
dition has been known to the members
of the president’s immediate party for
several days, but had been concealed
in the' belief that she would rally, as
she has done so frequently in the past,
and’that with a few days of quiet and
rest she would be restored to her nor
m al condition. But her present illness
has been attended with entirely new
complications, which have not yielded
to treatment, and the president finally
concluded that it was time the public
should be apprised'of the true situa
tion. He is also anxious that the oiti
zens of the cities and towns along the
planned route of his return trip, who
have made such extensive prepara
tions for his visit, should receive
prompt notification of the circum
stances which liis decision.
A bulletin which Secretary Cortel
you gave out Wednesday, announcing
the abandonment of the trip, coupled
with another announcement that Mrs.
McKinley’s condition 'Tuesday night
was better in some respects, but worse
in others, prepared the way for a bul
letin issued two hours later, that Dr.
Henry Gibbons, of San Francisco, had
been called in consultation with Dr.
Hirschfelder and Dr. Rixey. Ever
since Mrs. McKinley’s arrived at the
Scott residence she has been desper
ately ill. Her extreme weakness has
been the most alarming feature of her
condition. Her vitality has been at
low ebb, and she has seldom spoken
to those about her.
The strain which the president him
self has undergone during the past few
days has been very great. It lias been
a personal sacrifice for mm to carry’
.out his engagements in San Francisco
am order not to disappoint the people,
Ihut he has made it unselfishly.
Mrs. McKinley has taken nothing
ibnt liquid nourishment for several
days, and her extreme weakness ex
cifes much apprehension.
The members of the cabinet called
at tee Scott residence Wednesday
night. They reported Mrs. McKinley’s J j
condition as unchanged.
When she is conscious she recog
nizes the president and asks for him.
She is not regarded as in immediate
danger of dissolution. of There is no J j
abandonment hope that she will
rally, but in her weakened condition
there could not fail to be approhen
sion lest the spark of life might go out.
A MINE CATASTROPHE.
Explosion Ocenrs and Six Men are
Hurled Into Eternity.
Six miners lost heir lives, five were
fatally injured and three seriously
burned in an explosion at the shaft of
the George Creek Coal and Iron Com
pany, at Farmington, seven miles west
of Fairmount, W. Va, on the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio Wednesday
morning.
The mine was only recently put into
operation, and about 125 men were em
ployed, only forty of this number un
der ground.
One of the men in lhe rooms, it is
alleged, smuggled a torch into the
mines as it gives so much better light
than the safety lamps prescribed by
the company, and to this fact the acci
dent was due.

At the final meeting of the tubercu

BUND TIGERS GALORE.
Charlestonians are Having a Her
ry lime Over That Dispensary
Huddle In Their Hidst.
The orders from the state board of
dispensary control to close all beer
nnd liquor dispensaries in Charleston.
S. 0., has not so l'ar interfered with
the traffic of the tigers. When the
j o.nict tip was passed down the liquor
| line Friday morning that places would
have to close, the 500 blind tigers
made a merry rush to buy, and while
they did not force the price up by the
movement, they got enough liquor to
pull through a period. According to
careful estimates there are 500 tigers
in Charleston.
Temperance and prohibition people
ore glorifying over the conditions ex
isting in the city now. They believe
that tiie dispensaries will be kept
closed untit the legislature next year
can amend the law as to the organiza
tion of the board of county commis
sioners, and should this prove the
case the temperance and prohibition
element will make capital by using all
efforts to have the law strictly en
forced. There is so much money in
volved, however, that the state can
hardly afford to lose the revenues
from Charleston, and already efforts
are making toward a satisfactory ad
justment of the troubles. The tangle
is so deep that the supreme court will
have to pass final judgment, but all
difficulty would have been avoided had
not the Charleston county delegation
been negligent of its duty. This dele
gation failed to note the passage of
the new county commisioners’ act,
and while the purpose was to except
Charleston from its operations this
delegation did not see the mess until
it came out in the newspapers a week
or two ago.
When the state constables are sent
to Charleston to "help enforce the law,
as is confidently expected, outsiders
lock for a hot fight between these offi
cers and the hundreds of blind tigers.
WANT WO TAN UNSTATED.
» r ‘seiiee of Female Delegate Causes
Discussion In Presbyterian Meeting.
Saturday morning’s session of the
Cumberland Presbyterian general as
sembly at West Point, Miss., was whol
ly devoted to a discussion of a motion
made by Dr. I. D. Steele, of Birming
ham, Ala., proposing that the young
woman who was enrolled as a ruling
elder commissioner from Litchfield,
Ky, Presbytery be unseated on the
ground that both the constitution and
the action of previous assemblies for
bade a woman to serve as a ruling
elder.
The presbytery from which Miss
Woosley hails several years ago or
dained as a preacher this same young
woman. This was declared unconsti
tutional and her name erased from
the roll. Members kept up the agita
tion ever since and the presence of
Miss Woosley is plainly aimed by the
Presbytery to test another phase of
the question. The debate Saturday
was an able one without bitterness,
and the vote does not settle the ques
tion.
A constitutional amendment cover
ing the case will be sent down to the
Presbyteries and the knowing ones
believe that in the end the church will
declare against the ordination of wo
men to both the ministry and elder
ship.
