The great Albany. X. V.. street rail
way strike, lasting twelve days, requir
ing the presence of a.iMm' national
guards in tin city, costing the lives of
two prominent merchants ami entailing
un expense to the county of Albany of
over 8.10,000, is nmlenblv settled, anil If
the agreements are kept there will W
no trouble for three years at least.
The incidents of' the tirst day of
active operation of all the railway lines
affected by the great strike at Albanv.
X. Y., have Won few because of the
hcrtvy fall of rain. The two men shot
by guardsmen were burled Sunday
but the pouring rain kept away the
thousands of sight seers that otherwise
would have marked the occasion with
their presence. The departure of the
Twenty-third regiment was the second
feature of the day and stirring sermons
in many of the city's pulpits aided in
closing the incident. The funeral of
Leroy Smith was devoid of incident,
except that it was attended by city
olllcluls and directors of the street rail
way company. At the funeral of
William Walsh there whs nearly a riot.
While the services wcte proceeding
in the church the crowd that had Wen
unable to gain admission saw a uni
formed soldier coming down the street.
Instantly the ieoplc were in a state of
ferment. A rush wa8 made for the un
lucky soldier, but a few wise beads
held the maddened crowd baek for
a minute while several others advised
the man to run. Arguing that discre
tion was the Wtter part of valor, he
did mn and trouble was avoided.
The starting out of the first ear of
the intercity line shortly after noon
Sunday was the cause of a demonstra
tion. Pistols were fired, Hags waved,
torpedoes were placed on the track and
exploded, the motormuii and conduc
tors wore flags on their coats and fully
"(H) men and women fought for the
privilege of the first ride.
When the conductor got the car
started and rang up the fares he found
that he had seventy-three passengers
where usually fifty is a crowd. Within
an hour so many cars were running
that the monotony deterred people
from riding for novelty's sake.
JUDGE GORDON RESUMES.

.Judge Cordon has been pernltted to
take his seat on the police court bench
at Omaha without encountering a
policeman in his path. Judge Craw
ford was on hand to turn hlsotllce over
to his successor and gracefully retired.
The tlrst offender before Judge Cor
don was tendered a twenty-day sen
tence. 'The council having heard the
arguments in tlie case as to the juris
diction of the council to entertain the
charges pending and preferred against
Samuel 1, Cordon, police judge, for
misconduct in office, have decided to
dismiss- the matter for want of juris
diction." The above unsigned verdict was
returned by the city council after an
hour's deliberation on the arguments
of the attorneys on the question of
jurisdiction in the Cordon lnicnch
ment case.
It removes the last barrier which the
law has attempted to interpose between
t lie person of Samuel I. Cordon, xilicc
judge, nnd his long coveted and equal
ly long-denied wool sack.
The conclusion was reached in exec
utive session. How the vote stood is
not known, as each councilman pledged
himself not to reveal the ballots.

In Soini' 'mr Mini) Olijiit.
A Washington dispatch says: p
proximately .lo.tMM machinists through
out the country struck Monday for a
nine hour day. a scale of wages equal
to the present ten hour day and othei
demands. This Is the rough estimate
of President O'Connell of the national
association of machinists, based on the
telegraphic ad lees that have reached
him from the machinists' headquarters
in the various cities.
The strike thus far has not extended
to the allied trades, save in one or two
instances, as at Scrautou, Pa., where
men in a part of the allied trades, are
out. Xo machinists engaged in govern
ment work are affected. This Is due
to the fact that on such work an eight
hour day scale already prevails, Rail
road machinists, as a rule, are not in
volved in the strike, though the men
on several roads are out. The Central
Vermont shop machinists at St. Albans,
numbering probably '.'Oil, have struck.
The I.chlgh Valleyinachlnlstsiit lluffn
lo, Sayre. Wllkesbarre and Klmlrn are
out, aggregating about .Mm. all told.
The Delaware, Lackawanna Western
men at IlutTalo. Scrautou, Wllkesbarre
and intermediate points are out. The
Culf, Colorado and Santa Ke men are
also out. The strike order, however,
does not apply to the railroads gener
ally. It Is expected at headquarters
that there is no competition between
tlie railroads and private -works and
work among the private establishments
Ik to be. adjusted tl'st.
