Battalion of Albany Soldiers Hurried to the Scene. By Wire to The Telegram. Albany, N. Y., May 15. A special ttain of thirteen cars bearing tht Twenty-Third regiment came to a .sudden halt at the railroad bridge near the Albany depot this morning. The engine had jumped the track. Colo nel Barnes of Fort Smith ordered four hundred soldiers to leave the train and form on the bridge, march into the city. The order to mobilize reached Brooklyn at one o'clock last night and by four this morning the entire regi ment was aboard the train for Albany. It is believed that their presence will have a salutary effect on the strik Ibdftlleymen. Women taunt the sol- ,die'r&5with;,ing assassins .-. an c: dating thein to sKobt. Albany, N. Y., May 14. When dark ness fell this evening several thousand weary street car strikers and sympa thizers went to their houses, but they were replaced by as many more who took up the vigil to prevent the United Traction men from running their elec tric cars with non-union men. The darkness brought some c onfidence that there would be no attempt before morning to move care for two atempts made in broad day light and brought bloodshed and riot on such a scale that the local police assisted by a score of deputies and Pinkerton men, had been unable to quell the disturb ance. One man lies in a hospital seri ously wounded, one of the two cars the compan yattemtped to run is in the gittes of a street near the. car house, and the trolley wires are cut in several places, practically crippling the road: Near the car House are men, womea; end rnildren wrovght up to a pitMi of frenzy that bodes ill it the doc s ot the car house open to let out an other car. Early this morning there were about 150 of the new men, but by nightfall 65 had deserted and join ed the ranks of the strikers. The men claim that they were brought here under, a misapprehnesion and that they supposed they were going to Phil adelphia, This afternoon the police practically admitted that they were powerless to take care of the large crowds on the street if cars were. run, and General manager McNamara called upon Gen. Oliver, in command of the third brig ade for protection. He said: "We in tend to run out cars if it takes the en tire National Guard of New York State to protect us." General Oliver Issued an order as sembling at their armory tonight the Tenth Batallion of Albany, comprising four companies of the National Guard of infantry and the Third Signal Corps, mounted. General Oliver said that he would warn the remainder of i,e Third Brigade to be i readiners for u call. The riot today was full of exciting features. At 10 o'clock two of the big car doors swiiLg oven and out came a car with all wir.dowb opened. Immediately there was a roar of hisses and shouts. Several men made an effort to board the car. rut they were kept from d'ng so by i J icemen, one of whom was stnti ned on each car step. Thj car made : m id headway and almost be fore the expectant crowd realized wiat Iia ! raipcrtd it was well on Its w.iy over Quail street It contiued to the uni. n Mied and returned, foi" .-d most of the way by bicyclists and pop ple In vehicle?. The second car dM not escape. When the doors were op ened the mob surged towards it despite the efforts of the police. The crew consisted of four men, dressed in plan clothes. As the car swung around the curve there was a pish for it, but thi crowd was driven back. The commit tee from the strikers was allowed to approach the menf; "D6 you wanr io come with us boya?

Wright, aged thirty years, a lineman, had a terrible experience yesterday afternoon about four o'clock while working on the roof of Haines' department store, Eighth and D streets southeast. He suffered severely and lost three fingers in a most extraor dinary accident, one not likely to oc cur again in 100 years. Wright went to the roof of the four story building to repair some telephone wires and to put in one new connect ion. He had on his spurs and gloves and was fully equipped for any emer gency that an electrical worker might have to encounter. He went at his work in good humor, and to facilitate the job in hand seated himself on tie roof edge, his legs Wangling dowrnover Space. '. -V ; . - - Under his arm was a coil of wire, and he loosened it out to connect it up. One end he held in his right hand, in readiness to cut it off at the right length, while the other dropped down upon the street From his position he could not judge distance very well, and paying out tovinuch wire, the bight fell fell across thestreet car tracks. An eastbound street car came along, and the wheels caught the wire. Wright felt it tightening on his hand and rea lized istantly what had happened, lie attempted to release his hold on the wire and at tfce same time reache 1 back with his free hand and seized the cornice. This saved hiin fiom being drawn from the roof to Instant death on the ravmrnt be'ow. but the next instant he found that a turn of the wire was abont his wrist $t slipped down fat enough to spare his,han, but tighten ed about and cut hrosbgn:; his index finger at the middle joint and mutilat ed the second and third fingers so bad ly that he will lose them. His life was spared at the cost of a mutilated hand. - Weak from the loss of blood, the linesman was taken from tLe roof by Officer Edwards, of the Fifth precinct and hurried to Providence Hospital, Where it was said the two injured fin gers wiU. prpbaMy have to be ampu tated. A number of pedestrians witnessed the entangling o the wire in the car wheels, and followed the slender me tallic wire up with their eyes, saw the lineman's plight and his struggle, as the wire tightened, to avoid being drawn over the edge of the roof. Ma ny expected to see him fall, and a gen eral sigh of relief followed the relaxa tion of the wire as the car passed and Wright maintained his position. It was seen that he was hurt, however, and several people in the crowd hurried to Policeman Edwards with word of the singular accident To Marry To-night. Mr. Wv5 .Lindsay, of Chapel Hill, passed - through the city today going to Mfct VeriiQir Springs, where tonight at eight o'clock he will wed Miss Blanche Gilbert, of that place.

In the first struggle - for American independence . the beopl&of South Carolina andehn! sylsania$and of Philadelphia anffXJharit leston worked together, marched to gether and fought together and in this present day there should exist between them the closest possible alliance in indusrtial and commercial enterprise.

We shall be pleased to provide air pos sible protection for the Liberty Bell, and trust you may find it consistent with your sense of public duty and re sponsibility to make- this contribution to the success of t he undertaking which means so much for us and all the people of the South." .
