The New Jersey Central Strike.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-Thousands of people
who went to Jersey City last night and this
morning to take the trains for the Centen NAL,
were turned back on account of trains not de-
parting by reason of strike of the engineers.
One train with several hundred women and
children was left on the road near Bayonne, land
several others are reported as in a similar con-
dition at different points between here and
Philadelphia The people who were unable to
get on the cars at jersey City and in this city,
were unable to obtain hotel accommodations
and stopped in the depots and ferry.houses.
The discomfort was very great as the rain storm
was raging all night. The strike is said to be
in consequence of an attempt of the railway
companies to make engineers work a longer
time for less than they have been receiving.
Only three trains left today by the Jersey
Central railroad from New York for Philadel-
phia. All local travel was suspended. To-
night the officers of the road report that the
difficulty with the engineers and fremen has
been amicably adjusted and trains will be run
