COLUMBUS, July 19.-The strike on the
B. & o. r. r. has extended to the Cen.
trail Ohio Division, and all freight trains
are detained at Newark to-day. It is
stated that the strikers have threatened
to use firearms in case Of the removal Of

red, but is expected in case the trains are
taken out. The men gathered about the
depot in large numbers, bat good humor
prevailed. The engineers have not yet
openly joined the tiremen in the strike.
NJ. L. Doherty, Master Of Traffic on the
Baltimore & Ohio road, called at the
Governors Office to-day, to consult in
reference to military assistance to
the authorities at Newark. Gov. Young
was absent in Cincinnati, but Ia expected
to return at midnight. There is no mil.
itary company in Licking county, and
they will call on the Governor fer aid on
the supposition that the authorities at
Newark are inadequate to control the
strikers. The opinion prevails that the
Governor can't furnish the military aid
legally until the local authorities declare
their inability to control the strikers and
protect property and call Tor military aid.
