The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-08-12

o'clock this morning was the first tram TO
get TO Buffalo over the New ork Centraiis
track. This train reached Dewitt, where
the trouble occurred yesterday, at 5 o'clock
this afternoon and found the yards, where
it was impossible to get the train through
yesterday, entirely in the hands of the rail-
road company. The switches were all
manned, and everything was in thorough
running order. This was the first train to
raise the blockade.
On to-day's schedule at the Grand Central
depot there were 138 Central railroad
trains. OF these 120 left the depot almost on
time.
THE SITUATION AT EAST SYRACUSE.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 11.-All is quiet
in Syracuse, the railroad trouble being con-
fined to the yards at East Syracuse, which
seems to be the key to the situation. The
Central authorities began running all the
passenger trains over the West Shore road
to-day, switching at Kirkville on the east
and Oswego Junction on the west, bringing
trains back onto the Central line here. The
Central tracks through Syracuse are practi-
cally abandoned.
Pinkerton men are acting as deputy sher-
ifs. and the Twenty-sixth separate COM
pany of Elmira and Twenty-ninth and
Thirtieth separate companies of Oswego are
encamped in this city waiting orders. The
Fifth battery moved out this morning, but
was ordered back. At East Syracuse after
breakfast the strikers, 500 in number, re-
paired to the yards. Detectives had been on
watch all night, but had nothing to do
Leader James Bourke was on hand and
counseued his followers to avoid violence.
He said they were going to win, and were
more confident than ever. All the forenoon
the main tracks of the Central were clear.
The strikers said they would let the mails go
through, providing there were no passenger
coaches attached. The news that there were
Pinkerton men and detectives at Syracuse
seemed to disconcert the strikers.
The report of strikes on the West Shore
and Delaware and Lackawanna roads are
untrue. These roads are running as usual.
PINKERToN MEN IN POSSESSION.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. II, 1850 p. M
The yard is cleared OF strikers, and the
Pinkerton men have possession at East
Syracuse. The Pinkerton detective force,
reinforced by others from the west, went to
Syracuse at o'clock this afternoon with
Under Sheriff Austin and several deputy
sheriffs and an outside force of railroad
employees. At the yard they formed in line
aud advanced through the front yard, all
the strikers retiring before them without
resistance. The Pinkerton and railway
men then began the work of making up
and forwarding freight cars containing
perishable property, which were tied up
there.
A BATCH OF MAIL RECEIVED.
At 4:05 o'clock train bringing the mail
from the east, which should have reached
here at l0:30 o'clock, arrived In this city
and was the first passenger train to 60
through East Syracuse. At 4:30
o'clock the train that should have
out of the Central station, closely
followed by a special train of four cars
filed with Pinkerton forces and railroad
men. At $3.50 o'clock the first freight train
from East Syracuse pulled into the city.
1t was a very long line of cars. A reporter
was informed that the secret of the whole
matter was that Gov. Hill felt compelled 70
take action in reference to the strike. The
strikers will not make any demonstrations.
THE DAY QUIET.
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. II, 80 P. NJ
Everything has been quiet here to-day.
The passenger service is somewhat better
than yesterday, but everything is still in a
state OF chaos around the Central station as
compared with the usual order of things.
Trains running between Albany and New
York were some of them an hour late,
while those from the west were from two to
ten hours late. No attempt will be made
to move freight from the West Albany
yard until the Pinkerton forces are in
creased so as to picket the yards. A train
which blocks the upper railroad bridge is
still lying there, and the stencil which arises
from the decaylng beef in the cars is sick
ening. A committee from the Knights of
Labor waited upon the Delaware and Hud-
son roads officials to-day and were told
that the road would in no manner assist the
Central. A like communication was re-
ceived from the officers of the Boston and
Albany and Pittsburg road. The local
assemblies have an overfiowing treasury,
they say, and the men need not want for
anything for three months to come, if it is
necessary to remain out.
TRAINS BELATED AT BUFFALO.
BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. 1.-THE situation
on the Central road here was unchanged
this morning, as the strikers were few in
number and keeping very quiet. Trains
from the east were coming in several hours
late. The Chicago limited, scheduled
to reach the Exchange street de-
pot at S:35 o'clock last night,
got here about o'clock this morning,
and at 80 o'clock was still standing in the
depot. About the Central depot there was
nothing unusual except the difficulty found
in handling the new men so that trains
could bs sent out promptly. This. of
course, is almost an impossibility, and the
result is considerable confusion.
