ffoNhs fuiure.
New YORK, Aug. ll.-All through the
night and early this morning il looked as
though the strike on the New York Cen
trail was slowly petering out Neverthe-
less both parties, as far as words went at
all events, were as stubborn as ever. The
Buffalo express or newspaper train moved
out on time at a. M, and before two
trains had been sent out ,over the Harlem
division. Soon after the announcement
was made that all trains would be run
to-day. The police arrangements remain
the same as yesterday, except the men
were told not 10 leave their posts for even
an instant. Vice President Webb contra
dicted the statement made last night that
the flremen had struck. He declared that
all passenger trains are running fully
manned; everything he declared is i'm
fine shape all along the road except at
Syracuse, where proper protection was
not accorded. He had telegraphed Gov
ernor Hill for troops. He added that ar
rangements were being perfected for
moving freight to-day.
The first freight which moved since the
strike left the yards for Albany at . a. m.
No opposition was made by the strikers
as heavy guard of police was on hand.
Sixty-fifth street yard, from which the
first shipment OF freight was made, is the
NEST important in the city. The freight
train passed Spuyden Duyvel at 1850 and
everything to that point was all right. At
| 10 o'clock everything was IN good shape.
| At the Grand Central depot the police
arrangements are the same as yesterday.
| There is no excitement around the depot
except that large numbers are applying
| for work al the temporary employment
| bureau.
Vice-President Webb said regarding the
statement in the morning papers that the
| firemen had been called out, that the
order calling them ont had been issued n
few days ago. But both firemen and en-
gineers had disregar,led the order. ! have
every reason to believe, Webb added. that
neither the engineers nor iiremen will 20
out. The number of trains to leave the
| Grand Central depot to-day is 10. The
customary number leaving OIL week days
| is 13S.
The trains which have been suspended
are local trains and of little importance.
So far to-day no incoming freight has ar
rived at any of the yards.
The West Shore is handling the New
York Central incoming freight. Every
train which left the depot this morning
was promptly on time, and the schedule
of time will he observed all day.
ALBANY, Aug. 1l.-Adjutant General
Porter has received word that everything
is quiet at Dewitt. Passengers trains are
moving.
BUFFALO, Aug. 1.-THE situation on the
| Central road is unchanged. Strikers are
few in number aud quiet. Trains from
the east are coming in several hours
late.
SCRANTON, Pa. Aug. 1l.-General Mas
| ter Workman Powderly says the New
York Central strike will probably he con-
sidered at meeting of the general execI-
tive board in Detroit next Wednesday.
He believes, if necessary, the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers and ilremen will
join the strike.
During this afternoon and evening the
Grand Central depot was as quiet as
though no strike had occurred. Trains
were continually arriving and leaving
and the entire business of the depot had
resumed It's normal condition. Vice
President Webb said nj . o'clock this
evening-and at midnight the situation is
the same-that the strike so far as the New
York Central is concerned was at all end
The entire passenger and freight service
will he resumed tomorrow, and all trains
will leave on schedule time. All freight
yards will be open for the reception OF
freight.
