NEW YORK, Aug. Although lasI
night and early this morning it looked al
tbonUh the strike on the New York Cen
raj was slowly but surely petering out,
nevertheless both parties, as far as words
vent at all events, were as stubborn as
ever. The Buffalo express, or newspaper
train. moved out on time at 5 a. M, and
betore 7 two trains had been sent out
AVER the Harlem division. Soon tho fur
,ber announcement was made that all
trains would be run today. Police ar
raneements remain the same as yester-
day. except that men were told not to
leave their posts for even an instant.
Vice President Webb contradicted the
statement made last night that the fire.
men had struck. He declared that all
Messenger trains were running fully
manned. Everything, he declared, was
in fine shape all along the road, except at
Syracuse, where proper protection was
not accorded, and he had telegraphed
Governor Hill for troops.
The first freight which moved since the
strike left the yards for Albany at 9 a. m.
No opposition was made by the strikers,
as a heavy guard Of police was on hand.
The Sixty-6fth street yard. from which
the first shipment of freight was made. is
the most important in the city. The
freight train passed Spuyten Duyvil at
1870. Everything to that point was all
night,
At 10 o'clock everything was in good
shape at the Grand Central depot. The
police arrangements are the same as yes
tgday. There Is no excitement around
the depot, except hat large numbers are
applying for work at the temporary en-
ployment bureau.
Vice President Webb said regarding
the statement in the morning papers
that the fremen had been called out,
that the order calling them put had been
issued a few days ago but both firemen
and engineers had d~isregarded the order.
Il have every reason to believe Webb
added, that neither the engineers or
6remen will 20 out. The number of
trains to leave the Grand Central depot
today is 100: the customary number
leaving On 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 arrived
at any OF the yards. The West Shore
road is handling the New York Central
incoming freight. Every train which
left the depot this morning was promptly
on time, and schedule time will be OBJ
served all day.
Albany, Aug. ia committee from
from the Knights of Labor waited upon
Deputy Attorney General Whitaker to-
day and inquired as to the right of the
Central road to employ Pinkerton detect
ives to guard its property. Whitaker
told the committee that the company had
apertect right to protect its property and
hire AGENTS for that purpose. A proml-
nent Knight said at noo as the trains
came in from the west, that iremen were
dropping from the service here. He said
that eight so far had dropped off and
motherhood engineers had refused to
work with any but union firemen and
would not 20 on to New York with green
men. Superintendent Blssell was asked
about the matter and emphatically de-
MED the rumor. He said that every train
which came either from the west or south
passed through Albany with the same
crew with which it came in. Not a pas
senger fireman had left the service today.
Officials of the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad the
fact that there is now no interruption to
passenger traffic on the lines of the New
York Central. All through passenger
trains are being run on schedule time.
