Tho Great Strike on the Now York Con.
tral Virtually mt an End-New Men Se-
cured and Trains Moving ms Usual.
New York, Aug. 13.--Although the
strike on the New York Central has not
been declared off by the Knights of
Labor, it is virtually at an end. The
decision of the Brotherh ood of Locomo-
tive Engineers in refusing to come out
was its death knell. About the Grand
Central depot yesterday every thing
was quiet and trains were dispatched
with perfect regularity. The police
were about as strong as ever, but there
was apparently no necessity for them to
be there.
Affairs at st. Johns Park are resum.
ing their normal condition. Freight
trains with empty cars left yesterday
for the West Thirty-third street yards
to relieve the pressure of freight at that
point. The signs mo freight received
until further notice" are still displayed,
but the officials say that all fir eight will
be received this morning. The police
are still on guard within the depot.
SYRACUSE, N Y, Aug. 13.-The Pink
erton detectives are in full control of
the freight yard at Dewitt and the
freight cars are being rapidly formed
into trains. The first freight train to
leave East Syracuse yesterday was
about one D. m. 1t came into this city.
Much trouble has been experienced in
loading livestock. The militia are here
at the armory, though they are no lon
ger needed. Adjutant General Porter
has ordered them to remain until a
nj or1a Of 1icpoiaSa1
the sheriff's Office.
Troy, n. Y, Aug. 13.-Interest in the
Central strike has practically ceased in
this city. The Union Railroad Company,
embracing all the lines entering Troy,
has filed all the places of the strikers
excepting three. Trains are moving
with regularity; the only trouble aris-
ing being the refusal of the switchmen
to throw the switches in the Adams
street yard for combination Fitchburg
and Central perishable freight trains.
Pinkerton's men have disappeared and
half dozen policemen only are on guard
around the depot.
BUFFALO, n. V, Aug. $50 far as
this end of the Central railroad system
is concerned, the strike is practically
over. Trains are moving with greater
regularity, and the mails are but little
delayed. Railroad Mail superintendent
Farnsworth said yesterday that every
thing was moving as usual and that
there is little delay. Superintendent
Burrows, of the Central road, looked
pleased at the condition of affairs. He
said the strike was over. The strikers
were paid off and the company will not
take any of them back.
ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 13-Despite the
assertion of the Central railroad that
they would move freight and have
twenty engines at work here raising the
blockade, not an ounce of blockaded
freight was moved yesterday and no at
tempt was made to move any. Two
trains which came up from New York
Monday are both stalled on the other
side of the river and not a freight en-
gine has yet fred up. The draw of the
freight bridge is yet open and 1000 cars
are still at West Albany,
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Aug. 13.- The
strike in this city is virtually over All
local passenger trains are running near
" on time and there is no lack of men
to do all the work. Shippers have suf-
fered no inconvenience in dispatching
or receiving freight
