Echoes Of the Strike on the New York
Central Road.
NEw YoRK. August II.

NEW York. August II.
The strikers have been In secret session at
Ledwith Hall at 45th street and Sd avenue all
morning receiving reports from various pick
cts on duty. One of the officials said to re-
porter: 1--WE are Just as strong as we were on
FRIDAY night The railroad officials have been
giving out false reports to the newspapers in
order to discourage the strikers"
The strikers still maintain that they have an
other card to play, but are reticent as to just
what that card is. 1t is said that the press
committee of the strikers Is preparing report
for publication, which will show the position
of the local assemblies and the connection of
the general board with the strike.
The post Office authorities said today that al
the incoming mails were arriving nearly on
time, the delay being very trifing. All the
out ding mails are dispatched on time.
MOVING THE FREIGHT.
The first train that went out Of the 65th
street ward today left for Troy at $50 am. 1t
cunsisted of ten cars loaded with miscellaneous
freight. principally fruit Conductor Hood
in charge. Inspector Steers and Capts.
Ailaire and Berghold are in the yards with
ono hundred policemen. Here police are
stationed along the road at intervals as far as
10th street. There has been no disturbance
whatever, and the work Of making up other
freight trains, which are to leave later in the
day, is proceeding with the customary quiet
ness. Train Dispatcher Lotus and Yardmaster
Mitchell have now sufficient force OF men
to run out all the cars IN the
yard in short time, but there is not sufficient
accommodation for all the cars yet at their
destinations up the road. A freight train will
start from Albany or New York today and is
expected ut the 35th street yard late this after
noon. Train 6S3 which left here yesterday
morning arrived in Albany on schedule time,
and made eighteen miles hour, which
Is looked upon as good record for n freight
train. The engine which took this train up to
Albany will bring another freight tram. A
large force of men is at work in the 30th street
ward and several trains will be run between
there and the 65th street yard
