FROM VARIOUS POINTS.
Troy, N. Y, August 11.-Absolute quiet
marks the progress of the strike in Troy.
Trains are running in and out of the Union
depot regularly and the places of the forty
switchmen, fagmen and trackmen who left
Saturday night are being filed as rapidly as
possible. Fifty Pinkerton men arrived this morn
ing and are scattered along the tracks. There
is not the slightest necessity for their pres
ence and they are likely to excite trouble
Freight trains are mOtionless in the yards of
the Central Hudson, but the Fitchburg Com

Dor employed by the Central in this city have

BITTER AGAINST THE PrYKERToN MEN.
ALBANY, n. Y, August H.
All o'clock this afternoon Superintendent
Bissell said: The statement that fremen here
or at Schenectady have gone out is untrueE
Not one fireman has left the road and we are
not afraid they will
The strikers have appointed committee
to wait upon the chief of police
and sheriff and ask that the Pinkerton men be
driven out of the city. They claim that the
men have no right under the ordinance to
carry weapons or do police duty. The feeling
of the police is very strong against the
Pinkerton men, and the chief of police, be-
lieving that his force is sufficient to
quell any disturbance, will refuse
to swear them in as specials. A
prominent police official here says that some
of the Pinkerton men are men whose portraits
are in the rogue gallery here. The arrival Of
the freight trains from New York is anxiously
looked for here. The freight bridge is block
AIDED and the draw is open, but it may be the
intention to bring them over the passenger
bridge.
