NEW YORK. Aug 11.-Vice-President
Webb of the New York Central says he is
confident the backbone OF the strike is
broken. He is positive the Central must
win, and is absolutely opposed to any COM
promise. He is backed by all his corpora
TONS Directors. At this end of the line
everything seems to be working the COM
pany's way.
The danger of serious trouble, however, is
at Albany and Syracuse and points beyond.
Reports say the strikers at those places are
in an ugly mood. At Syracuse several
companies OF militia are under arms ready
to move to any threatened point, while at
Albany there is large force of PinkertOn
men, whose presence is likely to lead the
strikers to acts Of violence.
The strikers claim that they will be helped
by the engineers, fremen and conductors,
and it is said twenty fremen quit at Albany
this morning.
THE DUTY OF STATE TROOPS.
In reply to the request of Vice-Presldent
Webb to Governor Hill, asking that State
troops be sent to Syracuse, the former this

ALBANY. Aug. II. - Governor Hill
had a consultation with some strike
managers to-day, and after listening to
their grievances he called their atten-
ton to the situation at Dewitt and
asked that all hostile demonstrations there
be stopped, ana they promised that his re-
quest would be complied with. The COM
pany has now peaceably resumed posses
sion OF its property at that place, and its
trains are running through there without
oislcstation. 1t is doubtful whether any
troops VIA 30 now needed unless an unex-
peeted change II, he situation OCCURS
The freight train Which left New York at
II o'clock to-day arrived at East Ailsny at
E o'clock and Will not be sent any fnTt17-
West at present. When the train drew in

they did not modest the train or crew. No
attempt will be made to move the freight

tional Pinkerton men arrive. The train
which blocks the upper railroad bridge is
still lying there, and the stencil which
arises from decaying dressed beef is sick

At the Superntendent's Office it was said
| the freight would be started West to-mor-
| row morning.
NARROW ESCAPE OF A TRAIN.
At West Albany, below Black Rock, the
! Western Express had narrow escape from
being wrecked to-day. The switch at this
point was half open when the train came
along at lightning speed. Happily the en-
| gineer noticed that the switch was mis-
placed and succeeded in stopping the train
| just in time. The Assistant Superintend-
ent said the switch had been left open by
| one of their own men, and danger signal
was flying, which was not observed by the
| engineer.
