NO TROUBLE HERE.
Sunday Was Absolutely Quiet on
Jersey City Roads.

There were positively no indications
yesterday that the Pennsylvania's men
would join in the strike. All with whom
I conyersed said there were few Knights
on the road Nearly all the linemen are
Brotherhood men. The freight depart
ment was almost completely shut down
as usual on Sundays The Brotherhood
men held their usual Sunday afternoon
meeting. But l was told no reference
was made to the strike during the meet
ing.
At the Erie depot matters were equally
quiet. The passenger trains were hemyi-
ly laden, but the excursion season alone
is accountable for this. Chief Clerk
Maher of the West Bound Freight office,
was busy with some half dozen clerks
when called there late in the afternoon.
He positively denied that the Erie was
handling any of the Central's freight.
The usual quota of engines stood putting
and steaming in the yards.
l talked with number of men on the
engines. Few of the men knew any
thing about the strike except those who
had read the papers. One man told me
that he had heard nothing definite, but
the men stood awaiting orders. Beyond
this he knew nothing. Others told me
that while nearly all the engineers and
departments were made up mainly of
Knights. and should they be ordered out
the Brotherhood men of that road would
likely sustain them, as they stood by the
engineers and firemen in recent grie-
vance against the company. All, how
ever. show a disposition which leads one
to suppose they hope no such order will
by received, as they do not wish to an
tagonize a company that has dealt fairly
bV them
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1890-08-11

New Jersey Centrals officials were un-
easy. diligent enquiry among them
this morning failed utterly to verify.
1t. AT noon all trains were running on
schedule time. Such was the iuforma-
tlon given out from the general superin-
tendent's office, corroborated by the
train master and the train dispatcher.
None OF these were really positive as to
whether the New Jersey. Central was
freight traffic. General Agent r.
w. Pepper of the freight de-
partmenr. however, told me the
company was handling none of the New
York Central'S goods. "Of course" said
he, 'we always have little interchange
of traffic with the New York Central, but
even that is at present held in suspense.
What few Knights we may have on the
road have no grievance whatever. This
rumor of uneasiness is all newspaper
talk. We do not anticipate any trouble
whatever"
When asked what cars were those seen
by reporter on a float while crossing
from New York to the Central, Mr.. Pep
per replied that he did not know. He
was sure they were not tor the Central;
possibly they were for the B. g. o. road.
The float went down the river
Few men could be seen about the
yards, and none OF them were knights,
nor HAD they heard any of the Knights
discussing the strike. There is a general
impression from all quarters that no

The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford passenger trains passed over the

IN THE TEMPORARY DEPOTs.
The p. r. n. vacates the Old Station
and Begins its DemolitioD.

The p. r. II. Vacates the Old Station
and Begins its DemolitioD.
AS was announced in the JERSEY CITY
NEWS of Saturday, the old train shed of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. which has
done such faithful DUTY so many years,
was abandoned Saturday night to make
way for the new structure which is to be
built in connection with the company's
elevated system. The last train to pull
out of the old shed was the midnight ex-
press for Washington, which left the city
at 1880 O'Clock yesterday morning. At
6:34 a. m. yesterday Philadelphia ex-
press the first train of the day, was dis
patched from the new sheds which are to
do duty as temporary station until the
new depot is completed.
A large force of Workmen with hat
cars, derricks and various tools entered
the old she'd at seven o'clock yesterday
morning and began its demolition. They
worked rapidly and methodically, and
this morning all that remains of the first
section of the shed from Montgomery
street was the skeleton of the roof and
tho uprights which support the beams.
1t is expected that the temporary sheds
will be in use at least q year, and there is
no doubt that their present plan will have
to be materially changed. The storm Of
yesterday demonstrated that fact.
The sheds are SO constructed that they
barely cover the platforms of the cars
and leave the passengers entirely ,unpro-
tected while boarding the cars. During
the severe shower of yesterday afternoon
several unlucky persons who were obliged
to board the cars were badly drencned
When the snow and sleet of winter comes
the platforms will be but little better
than the pavement of the streets. 1t is
said that some plan will be devised for
covering the tracks as well as the plat
forms.
