THE CENTRAL STRIKE.

AT BUFFALO.


BUFFALO, n. Y. , Aug. l4.-There are
no new developments here to-day in the
Central strike. All passenger trains
were moving nearly on time. NJ. F.
MoGowan of Albany, representing the
Knights of Labor, who is here, says they
have not given up and the strike will be
more serious within five days. The
knights of Labor held session here this
p. IN. and state thar by to- morrow noon
the Central will find out that the strike
is not near over.
PINKERTONS AT ALBANY.
ALBANY, n. y, Aug. 1.-two hum
dred Pinkertons, about quarter of
whom are armed with Winchesters, took
possession of the West Albany freight
yards this morning. New hands
in sufficient numbers TO operate
the yards from the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and Read
ing roads went to work, and about 10
o'clock the first attempt to move freight
was made. The strikers are very peace
able and no violence is anticipated.

NEW YORK, Aug. li.-Local assembly

the men were as determined as ever.

NEW YORK, Aug. l4.-Already the
strike has cost the company many men
and much money. The company Off
GERS assert that the railroad has lost
nothing so far as its passenger traffic is
concerned, and say that at the present
time it is impossible for them to estI-
mate approximately the amount of
money lost in the freight department.
The nearest estimate that could be OBJ
tanned was that the company had lost
over $500 900. According to Master
Workman Lees statement there was
about 10 200 men who struck work.
They have been on strike
for six days, and as Mr.. Lee says, there
have been no desertion from the ranks.
The grand total loss up to date is $780,
900.
From the outlook at present the great
er number of these men will not be able
to receive work again on the Central
road. They may be out of work in
definitely. In the meantime those men
who are working, members of orders in
all branches of the trade, will be as
sessed every week to keep these men
from starving. These assessments may
tend to break up the order in the East.
AT 8 O'Clock the following state
ment relative to the old hands was given
out by Mr.. Webb:
"a large number of the men who
have been out on the strike are making
application ut different points on the
road for reinstatement, the application
being coupled with an assurance of

A MOHAMMEDAN WEDDING.
SoRe of the Peculiarities of the Moslem
Marriage System.

An English marriage in high life"
without either bride, bridesmaids or other
palpitating ladies on view, would smack
strongly of Hamlet with the character
role omitted. What, too, could the as
sembled gentlemen do, deprived, as they
would be, of those pleasant feminine
criticisms of the guests and dresses
which obtain on such occasions? There
are some masculine cynics who consider
weddings rather melancholy affairs, even
under the best circumstances, but they
would be infinitely more so without the
presence of lovely woman. That is,
from the European standpoint. Moham-
medans Of good position take precisely
the opposite view. The Calcutta native
papers lately gave long and graphic
account of the marriages of two young
men, the sons of a local magnate.
Matches, Examinations, flags, furniture
and decorations are described in the
most minute details. But no mention is
made of the brides, nor does single
feminine name appear in the lengthy
list of guests who attended. Fifteen
hundred turned up, including mahara-
! IaL9, hdH3ooi hAlHdLS anu SJ JUS galore,
and the affair went off beautifully in
avery way. But poor Nourmahal did
not even get a peep at it, unless surrep-
titiously through some chink in the
senana. 1t is further stated that all the
guests made point of Offering felicita-
tions to the bridegrooms, but no good
wishes did they bring for the brides
Yet, odd to say, all seem to have en-
ioyed themselves greatly, or the Gestivi-
ties would not have been prolonged un-
til far into the night. Unless, therefore,
we assume that Asiatic human nature is
altogether different from European,
some advantage might possibly accrue
to English society from experimenting
with the Moslem marriage system. Lon
