is danger of fresh trouble on the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg railroad. Cen
eral Superintendent Bartlett Is here
and George E. Merchant, assistant to
President Yates, is to arrive during the
day. Both are at the Iroquols. IL new
demands are made by the men as ex-
pected all will be discharged and new
men put in at the old rate. At the West
ern New York and Pennsylvania, the
men have refused to handle Reading
cars loaded with coal and II the compa-
ny insists on their doing so, the men
will go out.
THE BLOCKADE BROKEN.
The most sanguine Of the striking
swilchmen can no longer deny that the
roads are moving freight. Since the re-
sumption of work yesterday morning
the Central Company has moved more
cars than ordinarily and the prospect
of events arising that would impede
further progress is hourly diminishing.
The congeSted condition Of the yards
at Black Rock has been relieved to such
an extent that all embargo on western
freight is practically removed and cars
that have been held back along the
Michigan Central are being showed
across the international bridge in num-
bers that exceed the ordinary influx.
QSince the first train was started for
East Buffalo at II o'clock yesterday
morning trains have continued TO run
over the Belt line between Black Rock
and East Buffalo yards as fast as they
could be made up by the non-union
crews. Since II o'clock last night and
up to 3 O'clock this afternoon Is trains,
or runs, as they are called, have been
sent eastward from the Black Rock
yards Stock, dairy and other perish
able freight, has been given the usual
preference and has moved with prompt
ness and dispatch.
The Erie made their first attempt to
start freight out of the Black Rock
yards this morning.
1t was
THE FIRST SIGN OF LIFE
that has been manifested in these yards
since last Monday. Only one train was
sent over this morning. Another went
this afternoon. 1t is not probable that
any attempt to work the Erie yards
north of East Buffalo will be made to-
ulght.
The Central and Lehigh are all work
ing vigorously at East Buffalo. The Erie
civ full trains fhiS Vnnrnipn
The Central have done a trifle better,
and the Lehigh about the same. The
soldiers still patrol all yards in which
there has been any trouble, and have
had TO deal more with the crowds of
spectators, who have flocked around the
yards, than with the dsaffected railroad
men during the day.
The Lake Shore are moving some
freight, and made several deliveries to
the Central this morning. The Nickel
Plate pushed some stock and refrigera-
tor beef onto the Lackswanna connec-
tion near Smith street this morning.
They are not attempting to move much
time freight, but keep perishable and
stock trains running without serious
delay. The West Shore brought in one
train from suspension tbridge his morn
ing, and two trains of west-bound mer-
chandise routed over the Michigan Cen
trail via suspension were hauled out OF
the yards at East Buffalo during the
day.
Late this afternoon the Central sent
train of hard coal from East Buffalo
TO Black Rock The movement of coal
is strong evidence that the yards are
getting pretty we'll cleared up, as it is
about the last product that would suffer
by delay.
The Erie moved &c grain line cars
This morning, besides taking all Lake
freight that was loaden to the East
Buffalo yards. The local and transfer
freight from the Louisiana street house
is being got out as fast as ii is ready for
forwarding. The operations of the
yards to-day have been victory for the
companies.
