New York CeutraI,s Supply.
ALBANY. N. Y, May IA, 1S94.-The New
York Central has scarcely enough coal on
hand now to supply its engines for three or
four days at the most, and fuel must be pro-
cured from some other source.
From Saturday until midnight yesterday
twelve trains were taken off the upper and
northern divisions. These include gravel
and work trains and all wrecking trains.
Today all switch engines in the Easu and
West Albany yards begin burning wood for
fuel. In East Albany, where ali passenger
engines running between Albany and New
York take their supply, but fifteen cars of
coal are on hand, which can last but a day
or two.
1t is understood the company has sent to
Wales for a large supply and that several
steamers are now on the way.
Owing to the limited supply of fuel the
company has issued orders to carry nothing
but p~erishabie freight.
The Boston II Albany Railroad has
enough coal stored in East Albany to run
the entire Boston and Albany system for at
least six weeks to come.
Another Railroad Affected.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, May IA, 1S94.-The
big strike in the coal fields of Pennsylvania
has thrown out of employment about 800
laborers on the Rome, Watertown 81 Ogdens-
burg Railroad, and if it continues much
longer the supply of soft coal will be
cut off and freight trains tied up. The
Rome, Watertown g. Ogdensburg Company
had a big supply of coal at its coaljng
stations at Oswego, Richland, Carthage,
Philadelphia, De Kalb and Ogdensburg, but
Superintendent Russell said this morning
that the New York Central is running short,
and has called upon Superintendent Russell
to furnish them with soft coal. Thirty cars
of coal have been loaded and shipped to the
New York Central. Superintendent Russell
says that the Rome road has now enough ceal
on hand to run the locomotives for the
next As days. Six construction trains have
been pulled off and about 800 men thrown
out of employment. Everything possible is
being done to curtail in the consumption of
fuel.
Three of the work trains taken off ran
between Oswego and Charlotte and three
between Waterbown and points on the main
line. Should The coal strike continue for
60 days longer the Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg system will be without coal for
fuel.

The Pullman Strike.
CHICAGO, May IA, 1s94.-A serious ques-
ton in connection with the Pullman strike
is will Mr.. Pullman allow the strikers to
| occupy his houses without paying rent9
| Assistant Manager Parend OF the works
has expressed himself freely on this ques-
tion and says hat he is confident that
| the men must either pay their rent or
be put out. eff this step is taken 9
| says Mr.. Parend, ssthe men win say that
Mr.. Pullman isa ~tsrant, but what ought
| they to expecta They gave him no notice of
| going on strikel He had not the slightest in
tention of shutting down the works. He was
| willing to keep the men at work at a loss to
| the company, and he was also wiling to al
low their rents to accumulate, so
what mercy ought they to expect from
MIN? He did all he possibly could for them,
as he had a personal feeling in the matter.
In order to keep the men at work hs partly
| closed down the shops at Detroit and st.
Louis, and the repair work which was done
there was all brought to Pullman. He built
up the town and naturally wants to keep up
