In all probability the strike of the section hands of the New York, New Haven and Hartford will peter out in a few days and will not be nearly as far reaching in it's results as the freight strike a few weeks ago. Though far more men went out ill the strike of the section hands, the road is not severely handicapped by the leaving of the men in this city. Moreover the strikers have commenced to return and several went back this morning. Though number of the men that returned to work were threatened by gang of strikers, no trouble occurred to-day.
 s It looked as though there would be trouble last evening when the pay car arrived in this city The Italians who were awaiting it swarmed around the paymaster like swarm of bees, and some of the strikers were pumping el- bows With the workmen who had not gone out. At one time there must have been almost POO men in the yard and their angry words and gesticula- tions made it plain that they were highly excited It would not have taken much to start fight and there would have been some deadly work done, as no officers were in sight though three of the men who did duty Wednesday night were stationed neai the freight house yesterday morning for time.
 Many of the strikers who resided in other places are still in this city. IT a few days the strike will undoubt. edly fizzle out.
