LAW TAKES HOLD. |
Detectives Make Arrests in
Connection With the Cen
trail Train Wrecking.
It's Said One Has Made a Con.
fession Which duplicates
Four Strikers.

ALBANY, n. y, Sept. S.-John J. Reed a
brakeman residing at East Albany, was ar
rested to-day at Hudson charged with
wrecking the train near Castleton Thursday
night. 1t is said that he has confessed his
crime and has given the names of four com
panions, all of whom, it is
SAID, are strikers. The greatest ex-
element prevails, and the strikers them
selves make threats against Reed. He was
brought to this city to-day very quietly,
and is thought to be confined in the Central
depot, although Supt Bissen denies it.
T Mr.. Bissell, when seen tonight said: II
have nothing to say tonight and would
prefer to have things kept quiet To-mor-
row may be day of surprises Capt. Rob-
ert Pinkerton said, Nothing can be said
tonight. Ny men did not apprehend the
man, and even if they had I could not talk
of the CASE
The facts are difficult to obtain, but it
seems that as soon as the detectives went to
work they found traces of Reed, who is a
well known railroad man, his whole fam
lily being in the business. He was tracked
to Schodiack, and then to Hudson, and
last night one of the detectives found him
at house of prostitution. The chief de-
sective Of the road slapped him on the back
and said: Reed we want you at Albany"
The man turned pale and said, s'What Tor?
That job at Castleton? Who squealed?'
Mr.. Bissell's reticence in the matter. it is
believed, arises from the fact that they are
trying to get Reed to give the names of
others, and further rumors say that promi-
nent Knights of Labor are concerned. Mas
ter Workman Lee said tonight that Reed
was not striker, but had refused to go out
with them in the late trouble. Hesays that
Knights sympathize with the road and hope
that all concerned will be caught.
Reed is unmarried and lives with his
mother at East Albany. Hehas been miss
ing ever since the night of the wreck. At
his home tonight it was stated that he was
q Knight of Labor and striker, despite the
knights denial. Later tonight a man
named Lon Miller a railroad man, knight
and a striker, was arrested at his home in
Greenbush Hollow, charged with being one
OF the wreckers. It is thought that Reed
has turned states evidence and that this is
the first fruit of his evidence. Other ar
rests are promised before morning. No in
formation OF any consequence can be OBJ
tanned from the railroad authorities

NOT a DEBATER.
John Burns Did Not Shine in the Late
Trades Union Congress.

John Burns Did Not Shine in the T.ata
Trades Union Congress.
LONDON, Sept. S.-One of the minor Incl
dental results of the late trades unions con-
gress at Liverpool is a readiustment of the
relative ranking Of the great labor leaders
in the estimation of their followers. Hith-
erto John Burns was unquestionably pre-
eminent and he had come to be re-
garded as little short of infalli-
BILE in all matters of Importance to
the interests of labor This fame
rested upon his phenomenal success as an
organizer of men and as manager of
strikes. But throughout the congress his
conduct was marked by an unreasonable
obstinacy in small matters, and by do
mineering manner which led to frequent
d7sagreeable scenes and to the delay of
business. 1t became very evident that the
very qualities which fit him to conduct a
fight against capital, unfit him for delibera-
ton and discussion on abstract questions
of general policy.
On the other hand Ben Tillett and Tom
Mann, who have always yielded the SUI
premacy to Burns in his special line of the
organization and handling OF men, easily
proved themselves his superiors in debate
and counsel. Burns friends now say that
he himself realizes that his strength
lies in another direction; that this
was his first experience in such
conyentio on and that, as he is entirely un-
selfish IN his devotion to the cause, he will
profit by the result and hereafter rest con-
tent with his leadership in the actual battle
held OF labor and capital, leaving the honors
OF OF debate to his colleagues: The congress.
