Bishop O'Dwyer's Quarrel with Dillon

LONDON. Sept. S.-The dispute between
Bishop O'Dwyer, of Limerick, and the

assuming an acute phase Some of the
clergy are with the bishop, while all ac-
cord to him, whatever their private senti-

priests, therefore, who are, as rule, in
thorough sympathy with Irish nat ional
aspirations, refuse to join in any action
which directly or indirectly reflects on
their ecclesiastical superior Bishop
O'Dwyer is respected by everybody in
Limerick. He has come to the conclusion
that the tenants ought to pay their rents,
when at a reasonable figure, and that it is
wrong to advise them otherwise. From
this view nothing can shake him. for he is
as firm as adamRnt.

JOHN REED GIVES HIMSELF AWAY.

Feeling the Grip of the Officsr He Makes
a Remark That Is Incriminating-A
Prospect That the Men Who Put Up
the Diabolicai Plot at CastIeton Will
Get Their Deserts-A Day of Surprises
Promised by Superintendent Bisseii.
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. s-John j. Reed,
brakeman residing at East Albany was
arrested yesterday at Hudson, charged
with wrecking the train near Castleton
Thursday night. It is said that he has
confessed his crime and has given the
names of four companions, all of whom,
it is said are strikers The greatest ex-
element prevails here and the strikers
themselves make threats against Reed.
He was brought to this city yesterday
morning very quietly and is thought to
be confined in the Central Railway sta
tion, although Superintendent Bssell de-
mics it. Mr.. Bissell when seen last night
by a United Press reporter, said: Il have
| nothing to say tonight. and would prefer
to have things kept quiet. Tomorrow
may be day of surprises" Capt. Pinker-
ton would not talk except to say that his
men did not make the capture
Squealed as Soon as Arrested.
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
family being in the business He was
tracked to Schodiack and then to Hudson
and Saturday night one of the detectives
found him in a house of prostitution. The
chief detective of the road slapped him on
| the back and said "Reed, we want you
| at Albany" The man tured pale, and
| said: What for? that job at Castleton
Who squealed?" He was locked up, and
was brought here yesterday afternoon
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 the others. and further rumor says
| that prominent knights of Labor are con-
| cerned.
The Knights Repudiate Him.
| Master Workman Lee said last night
that Reed was not a striker, but had re-
| fused to go out with them in the late
trouble. He says that Knights sympa-
| thi2e with the road, and hope that all con-
| cerned will be caught Reed is unmar-
| ried, and lives with his mother at East
Albany. He has been missing ever since
| the night of the wreck At his home last
night it was stated that he was a Knight
OF Labor and striker despite the knights
| denial
Another One Taken In.
Later last night man named Lon Mil
Ter. railroad man, knight and a
striker, was arrested at his home in Green
bush Hollow, charged with being one of
the wreckers. 1t is thought that Reed
has turned states evidence, and that this
is the first fruit of the evidence. Other
arrests are promised. No information of
any consequence can be obtained from the
| railroad author rites.

Changes In the Tariff Bin.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. S-The senate
made quite number of changes in the
tariff bill during its consideration Satur-
day. The duty on white pine shingles
was put at 90 cents per 1000, reduction;
that on fresh fish was reduced to II cent
per pound; that on tin was fixed at
cents per pound. 1t was provided that
tin plate shall come in free, if by
Oct /, 1896, the home supply does not
equal the demand. A duty of 10 per cent
was placed on all teas shipped from any
country except that of their produo-
ton, the object being to force ship
ments of that article OF commerce
direct to this country from China instead
of by way of Canada and other British
provinces; the drawback provision was
modified so as not to allow drawbacks
where less than 10 per cent. of the goods
for export is represented by duty paid on
imported constituents, or on claims for
less than $40. All the sections of the bill
relating to tobacco peddlers, internal
taxes, or tobacco and cigars and vinegar
factories, were struck out, as were those
relating to dealers in leaf tobacco, all the
Democrats voting against the motion.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Sept. S.-A
frightful and deadly explosion of dyna-

city Saturday afternoon, near g o'clock.
A large force of men have been for some
time engaged in blast ing out large rock
pile at that point and at the time of the ac-
cident about fifty men were at or near the
scene. The practice has been to fire the
blasts after the greater portion of the la
borers employed had gone home, so as to
reduce the chances for fatalities in case
of an accident, and the men killed or IN
jured were busily engaged in the work
when the catastrophe occurred.

one blast had been prepared and the men
were putting in second, it exploded.
How it happened is not known. The man
who made the fatal mistake can not tell
for he is among the dead The explosion
set off the other blast and the effect was
terrible. Twenty-Five thousand cubic feet
of rock was thrown over upon the unsus-
pecting mass of humanity, and from the
debris Immediately there arose the cries of
q score of crushed and mangled victims.
Hundreds of people soon gathered at the
scene, and for three hours the work of
taking out the dead and injured went on.
The scenes at the hospital were heart
rending. Wives and relatives of the
workmeu were crazed with grief and sus-
pense.
