CHARGES AGAINST LEE
Sensational Confessions of Gen.
 tral Train Wreckers.
TRAITORS IN PowDERLY's CAMP.

Prominent Knights of Labor Said to Have
 Betrayed the Secrets of the Strikers to
 the Central-Master Workman Leo Ac.
 cused on Little Evidence.
 NEW YORK, Sept 22-The Sun of Sun. day morning published six column special dispatch from Troy embodying the sworn confessions of three of the men ar- rested on the charge of wrecking the Mon- treal express on the New York Central and Hudson River railroad near Castle ton, on Sept. 4. These men, Cain, Buett and Reed, relate circumstantiallyt the story of their placing the Instructions upon the track, and duplicate the other two men in custody, Cordial and Kiernan. All of the men were prominent strikers and Knights of Labor Cain and Buett were arrested in Prescott, Ont, where they had fled, and state that the money with which they were enabled to reach there was furnished to them for that purpose by Master Work man Lee, of District Assembly 246.
 Suspicious Against Lee.
 That Lee furnished money to the train wreckers and abctted their schemes is not positively known. According to Detective Robert Pinkerton, he has only suspicious that such is the case, but he says he will shortly be in possession of sufficient proof to show that Lee had hand in the nefari ous business. The detective says, however, that he has knowledge that Lee knew that his men had committed the crime of train wrecking, and that when he offered to give them money to flee the country he became an accomplice after the fact.
 In the mems confessions they detail the conversation they had with Lee, and the long conference of the master workmen with the men who, 1t is said, were the lead CTS in the plot.
 Alleged Traitors in Camp.
 Regarding the manner in which the company was furnished with information of the identity of the train wreckers, De ! tective Pinkerton says that on the day i'm mediately following the wrecking of the Montreal express the names of the men who participated in the wrecking were fur nished to the company. The detective states that whom the strike was first insti- tuted the New York Central deemed 1t nec- essary, in order to protect it's property, to employ men to act as spies, these men be ing taken from the highest ranks in the labor organization Who these men are will perhaps never be disclosed.
 It is said these spies are very prominent in the Knights of Labor, having the full confidence of Powderly and his associates. These men acted as agents for the com papy. They were not employed at work on the road, but mingled among the strikers and brought intelligence of the latter's movements and intentions to the officers of the company.

Nine Days, Rain.

NORWICH. Sept. 17.-This was the ninth day on which rain has fallen continuously in eastern Connecticut. There is freshet in some rivers, the roads have been badly washed, the crops are rotting and great deal of other damage has been done. To night the sun came out and painted rain bow on the sky, which is taken to be a promise that Connecticut will not be drowned out again this fall.
 Lots of Little Blueish.
 NEW LONDON, Sept. 1.-The little blue fish have struck on in great schools all along shore from Bridgeport to the Rhode Island coast. The game little fish is found not only in the open waters, but far up the estuaries, coves and rivers. A good fisherman can catch as many fish as he cares to haul aboard his boat in the Thames river, New London harbor, the lower reaches of the Connecticut and other rivers of the state. One sportsman alone took 300 little bluefsh not far from the wharf at New London in 8 few hours a day or two ago. and yesterday Norwich fisherman got 10l fish fin an hour or 50 in the Thames river, few miles below Nor wich. The fish are delicious, fat and say. ory. Big bluefish bite we'll, too, some of the time, in the Race off New London and Block Island sound. It is we'll known to veteran fishermen that blueflsh arc by fa1 better and bigger in September and October than at any othsr season.

WORLDS FAIR AUTHORIZATIONS.

There is some sense in the suggestion of
prominent member of the Senate. as re-
ported in Tuesdays CALL, that any appro-
priation for the Worlds Fair larger than
$4,000 should not be made without the con-
sent of the people. A handsome showing
at the Worlds Fair will be benefit to the
State: but. after all, the expenditure is Of
character which should be determined for
or against By direct vote. OF late years
Legislatures have been somewhat too prodi-
gal of the peoples money. Our Constitution
expressly forbids the Legislature to incur a
debt, but it leaves that body free to tax the
people as heavily as they please. The 80
cent-limit plank in the Republican platform
and the 45-cent-limit plank in the Demo-
cratic platform were adopted with the
Worlds Fair full in view. The party that
succeeded in the election will be held to the
fulflment of its pledges. The proposition
to appropriate 100000 must certainly de-
pend upon the aggregate Of appropriations
for necessary purposes. Ii the 50-cent limit
produces a surplus, it will then be ques-
ton if the surplus may be appropriated to
fine representation of the products of the
State at the fair. But until there is a sur
plus in sight no such question can arise.
The party must keep its pledges if the Cali
fcrnia exhibition has to depend upon private
subscriptions.
