The New York Sun publishes in full the
confessions Of two Of the men engaged in
the attempt to wreck New York Central
trains during the recent strike. The narra-
tives are very minute and circumstantial and
1t is impossible that they could have been
invented as some of the Knights of Labor
leaders affect to believe. The plans to wreck
the trains were laid with great deliberation.
and for fear that their courage might fail
them the plotters frequently stimulated it
by copious drafts of whiskey. They appear
to have been entirely Indifferent as to
whether the train wrecked was a passenger
or freight train. For the sake Of DESTROYING
New York Central property and injuring
.he business OF the road, they did not hest
tate 10 put In jeopardy the lives of hundreds
u men, women and children who were in no
way concerned In or responsible for their
quarrel. VI course it would he nniust -
conclude that because these men woro
knights Of Labor therefore the Kniohts -
Labor as an organization sanctioned tho,-
act. No doubt the great mass of the n,an,
bers OF that organization regard their act
with as much horror as do the great mass ~
the community. But 1t Is only the trnth n
say that the tendency Of such contests as
Mr.. Powderly and the other officers of the
Knights precipitated between the New York
Central road and its employees, is to stimu-
late lawless men to lawless acts. And it is
not alone lawless men that are SO stimulated
1t frequently happens in these strikes that
men who are ordinarily peaceful and well
disposed are melted to crime of which in
their sober senses they could never have
been guilty. The harangues of demagogic
orators who picture capital as a dire op-
pressor, the atmosphere of excitement which
the strikers sbreathe day after day, and the
vision Of suffering to themselves and fam
iileS which they see impending, not
lnItequently upset the moral perception of
t sU.ue u y. the moral men among them and lead
snem 10 countenance and commit,acts which
IN their normal condition thew wonld Iook

The Sprfnghill mines seem to have fully
recovered from the evil effects of the late
strike. The miners seem to have become
heartily sorry of their position and to have
gone to work with more than usual vigor.
Coal shippers have been lenient, holding
their orders back during the strike. for full
fllment afterward. These are now being
filed, and 1t is thought that the present
squirt of prosperity viii fully make up for
the losses caused both sides by the strike.

A Huge Tunnel Project.

There is project on foot to tunnel
the Sierra Nevada mountains for the
purpose Of securing uninterrupted
communication between California
and tho East over the Central Pacific
Railroad. General Superintendent
a. N. Towne, Of the Southern Pacific
Company, in speaking to a reporter
Of the San Francisco Post, said;
Senator Stewart has the matter in
charge and it is quite probable that
the tunnel will be constructed. The
recent storms have demonstrated the
fact that we must have unobstructed
communication with the East. The
project is quite feasible. The expense,
of course, will be great, somewhere
between ten and fifteen millions, but
the benefits to be derived from the
work will wholly justify the outlay.
1t will be as great feat in engineer
ing when accomplished as the tunnel
ing Of the ST.. Gothard tunnel, and
eventually it Will prove of much moro

dams in a minute than anv other man
He has been at Washington telling the
committee on Indian affairs that the
people of Arizona don't want the In
dams removed to the Fort Sill Reserva
tion In Indian Territory. Mr.. Payn,
says If the Indians once get back to tn
west side Of the great river they won
! rest until they get a few scalps. The
Apaches have raided Mr.. Payne's ranch
three times and stolen any amount of
stock.
"You can't depend upon them," said
the rancher. 'Just as soon as thew get
back Geronimo will lead them to the
San Carlos Agency and then the trouble
will begin. At their feasts they drink
grain whisky which makes them crazy.
Then they start out on plundering ex-
petitions. If they are removed it will
be against the wishes of the people of
Arizona and New Mexico" ...
With Mr.. Payne is J. B. Shepard. He
is the champion Indian story-teller of

he said: cpl never forget when
fought beside General Crook in
an Apache battle. We had been
after the redskins some DAYS,
and one noon we sighted band at Crazy
Jim's Gulch. The General started US on
run, and the way we sailed after the
Apaches was caution. They stepped
and set fire to the prairie grass, hoping
to head US off, but we fooled them.
When they saw that they couldn't get
away they rounded up their ponies in a
circle: and stood in the center. We Skin
mished around bit and then sailed in.
General Crook has heart like an OK,
and he said: Boys, just Stay few dozen
of the warriors. Don't kill all, just
enough to let them know that we are
the people, Twas sweltering day and
there wasn't a spot on the sun. After
throwing off our coats and rolling up our
trousers we opened fire. In few Sec
onds the Apaches began to drop, Taking
advantage of an open place 1 led crowd
right into. the midst of the Indians.
Suddenly my pistol was hurled from my
hand and 1 had to work with an old

Moving Bees.

A correspondent referred the following
questions to the editor of American Bee
Journal for answer: /. Would it not be
better to move bees ON light night?
2. Would you tack wire cloth over the
entrances, or entirely close the entrances?
3. Would you tack wire cloth over the
entire top of the hives? T. Do you put
them two tiers high. and if you do, how
high must the second be raised above
the first tier? The road to move them
over is very rough and rocky.
The reply was as follows: 1. Any time
when the bees are not flying will do. 3
Tack wire cloth over the entrances. 8.
Fasten the frames so they cannot slide
together and kill the bees: then tack
muslin over the frames. 4. Yes. Raise
the upper tiers by putting inch strips of
wood across them. Secure the load well
so that there will be no danger of shift
