Dastardly Attempt to Wreck q

Time-Knights of Labor Arrested
For a Heinous Crime.

PoUcHKEEPsrE, y. Y, Sept. s.-A des-
perate attempt was made tonight to wreck
the fast St Louis and Chicago express,
which leaves New York on the New York
Central at p. m. The train was
stopped by danger signal south
of Old Troy. go yards south OF
the New Ham burg drawbridge.
Two minutes previous fagman had dis
covered several ties standing endways in q
culvert near Old Troy. and when be took
hold of one of them TO remove 1t he was
fred on from the bashes on the east side
of the track knowing the fast express
was nearly due, be ran south and set the
danger signal. which stopped the train.
The fagman said the ties stuck above
the rails and would certainly have thrown
the train from the track.
The fast train was composed of seven or
eight sleepers, all full. two ordinary coaches
and baggage-car. There were eight ties
on the main track. There were also two
ties placed alongside of the rail towards the
south, so as to ditch the train. The train
passed half an hour late.
ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. S.-The mystery
attending the apprehension of John Reed,
who was detained al day yesterday on
suspicion of being one of the Central train
wreckers, was partially explained this
morning by the arrest of John Herman, a
West Albany freight brakeman, and John
Cordial, freight conductor. Both men
are striking knights. From words over
heard by reporters during Reeds cross
questioning by Pinkerton men, it is evident
that the arrests we're made on information
furnished by Reed. The latter has been
very prominent in his hostility TO the
Pinkertons and made threats against the
road, SO he was spotted"
1t is understood tonight that detectives
learned that five men were concerned in the
dastardly work, and that all are under
arrest except Ezra wager, a striking

SENATOR CHRIsTIANCY DEAD.
A Great Jurist Who was Ruined by a
Woman.

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 8. - Ex-United
States Senator Christiancy died this even
ing.
Isaac Peckham Christiancy was born in
Blocker, N. Y. March II, 1872, and was edu.
Gated at the academies at Kingsborough and
Ovid, \. Y. He taught school and became the
support of his fathers family, and afterward
studied law with John Maynard. He
removed 10 Monroe, Mich, in 1876, where he was
admitted to the bar. be was elected prosecuting
attorney for Monroe county in 1871, and in 1913
was delegate to the Buffalo Free Soil conven-
ton, having left the Democrat C party on the
question of slavery He was a member of the
state Senate from 1850 till 1852 and in the latter
year was the Free Sell candidate gov
ernor. He was one of the founders of the
Republican party in Michigan, and delegate
TO its first national convention in Phiadelphia
in 1856. He published the Monroe Commercial
in 1857, and became its editor. and in the same
year was an unsuccessful candidate for United
States senator. He was elected judge of the
state supreme court in 1857, reelected in 1865
and 1873 both times without opposition, and
became chief justice in January, 1872 He
was elected United States senator in 1875. and
resigning in February. 1879. on account of ILL
health, was sent as minister TO Peru, where he
remained for two years. During the civil war.
Judge Christisncy was at different times on the
STATS OF General Custer aud General A. A.
Humphreys. The greatest mistake of Judge
Chrisuancy's life was his marriage with
pretty Lilly Lugenbeel, girl of
o. in his Goth year. This marriage
proved most unfortunate, as it alienated the
Judge and his family. and shocked the promi.
nent jurist's wide circle OF friends. The young
wife soon became ensrmored of young army
officer, aud a divorce followed. after which
Judge Chrisiiancy sunk into comparative OBJ
security. His declining years were de.
voted TO critical examination of
the old and new tes,aments, and
the result of this study is said TO be embodied in
q work treating the Christian religion from an
infiders standpoint. His judicial opinions,
which bear the impress of a master mind and
are of unquestioned authority. are TO b. found
