Hudson river division Of the Central
road, whom he arrested in Hudson on

Reed was taken to Superintendent Bis

and held in private custody for the time
being in order to allow the detectives
who are working on the case an oppor-

Bissell, Robert A. Pinkerton and Mr.
Humphreys, the Central detective
stationed at Poughkeepsie. were
closeted with Reed all the afternoon.
Reed, who is we'll known railroad
man, his whole family being in the bus
mess, was tracked to Shodiack and then
to Hudson, and one OF the detectives
found him at house OF prostitution.
The chief detective of the road slapped
him on the back and said: Reed, We
want you at Albany" The man turned
pale and said: "What for? That Job
at Castleton? Who squealed?" BE was
locked up and was brought here yester-
day afternoon.
Superintendent Bissel'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 rumors say that prominent
Knights of Labor are concerned.

A Prsm~ssss BlaSt Csusss . Vrighthul Leo
Torn Co Kksgments
SPOKANE FALLS. Wash, Sept a-At
eleven o'clock Saturday night the men
engaged in taking out the mangled Vic-
Tins OF the frightful blast explosion IN
the Northern Pacific freight yards were
forced to desist because among tho
rocks which were being cleared away
were five other blasts that might be ex-
ploded in the task Of removing the mass
Of debris that buried the victims
Up to that hour fourteen bodies had
been taken out OF these the following
were identified: Henry Jacobini Veyel-
Ter. Henry Apell, Charles veyeller, An
drew Puelonelio, F. A. Holm, Joseph
Ray, John Cartlinio. James MCPHERSON,
Roy Pinkey D. Vitter. j. Talbo, A. w.
Warren, Isaac johnson, Dan Macarthur
and Homer Olsen.
The men were given no chance for
life. It was either instant death or
slight injury. There were about two
hundred pounds Of giant powder in the
blast and the accident was caused by
some ones carelessnesA The man in
charge Of the blast and three assistants
were blown to atoms.
1t Is the custom to prepare blasts and
charge them and at the hours Of twelve
noon and six o'clock, after the men
have left work and gone to place Of
safety, to shoot them. In this case,
however, 1t seems that one blast had
been prepared and the foreman, c. No
Pherson, was preparing second
The men had all finished their work
and were putting on their coats and
picking up their lunch pals, ready to
togo their homes after their days work.
Either the rock was too hot from the
action Of the drills, or else tamping ex-
ploded the second blast and that ex-
ploded the first The man who was
tamping paid the penalty with his life.
A man who stood beside the one who
was tamping escaped with slight bruises.
although 20, 900 cubic feet Of rock were
hurled for hundreds Of feet in every d.
rection. Another man who was near
the deadly blast and who was supposed
to be dead was seen shortly after the
explosion in q half crazed condition
walking around with his clothing torn
to shreds.
Although force worked until all the
rock dislodged was removed no more
bodies were found. The number Of
dead found was fourteen. In addition
to these one man died at the hospital
and it is also reported that two more
badly injured died at their homes
Many of those injured were SO badly
hurt that recovery is almost impossible.
General Foreman Charles Holt states
that forty-two men were in the gang at
work on the cut in the ledge. OF this
number fifteen and perhaps seventeen
are dead, eight are in the hospital and
1t has so far been impossible to deter
mine the whereabouts Of the other men.
OF these many supposed to have been
hurt will probably be present at roll
call to-day

STANDARD OIL PROFITS.
The Volume OF Business Transacted BY
Americas Greedlest Monopoly.

The Volume OF Business Transacted BY
Americas Greediest Monopoly.
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press sums up an interesting article on
the Standard Oil magnates, as follows:
1.-THE amount of business in dollars
transacted each day by the Standard
Trust and its several dependencies can
only be Appropriated. but some idea may
be gained from the following facts: The
present crude production averages in
the neighborhood OF $4,000 barrels q
day, about eighty-hve per cent OF which
Is handled and ultimately bought by
the Standard; the price Of oil to-day, ex-
elusive of pipeage, ranges from IS
cents barrel on Bradford oil to 81 and
S1.O5 on that from the middle and lower
fields, or an average Of about 93 cents
barrel. This entails q daily expend-
iture for crude material alone of about
500, 900. The daily shipments at present
are nearly on level with the runs from
the wells, and these shipments fairly
represent the amount Of oil refined and
sold.
1.-THE price Of refined oil in barrels at
wholesale ranges in round numbers, in
Guiding the packages, from 50. IS to 81. so
or 50 barrel for the grades ordinarily
used. A fair average is 81 barrel;
when the Trust sells to the consumer
through its own agencies, the price Is Of
course much higher. but even at the
figures named, and deducting the per-
centage OF lubricating oils and naph-
thas, or about twenty-five per cent the
refining trade alone approximates to
$50, 900 day. The profit on lubricat-
ing oils and naphthas are much higher,
and it Is safe to say that the business In
these branches is close to sl10, O0Oa day.
added to these figures are the pipeage
charges Of 20 cents barrel on over
go. 900 barrels, total Of S12, 600; the
storage charges on oil in tanks is be-
tween 50, 900 and $40, 900; the pipeage on
oil to the seabosrd and to Cleveland and
Pittsburgh. which can not we'll be deter
mined in amount but Is not far from
SIS 600. and the business In the Lima
field, which is in the neighborhood OF
ct least $4,000 The total amount OF
business transacted each day by the
STANDARD, including Sundays. is, there
fore, very close TO 500, 900, or sl40. COO
900 during the year.
els this business profitable?
can answer may be found in the $780,
900. 900 owned by John D. Rockefeller and
in the vast fortunes OF his associates.
A conservative estimate Of the tndivid-
ual wealth Of the Standard magnates.
OF the present value Of its various REIN
ing plants. pipe lines, tanks and real
property places the total at $3.50, OOa, 900
all realized IN about twenty-six years
from an original cash capital Of SIS, 900.

AN IDEAL MosseAcK.
The Absolute Neutrality-suspicious. of IL
American Indian.

The Absolute Non-Progressiveness of the
American Indian.
The Indian is a moSsback. To such a
degree eminent is this, that 1 have heard
from certain Marco Polos of the West
that these MOSES offered coverts and
lurking places for tree toads and other
life alien and foreign to the Indian
do not, however, believe this.
The Indian is absolutely non-progres-
sive. He Will wear breeches if your
philanthropy takes that form; that is he
will wear them after some architectural
alterations touching their rear elevation
from which they emerge as leggins. But
he will not make breeches for himself
He will use paleface gun or saddle and
many of the paleface's garments when
he can get them, but it will never enter
his head to attempt to make them him
self. When the paleface luxury wears
out or breaks he returns phlegmatically
to early principles in supplying their
place This is one of the main differ
ences between white man and an In
dian. The whites are inventive and
progressive; the Indian is at mental
standstill. He constructs his bow and
other weapons, his moccasins and the
rest of his harness exactly, SO far as he
or white men know, as did his stors
any number of thousands of years ago.
If he had to make an arrow head or
Ratchet to-day, it would be flint. For
a century he has used none but iron
which were made and given to him by
the Great Father at Washington, but
how they we're made and of what, he
never once inquired. He never had the
slightest idea of making them himself
and he never will.
The Indian is not a profound thinker.
His appearance might mislead one on
this point. His habit of sitting notion
less and silent for hours, the gravity of
his face, the manner of closely wrapping
his blanket as though brooding over
half-formed thoughts which would pre-
sently hatch and find expression, is apt
to lead one astray. Venture to say that
Indians have sat thus for hours as, abso-
lutely without intellectual as without
physical motion and with no deeper cog
itations than those of some meditative
swapping turtle basking on log.
There is one thing peculiar to an In
dian Whatever he does, he does per-
fectly, just as birds and animals do.
With an Indians work tools no white
man, though he practice for years, can
do as we'll as does the savage the mo-
ment he is old enough to work at all.
He makes his moccasins as birds build
nests, perfect up 10 the possibilities of
the material used. They never change;
neither take from or add TO, and appa-
rently work from instinct rather than
reason.-Kansas City Star
