ALBANY, y. y, September 9.-It was
learned to-day that Reed, who has been
confined in the Union Depot since his
arrest on Sunday, was removed from
there yesterday to some place in Albany
county, where he is still in custody.
Chief Humphreys, Of the Central road,
had one of his men watching Reed for
some days, before the wreck and ever
since, and Reed was tracked by this
man to Hudson, where he could have
placed his hand on Reed at any moment.
When il was decided between Detective
Humphreys and Pinkerton that Reed
was wanted, the detective was tele-
graphed to that effect at Hudson Sat
urday night, with results as already
known.

PUMPING oRDIAL.

There was a good deal of mystery as
to where John Cordial was detained
yesterday and last night. The ASSoci-
ated Press reporter can state positively
that when Cordial was delivered over TO
the Rensselaer, county authorities by
the Albany police, yesterday morning,
he was taken to room No. Is in the
Union Depot. occupied by VIM. l..
Lloyd, and detained there until the II
o'clock local train for Troy this morn
ing, when he was taken to the Troy Jail
by Detective Humphreys. Robert \.
Pinkcrton was cloSeted with Cordial all
night, at least, il is known positively he
was there from midnight until 3 a. m.
The fact of the removal of Reed from
the Union Depot, the night after Cor
dial had been secured, seems to show
that PinkertOn was using the same
pumping process on Cordial as he was
heard to use on Reed on Sunday night
last, but with what results only future
arrests will show

CITY ELECTION.
An Interesting Contest and Good Officers
Selected.


As usual city election day was very in
teresting to many citizens-both candi-
dates and others who take part purely for
the fun Of IL. Little attention was paid
TO politics, and the usual scratched
tickets was the result. "City Ticket was
elected with the single exception Of one,
W. II. Barnes defeating Frank Terrey for
alderman from the first ward.
II MIGHT not be out of place to state in
this cmaecton that the past few elections
in Milaer have conclusive)y demonstrated
that the much talked Of "rustlins" and
''political work" don't go any more. The
citizens Of Miller, be it said to their credit,
are tired Of being "rustled. in fact are
exceedingly weary OF having so-calied
rustlers tell them how TO vote. They
quietly make up their miads after
examination Of all tickets. and the rust
