To nrdlcnle nonnmenl 10 Col. Mocsch.

Veterans of the SID n. Y. 18th State Militia)
started on n pilgrimage 10 Virginia, where they
fought % years ago, Sept. 20. There were two
objects in view, to visit the old battleields,
and the other To dedicate monument erected
to the memory of their Colonel, Joseph A.
Moesch, who fell at the Wilderness, May g,
1861. The monument cost about $500. 1t IS a
block of granite. and with the pedestal, is
seven feet in hight. On one side IS the coat
ofarms Of the State of New York on tho other
side tho badge of the regiment in the form OF n
Maltese cross. Under the regimcntal badge is
this inscription: :" In memory OF Col. Jos. A.
Moesch, killed at the battle of the Wilderness,
May g. 1864. Erected by his surviving comrades"
Beneath the coat ofarms are the words, Ninth
Regiment r. Y S. NJ, SD n. Y, Volunteers,
n. q. S. n. Y. Second Brigade. Second Diyis-
ion. Fifth Army Corps"
Nearly 40 Veterans Of the 9th went on the
pilgrimage from New York starting from the
Central Railroad of New Jersey at , p. m, Sept.
90. The distinguishing badges were the uni
form cap Of the association aud ribbon. Ten
veterans joined the New Workers at Phiiadei-
phia. The battefelds on which the regiment
was engaged re-ai Harper's Ferry, Fort Royal,
Manassas. Cedar Mountaih, Charlottesville,
the Wilderness, Laurel Hill, Spottsylyania and
Cold Harbor and the veterans will go TO all
and then to Richmond, Warreuton and New
port News. Receptions will probably be held
in some OF the places. especially at Warrenton,
where the regiment was stationed for cOnsid-
cradle time.

The mines at Pilot Knob. Mo-, have ceased
their output. Ever since 1916 these mines have
been steadily worked and produced an enormous
amount of orc. In 1884, the greatest product
was reached, 300 600 tons having been removed
from the bowels of the earth. and for two years
after almost the same number was taken out !;
but tho mines have been falling off very rapidly
since then. and two years ago the Vulcan
Works, whose capacity was 1900 tons per
month. closed up for want of sufficient ore.
Though the company sunk another shaft at
enormous expense, and continued 10 prospect, it
only succeeded i'll striking one small vein near
the surface, which was soon worked out. All
tho machinery has been removed, and the great
iron mines have ceased to DO.
The furnaces and FORCES were built in 1Si7
by the Pilot Knob Iron Co., and in 1853 were
acquired by Choutoau Harrison & Vale. Be
fore the Iron Mountain Railroad was completed
TO this point tho output had 10 be carried over
the Ozark Mountains To Ste. Genevieve, Mo.
1t finally came into the possession of the st.
Louis ore and Steel Co.
Pilot Knob is identified with several signlh.
developed one OF the worst nests of bushwhack-
ers in the country. Besides this, u. S. Grant
received his commission rs General there. The
United States headquarters for the Southwest
were established ut Pilot Knob there it was
that Gen. Hardee surrendered in 1861, and
again, the battle of Pilot Knob was fought in
September, 1864. And now the great Pilot
Knob Mine the supposed GOlcOnda, is thing
of the past. The mountain of iron" is ex-
hausted.

The Confession or tho Tra,n Wreckers.

Thomas L. Cain and Arthur Buett, who are
implicated with Reed, Cordial and Herman,
who are implicated in an attempt to wreck
trains on the New York Central Railroad near
Albany, have made confessions. These con-
LESSONS were secured by Robert Piukertop, and
it is said that the most startling revelations is
in evidence duplicating the official leader OF
tho knights of Labor in the New York Central
strike, who is at least an accomplice after tho
fact. Certain of the conspirators say that
Edward ]. Lee personally furnished them
money with which to leave the country after
they had wrecked the Montreal express They
give details of Lees conversation with them,
when and how the money was paid, and de-
scribe the Master WOrkmans long conferences
with the two men, who now say that they wero
the leaders in tho execution of tho plot.
Reed had been brakeman on the Hudson
River Division; Herman was brakeman and
yardman Cordial had been n conductor on the
Hudson River Division Cain was yardman
and Buett was an assistant to the latter in tho
Albany yard All these men were prominent
strikers and members OF the knights OF Labor.
Cain and Buott were captured in Canada,
whittier they had fled, as they state, with
the money furnished by Master Workman
Lee After Cain, Buett and Reed had made
full confessions, Cordial got started in tho
same direction. 1t appears that Herman was
a leading spirit in the wrecking business, aud
he induced Cain, who is but % years old, to
join him, after first having piled him with
whisky aud cautioning him at the peril Of his
life not TO betray him. Both Cain and Buett
give minute details of the several attempts to
wreck trains, and also their conversation with
Master Workman Lee, his advice TO them to
leave the country at once, and the circum-
stances under which he gave them money to go
abroad.
The general officers of tho Knights of Labor
were shocked at the disclosures made, and said
that until these confessions were published, be-
leved that the men were innocent of the
charges preferred against them, aud they had
intended to defend them, but, If they swear
that they took part in the wrecking of tho
trains, they would make thorough investiga-
ton, and lend every assistance TO the authori-
ties to bring the guilty parties to justice, AS the
Order of Knights of Labor do not recognize
that sort of warfare, nor do they tolerate with
in their ranks men who will resort TO it. They
do not believe that Master Workman Lee had
the slightest knowledge of the guilt of these
men or that he was accessory either before or
after the fact of their heinous crimes.

An,Irs I'm Central Amerjra,

Everything is now quiet in Guatemala aud
there is general feeling OF satisfaction that
martial struggles are now over. The officers and

10 leave Guatemalan shores. Tho Thetis leaves

goes direct TO Pnnta Arenas, Costa Rica aud

popular feeling is that some foreign war vessel
should be stationed at some GuhtemaIan port

The Strike on the \. y. Central Ended.

What promised some Al days ago TO be the
greatest strike Oh record ia the laborng world
was on Wednesday last declared off by General
Master Workman POwdcrly, and on Thursday
nearly $500 men applied 10 the New York
Central Railroad Company for work. The men
who belong 10 the Knights Of Labor fairly aud
frankly admit their defeat, aud they will 90
back as non union men.
Dennis Mccarthy, one Of the leaders Of the
strike, said that the strike had been declared
of by District Assembly No. ZIG, of Albany.
n. Y, acting under the Twice Of General Mas
ter Workman Powderly. aud that the men
would 90 back TO work as on.union men, and
that all but about %, who had made them sc YES
obnoxious to the company, would probably be
taken back. OF this. however, he was not quite
sure but he thought that less than 100 Of the
strikers would be Immediately set to work as
they were experienced men aud that the railroad
company had nothing 10 complain Of against
them but the fact that they were Knights OF
Labor. So long as they return 10 work as nom
union men, the railroad company would be
very glad 10 receive them. lie said also that
the company had hundreds Of applications,
and had only been waiting for the strike to be
declared of to take the old men back. They
want TO go back and the railroad company
wants them therefore the men are defeated
and the company wins.

A Terrible Railroad Accident.

One of the most disastrous railroad accidents
that has occurred in tho country for many
years happened on the Reading Railroad, near
Shocmakerville, Pa on Friday evening last.
Above the village of Shoemakerville there is
an abrupt curve aud here freight train had
run into n coal train, aud the debris was piled
on the other track. The express train, run
ming at the rate of 40 miles an hour, ran into
the wreck, and went down tho cmbankment,
which was 20 feet high, and into the river.
There wero three ordinary coaches filed with
passengers and two Pullman seepors, besides n
mail, baggage and express car. The locomo-
tive, baggage, mail and first Pullman car
plunged down into the river while the other
cars were thrown down the embankmout and
splintcrcd, but lid not reach the water. Twenty
one dead were taken from the wreck, and over
80 were injured, some Of whom will die. 10
seems that there was negligence on the part Of
trainmen of the first wreck, who had plenty OF
time TO warn the approaching express train,
but they were considerably shaken up. and all
seem to have lost their heads. 1t is the worst
loss Of life ever reported on the Reading Road,
and tho whole country is in mourning, as most
of the people killed or injured live near the
scene of the accident, some of them being
prominent persons
