Johann Most,the anarchist, was arrested at noon ‘Thursday at tue office of his newspaper, on the ‘op floor of No. 167 William street, New York, by Detective Sergeants Crowley and McGuire, of In- Spector Byrnes’ staff, and two patrolmen. He was brought directly to police headquarters, taken through the aldermen’s gate, and locked up in on* Of the cells inthe basement. His arrest was made by direction of Laspector Byrnes, on a warrant 1s- sued by Justice Cowinz, for having made an incen- diary speech, calculated to inite a riot, on last Friday night, ina hali on 7th street. The war- Fant was made returnable before Justice Cowing inthe court. Asearly as last Wednesday Super- tendent Murray intimated to his captains that they snould take particular pains in watching the movements of anarchi-.sin this city especially. during the excitement attending the hanging of the anarchists in Chicago on ‘and thelr funeral on Sunday. On raursday night Parade of the “Keds,” and then all the reserves Were on duty. Late that night Superiotendent Murray tssued 10 captains to follow the movements of all anarchists, and to report to im any meetings they were likely to hold. On Saturday ni .nt a wake was to be heid by the anarchists in Florence Hall, in 2a avenue; but Captain McCullag.s succeeded in getting his oiflcers there be(ore the Socialists urrived, and made te place, decidedly uncou:fortable for the inalcontents, jut wile tuls Was going oa Jouann Most, with bis companion, Lena Fischer, was attending an an- arculsts’ meeting tn 7th street.

Untortunately for Mosi, Pairolmen Rost and Sechs, of the fourteenth pre- cinet, were there in civilians’ dress, taking notes, Tuese memorauda were brought to Superintendent Murray aod iaid before him, and on Monday a gearch Was begun for the ‘anarchist. He was not to be found. There was every reason to be- Meve that he had left the jurisdiction of the Stace, and Was in aiding somewhere, Tuen the surewd- ‘Less of Inspector Byrnes came into play. He knew that if he wade public the quandary of the police Most would naturaily learn of it, and he woud stay Out of the city indefinitely; so he kept nis mo "th sealed, and allowed the excitement uf the search ior Most to die out. The bait was well used, Most thought the trouble was gone by, and on Wednesday he came back to the city and went to work on his paper. Mr. Byrnes was informed Of this, and early yesterday morning he went be- fore the district attorney and pr sented the evi- deace be had obtained agalust Must for his tncen- diary remarks, and asked cuat the grand jury find an ladictmenot agatast him. ‘The inspector and Seven Witnesses guve testimony, and an indict. ™ Ot was fouad.
