OF late Superin tendent Kennedy, of tho
Police Department, has been in receipt OF
letters furnishing Information that there was
q daring attempt on foot 10 destroy this and
other cities North, and by an association
known as the knights Of the Golden Circle.
Yesterday Mr. Kennedy received another
letter from party in St. Louis. setting forth
the same facts that had been previously for
warGed 10 him, which MIR. Kennedy has every
reason TO believe will be- attempted should
favorable oppor tunity offer.
1t seems that ut the time a break was made
in the CrotOn aqueduct, the city was TO be
fired in various places by gang reported TO
have been hired by parties South. These men
have secured various houses throughout the
city, and at Il certain time they are TO stimuli

| The intention is TO fire three cities simuIta-
