THE developments of the plot attempted
by Thomas, the dynamite fend, are o
the most shocking character. From the
testimony of his wife and the man who
made the machinery it appears that he haC
been engaged for years in plotting destruc
ton. His scheme was to ship boxes osten
sbly containing specie, and to obtain heavy
insurrances upon them. But the boxe
were really to contain quantity of dy
namite-a preparation of nitro-glycerine-
connected with clock-works which woulC
cause its explosion at the end of certain
number of days. Several efforts were mad
by Thomas to carry out this diabolica
scheme, by the success of which the steame
would be destroyed in mid-ocean and h
would claim his insurance, but in ever,
case they failed On the last occasion, a
the fatal box was being taken on the steam
er Mosel, at Bremerhaven, it exploded witt
terrible force as to cause the death of n
less than 12S persons and the destruction
of large rmount of property.

same progress. Now let US have some more
manufactures for the employment of our

ming ''in full blast in few days, and it will
soon be one Of the permanent institutions OF
our town. Stroudsburg possesses unexcelled
facilities for business Of this kind, and the
county an abundant supply ofthe very choicest
white oak and hickory timber and good water
power, There has been an immense amount
of this kind Of lumber cut for firewood and
railroad ties but enough remains to keep this
Factory running for some years to come
| These parties own one Of the best water pow
ers in the county, on which they have erected
neat substantial factory building which /:
| furnished with first class Turbine Water
Wheel of thirty horse power, and all thu
latest improved and best spoke finishin:
machinery it was possible to get. Mr.. JOhl
KIaer, the senior partner of the firm, ha
had many years experience in the spok
manufacturing business, aud under hi
management, with such facilities and natura
advantages at command they cannot fail t
do first class and successful business.
