A good deal of excitement in New
York was caused yesterday at the ap-
praiser's store, corner of L6ight aud
West streets, by the discovery in cask
of wine large tin box filed with
dynamite cartridges. which were at
tached to wires aud gutta percha fuses.
The cask Was one of 2 cargo from the
stea mer Frisca. which was brought
with a number of others TO the ap-
praiser's store. 1t was invoiced thirty
!tres of wine. and Is supposed to be
f.om Hamburg. 1t was addressed to a
person in Huntington. Illinois, and is
thought to be a foehardy attempt of
some person to ship dynamite to this
port. Had an explosion occurred in
the appraiser store the consequence
would have teen very disastrous, as
fully four hundred people are employed
there, and the property i'll the place is
valued at S500.000.
