FOILED IN THEIR PLANS.
Violent Explosion I'm New Orleans
Paper Warehouse Caused by Bun.
CLING Burglars.

NEW ORLEANS. February 6.-An explo-
sion occurred at 11:15 o'clock last night In
the front portion of E. C. Palmer 81 Co.'s
paper and printing warehouse, at 93 and %
Camp street, blowing fragments OF the
windows entirely across the street, and set
ting fire to the building. The explosion
was apparently the work of inexperienced
burglars The safe and vault doors
were blown open by the concussion,
which was 80 great that 1t
completely wrecked three front windows
on the second floor, and opened all the
doors of the building, scattering the glass
and splintering the wood work. A number
of windows across the street were broken.
The place was at first thought to be on fire,
but no damage resulted from it. The alarm
created by the explosion probably pre-
vented the BURGLARS from getting ANYTHING.
