dynamite in New York.

NEW DIRK, Feb. 1.-The first crimi-
nsl use of dynamite in this city greatly
excited the people here to-day. An ex-
plosion took place at very late hour
last night. One or two morning papers
made second editions, giving the news.
The explosion was at Garry Bros, dry
goods store, on Grand and Allen streets.
and that section of the
city to-day was crowded with
people; The time of the explosion
Il number of persons were passing the
spot, but none OF them were Injured
To-day Capt. Alaire and squad OF off-
GERS have guarded the premises of
Garry Bros, an at Redley Bros. win
dows, whose establishment also was
SHATTERED by THE EXPLOSION,
shortly after the explosion four men
were found in the shadow of the
livingston street station of the elevated
railway. One of them, Charles Henry.
a laborer, who said he lived in VII,
llamsburg, was severely cut about the
head and face. The others, Will
liam Britton, waiter; James
DAILY, a clerk, and James Lamb, a
painter, were binding Henry's wounds.
All were arrested and romanded and to-
day lad was arrested, charged with ex
perimenting with dynamite, at Grand

was thrown to the floor; the glass In
tenement houses in tho neighborhood
ratified, and the iron stanchions of the
elevated railroad near the store look as
though they had received violent blows.
There is no evidence that cartridge
was, applied to Redley,s store. Had Il
not been for the heavy oievated railroad
structure which runs up allen street, be-
tween the two stores, the probability is
that a good part of the side OF Redley's
Duilulng would haye suffered. Many
of Redley's employees came TO the
building to guard the premises. The
damage to both buildings is $500.
THE OUTCOME OF STRIKE.
The police are satisfied that the ex-
plSsion is the outcome of q strike of
Garry Bros employees. Burke, former
clerk of the firm, and who caused the
strike, was dismissed for falling one
night to properly secure the doors OF
the establishment. The Drv Goods
Clerks union, of which he is member,
trird many methods to secure his
reinstatement. They went so far
as TO station men in the vicinity
OF the store and ask intend
ing purchasers to boycott the
firm. When the strike was ordered
by the union, the firm was left without
clerk. Non union men were subse-
qnently employed and have been
threatened IN various ways. Garry
Bros. have also received
THREATENING LETTERS.
Committees from several trades
unions called upon the firm, but Garry
BIOS. assured them that they intended
10 run their own business. Persecu-
lions OF the firm became 80 persistent
that steps iCr protection were taken,and
10 TINS end private meeting of
Dry goods dealers was recently
held. What action was taken
has not been divulged, bnt
IL is thought the organization of the
dealers made the union men more des-
perate and impelled them to use dvnn-
mite. The union, or Equality associa-
tion," was organized year ago when
lhe employees oi the Grand street houses
to induce the propri tors %
close NJ y O'Clock. Ridley a Sons were
among the houses that refused 20 close
aI that nour. For some time they were
prosecuted and last June huge stone
shattered one OF their plate-glass show
windows. The porpetrator was never
discovered.
WHAT GARRY SAID.
Thomas Garry, of Garry Bros.
said: "Of course, the EQUALITY
association is at the bottom
oil the outrage. What surprises
me Is that they have done nothing worse
Ihey have made threats of all kinds. but
we were inclined to look for their exc
cution upon our clerks, rather than
upon our promises"
