CHICAGO, May 2S.-Eyer since the night
OF the riots and the day following, when
a search of houses was commenced, the
police of the West North avenue station
ana the residents OF the district have
been finding bits of dynamite, gas pipe
cartridges and rifle cartridges in houses,
on piazzas aud under the sidewalks in
their Immediate vicinity. A little over a
week ago number OF dynamite cart
ridges wrapped in piece Of red oil cloth
were found under a sidewalk. Next a
boy on Quaid avenue found some rife
cartridges, and two days after this
another boy took to his mother for her in-
spection some fifty rounds he had picked
up on the prairie.
AN UNDERGROUND ARSENAL.
To-day some boys were playing ball ON
RObey street, near the old Chicago and
Pacific or Bloomingdale track, when the
ball went into the gutter under the side
walk. A boy had to crawl under, and
while looking for his ball found a piece OF
gas pipe anu reported more where that
came from. He told his father and the
police were notified. They searched and
found under the sidewalk on the east side
OF RObey street, and less than two feet
south OF the railroad track, that a small
hole had been scraped out. In this hole
we're 81 pieces OF Gas pipe one and one
quarter inches in diameter and one to Ia
inches long wrapped in a piece Of red
ollcloth.
THIRTY GAS PIPE ANNIHILATORs.
OF these 80 were loaded with dynamite,
being stopped at the end with round
blocks of wood. A fuse about inches inl
length was attached to each, and all were
ready for immediate use. Tue last piece
OF pipe was not loaded. but seemed tOi
have been very recently cut, as the oil was
still upon its end. In the hole was also
found two boxes of dynamite caps and
4-quart tin dinner pail containing large
quantity OF fuse-some water proof and
some cotton.
TAKEN TO THE STATION.
The explosive outfit was taken TO the
Chicago avenue station. The gas pipe
cartridges were exactly similar to those
captured by Capt. Setback in Louis
Iingg's house. It's believed the stuff
was placed under the sidewalk by some.
OF the anarchists who live in the neigh
borhood and who feared their houses might
be searched. IL is evident the one placing
it there desired TO use 1t again, from the
care with whicn it was wrapped up.
THE BRETHREN AT ST. LOUIS.
ST.. LOUIS. May 23.-Anarchists F.. II.
Bergemann, Martin Frank. Otto Fricke
and GOtlieb Jub0rossky, for whom war
rants were issued yesterday, were arrest
ed to-day aud jailed to await trial on
charge of having introduced and urged
the adoption, at an unlawful assemblage
OF resolutions endorsing the actions OF the
anarchists during the Haymarket riot in
Chicago. II had been stated previous to,
their arrest by the detective who was
working on the case, that tue men knew
more concerning the whereabouts OF the
noted Chicago agitatOr Parsons than
they cared TO reveal.
HEADING FOR CANADA.
This detective states ne knows posi-
lively that Parsons passed through a
small town in northern Kansas soon after
the riot, with the intention OF escaping 70
Canada, but was obliged TO change his
course on account of serious delay to
travel by washouts on the railroads, and
started for the South, passing through
this city on his way and conferring with,
his brethren while here. II this should
prove 10 be the truth OF the matter the ar
rests made here to-day are important and
tends to substautIate the statement tell
egraphed from Florida that Parsons had
been seen there, presumably on his way
TO Cuba.
