DULUTH, Mimi, March 27.-When the
men who have charge of the dynamite
house attached to Contractor FitZpat-
rick's Fourth street contract went to
the house this morning they discovered
a remarkable and alarming state of
things. The outside door had been
broken open and then shut, but i'll
such bungling manner that the fact
was discovered at once. Inside the
house an examination revealed several
sticks of dynamite buried in the ashes
in the stove. Three sticks were in the
Stovepipe and loose powder and dyna-
mite scattered about the building, the
intention apparently being to cause an
explosion of 200 pounds of dynamite
stored in the building. The police are
making every effort to trace the des-
perate attempt of the terrible crime
home to the perpetrators, but as yet with
out success. Contractor Fitzpatrick now
says he can explain two recent acct
dents at the Fourth street cut, and
tn inks that the recent discharge of
four men had something to do with it.
If a fire had been started in the stove
at the dynamite house to-day Duluth
would have been shaken from New Lon
don to Rice'S Point, and the damage re-
Sulting can hardly be conjectured.
