WHO rs THE DYNAMTTEB
THE EXPLOSION AT sTEvENsoN's BREW
ERY.
NO SATISFACTORY CLEws TO THE sCouNDKEL
THE POLICE WORKING HARD TO
FINN HIM


FIND HIM
crowd Of curiosity-seclSers gathered about
the brewery of David Stevenson, Fortieth-st. and
Ienth-ave, yesterday, eager to view the effect OF
dynamite bomb thrown by some unknown per-
son against the foundation wall of the malt
house, evidently for the purpose Of wreckng that
building. Who the villain was who attempted
to blow up the malt-house is a mystery, the
only clew for the police TO work on, so far as
is known, being q silk umbrella cover, in which
IL is surmised the bomb had been wrapped The
miscreant was evidently unacqualnted with the
action OF dynamite, for IL his object was TO
wreck entirely the building, he would
have managed TO smuggle the ex-
plosiye inside the house instead of
placing 1t at the foot of the wall on the outside,
where its explosion created more damage to the
buildings opposite than to the malt-house
Ever since last October boycott has been
placed on Mr.. Stevenson's brewery by the Ale
and Porter Brewery Employees Protective Associa-
ton, and various threats have been made by the
officers OF that association against Mr.. Stevenson,
the men feeling particularly bitter against him on
account of his making his brewery a non-union
one. Brooklyn paper published last November
the following interview with John 0'Connell,
president Of the Protective Association:
We have secured the service of lawyer to look
after our interests and there is power on earth
prevent US punsbng Stevenson for his action In de-
ng cur organization and organized labor generally
We viii drive him out of business. lie Il now boy
erng on tho verge OF pfecipce, into which he will
soon drop.
MIR. Stevenson believes it was some one con-
nected with the union now boxcotting him who
threw the bomb to get SQUARE," but the police
incline to the belief that il was an accident. In
spector Steers does not believe it was dynamite, as
he does not think the worlunen Of New-York have
got so low rs to resort to such means. Inspector
natural causes.
The damage 20 the brewery win not amount TO
mnch over s25. but to neighborng buildings it
will probably reach $4,000. mostly in broken
glass. Yesterday morning an army Of glaziers
on the spot looking for work, and they found
plenty Of it. though many of the tenants did their
own work with dinner knives and putty.
Wcrkmen were busy at the place Of the ex-
plosion in clearing away the debris, but the only
suspicious object found was woman's hustle.
Officials at Police Headquarters are interested
deeply in the search for the scoundrel who tried
to wreck the malt-house Mr.. Stevenson was at
the Central Office yesterday in consultation with
Superintendent Murray and Inspector Byrnes and
begun work on the case MIR. Byrnes and bis
men expect TO be able TO throw some light on the
mysterious explosion before many days Mr.
Stevenson was inclined to think that solution
of the mystery might he found in Brooklyn, where
the recent boycott against him WIS started lie
was able to tell the police where the boycottlng
circulars were printed, and some OF the men VINO
were active in distributing them are known.
