 PTTrsBURG, July 2S.-The police, to-day, have come into possession of facts leading them to believe that bombs are now be- ing made in this city. A merchant on Smithfield street reports to the police that within the past three days he has sold unusually large quantities of small glass tubes and other materials that are used in the construction of the usual Anarchist bomb.
 The merchants customers have been mostly foreigners of repulsive appearance and, he says, Russian Jews, having every appearance of Anarchists.
 A remarkable escape from almost cer- tain death on the part of the IA work men in the forge department of the Car negie 29th street mill has just been made public, while the perpetrator of the fiend- ish act is yet unknown.
 An attempt was made Monday even ing to blow up the boiler and engine de- partments of the lower Union mills at 29th street. The engineer in charge of the machinery had left his post but few minutes. The water man, whose duty it is to keep guard of the gates, fires and water, left his position to breathe the fresh air on the outside of the building.
 When he left his post the gas was burn ing under the boilers. When the water man returned he noticed that there was no fire under the boilers He threw a piece of lighted waste into one of the grates. A slight explosion occurred.
 The quick return of the water man doubtless saved many lives. Five minutes delay on his part would have permitted an accumulation of gas sufficient to blow the building to atoms and the workmen to eternity. Supt. Dillon was seen this morn ing and confirms the report.
 A sensation in the Private Iams case was brought out when members of the Randall Club announced that they would take steps to have Lieut.. Col. Streator expelled from the Randall Club.
 Call Finster of Troy Hill, and August Turnopk of Allegheny, two supposed An archists, were arrested by Detective Me Iighe yesterday afternoon. Shortly be- fore that hour the two men came to the Central police station and asked to see Bauer. Their actions were so suspicious that they were locked up. When searched nothing was found on them. The houses of both men will probably be searched The police think they are important ar rests.
 Unless one of the Anarchists now in the Central station can be induced to make a confession, it is very doubtful whether the police at this end can accom- plish much more in the direction of un- raveling the meshes of the conspiracy sur rOnD6iOo the attnck 1non tho lifa of Chairman Prick.
 The imprisoned men, contrary to the general habits or practices of the element, have for once taken the precaution to cover their tracks behind them, and thorough examination of the correspond ence found in the rooms of Knold and Bauer developes the fact that not scrap of it bears date within the past six weeks
 Yet it can be proven by the postoffice officials that the mail of both men during that period has been much larger than for some time before
 Detective Shore. who is chief of the corps in charge of the case, is satisfied that the anarchists had anticipated that a general search for damaging documents would follow the attempt upon Tricks life, and that consequently they took time by the forelock in putting all such crim- mating evidence out of the way.
 The list of Pittsburg millionaires and their residences, which was found among Bauer's papers, will, it is thought, prove an important piece of side evidence at the trial, as indicating that they have had some sinister designs in view, which were directed against persons whose names had been recorded. Among these names are those of Mir. Prick, Henry Phipps, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.,; B. F. Jones and H. w. Oliver, the big iron operators; E F. Vandergrift, the oil man, and two women whose wealth exceeds a million.
