INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 12.-An
attempt was made to blow up the
Office of the Ironclad Age, an inhdel
paper, published at SIS Indiana avenue,
ia this city Saturday night by turning
on the gas. The expected explosion
was prevented, however, by the ar
rival of the editor Of the paper, who
discovered the condition OF affairs
and opened the doors and turned out
the gas. The paper is very bold i'm its
denunciation Of all forms of Christian
religion, and it is believed that the
attempt to blow it up was made
because Of the bold stand it has taken
in the matter.
