MORE DYNAMITE USED.
FAILURE OF AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP

ENOUGH ON THE TRACKS TO CAUSE GREAT
DAMAGE. BUT THE CAPS WERE I'M
PROPERLY CONNECTED.
Dynamite was again resorted to yesterday
morning about 2 o'clock by some one who want
ed to make trouble for the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, but this time the plot entirely
miscarried and no damage was caused. The
Seventh-ave. car which left the Bridge about
ITO yesterday morning was in charge of George
Kiel. motorman, and Henry Voge. conductor.
There were two policemen on it. one OF them
being a Manhattan man. No. 1923 Between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth SITS the motorman
shut off his power preparatory to crossing the
interesting tracks at Fifteenth-st.. and was
approaching the crossing when two explosions
quickly following each other were heard be-
meath the car They did not amount TO much in
themselves. but they excited the attention of all
on board. and the police made investigation.
Forward the track near Fifteenth-st. was
found small package wrapped in yellowish
paper, with the stamp mo. =" on It, 1t was
turned over to Captain Druhan at the Ninth
ave- and Twentieth-st. car barns. who found
that II contained two sticks Of dynamite. six
inches long by an inch in diameter. number
Of laborers around the depot used to hand
ling dynamite said 1t common dynamite,
such as is used in blasting. 1t placed in a
bucket of water and became partly dissolved.
Then II was turned over to W. II. Stevens. in
charge of the Bureau of Combustibles, and he
declared 1t No. 2 dynamite, consisting Of 60 per
cent nitro glycerne and the remainder wood
pulp. The sticks weighed about three or four
onces apiece.
1t is believed that the explosions heard were
the illuminate caps which are used to explode
dynamite, but why the caps were so widely
separated from the dynamite is a mystery Or
dinariy the illuminate cap is showed down In
side the wrapping of the dynamite stick. and
fuse attached. The dynamite was in an un-
broken package Had ii been squarely on the
rails il is somewhat doubtful If II would have
been exploded. distinct shock is required to
set 1t off The pressure from the wheels to-
gether with the electricity as the wheels passed
IT might have been enough. Mr. Stevens
says to explode the dynamite. but there would
be nothing positive about it, There was enough
Of the dynamite to blow the car into the air
and cripple the people on it. The police are in
clned to think that the dynamiters were fright
ened away as they were preparing their charge,
or that they got the materials all together and
then their courage failed them, as they contem-
plated the possibility of injuring innocent people.
The police are investigating the case
Chief Devery. being somewhat alarmed over the
reports of the attempt to wreck the car with dyna
mite, last night sent a number OF mounted police
and several members of the bicycle squad to Brook
Ign to patrol the district where the bombs had
been found.

The performances OF the "Pied Piper

house yesterday afternoon and evening
went off with smoothness which was
delightful. and while the audience In
the afternoon was not as large as IL

a heap of fun.
At the evening performance IL was
decided 20 add TO the program In order
to lengthen IL little and the additions
made were very pleasing, as singing
and dancing solos form the changes.
Between the dances last night some OF
the children who appear at the after
noon performance were introduced. ana
OF course. little Thomas Coburn. the
rat. turned up when least expected. but
he appeared as a minute Pierot. The
children gave some pretty dances.
The performances are most delights
