DYNAMITE FOR A COLLECTOR
Illinois Attorney Gets an Internal
Machine by Mail from Far
ties tnknOwn.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. A special to the Post
Dispatch from Paris, Ill. says: Thomas j.
Coffman, an attorney and collecting agent
residing at Hume, narrowly escaped being
blown TO atoms with an internal machine
received through the mail today The box
received was of wood with a sliding lid 1t
contained a pound stick of dynamite and
several match heads, which however, failed
to ignite and explode the charge when the
box was opened. Two thlcknesses of heavy
brown paper covered the box, which was
addressed to DR.. Sylvester Coffman, Hume,
ILL.,, brother Of the lawyer who opened his
mail The inner surface OF the box lid was
studded with tacks so arranged that they
would scratch the match heads, and there
was a slip Of sand paper fixed so II would be
drawn over them IL the tacks failed to do
their work, 1t Is thought the jolting OF the
box in the mail dlsarranged its mechanism.
An indistinot postmark seems to indicate
that tho box was mailed at Logansport, Ind.
The only other clue about the box is a
printed label pasted on the lid inscribed
