no legal proof that any evidence Of a material

explosive in IL to cause considerable havoc was
found yesterday on the steps leading to the base
nent of a three story building at No. 2S3 Greene

in diameter.
How the dangerous looking piece OF ammunition

to the police and Alfred Mosher, of the firm of

who occupy the building. The projectile was found
by Mr. Mosher when he opened the store yesterday
at o'clock. Mr.. Mosher says that the firm has no
enemies that he knows of. except business rival,
whose name he refuses to give. This rival, Mr..
Mosber says about yea ago said, You people
will not be rich a year from to-day you are
now MF. Mosher, however, does not attach any
significance to the remark with the finding OF the
projectie.

a Illuminating cap. and said tt loaded with
