FOUND DYNAMITE.
Probable Attempt to Blow Up Hart-
 ford Post office Addition.

Hartford, June 29.-Edgar L. Laub, superintendent of the new construction work going on at the postofice in this city, last night officially notified the United States treasury department of the finding of stick of dynamite at the base of the new building opposite America row in State street.
 Although MT Laub hardly believes that the stick was placed there with any criminal intent, he thought 1t best to have the matter investigated and ac- cordingiy notified the authorities and 1t is probable that secret service men will be sent to this city in day or two. It is the opinion of some that the dynamite, which was large enough to wreck a number of buildings, was careiessly dropped there by some work man. although no one can be found who would have occasion to use dyna- mite in any form
