WINDSOR, Ont. June 21.-The town is now in a ferment of terror over what appears to be an attempt at while sale dynamiting which developed with the partial destruction of the overall factory of the Peabody Company, Linn ited early today The company had just completed an order for one hun dred and fifteen thousand uniforms for the British army and it is believed that the plot to blow up the buildings was animated by the desire to destroy these clothes for the English troops.
 Shortly after the explosion in the overalls factory the popular fear was further increased by the discovery of twenty seven sticks of dynamite which were found in the rear of the Windsor armory in which are staying the men now being recruited for the Canadian company which will shortly leave for the battle front in France. The escape of the men of whom fully two hundred slept in the building last night, was due solely to the fact that the time fuse attached to the lynomite had burned itself out without igniting the powder The explosives were evidently placed in the two buildings some time during the early hours of the morn- ing and the fact that no one was kill ed can be attributed only to a miseal- culation on the part of the dynamiters,
