TERRORISM IN NEW YORK.

WIDESPREAD ANARCHIST PLOT

WEALTHY MEN MARKED FOR ASSASSINATION By Telegraph—Preea Aissooiation-Oo jyxteht Now York, March 3. A widespread anarchistic plot, having for its object the killing of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the two Rockefellers, Mr. Cornelius Vnnderbilfc, and other of the wealthiest men, has been nipped in the bud by the arrest of two men while they were in tlie act of projecting a lighted bomb towards the altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral. The blowing up of the Cathedral, they said, was to have been the signal for the inaugurating of a reign of terror comparable to the French revolution.' Gangs, with rilles and revolvers, were to appear simultaneously in various parts of the city, invade the financial district, and lay bombs under the biggest banks. General looting was to follow. ' , The plans became known to the detectives, who. worked for months among the anarchists. , . CABLE NEWS IN BRIEF
