[Unitm) ,Pbbs» Association.] (Received 10 a.m.) -'■ . ''ftew; York/March 3. A widespread anarchist plot with the object of killing Carnegie, the two. Rockfellers, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and other of the wealthiest men, was nipped in the bud by the arrest of two men in the act of projecting a lighted bomb towards the altar of St. Patricks's cathedral.
The blowing up of the cathedral, it is said, would have been the signal for the inauguration of a reign of terror comparable to the French resolution. Gangs „with. rifles and revolvers, were to appear simultaneously in various parts of the city and invade the financial district, lay bombs under the biggest banks, and general looting, was to follow. The plans became known to a detective, who. worked for months among the anarchists.
