WORK OF DYNAMITE FIENDS IN TORONTO.
Toronto, April 30. — A profound sensation has been caused here through the discovery of two powerful dynamite cartridges, with wire and fuse attached, under the Crown Land Office, in the Parliament Building. They were found by a son of the caretaker this afternoon. A thorough search disclosed two more cartridges under the steps approaching the Speaker's Chamber, these having also wire and fuse attached. The dynamite was placed in position to-day, as the cartridges cauldnot have failed to have been discovered had they been there before. The cartridges are about six inches long by an inch and a-half in diameter, and are labelled "/Etna Powder Company, Chicago." Two of the shells appeared to be newly oiled to keep out moisture. One of the cartridges would have been sufficient to blow up a wing of the building. The miscreants must have been disturbed, as an attachment was found a short distance from the cartridges.
