A CHICAGO GUNPOWDER j PLOT. The Chicago Stove Works, located at the corner ] of Blue Island Avenue and Paulina-street, came ] very near being the scene of a tragedy recently j on a wholesale scale such as even the Molly c Maguires in their palmiest days never attempted, i The calamity was averted by the nearest chance. ) A moulder and his helper happened to notice i that the clamps upon a flask which they were s about to charge with molten iron were not £ fastened as they were when the flask was closed c Thursday night, and while attempting to re- c close them properly were prompted to examine the condition of the mould within the flask. First one i thing and then another excited their suspicion, ] and the final result of their investigation was the ] finding of about two pounds of gunpowder wrapped i up in a newspaper, the corners of which were pmned together, and which had been placed in a i holescoopedout for the purpose in the sand directly beneath the flat surface of the mould. Joseph La- ] fleur, or Platt as he is called by some, the moulder < m question, carried the parcel at once to the com- i pany's office, and called upon Sessions, the helper, ] and other workmen to verify the story which he told concerning the find. As the news became noised < about the workmen upon the premises became tumultuous, and it was with difficulty they were i prevented from sallying out to punish some union 1 moulders who were loafing about the premises, whom they blamed for the plot. Wiser counsels prevailed, however, and the matter was at once called to the attention of the police by the manager of the works, Mr Moore. Owing to the lateness of ] the hour it was impossible to do much, but Capt. O'Donnell has promised that attention will be given the matter bright and early this morning. The discovery that the flask had been tampered with was made just in the nick o' time." A few instants more and the molten iron would have been poured into it. The explosion that would have instantly taken place would have been terrible. From two to a dozen, and perhaps more, workmen would certainly have been killed out- right, and the chances are that not a man in the shop would have escaped uninjured.—New York Herald.
