Dlnliolioal Plot.
National Ansocliitiil Pius * .
CHIOAOO , Juno 11 p. m. A
diabolical gunpowder plot intended to
work wholesale murder in the Chicago
Steve works was discovered last evening -
ing happily in lime to prevent serious
consequences. The plot was designed
particularly to kill two moulders
named L d1 Fluro and Sissons , who
were pouring molten iron into the
mould , when they discovered that the
mould had apparently boon tampered
with. They were just ready to raise
the ladle and iill this par
ticular mould when they do
cidpd to make a close examination.
This they did by scraping away the
sand from the inside of the mould.
This process revealed a paper bag
which contained ubout two pounds of
gunpowder. TJqs' hellish plot is bu-
liovod to have boon gotten up by a
number of malcontents who uro now
out on the strike. They desired par
ticularly to wreak vongounco on Ses
sions , who after joining the strike
which was inaugurated at the works
in February last , soon loft the strik
ers and resumed work. The effects of
the explosion would have boon frightful
iis a largo number of men wore stand
ing near waiting the opportunity to fill
their moulds , and the while hot iron
would have boon thrown in every di
rection. Session was assaulted near
his homo ono night two weeks ago ,
and it was thought at that tiiu that
the outrage was by strikers , but it
could not bo proved. The police this
morning took the matter in hand ami
are pushing an investigation vigor
ously.
