BOMBS FOUND ON CARS

Discs Filled with Fluid Picked Up by Illinois Central Car Cleaners. Marion, 111., Dec. 29.—The finding of three copper discs, sealed and filled with fluid, on Illinois Central passenger train No. 23, ai riving here from the north by way of Carbondale. has caused the starting of a rigid investigation. They are believed to be nitroglycerin bombs and were possibly left on the train by parties interested in the shopmen’s strike now going on. The contraptions, about four inches in diameter and almost an inch and a half thick, each will hold almost a fluid. They were found in different places on the floor of one of the coaches by car cleaners.
