JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC CHCRCH YARD SCEXE OF SENSATION. Drunken Expressman Mistakes Ed; lfice for TTnlon Depot and Ieaves Package There. The neighborhood of ' St. Joseph's Catholic Church , at Fifteenth and Couch streets was thrown into a fever of excitement yesterday afternoon when a mysterious box was found at the foot of a stairway leading to a walk to a side door of the church. A series f reports came to the police station that an Infernal machine had been planted near the church door to blow up the sanctuary, while others were, of the opinion that a murder had been committed and the box contained the body. Patrolman Huston ws the first offi cer to respond to the alarm and ner vously stood guard over the box until Detectives Carpenter. Price and Graves, and Patrolmen Long, E. Adams, Stuart and Burke arrived. The box was locked and the lid was nailed and screwed down to make It doubly secure. The officers borrowed screw drivers, hatchets, hammers and. tools and cautiously went about open ing the box. A crowd of 100 uneasily elbowed close to the officers, who were Just as expectant ' and apprehensive over the contents of the box. When the lid was loosened It was carefully lifted and every one craned his neck to get a peep. A bed com forter was the first object and the mys tery was still underneath. Then an other comforter was pulled out while part of the crowd thought they could hear an alarm clock ticking away the time for an explosion, and the other part were of the: opinion that a muti lated body would surely be discovered. As the last comforter was pulled out the officers stepped back while the crowd pushed from the rear. At the bottom of the box was the model for a log boom. The box and Its contents were taken to the police station and last night Fred, the police station dog, comfortably quartered himself In it, un mindful of the excitement and appre hension it had caused. It was learned that the box had been dumped into the church stairway by a drunken express man who mistook the church for the Unioq Station. Suit for Torpedo Station Dropped. SEATTLE, Wash., May 6.
