query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950DE0D7133CE633A... suggests it was dynamite. Albert von Spreckelsen, a contractor who employed non-union labor, testified that on October 25, 1909, several buildings in Indianapolis associated with him suffered explosions. The public library was one of them. Another is shown at www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163453880/ which has more about the ironworkers' "dynamite campaign" in a comment.
