Details Of the Assassination of Lord
LeltrIm-SketCh Of his Life

New YORK, April A.-A letter dated Dublin
April g. says the following are the details ol
the assassnaton. of the Earl of Leitrim
Lord Leitrim left his residence, Manor
Raughan, at Milford, shortly before o'clock
yesterday, accompanied by clerk named
Meekins, and was driving on the outside to
Derry to meet his solicitor DR.. Mckay, by
appointment
Ile always carried arms, and it is supposed
that the aSsassins concealed themselves on
the plantation, and that, having first shot his
lordshp, they shot the clerk and the driver of
the car, named Buchanan 50 that there might
be no witnesses against them. His lordship's
valet was driving about mile behind in q
tax cart, and on coming up found his master
and the clerk lying dead in the road
Lord Leitrim IS head was bruised from fall
ing off the car. Life was still in the driver
The assassins escaped in boat across Mulroy
Bay The valet drove back into Milford and
alarmed the police, who, on coming to the
place, found the driver still alive but uncon-
scious. He was removed to Milford, but died
shortly afterward.
agrarian. 1t was committed near q farm
from which widow named AlzOe a respec-
BILE Presbyterian, had recently been evicted
The relations Of his lordship and his tenants
were never OF friendly character, his lands
were let at very low rent, and the conse-
quence was that when he evicted tenants
he had to pay away large sums in compensa-
tion under the land act; in some instances
the amount exceeded the fee simple of the
holding.
He was kind and liberal to the poor, but
very particular and exacting in his dealings
with the tenantry, visiting with unsparing
severity the slightest infraction of the rules
Of the estate. He was not deferred by the
high prices which he had to pay therefor,
from exercising his legal rights Many eyic-
tions have occurred, and it is stated that
eighty more were in process Of being carried
out. Some of the lands from which tenants
had been elected were converted into pastures,
as no other tenants could be induced to take
them.
The Ribboned Society have strong hold
upon the county, owing, 1t is believed, in a
great measure to his Lordship's harshness
He had an iron will, which disregarded alike

day on his way TO Bucharest. He had an in

sea, the latter of whom was up from Pesth

The tidings M. Britannia brings from Berlin
are not very encouraging. The conviction
there is that the Gar Is bent OH having Bes-
sarabia back, and that he will take It, and
that the best thing the Roumanians can do
Is to make the best possible terms about the
compensation they are TO receive
According to the news from Bucharest the
popular mind In Roumania seems scarcely
prepared to accept such advice, whatever
may be the disposition of the minister's.
