and at once informed the police, who had the
bodies removed to the Stephens hospital A
slight examination was made and it was found
that Lord Frederick Cavendish's arm was also
broken. The news rapidly spread and created
the
WIDEST EXCITEMENT AND CONSERVATION
in the city. Lord Spencer and the vice regal
party were Just going down to dinner at the
lodge when the news was sent to them. Some
members Of the household wore
at the opera at tho Gayety theater and were
sent for. When the cause of their departure
was known the excitement was intense and
which was ultimately cut short Lord FEEDER
ick Cavendish only arrived this afternoon
lord lieutenant He was present
at the installation ceremony in Dublin Castle,
and left there with Mr. Burke, bis fellow vic
lads riding bicycles in the park saw
the attack and the murders, which
were the work of less than minute
Many people were within q few hundred yards
Of the scene Of the assassination, but no one
appears to have been near enough to interfere
When the bodies were first found -
LORD CAvEND1sHs LIPS WERE MOVING,
as if he were trying tospeak, but he showed no,
further signs Of consciousness. 1t is need
less to add that the assinations are at
tributed to the Fenians, although this
must be pure conjecture. The assassins
were seen entering the park on q car and
driving rapidly along the main road, and from
ali accounts they must have encountered their
victims as they we're crossing the road. Rob-
berry could not have been their object as nothing
on their bodies was touched. Tho details Of
the tragedy are as follows: A boy named ia
COB states that while bird nesting in the Park
he saw, about 200 yards from where he was,
and close up to the road, group of mon as il
wrestling Hethought they were roughs and did
not pay attention to them. He then saw two
men fall to the ground and four others jump
on a car and drive off towards Chapelizod,
which lies in direction opposite to the city.
They drove at rapid pace. and he could not
give any description Of the appearance of the
men. A gentleman named Mcguire, and a
friend who were on a bicycle shortly before
had passed Mr. Burke ana Lord Cavendish
when on their way along the main road thro ugh
the park, and on their return journey they
found the chief secretary lying in the center
of the carriage way, and Mr.. Burke PROSTATE
upon the pathway. Both gentlemen were
lying in
LARGE POOLS OF BLOOD.
They informed the police at the park
gate station Of what they had seen. The police
at once proceeded to the scene Of the murder
and conveyed tho bodies to the hospital. On
examination it was found that Mr.. Burke had
received several stabs near the region Of the
heart and his throat had been cut almost COM
pletely across. His clothes were absolutely
saturated with blood and the hemorrhage must
have been tremendous His clothes were also
torn. His gloves had been torn in many places
and his hands bore marks suggestive of
fierce encounter with his assaiant Lord
Cavendish did not wear gloves. He had been
stabbed in several places about the chest One
wound was through the right lung and pene-
trated deeply. At the time of the dreadful
occurrence the park, as might be expected,
on lovely evening, was crowded in many
places with people. 1t is a remarkable fact,
onsaug@t have been beer shor 0t terriSs
and decisive, that many persons
sitting and walking within few hundred
yards Of where the bodies were found heard
nothing of the affair." After the procession

and Immediately returned on an outside Car
to the Phoenix park gate When walking
toward the vice regal longe he met Mr.. Burke,
and both gentlemen proceeded together. No

you to show. by every manner Of expression, that
amidst the prevailing feeling Of horror which as
sassination has excited, no people feel 80 deep a

with those whose hearts must be scared by it, as the
nation upon whose prosperity and revivfne hopes
it may entail consequences more ruinous
than those that have fallen to the lot of unhappy
ireland during the present generation. We feel
that no act that has ever been perpetrated in our
country during the exciting struggles of the past
fifty years has so stained the name of hospitable
ireland this cowardly and unprovoked assassina-

derers of Cavendish and Burke are brought to
justice that stain will sully our country's name.
