The DublAn assassination. a

New YORK, May l9-The Times says:
"What are We uoing in the Phoenix Park
cases? Why, we're doing better than those
who have filed the papers with balGerdash
for several days lately, D said Inspector Byrnes
yesterday. We are in an intelligent posi-
ton in regard to il, and don't mind telling
that we have what we call good end of il.
That is to say, we have been and are work

not going to announce what We are doing
or what we do; but when we have accom-
plished what is to be done the public will
know of il. and not before.
The Herald adds the following to Inspector
Byrnes' interview Wholesale arrests in
England and Ireland are a serious mistake,

Attempt at Wife Murder.

CLEVELAND, May 21.-After a married life
of thirty one years. Alfred W. Robinson,
aged fifty-four, and his wife, Sarah, aged
hfty-one separated last September, and the
wife procured divorce on the ground of
extreme cruelty. Robinson worked at his
trade as a carpenter for several months in
this city, then went away and found employ
ment on farm four miles from Pittsburg
until Friday, when he left for Cleveland,
arriving yesterday morning. He started at
once for his eldest sons home in Brooklyn
10 see his ex-wife, purchasing a twenty-five
caliber revolver on the way, and he found
Mrs Robinson alone at her sons house.
Being afraid of him she persuaded neigh
Dor lady to remain with her during the day.
The son was much surprised on returning
home to find his father. and after supper
made pretense of wishing his mother to
go to town to make some purchases, intend
ing 10 have her get away from his father.
The son and mother went to the barn to
hitch the horse in the buggy and the old
man followed, and, entering the stable, soon
drew his revolver and exclaiming Sarah"
fired twice at his former wife. The first bail
struck a corset steel, doing no harm. She
turned to run away and the second bullet
struck underneath the left shoulder blade.
The son then grabbed the father, and after a
desperate struggle took the revolver from
him.
Robinson was lodged in Jail here. He
SAYS he came back for a reconciliation and
bought the pistol TO kill himself if unsuc-
ceSs.ul: that Mrs. Robinson gave him en-
Fcouragement but the son treated him
coldly, and when be saw the small hope of
a reunited family he deliberately attem pied
to kill the woman, and would have shot
himself but for the sons interference. The
prisoner says bis own jealousy of his wife
was the cause of family trouble, which began
some years ago and steadily increased. She
liked society; he did not. She was the OBJ
jeet of attention wherever she went, which
annoyed him.

IMPRISONED AMERICANS.

Additional Correspondence Relating TO the

WAsHINGToN, May 22.-The correspond

Barrows and Wood, Consuls respectively at

Agent at Limerick, to visit the prisoners and
make known the offer. Two of them, Nc
Inery and Slattery, we're allowed three days
to consider whether they would accept or
not. The others, OMahoney and Nc
Sweeny, refused to be liberated on any terms
whatever. Whose advice or orders they
were acting under is a matter of very prob
able conjecture. Meanwhile it is nearly
certain that all the suspects, except those
charged with violence, will be very shortly
set at liberty, thus rendering nugatory the
most effective argument in favor of disorder
and resistance to law
1T seems that in the cases of most If not
all the American suspects in Ireland

two years, and in some cases it has greatly
exceeded it. In the case of Mccormick it
has apparently extended to thirteen years"

THE IRISH LEADER.

When the trouble commenced in 1866,
Mr.. Davist was one OF the first to respond
m America. He was not disheartened by
failures, bat kept on sgitating until he was
arrested iEs London and sentenced to fifteen
years imprisonment. He was released on a.
"tiekel-of-leave," after serving eleven
years.
He was the general organizer of the Land
League, and is credited with possession of
more brains than any other of the leaders.
He was arrested again in February, 1881, and
kept IN confinement until May, 1882. During
the summer of 1880 he lectured and organ
lied in America.
Mr.. Davitt is only thirty-seven years of
age, but his health is much impaired by his
stormy life and imprisonments. His ind0m-
liable will is unbroken, however, and he is
still a tower of strength to the Irish cause.
