A Dark Day for Poor ireland
New York u HefazPS cable
The details of the tragedy are as
follows: A boy named Jacob Suite,
while birdsnesting in the park, saw
about 200 yards from where he was,
and clese to the road, a group OF
men, as if wrestling. He thought
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 toward Chapilzed, which lies in
direction. opposite to. the city.
They drove at a rapid pace, and he
could not give any description of
the appearance of the men. A gen.
tleman named Mcguire and a friend,
who were on bicycles shortly be-
fore, had passed Mr.. Burke and
Friedrich CaYendish when on their
way along the main road through
the park, and on their return jour
ney they found the chief secretary
lying in the centre of the carriage
way, and Mr.. Burke PROSTATE upon
the pathway. Both the gentlemen
were living in large pools of blood.
They informed the police at the
park gate station of what they
hadseen. The police at once pro-
ceeded to the scene ef~the murder
and conveyed the bodies to the hos
pital. On examination it was found
that Burke had had 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
his hemOrreage must have been ire
mendous. His clothes were also
torn. His gloves had been torn in
many places, and his hands bore
marks suggestive of fierce en-
counter with his aSsailantS. Lord
Frederick 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 a lovely even
ing. was crowded in many places
with people. It is a remarkable
fact and one suggesting that the
murderOus onslaught must have
been short, terrible and excessive,
that many persons sitting and walk
ing within a few hundred yards of
where the bodies were found, heard
nothing Of the affair.
After the procession to-day, the
chief secretary had discharged his
official duties, in connection with
the ceremony of installation,
and Immediately returned on an
outside car to Phoenix Park gate.
Then walking toward the vice
begal lodge he met Mr.. Burke, and
both gentlemen proceeded to-
gether. -
No arrest had been made up to
? o'clock this Sunday morning. No
one is allowed to go into the hos
pital, which is guarded by a large
force Of police. All the available
force Of constables is out searching
for the assassins. There is a strong
guard of military at the vice rega-
lodge.
It is supposed that Burke wa:
assaulted and stabbed through thu
heart. Cavendish attempted to de
fend him, but he too was stabbed by
the assassins. They repeatedly
plunged their knives into the breasts
of their victims, and having Gu
their threats, they got Oh the ca

the ChapeliZed gate.
