DUBLIN, May q, 1882.
Lord Frederick Charles Cevendish and
Under Secretary Burke we're shot dead
this evening in Phnnix park Lord
Caveudish was the second surviving son
of seventh duke Of Devonshire. He was
born at Compton Place, the Sussex seat
Of the Cavendish family, November 20,
1886. He was educated at Trinity Col
lege, Cambridge, and was private secre.
tary to Lord Granville from 1859 TO 1864,
when the latter was president of tho
council. In June, 1864, he was married
to Lucy Caroline, second daughter of
Lord Lttleton. He was liberal in pol
itics, and since 1865 had represented the
Forthwest Riding Of Yorkshire in Par.
Lament. Since the formation Of the
Gladstone ministry he had been financial
secretary to the treasury. All the sons
OF the duke Of Devonshire are members
of the British Parliament. The duke
has been in the House of Lords since
1884. His heir, the Marquis of Harting-
ton, has been in the House Of Commons
most Of tho time since 1857, and few
years ago he was the leader Of the liber.
ais during the temporary retirement Of
Mr.. Gladstone. Lord Edward Caven.
dish, third son of the duke, has been in
the Commons most Of the time aimee
1865. The duke Of Devonshire Is o man
of influence in the private councils of
his party, but his s.udious habits have
kept him from coming much before the
public. The Cavendishes have the repu.
tation Of being goo1. landlords, and they
have generally acted upon the principle
that property owners have duties as we'll
as rights. The family has nioTo than
once rendered valuable services 10 popu-
lar causes. The estates Of the duke of
Devonshire--193,00 600 aores-are in four.
teen counties.
LORD Cayendish's appointment as Chief
Secretary has given general dissatisfac-
ticn. Speaking of it 0 couple of days
ago, Mr.. Parnell said the appointment of
Lord Cavendish looked badly for the
success Of Mr. Gladstone's plans. He
was afraid he was too weak and vacil-
ating.
How the Assassination took Place.
Lord Frederick Cavendsh and Earl
Spencer had remained at Dublin castle,
engaged x. .he transaction of oFcia. hos
iness, until six o'clock this evening,
when each drove TO his respective resi-.
dence. After dinner Lord Frederick
Cavendish and Mr.. Thomas Henry
Burke, Under rSecretary for Ireland, went
for walk in Phoenix Park. They were
shot close to the Chief Secretary's lodge.
No arrests have been made.
II Is said that after the act the murder.
ers Immediately drove of, There seems
to be no clue to the assassination at pres.
ent, but the police are taking the most
extraordinary measures to discover the
perpetrators. A large quantity of notes
and gold coin, heaide their gold watches,
were found in the pockets OF the victims,
which showed that tho object of the
crime was not robbery.
Great excitement prevails throughout
Dublin, and widespread Indignation is
expressed over the event. The telegraph
Offices arc besieged for the latest news.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour of the
arrival Of the news in London, nothing
of the outrage is as yet known there
among the general public.
At the London clubs and other lato
West End resorts, the nows Of thu assas.
sination of Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Under-Secretary Burke was receiv-
ing with feeling of stupefaction, fol.
lowed by expressions of the bitterest re-
sentiment.
