Lord Cavemdlsh, the New Irf9Il
Secretary, shot Dead Near LON,
don.
DUBLIN, May 6-Lord Frederick
Cavcndish and Under Secretary
Burke were shot this evening in
Phoenix Park.
DETAILS OF THE ASSASSINATION.
Lord Frederick Cayendish and
Earl Spencer had remained at Dub.
lin Castle, engaged in the transac-
ton OF. official business until :six
o'clock this evening, when each
drove to his respective residence.
After dinner Lord Cavendisht and
Mr.. Thomas Henry Burke, Under
Secretary for Ireland, went for a
walk in Phoenix Park. They we're
shot close to. the secretary's lodge.
No arrests have been made. ,s
LONDON. May GA late telegram
from Dublin says: 1t now appears
that Lord Cavendish and Burke
were stabbed and not shot. They
were both strolling in the park
about half a mile from the city gate
and about quarter of mile from
the chief secretary's lodge, when a
car drove up containing tour men,
two of whom jumped down from the
car and attacked Lord Cavendish
and Mr.. Burke, stabbing them both
several times in the throat and
breast.
The victims struggled hard for
life, and in the struggle became
separated, their bodies being found
some ten PAGES apart. The tragedy
ioccuWed about 10 minutes after I
ID the evening, and in broad day
light. The bodies were first discov-
cred by two young gentlemen who
were riding byciclcs through the
park, and who Immediately gave the
alarm to the police. Surgeons soon
reached the spot. but the police were
already conveying Mr.. Burke's body
away to town, where an examination
showed life to be extinct. The up
per part of the body was perforated
in shocking manner and presented
a CHASTITY sight. Proceeding further
the medical men reached the body
of Lord Cavendisf, which was being
conveyed away from the park on a
streJcher.
The body of the chief secretary
displayed the same dreadful wounds
in addition to which his left arm
was also broken and torn as if he
had put it up to protect his breast.
Lord Cavendish was quite dead.
The bodies were taken to Stevens
Hospital, where they will remain
until the inquest is held.
The locality of the outrage is ter
ribly marked with blood. The spot
where the body of Lord Cayendish
was found was absolutely deluged
with blood, while Mr.. Burke's body
lay in a pool of blood.
1t is said that after the act the
murderers Immediately drove off.
There seems to be no clue to the as
sassination at present, but the po-
lice are taking most extraordinary
measures to discover the perpetra-
tors. A large quantity of notes and
gold coin, besides their gold watch
es, were found in the pockets of the
victims, which showed that the OBJ
ject of the crime was not robbery.
Great excitement prevails in Dub
lin, and widespread Indignation is
expressed over the event. The tele-
graph offices are beseiged for later
news.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
of the arrival of the news in London
nothing OF the outrage is at yet
known here among the general pub
lie. At the London Club and 9th
er late WesG End resorts, the news
was received with feeling of stu
pefaction, followed by expressions
of the bitterest resentment. ..

Vaccination.

1t is greatly doubted whether vac
cination is protection against
smallpox. The statistics of the
London Metropolitan hospitals go
far to shew that it is not. Out of
1911 smallpox cases, from 1876
to 1880, no less than IL ,4l2 were of
persons who had been vaccinated.
But even this. is not conclusive
against the efficacy of vaccination.
1t is well-known that the human
system undergoes thorough change
every few years. Not q particle
that existed in the boby seven years
ago forms a component part of it
now. With such change it is abb
surd to expect that q single vaccina-
ton in early infancy can be perpe-
tually effectual throughout life. The
propriety of repeating it at various
periods of life is thus evident.
Though it may be we'll doubted
whether vaccination be an entire
preventive against smallpox, we
think it is clearly established that it
greatly modifes its effects. Those
who have been vaccinated are not
so much affected by smallpox as
those who have not. They are more
likely to recover, and are not SO
greatly marked in person by the
disease. This result alone is suffi-
cient to commend vaccination to
the prudent. Then the opinion of
the most eminent physicians is un-
animous in its favor. There is no
danger in getting vaccmated, and
there is more inconvenience than
pain, or trouble, connected with it.
That, however, is inconsiderable,
and should never prevent any one
from getting it done. The more
one is affected by the vaccination
the more he stood in need of it be-
ing done, and the worse he would
have been with smallpox had he
taken the disease without being vac
cinated. We would certainly say to
all-Get vaccinated. If it does nc
good, it will do no i'll, and carries
with it besides great relief to the
mind, which of itself is consider.

FIsTULA IN THE SHOULDER.

Fistula in the shoulder consists of a
swelling on the top of the shoulder or
withers. 1t may be caused by a blow,
a bruise, or a sprain. The swelling be-
comes an abSceSS, and the pus produced
burrows in several directions, making
cartilaginous channels or pipes for it.
self. To treat such case it is necessa-
ny to open the fstula freely, to cut it so
that the pipes are all brought into one
opening, then to destroy these by cor
rosive applications, as carbolic acid, or
even muriatic acid When the pipes
are destroyed the wound should be treat
ed as a common one, dressed with a
mixture of one part of pyrolignous acid,
two parts of water, and two parts Of
tincture of myrrh and aloes. The sup
puration should be washed out twice a
day with warm water and a little car
bolic acid !; the wound is then dressed
with the mixture, lint stepped in it is
put into the opening to keep it from
healing outside until the inside is heal
ed, and when this happens the openings
may be permitted to close up. If this
is done before the inside is healed the
part will swell and break out again.
