THE cAvENDIsH AND BURKE MURDERERs
 There is no longer auy GonDt that tue
 Crowns Counsel is on the track oi the
 murderers Of Lord CaveHdish and Cu-
 der Secretary Burke. James Carey one
 of the conspirs,ors mas turned States
 evidence. On Saturday, the 18th. he took the witness stand. The surprise among the prisoners was intense aud 1 great excitement arose in ile tcIr: room. The witness was Hissed b, the prisoners. Carey began by stating that he was a Fenian and joined fine brother hood in 1862, and disciosed many of the secrets Of that order i'Le association | gang was organized n consequence of orders from London by Walsh. the i Clerkenwell Fenian. KnIves, reyolveIs and Winchester rifles were sent over from Lond on. This was during tho Forster administration and ihe order was to assassiuate him. But no good op- ] portunity having presented, he escaped. He belived thar the funds for .he as- sassination society came from the Laad League. They were constantly posted concerning the movements of Under Secretaries ny telegrams ostensihly { about racing; that he drove with h.s children in cab to the first rendezvous ot the assassin; after he alighted there was a man to dr5ve them home. He tes- tided that 1t was Brady who took the place as principal and stabbed and afterward cut Burke's throat; that all the prisoners on trial, except enc, were murderers Of the ganiZation. ;s was also Frank Byrne, of London. He had himself suggested the Use of knives, and McCaferty directed them to wind cords around the handles to strengthen their grip. There were aboat thirty cl the Assassination society, and they received their orders from the mysterious No l. He stated tha- "No. I" was evil deutly a military man who gave money without limit, and had thousands Of pounds at his command. The corspira- tors believed that the money came from America, but Carey thought 1t came from the Land League. The witnes- minutely detailed the movements of the conspirators on the morning of the muI- der; pin could have been heard 10 drop when Carey detailed how he saw seven men meet the two gentlemen. Car ley, Joseph Manlin and Pagan were first, Brady and Kelly next. Mcyaifrey and Patrick Delaney came after. Lord Frederick Cavendish and Burke were al- lowed to pass through the frs; three and the last four then faced right about. | lie saw Joseph Brady raising his left hand. strike man dressed h a gray suit; that was all be ssw After the murder, m a conversation with Brady, he sad he stabbed Burke, and after ward settled Lord Cavendish; after that he went hack to Burke and put the knife into his throat: other gentlemen came up and called him ruff fan: he rau after them and settled them. Lord CaveudIsh struck Brady with an umbrella when at- tackled. Part of the murderers took car and the balance cab and returned to Dublin. It was the business of two of the gang to point out the victims who were to be murdered. Before courr ad- journed Carey identified all the prison- CTS. The London Times states that H. J. Sheridan and Thomas Brennan whom Carey ailadei to n his evidence on Sat urday, are now III America. Since Carey gave his evidence other witnesses who were in Pheuix park on the day The murders were committed. have come forward ani substantiated several in- portant statements made by Carey. The Freemans Journal SAYS: "The mystery of the Phanix park murders is only half unfolded. The prospect now Is that the mystery will be sounded to the bottom. No. l. if he exists will find his way to the gallows, which IS the prayer of every honest man." This Is certainly the most remarkable case of assassination that ever occurr,G. For a long tune not the least clue could be found While the authorities were al- most certain the murderers belonged to the remnant Of Feniaus it seemed im- possible for a time to gain the least clue Of the assassins. yet there were scores of people in the PhenIX park on the day and at the hour the murders were committed. This can be account ed for only in one way, and that is that the people were in sympathy with the murderers, as were many or the citizens of Missouri in sympathy with the James gang.
 4 telegraphic dispatch from Buffalo, New York. states that the mysterious No. referred to by Carey IS General James McAndras, of the army of the French Republic, O; French and Irish descent. who commanded an Irish ie- zion during the Franco-Prussiau war and that he visited that city several years ago, on which occasion the Freuch citizens of Buffalo called upon him and paid him especial bonors. A dispatch
 rom St Louis giTes further light as to thls mystic No. l'' man who las so sud denly become famous. + states that | General McApdras was 8 resident of that city twelve years ago. He married a wealthy Irish ladyin St. Louis, dauGh- terof Jchn Doyle, q large builder snd contractor. who has great property there. ] General McAudras was looked upon as an adventurer in St. Louis. The recent developments i'll this case has caused intense excitement throughout Great
 Britain, and lively interest in this country. It Is now reasonably certain
 that the villains will be brought to
 speedy justice.
