 O'DosovAN RossA's love of the sensa- tional can hardly appre ciate the notoriety he has got from having been shot last Monday by female crank. The woman had sought interviews, pretending to be anxious to do something for the Irish cause. It was at the second meeting, and the parties were upon the street, the lady having suggested a more retired meeting place. When on Chamber-st., near Broad way, the woman turned and fired several shots from revolver at Rossa, only the first taking effect. Rossa fell, and the wo- man was arrested. She is described as a handsome young lady dressed in plaip clothes. She wore spectacles and had the appearance of an intellectual looking school teacher.
