Vengeance for His Treachery Overtakes the Irish Informer. la Irishman Shoots Him Down White on His Way to Fancied Safety. [Cable Diapatoh from London.] 1 sensation was produoed In the Honse of Oommons by an official announcement that James Carey, the Irish informer, had been shot and killed by a menfber of the Order of Avengers of the Irish society of Invincible*. Carey had oonsented to lose his identity and the Government had stipulated that it would: secure his safe transportation to any part of the world selected by him as the piaoe of his future residence. After Carey left Dublin he appeared to be lost However, It. waa understood that a fortnight ago he had become convinced that his whereabouts were known to the Invincible* had appealed to the Government tor protection, and had been quartered in Newgace Jail for safety. The detectives, it is understood, had advised the Government that Carey was fast losing his reason, being haunted with the consciousness that he was closely followed by Irish, avenger* and was in constant danger of astaasin&tlon. The Government at this time undertook to smuggle Carey away with such secrecy that none out those actually having 1 the undertaking under their personal; charge should know what became of him, excluding even the most prominent Government officials People were cautioned against believing any future stories about the informer, upon the ground that it would, be absolutely impossible for but two or three persons to ascertain anything about him, and that suoh stories as might "happen, to gain currency would undoubtedly turn out to be Inventions to confuse the trail Nothing more was heard of Corey until the Parliamentary announcement was made that, from the official information given by the Government, it appears that tne man who killed Carey is named O’Donnell. The Government had often received private Information concerning meditated attack* upon Carey, and haa many suspected Invincibles under surveillance, but the officer® have no knowledge about any person, answering G’Donneirs description. Carey, it turns out, was bound for Port Elizabeth, Africa He had regained a good deal of hi* former self-possession and spirit, and was pretty well convinced that ms identity and. destination were unknown. He was a passenger on the Melrose Castle, owned by Donald Currie. There is no reason to suppose that any one ab ard when the ship left London knew anything about Carey. When the vessel was made fast to 'the dook at Port Elizabeth, In a rather jubilant manner the informer supervised the landing of hi* baggage He then boarded the gang-plank and walked down to the wharf. The moment he stepped upon the wharf a man. Btepped up to him, placed a pistol close to I his breast, over his heart, and fired Carey I staggered and fell, but before he lost hi*] footing his assailant tired another ball into 1 his brain. The assassin was for a moment I supposed to bo a madman, but when be I flourished his weapon and cried out, “That | is Jame 3 Carey, his soul,” | the officers of the Melrose Castle at | onoe realized the situation, over-1 powered the speaker and placed him I in chains. The murderer was soon Identl- I fled os a stranger who had boarded the Mel- I rose Castle at Cape Town, and booked him- I self for Natal No one knew his business, I and on board the Melrose Castle he had I shown no Interest in the man he killed. He I loitered about until Carey went asbore, and I then walked after him and shot him dead I upon the dock. I The prisoner, O'Donnell, refuses to make I any statement. Invejjbigafcion here shows! that a man answering O’DbnnelPs descrip-1 tion booked from London to Cape Town! aboard the ship Kinfauns Castle, another! vessel of the Donald Currie Line, which left I London several days before the Melrose I Castle did. lire Kinfauns Castle was adver-l tlsed to make a connection at Cape Town I with the Melrose Castle for NataL ft puzzles! the officials how O’Donnell ever learned that I Carey was to leave for Cape Town by! the Melrose Castle. He seems to have! been eo completely informed and sol absolutely determined that he chose! to go ahead and wait at Cape! Town rather than risk the govern-! ment's keen inspection of the persons who! boarded the Meirose Castle at London. The! ministry appear to be somewhat dazed at! the completeness of the information pos-l sessed by the Invincibles, of which thin assassination furnishes complete proof. a Carey was traveling under the name of! Power. His family were with him. Carey! embarkedsat Dartmouth. From Madeira he! wrote a letter to the authorities, in>which ha described the voyage, and said he had shored! in conversation in which Invincibles and the! miscreant Carey were especially denounced.!

They or! amazed that anybody should have know! Carey’s whereabout* and they were muctl more inclined to believe he had gone t! Canada or America than to Africa. ” M Carey’s 'Record. !
