CAREY’S FATE.

Further Particulars of the Killing of the Informer. A newspaper printed at Capetown, South Africa, gives some interesting details of tB» outward voyage of Carey in the Kinfauns Castle: “A fellow-passenger named Williams, and one of the stewards of the ship, teem both to have been struck with the re-em-blance of the man to the j ictures of Carey which they had seen in the illustrated papers, and the fact that his family was of the same number as Carey s, and that the eldest boy answered to the de crintion given of him at the time when he appeared as a witness in the Lublin trials, tended to confirm their suspicions Between Madeira and this port the steward and Williams made it their especial business to find out conclusively whether the man was the notorious character they believed him to be. had plenty of opportunities for doing this, as Carey and his wife freely indulged in liquor throughout the voyage, and the s cret was wormed out of the children without much difficulty, so that a few days before the arrival of the Kinfauns Castle in Table Bay all doubts were removed as to Mr. Power's identity. He had an unlimited supply of ready cash, and both his wife and children were treated to anything they might desire. He said he wa< a builder by trade, and was going to settle in Natal. One of the persons who was taken into the secret was O Donnell. When told that Power was none o:her than Carey, he dec3a - e.l that if he were but satisfied of the mania identitv, he would ‘d—d soon let daylight into his vile carcass,’ and the ship seems to have arrived here before his doubts on this point had been removed. While the Kinfauns Castle was in the dock, Carey came ashore with his two eldest boys, and while in town fell in with Williams and another man who came out in the ship, known as ‘Scottv.’ Among o her places ihey visited was the City Hotel in Wa erkant street, and while there an altercation arose among them on political questions. Carey said the English were a people too base to live. If he had his way, he said, he would exterminate every one of them. ‘lreland for the Jr sh! that’s" my mot’o,’ he said. ‘And what would they do with it'/’ retorted Scottv. ‘1 hey would eat one another up.’ ‘Do you mean to say that they are cannibals'?’ foaied Carey, and his h::-nd was on the throat of Scotty, whom he would have choked but for the intervention of Wiliam 0 . Saturday morning, when the Argu* appeared, it was known all over town that Car.-y had been* recognized, and the news soon spread over the ship. Williams was ash re about 10 o'clock nnd procured a paver. When he got back to the ship Power a«ked him if he oould let him see a copy of the ArquK. Williams said he could, and watched him while he read it He looked hutr edlv through the paper until he came to what he required, read that,and then sat for some minutes with his hand covering his face. He asked permission to take the paper to his wife, who was in the cabin, as there was something in it which he wi bed her to see. He returned it a few minutes afterward, paving that ft was to dark in tne cabin that he could not see to read. He subfeoue itly a ked for the loan of the paper a secund time, and is said to have worn a very terrified a pearanoe from the moment he k iew that his identitv was established. From what transpired in Cape Town O’Donnell seems to have been satisfied as to his man, and. in taking leave of Williams, who assured him that there could be no doubt bn the matter, he again vowed that he would ‘let dayligi.t ftito the scoundrel before they got to the next port’ ”
