Opinion. A j3A95 12f ATIOX. Lord Frerfrrlck Cnveudih, Forste' Bsccessor asatl Under Secretary Burk, Stabbed t Death. A Dublin dispatch to tbe New York Herald, dated Sunday, May 6. says! i terrible tragedy occurred here to-night. Lord Frederick Cavendish, tbe new Chjef Secreretary, and Mr. Thomas Henry Burkertb Under Secretary, were assassinated in Phoenix Park. About 7:30 o'clock tbey left the Under Secretary's Lodge to witfi over to the Chief Secretary's residence to dinner. When within J.OO yards of the prhit-nix monument they wens attacked by four men wearing slouched bats. It is supposed that Mr. Burke wa.- tret assailed and Stabbed through tbe heart. Lord Frederick Cavendish attempted to defend him. but lie too was stabbed by the asins. They re pfcatedly plu-id their kr.ivt-j into tne breasts of thr-ir victims, and having cut their threats they got on a car and drove rapidly from the l'ark ty the Chapelizod gave. A few nsi nines afterward a man walking along the Park rond found the bodies covered wilh blond, and at once informed the po''TL'Phens Hospital. A slight examination yas made, and it was found that Lord Fredjr erick Cavendish's arm wm also broken. The n-ws rapidly s-pread and created the wuaesi excitement ana consternation in tue city. Lord Spencer and the Vice Regal party were just going down to dinner at the Lodere when the new was sent to them.
Vme me-nbers of the amily w.-"e at the ) era at the Gaiety Theater, and we.e sent Jlot. When tbe cause of the deiMtrture was known, tbe excitement was intense and a Jt proposal was made to stop the performance, which was ultimately cut short.
Lord irederick Cavendish only arrived in Dublin this afternoon, along with Earl Spei.cer, the new Lcrd Lieutenant. He was present at the installment ceremony in Dublin Castle, and left there with Mr. Burke. Ljarly in the evening, it is stated that some lads riding bicycles in the Park saw the attack and the murder, which was the work Of less than a minute. Many people were within a few hundred yards of the scene of the assassination, but no one appears to nave been near enough to interfere, and when the bodies were firt found. Lord "Frederick Cavendish's lips were moving, as if he were trying to speak, but he showed CO further signs of consciousness. It is r.eedless to adi that the assi nations are ttriöuted to the Fenians, although this .must be pure conjecture. The aasbins were seen entering the Park on a car and driving rapidly along tbe main read and from ail accounts they must have encountered their victims as tney were crossing the road. Robbery could not have been their object, ad nothing on the bodies was taken. The details of the tragedy are as follows: A boy named Jacob states that while birds nesting in the Park he saw about 200 yards from where he was, and
t, i to the road, a group cf men, as it w restyling. He thought they were roughs and did not pay attention to them. He then saw two men fall to the ground and four others J jump on a car and drive off toward tbe i "1 L . nK.n.l fr 1 . C 1". I I II In A ft! mMl An Hl .
vusuciiwu, nullit ilia iu a uuctuuu vppusite to the city. They drove at a rapid pace, and he could not give any description of tbe men. A gentleman named JLjguire and a friend, who were on tricycles shortly before, had passed Mr. Burke and Lord Frederick Cavendish when on their; way along the main road throughjthe Park, and on tti2ir return journey thev tjund the Chief Secretary lying in the center of the carriage-way and Mr. Burke prostrate upon the pathway. 'loth ceutlemau were Iving in large pools blood. They informed the police at the f'ark Gate Station of what they had seen, fhe police at once proceeded t the scene of the murder and conveyed the bodies to the hospital. On examination it was found that Sir. Bairke had received several stabs near the region of the bean and hij throat had been cut almost completely cross. His clothes were absolutely eaturated with blood, and the hemorrhages must have been tremend ous. His cloihea were ai-:o torn. His gloves had been torn in many iiaces and his hands bore marks stieg? tve of a herce encounter l his assailants. Lord Frederick did not ar cloves. He had ben stabbed in sevt.laces about the chest. One wound through the right lung and penetrated uecpjy. r i At the time of the dreadful occurrence the Park, as might be expected on a lovely evening, was crowded in many places with people. It s a remarkable fact and one euzsestin that tbe murderous onslaught must have been short, ternble and decisive. that many persons sitting and walking 'within a few hundred yards of where the bodies were found, heard nothing of the affair. . After tbe procession to-day the Chief Secretary had discharged his official duties in connection with the ceremony ol instal VJiou, and immediately returned on an outV e car to Phoenix Park gate. When walk jii toward the Vice Regal Lodge he met Mr. Burke, and both gentlemen proceeded Jo eether. No arrests have been made up to 2 o'clock this (.Sunday) morning. No one is allowed to go into the Hospital, which is guarded by a large force of police. All the available force cf constables is out searching for the assassins. There is a strong guard of mill tary at the Vice Regal Lodge. Farther Details of the Atrocious Killing of Lord CareodUh and Under Secretary Kork. L05D05, May 7. A correspondent at Dub lin telegraphs as follows: "A gentleman
informs me that about 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon he saw a country car f peculiar build driving through GraJten street. It contained four very suspicions looking felslouched bats pulled down in front, so as to some extent conceal their faces. "The victims of the tragedy arelaid out on beds in the Hospital, just as taey were brought in. 'The Hospital Surgeon states th3t he finfancied be felt a slight pulsation in Burke's body when he first ew it. Telegrams were immediately sent to all Police Stations in Ireland ami Great Britain giving information of the murder. "It has been asserted that Undersecretary Burke walked from the Castle to the Park gate, where he got on a car, and while driving through the Park overtook a gentlenan. Mr. Burke alighted from the car and accompanied the gentleman, who was undoubtedly Lord Frederick Cavendish, on foot. The carman returned to the city. Burke bad long been repi-ded with extreme c:sfaTor by the Nationalists of Ireland. "The police are on guard at the scene cf the murder in order to prevent interferencs with the inols of blood." The murder must have been quite visible from the windows of the Vice Kel liodgeItis raid Earl Spencer himself saw the fccu tile from his bed-room window, but the police are unable to vouch for tbe accuracy of the rumor. Earl Spencer, to whom I he news wa first broken by Colonel CaulfieM. was terribly shocked. It is stated he intends to resign immediately. Duklw. Mav 7. Orders have been issued that all boats from Ireland! be searched for the assassins. The face of Lord Frederick Cavendish as he lay dead in the Hospital is calm and peaceful. - Burke's countenance has the look of great ago'ay. Captain Koss, late Secretary of Mr. Forster, hae gone with a sne-rial report and as th reuresentative of Karl Spencer to London. Burke's siatcr has become qui tie hysterical and weak. The report that she and Mr. Burke' brother were missing had no foundation. It was reported that to-day Mr. Burke wa3 a victim whose assfsinaiion had been planned, and that Lord Frederick Cavendish was only killed because he was in Burke's company. TBI IK'CEST. The inqNest on the bodies of the- victims was opened to-dey. lwenty Jurors nad been summoned over night, anil all answered to their names except two. The Jury con sisted of irentlrmun. Mounted police occu pied the Hospital yard. There was a large 30vd of people outside. Mr. Whyte, the City Coroner, said he summoned the jury to meet. Sunday in. order that the renaains misrht be removed at once. He declared that language was inadequate to exprcs3 the horror and shame which all must feel. After the Jury had viewed the bodies, the COrouer stated the cause of dtath was quite apparent, but that he would adjourn the inquest till Monday for formal evidence. WILL SrPl'OUT GLADSTONE. A meeting of Conservatives was held Panday afternoon. Sir Stafford Northoute, Mar quis of Salisbury, and all prominent mem bers of the last Conservative Cabinet were present. I he meeting: jasted an nour. i-es-olutions wete passed -xpressing norror at the deed, sympathy with the Government and the willingness of the opposition to support the Government with their whole strength in copinc with the murderous state of IrHand. Sir Stafford Northcote said he doubted whetber the Govermtnent would proclaim martini law, but that -.f they did they might reckon ou the support of the Conservatives. HOSTILE MASrPZSTATIOSS. There have been hostile marjifestationin London against Ihivitt and several released suspects staying at the Westminster Pabxe Hotel. One Tespeotably dressed person hail been forcibly removed from tbe hotel. These manifestations are merely an index of public feeling. Nothing serious aas occurred. Conversation in public and in resorts generally is in favor of some kind of martial law. A meeting of the Irish Parliamentary party is convened for Monday. FALSE RCXOKS. It was rumored last evening that two- raen had been arrested in connection with the assassination, buj the report proved un founded. The. Duke of Devonshire, the father, and the Marquis of Hartington, the brother of Lord Frederick Cavendi.di, have started for Dublin. It is thought tossible the House of Commons will adj urn shortly after meeting lo-day, as a mark of symjatby. It was announced ollicially Sunday that there was not the slightest foundation for the report of the impending resignation cf Karl bpencer. CONDOLE5CE. London society, beginning with tbeQueen, who sent a telegram of condolence to the family of Lord Frederick Cavendish, has made a demonstration of sympathy as re markable as that which occurred on the death of President Garfield. Many columns of the morning papers are rilled with the names of those who called to express sym pathy with the relatives of Lord J? redenck The remains of Lord Frederick will be con veyed to England Tuesday, and interred at Chatsworth on ednesday. BCEKE FOREWARNED. DcBtiir, May 7. Maguire, one of the men who discovered the remains, says that only nine or ten minntes elapsed between his meeting Cavendish and Burke alive and well and finding their corpses. It is believed that Burke was aware that his movements were dogged. He had frequently been ad vised to have an escort, but always refused. Karl? this morning, in order to allay ex meht, orders were sent from Dublin Castle to clear away the blood at the scene of the murder and the police guarding the spot were withdrawn. There will be an indignation meeting of citizens of Dublin Monday, the Mayor pre siding. A huee subscription as a reward for information leading to the discovery of the murderers is talked of. The Daiiy News reports that when Parnell heard of the murders he was at nrst in clined to resign his seat in Parliament and withdraw for tbe present from politics. The advice of influential friends, some not be longing to his own party, induced hiia to give aphis intention. ' The Isews in a leading article says: "The Government is not likely to be carried awav by passion or panic Gladstone is tried as no public man of our time was ever tried before, but be will know bow to meet the crisis." Parnell, JHkvitt,, Illlon and Sexton Con demi the A.sannlnatlon In Interview and Iasue a Manifesto to the People. LoxDoa, May 7. Parnell and Davitt have spoken upon the assassination. Parnell said "I am bornned more than l can express. ims is one ot tne most atrocious Crimea ever committed. Its effect must certainly be most damaging to the interests of tbe Irish people. I have always found Lord Frederick Cavendish a most amiable gentle man, painätakiss and' strictly corcietious in the lulhllment of his official do lies. I did not share the disappointment expressed in Liberal Irish circles regardic his appoint ment, as I anticipated that the principal
reforms1 of the present session, euch as tbe amendment to the land act, would be under Gladstone's personal sopervision, nd I believe administrative reforms would be somewhat postponed. I can not conceive that any section f the people of Ireland could have plotted deliberately against the Jife of Lord Frederick, and I at surprised that tbe Dublin police, who had been ab to protect Mr. Ferst, should apparently Jiot have taken an steps to watcb over his accessor during tie few hours f his officvl life in Ireland. There seemy to be an utr
happy destiny presiding over Irafond, whictol always comes at a moment Then there R seems some cnanr io- iuo coirivyy, i-j uestrov the hopes of her best frien h. I hons the people of Ireland will take Immediate and practical steps to- express the;Jr sympathy with Mr. Sladstens in his mo?5 painful position." Jruvitt taid: "No- language, 1 ?an pos sibly command can etpress the Lorrrr with which I regard the tiurders or my dpair at their consequences. When I heard of hem Saturday night 3? ronld not credit the new. I grieve to thiclt when the Gcrernnient had just run a risk in introducing a new policy; when every thirg seemed brht and hopetwl; when a if pect ed the out.e to cease, this terrible evc.it should dash our hopes. I W!.h to God I haul never left P;i-t-land. Tb? crime was without motive. P i not only the most fatal bbw that lias evr been struel at the Land League, but one cf the most di.-Histrous blows which has beea sustained by the National cat?e during th ilast century. Its occurrence at this particular juncture seems like a terrible destiny. My only hope is that the trjössins may be S a covereu a:vi puuiMiuu u iue inraervc, is wonderful how the out'e could occur within a few hundred yard of the Con stabulary Depot." lvllon, in an interview, saa he deeply deplored the sorrowful tiding. He fully concurred in the opinions on t.e outrage expressed bv Pameil and Davitt. cx ton said: 1 aiu bewiuiersa ana norrified. I regarded Lord Frederick Caven dish ii an amiable and pams-takiag gentle man. He was certainly considereö a capable administrator. The first ft ehng on the ap pointment of Lord Frederick was undoubt edly one of disappointment, but it began to be gradually understood Mr. Gladstone sent him to Irela-.d to have the advantage of sertice of one with whom he had long worked, hareby enabling him to afrply his vwn will more freely t the Irish diiliculties. There is no reason to believe there was the-slight est personal feeling against Lord Frederick a any political quarter or- Ireland, can not help surmising he must have been mistaken by the murderers for some one "else- Ifr. Burke had been connected with the Castle for many years. 'ublic feelirg from time to time identified him with many harsh measures, but xellnlormed irsons nave always held that Mr. lurke connned himself yigorously to his duties. He was rather averse than other wise to concerning himself with political matters. He was very little known to the Dublin populace. He was present and un recognized at the great political meeting in the Phu-nix Park lat sunttuer. He belon?ed to a land owning family. Many people have for a long time believed him to bi he real Governor of Ireland. The crime is more inexplicable when one considers the good temper of the crowd at rejoicing over the release ol the suspects. . Sexton remwked the new departuro of the Government has not yet shown its effects in local administration. lUsident and ptcial magistrates still continue to arrt ladies and orbers connected with the effort to shelter evicted tenants. The representa tions of the I ri:i members in the House of Commons had been fruiiles, so .far as cr.U; ntr the authorities to discourage police brutalities. Sexton pointed out particularly the tiring on the people at Ballica. It is perfectly notorious he said, if the authorties conti une to allow the txilice to exaserate the people, and then take advantage f their exasperation and snoot tüem down; t must be futile to expect any good results from the promises of leUhuive improve ment. Justin McCarthy, replying to an interview er, said be was in a state of eonsternatiou, and fully agreed the reswlt to be disastrous to the Irish cause, at least for spine time. Higgar deepi? deplored the tragedy and said it waall the more lamentable as Lord Frederick Cavendish wesone of the least ob noxious of the Liberal members. TUE MAXIFEtfTO. ' The followiag manifesto of the Land League was udopted this afternoon at a hurriedly summoned meeting at Westmins ter Pa;ace Hotel: To the People of Ireland: On the eve of what seemed a bright future for our country that evil destiny wfcich has apparent ly pursued nsrr cetiturles naa struck at our hopes another Mow which can not be exaggerated in its disastrous consiuueuces.. in trim hour of sorrowful gloom we venture to pive expresston to our pmlounaest sympathy with the people of Ireland in tbe calamity that has befallen our cause through this horrible deed, aad with those who determined at the last hour that a policy of conciliation should sup plant that o( terrorism and National distrust We earnestly hope that tbe attitude and action of the Irih people will show to the world that an assassination, such as baa startled us almost to the abandotitneut of hope of our country's future, is deeply and religiously abhorrent to their every feeling and insiinct. we appeal to you to snow by every measure of expression that amidst the universal leeiniK oi horror wmcn tne assassinatioa ha excited, no people feel so deep a detesta tion of its atrocity, or so deep a sympathy with those whose hearts must be seared by it. as the isation upon whose prosperity and reviving hoies it may entail eonsequencs more ruinous than those th&t have fallen to the lot of unhappy Ireland during tbe present generation. We feel that no act that hat ever beeu perpe traied in our country during the exciting strug gles of the nxM fifty years haa so stained the name of hospitable Inland as ttis cowardly aud unprovoked assassination of friendly Birans era, and that until the murderers ot Cavendish ana Barke are brought to Justice, that the stain will sully our country's untne. (Signed) CHARLES H. 1 A KU Eil. Jon BlLLOX. All Irish members heard from concur in this declaration. Orders for the immediate printine and pa?ting of the manifesto throughout Ireland have been given. Parnell -has tent telegrams to the Mayors of Dublin. Cork. Waterford and Limerick utfirestine thev immediately call meetings of their respective corporations to denounce the crime.

A BIO BLAZE. Court House at Pittsburg a Mass Rate One Person Killed. Pittsbitss, May 7. The most destructive i-ij-e that Las Uken place m this city since thf ! memorable riots of 1S occurred to-day. ,r e Court House, or rather the principle portion of it, is a mass of ruins. About half-pjs4 12 smoke-was seen issuing from tbe interior of, the- massive stone structure, r.nd npon invostigation it was found that the eat ire i&ide of tbe building was in ' flames. A genera) alarm was at once sounded, and ki a few minutes the departmeoü of Pittsburg and Allegheny City were at work,, but the nra had gained euch headway that tkeir eSorts were almost fruitless, and by 4 o'clock all that was left of the Court Hoase property was the atonewalls. Tte tire creased intense excitement, asd on axoount of the Jail being attached to tbe burain Lr iliüne, fears were entainedl that prisoners would escape. There was no ccasioa for alarm, however, as the Jail waa not in danger and a close guard was kept over the inmates, who were not aware that a fire was in progress so near them. As soon as the lire was discovered a number of officials and cbers forced their way into tbe burning build' eg and succeeded in saving nearly all of the records and law library. Svhile endeavoring to leave with the record ia the Jury Commissioners' office Harry McDermott, a grandson of Jury Coruniissoner Hogan, wa killed by falling glass. Several liremen narrowly escaped death by burning and a number were more or less inj ired by falling debris, but the accident to McDermott is believed to be the only one resulting la tally. Tbe building destroyed was of 6tone and originally cost about $200.000. Many thousands have since been expended on improvements. The insurance on the burned portion was $Ö0, 000 and was all in home Companies. The origin of the tire is at present unknown.
