CAREY KILLED.

Vengeance for His Treachery Overtake the Irish Informer. An Irishman Shoots Him Down WUb on His Way to Fancied Safety. (Cable Dispatch from London.] A sensation was produced in'the House of Commons by an official announcement that James Carey, the fiish informer, jjad been shot and killed by a member of the Order of Avengers of the Irish society of Invincibles Carey had consented 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 place of his future residence. After Carey left Dublin he appeared to be lost However, it was understood that a fortnight ago he had become convinced that his whereabouts were known to the Invincibles, had appealed to the Government tor protection, and had been quartered in Newgate Jail for saf*ty. 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 tallowed by Irish avengers, and was in constant danger of as» assinatlon. The Government at this time undertook to smuggle Carey away with such seqrecy that none but those actually having 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, urx n the ground that it would be absolutely impossible for but two or three persons to ascertain anytinng about him, and that such stories as might happen to gain currency would undoubtedly turn out to be inventions to contuse the trail

- Nothing more was heard of Carey until the Parliamentary announcement was made that, from the official information given by the Government, it appears that the man who killed Carey is named O’Donnell The Government had often received private information concerning meditated attacks upon Carey, and had many suspected Invincibles under surveillance, but the officers have no knowledge about any person answering G’DonneU’s description. Oarey, it turns opt, was bound for Fort Elizabeth, Africa. He had regained a good deal of his foimer self-possession and spirit, and was pretty well convinced that his identity and destination were unknown. He was a passenger on the Melrose Castle, owned by Donald Currie. There is no reasqp to suppose that any one ab aid when the ship left London knew anything about Carey. When the vessel wasmdde fast to the dock at Port Elizabeth, in a rather jubilant manner the inform,er supervised the landing of his baggage, He then boarded the gang-plank and walked down to the wharf. The moment he stepped upon the wharf a man stepped up to him, placed a pistol close to his breast, over his heart, ana fired. Carey staggered and fell, but before he lost his footing his assailant fired another ball into his brain. The assassin was for a moment supposed to be u madman, but wheu he flourished his weapon and cried out, “That is James Carey, 4 his soul’ the officers of the Melrose Castle at once realized the situation, overpowered the speaker and placed him in chains. The murderer was soon identified as a stranger who had boarded the Melrose Castle at Cape Town, and booked himself for Natal No one knew his business, and .on board the Melrose Castle he had shown no interest in the*man he killed. He loitered about until Carey went ashore, and then walked after him and shot Kim dead upon the dock. The prisoner, O’Donnell, refuses to make any statement Investigation here shows that a man answering O’Donnell’e description booked from London to Cape Town aboard the ship Kinfauns Castle, another vessel of the Donald Currie Line, which left London several 'days before the Melrose Castle did. The Kinfauns Castle was advertised to make a connection at Cape Town with the Melrose Castle for Natal It puzzles the officials how O’Donnell ever learned that Carey was to leave for Cape Town by the Melrose Castle. He seems to have been so completely informed and so absolutely determined that he chose to go ahead and wait at Cape Town rather than risk the government s keen inspection of the persons who boarded the Melrose Castle at London. The ministry appear to be somewhat dazed at the completeness of the information possessed by the Invincibles, of which this assassination furnishes complete proof. Carey was traveling under the name of Power. His family were with him. Carey embarked at Dartmouth From Madeira he wrote a letter to the authorities, in described the voyage, and said he had shared in conversation in’which Invincibles and \he miscreant Carey were especially denounced. He said he intended to forget Ireland ever existed.

Excitement in Dublin.

A Dublin dispatch Bays: “The city is in a furore over tire news from Cape Town, and the people, who fill the streets, are madlyexultant, shouting and cheering and causing the police much trouble. The officials both here and at London seem stupefied with surprise at the extent of information possessed by the Invincibles, which was much greater than that possessed by the heads of departments here. They are amazed that anybody should have known Carey’s whereabouts, and they were much more inclined to believe he had gone to Canadtsor America than to Africa.” —« Carey's Record. James Carey, who was about 50 years of age, was a member of the Dublin Municipality and a man of wealth and prominence. Be .was a master-builder and did a large business in that line, besides having an interest in the largest dry-goods house in Dublin. He bore the character of being a shrewd, cautious, retEent man of temperate habits, though passionate when angered. Carey gave his testimony in the preliminary hearing in the Phoenix Park murder cases at Dublin on Feb, 17. His first appearance created a profound sensation. He deposed that he. joined the Fenian Brotherhood in 1662. He deposed that he was always Treasurer of the Fenian Brotherhood. The names of four persons had been submitted to the organization in London as capable of heading the organisation in Dublin. Among those names was his own. Walsh had sworn him in, each holding a knife in his hands. The oath bound Carey to obey all orders transmitted to him by the Irish Invincibles under the penalty of death.
