•JANENDISH AND IJOLRKE KILLED. DUELI.N, May 0.—Lord Frederick Cav•dish and I'nder Secretary Bourke were shot dead this evening in the Phoenix park.

SECOND ACCOUNT.

Lord Frederick Cavendish, the new secretary for Ireland, and Earl Spencer,

rliad

remained at Dublin castle engaged in the transaction of official business uutil o'clpok this evening, when each drove to his respective residence. After din*uer Lord Frederick and Mr. Thomas

Henry Bourke, under secretary, went for a walk in Phoenix park. They were shot -close to the chief secretary's lodge. No arrest* have been made.

STAIlltED, 'NOT SHOT.

It now appears Lord Frederick Caventiisli and Under Secretary Bourke were stabbed and not ihot^ They were both strolling in the park about half a mile from the city gHte ami a quarter of a mile from tie chief secretary's lodge, when a car drove up containing four men, two of wlioift jumped dowij from the car and attacked Lord Frederick Cavendish and Air. Bourke, stabbing them both several limes in the throat and breast.

Tho victims struggled hard for life and iu the struggle became separated, their bodies being found some tei\paces apart. The tragedy occurred About ten minutes after seven o'clock in the evening and

IN 11K0AD DAYLIGHT.

The bodies were first discoverd by two young gentlemen who were -riding biey•cles through the park, and who immediately gave the alarm to the police. Surgeons soon reached the spot, but the police were already conyeving Bourkes' body away to the town, where examination showed life was extinct. The upper part of the body was perforated in & •shocking manner, and presented a ghastly sight.

Proceeding further the medical men reached the bod}* of Lord Frederick Cavendish, which was being conveyed away from the park on a stretcher. The body of the chief secretary displayed the same •dreadful wounds, in addition to which his left arm was broken and torn, as if he had put it up to protect his breast. Lord Frederick Cavendish was quite dead. The bodies were taken to Stevens' hospital •where they will remain until the inquest is held.

THE LOCALITY OF THE OUTRAGE

Is terribly marked with blood. The spot where the body of Lord Frederick Cavendish was found was absolutely deluged, while Bourkc's body lay in a pool of blood.

It is said that after the act the murderers immediately drove off. There seems to be no clue to the assassins at present put the police are taking most extrordiaary measures to discover the perpetrators.

A large quantity of notes and gold coin besides their gold watches were found in the pockets ot the victims which showed tlie object of the crime was nol robbery.

Great excitement prevails throughout Dublin aud widespread indignation is expressed over the event.

SELECTED FOR ASSASSINATION. LONDON, May 8.—The Times says: It is now thought Cavendish and Burke were both deliberately selected for assassination. During the procession in Dublin Saturday a maa inquired three times whether Cavendish was in the procession. The

chief

secretary at last lifted his hat

and told his name. The man replied "Thank vou that will do." Two men

on horseback also watched the procession in a suspicious manner. THE WOUNDS.

There were eight gaping wounds in the Ixxly of Cavendish and eleven in that ot Bourke.

A special messenger left London for Dublin this morning. THE SIICCK TO EMPEROR WILLIAM.

THE DETECTIVES AT WORK, DUBLIX, May 8.—Detectives have a register of all the car drivers and are examining the drivers individually in order to ascertain their whereabouts on Saturday.

FOSTER'S OPINION.

LONDON, May 8.—Foster says he believes the murder was accomplished in order to show that it is impossible to conciliate the Fenians.

The Times fays Foster was a victim to intrigue worked from within the cabinet. The cowardly machination against him paralyzed the lorces of order. Gladstone must cut his cabinet loose from the mischievous advisors whose imbecility, malignity and presumption led to this result.

HAUL SPENCEIT.

The murder must have been visible from the windows of the Vice Regal Lodge. It is said Earl Spencer himself saw the scuttle from his bed room window, but the police were unable to vouch for the accuracy of the rumor. Earl Spencer, to whom the news was first broken bv ColoDel Caulfield, was terribly shocked. It is stated that he intends to resign immediately.

PARNEI.L'S FIRST IMPULSE.

LONDON May 8. -The Daily News reports that whed Parnell heard of the murders he was at first inclined to resign his seat in Parliment, and withdraw for the present from politics. The advice of influential friends, some not belonging to his own party, induced him to give up his intention.

TEMPORARY.

LONDON, May 8—Johnson, the Attor-ney-General for Ireland, temporarily takes the Chief Secretaryship.

DIGGAR.

The conservative papers reprint the speech of Biggar, M. P., to the Cork Farmers club in March, 1880, extolling the example of the Nihilist Hartman.

THE INQUEST.

TFTE srarECTs.

•the frish Times of Dublin says Earl Spencer had arranged on Saturday to release all the suspects cxcept eighty on Tuesday.

GLADSTONE.

A REWARD.

NEW VORK, May 8.—The British government will pass a large reward through the British Consul General in this city to any one in America furnishing a clew to the murderers of Cavendish and Bourke.

CHAMBERLAIN FOR SECRETARY. The Standard says it believes the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland will be offered to and accepted by Joseph Chamber lain, president of the Board of Trade.

IN LONDON.

STUPEFIED 11Y THE NEWS.

LONDON, May G.—The telegraph offices are besieged for the latest news. Owing to the lateness of the hour of the arrival of the news in London nothing of the outrage is as yet known here among the general public.

At the London clubs and other late west end resorts the news of the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Under Secretary Bourke was received with feelings of stupefaction, followed by expressions of the bitterest resentment.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

WHO LORD CAVENDISH WAS. Lord Frederick Charles Cavendish, who was appointed to succeed Forster as chief secretary tor Ireland last Thursday, was the second surviving son of the seventh duke of Devonshire. He was born at Compton place, the Sussex seat of the Cavendish family, November i!0, 1836. He wa3 educated at Trinity college, Cambridge, and was private secretary to Lord Granville from 1859 to 1864, when the latter was president of the council. In June, 1864, he was married to IiUcy Caroline, second daughter of Lord Lyttleton. He was a Liberal in politics, and since 1865 he has represented the Northwest riding of Yorkshire in parliament. Since the formation of the Gladstone ministry he has been financial secretary to the treasury. All the sons of the duke of Devonshire are members of the British parliament. The duke has been in the house ot lords nince 1834. His heir, the marquis of Hartington, has been in ilie house ot commons most of the time since 1857 and a few years ago he was tne leader of the Liberals during the temporary retirement of Mr. Gladstone. Lord Edward Cavendish, third son of the duke, has been in the commons most of the time since 1865. The duke of Devonshire is a man of influence in the private councils ot his party, but his studious habits have kept him from coming much befoie the public. The Caven dishes have the reputation of being good landlords, and they have generally acted upon the principle that property-owners have duties as well as rights. The family has more than once rendered valu able services to popular causes. The es­

tates of the duke of Devonshire—193,000 acrcs—are in fourteen counties.

GREAT EXCITEMENT.

OTTAWA, May G.—The assassination of Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary Bourke caused great excitement in the commons and lobbies.

JOHN BuYLE O'REILLY. MO POLITICAL SIGNIFCIANCE. BOSTON, May 6.—John Boyle O'Reilly was seen to-night, and at first expressed his utter disbelief in the authenticity of the report of the killing of Lord Ca'vendish and Under Secretary Bourka, but upon bein» assured of its truth, he said it was tbe act ot a Guiteau or a Mason, and that it had no political significance whatever. This outrageous assassination will, he said, be condemned by every true Irishmau. He said nothing would bring so great grief to every respectable Irishman throughout the entire world as the truth of such a rumor. Every friend of Ireland would repudiate ami detest any such deed.

HON. P. A. COLLINSWICKED A3D MONSTROUS.

BOSTON, May 6.—Hon. P. A. Collins, expresident of the LaDd League of America, says of the murder: It is wicked it is a monstrous ihiog to happen at this time. U»ti 1 it is known who are guilty of this terrible ciime it is as useless to speculate upon the effect as it was to speculate on the first news of Garfield's assassination when Guiteau was not known. If it should be discovered, as we all pray it will, that the assassins have n* connection with the Irish National party, it will of course have no effect beyond temporarily arresting the pnposed humane and remedial policy of the government.

The Leaguer's Condemr.ation BOSTON IRISHMEN. BOSTON, May 8.—The Irishmeu of this city will hold a meeting to-morrow evening at Fanueil Hall to express their detestation of the assassinations.

WESTCHESTER.

WESTCHESTER, PA., May 8.—The Michael Davitt Land League of this place passed resolutions expressing adhorrence at the assassination of Cavendish ami Burke and calling upon all true Leagurs to aid in bringing the murderers to justice.

THIS IIAS THE RIC.NT RING. John Boyle O'Rilly andPatrick A. Collins have.telegraphed Parnell authorizing a reward of $5,GOO on behalf of the Irishmen of Boston for the apprehension of the murderer of Caoendish and Burke.

Comment*.

THE NEW YORK HERALD.

The Herald says: The murder could not have happened at a more inauspicious moment for Ireland. She was en. joying a great victory she had obtained move at a stroke than she had expected to obtain in the course of years. Her leaders had been released Michael Davitt had been triumphantly escorted to London two unpopular ministers had been withdrawn at her demand Mr. Gladstone was waiting to grant her almost any reasonable concessions. The crisis has now come there can be no more temporizing no more dalliance. Coercion, violence, marshal lav/ will all be useless. What has to be done must be doae quickly, and must be wholly radical in its nature. Mr. Parnell may place himself at the head of the only movement winch can now close the wtr. Every sentiment of justice and patriotism calls on him to take the lead and show how Ireland can gain such of her ends as are reasonable without making a pact with assassination.

BOSTON HERALD.

BOSTON, May G.—The Herald in the morning will say: The news from Ireland is very sad, very terrible aBd of the extre mest moment. Tbe foul assassination will receive nothing but 'abhorrent condemnation from Davitt and Parnell, and we shall rejoice to hear' that the Irish leaders have given pratical expression to their indignation by proclaiming the ban of the league against the cowardly assassins.

THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. LONDON, May 8.—The Manchester Guardian says the crime is traceable to the Fenian party, recruited mainly from America, who again interfered when they saw conciliation probable. It says there is a desperate and malignant conspiracy, limited to a small number of persons.

TITE CORK HERALD. ST *R

CORK, May 8.—The Herald deprecated the idea of martial law in view of tbe tremendous manifestations of public feeling in Ireland, showing there is absolutely no sympathy for the assassins.

IN MOURNING.

DUBLIN, May 8.—The Freeman's Journal (Land League organ) appears in mourning.

COMMENTS OF FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, May 8—The National, in an article on the Dublin assassination, expresses sorrow and sympathy with Gladstone.

Gambetta'sorgan says: It will be difficult tor Gladstone to maintain a policy of conciliation toward a party resorting to the dagger and revolver as an argument.

Hie Legitimist and other paftv organs dwell upon the blow to the (Gladstone policy.

The Marseilliasa, while pitying the victims, says the situation of the Irish people forbids the expression of too much sympathy.

Dynamite Crowe Interviewed. PEORIA, III., May 8.—Patrick Crowe, notorious in connection with the scheme to blow up British ships and steamers by a dynamite machine, in an interview this morning says he does not believe ia as­

sassination as a motive to accomplish anything, yet thought it sometimes justifiable as a last resort. So far as England is concerned the assassin's knife has been her weapon for years, and in this instance she has only beien paid back in her own coin. He was of the opinion, however, that the attack was aimed at Burke and not at his superior. Burke was the undersecretary of the government at the time ot the Fenian troubles and made himself thereby obnoxious to the place. He was a most bitter and malignant enemy of the Irish race, and was detested as mucn by it as was Lord Castlereagh, a former secretary. He had been lost sight of in the recent troubles but he had been as bitterly dcnoanced by the Fenians as was Foster by the land leaguers. On account of this old sCore mainly and by Fenians he was convinced he had been hurled out of existeftfe, it becoming necessary tor the asSSM$AS also to kill Cavendish to protect themielv**. since the two were together. T!ff(( again an additional cause may exist in the events altering the release of Parnell aud his colleagues. When he was released it was distinctly understood that an effort would be made to crush out the secret societies which are the strength of Ireland. If Parnell entered into a compact with the government to withdraw his "no rent" manifesto, leaving the latter free to suppress the societies, of which there are two, tho Land League and Nationalists-, or Fenians. Among the latter, especially, they dissatisfaction of Burke's appointment would be greatly increased. These societies in no way affiliate and the Fenians believe that should the land league meet with success the tenant fanners would be separated from the par^ to the injury of the interests of the country. Mr. Crowe absolately refused to entertain the idea that the bloody work was done by the Land League or in its interest, fie believed that the event marked a new era for Ireland and that the eflects would be somewhat similar to those at the time ot the assassination of the Governor of India, which caused England to loosen the screw upon that country. Euglaud is afraid of assassination, and she would not be surprised if it woflld ultimately cause the Gladstone administration to be drive from power. England may growl. If a dog gets a good welt with a stick it howls but manages to keep out of the way of the stick thereafter. It augurs a good omen for Ireland, because now the officers of the government will find it advisable to adopt measures of safety and in riding through tie streets surrounded by guards they will virtually admit by the fact that they ar»not the actual rulers of Ireland. "Foster^ said Crowe, 'was allowed to ride through the country 'and the streets of Dublin unattended and no one had spunk |$nugh to kill him. But the assassins of ulsh^and Bark* hayg persons cf considerable nerve, since the place where the deed was committed in Phoenix park was within GOO yards of the police depot and in a locality where 200 or 300 police are constantly on duty." As for himself, the dynaiAite hero would like to kill several hundred of the government officers. He would like to see things in Ireland so that none of them would dare to stay there.

A Manifesto From the LeagueLONDON, May 7.—The following manifesto ot the Land League was "adopted this afternoon at a hurriedly summoned meeting at Westminster Paiaee Hotel: To the people of Irelaud: "On the eve of what seemed a bright future for our country, that evil destiny which has apparently pursued us for centuries has struck at our hopes another blow which cannot be exaggerated in its disastrous consequences. In this hour of sorrowful gloom we venture to give expression to our profoundest sympathy with the people of Ireland in tne calamity that has befallen our causc through this horrible deed, and with those wno determined, at the last hour, that a policy of conciliation should be supplanted by that of terrorism and national distrust. We earnestly hope that'the attitude and action of the Irish people will sho* to to the world that in assassination such as has startled up almost *o abandonment of bape of our count's future, is deeply and religiously abhorrent to their ev»ry fueling and instinct. We appeal to you to show by every meaouse ot expression that, amidst the universal feeling of horr«r which the assassination has excited, -o people leel so deep a detestation of its atrocity or so deep a sympathy with those whose hearts must be seared uy it, as tbe Nation upon whose prosperity and reviving hopes it mey vtfftil consequences more ruinous „ban the**" 'hat have fallen to the lot of u?il jppy Ireland during the present generation." Vv"fr f* 'fiat no act that has ever been {.efp-irSititfin our country during the PTC" ubg struggles of the past fifty wars has so stained the name of hospitable Ireland as this cowardly and unprovoked assassination of a friendly 6tr*nger, and that until the murderers of Cavendish and Bourke afe brought to justice, that stain will sully our country's name.

CHABLESS. PARNELL, JOHN DILLON, MICHAEL DAVITT.

All the Irish members heard from concur in this declaration. Orders for the immediate printing and posting of the manifesto throughout Ireland have been given. Parnell has sent telegrams to the mayors of Dublin, Cork, Waterford and Limerick, suggesting that they immediately call meetings ot their respective corporations to denounce the crime.

ACTION OF VARIOUS LEAGUES. The St. Louis, Philadelphia, Lawrence and Chicago Land Leagues and others throughout the country have denounced the assassination in strong terms. Our telegrams from all over the country, reporting proceedings of the Leagues, breathe the same spirit of abhorrence and detestation of the crime.

MEETING AT CORK.

CORK, May 8.—A meeting of citizens was held yesterday. The mayor presided.

What People Think. LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL. NEW YORK, May 8.—Lord Randolph Churchill, who is visiting this country, exonerates the Land League irom all blame.

HENRY WARD HKKCHER.

In his sermon last night on the murder in Ireland, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said it was a bloody murder, but the work was not that of the Irish people, nor even of an Irish party.

A J.ETTER FROM MISS PARNELL. Miss Anna Pnrnell, in her letter to the Times, says she doubts that the policy is conciliation when families In Claire whom Forster turned out are living in hovels and GOO people in one county alone are liable to death by cold, it being illegal to help them. She concludes by saying, "If there are any persons surprised that the assassin's arm is not idle, they must not forget there is such a thing as human nature among Irishmen."

CHAPTRR XVII.

"RIB1KS, RMKIULDS AND SArPHIRBS!"

1

The count did not press the question, and Valentine gladly talked of the all-im-portant presentation. The count evidently conuidered it a matter of great consequence that he should be introduced to the prime minister, nnd he duly recQff* nized by him as the Count de Mornasse. "You will, no doubt, meet many of your old friends and associates," said Valentine, carelessly. "I wonder if they will recognize you Have you changed very much in all these years?"

The count darted a rapid glance at Valentine's face but hers was perfectly frank in its expression.

MI

have altered very much several of »y former acquaintances met me in Paris, and they all declared that they should not have recognized me." ••Is it possible ?H Her voice was quite sympathetic. "You must have had much trouble in your exile ?H "Yes but that is over. We will think only of the future. My old friends in this neighborhood went into exile with me. Many of them are dead. I care nothing for society I always did lead rather a solitary Jit'e. If I care for change, I can interest myself in public affairs."' "Like the duke, I suppose." "Yes lie finds pleasure and occupation in a public service. It is better than to rifBt out in a private existence, surroundRfl.'hy luxuries. Besides, it wdUld wean my thougHTs fi^om t'B#pifit.^4

This allusion sent Valentine into a long reverie, and she found it a difficult thing to give, all her attention to the count and his affairs. Whatever reasons he might have for forgetting the post, she, on the contrary, loved to recall it. Adrienne and the chanoinesse filled it with happy memories.

For the remainder of that day, and the whole of the next one, nothing was thought of but tbe preparations for the reception.

Valentine became a mere lay figure, on which were hung garments in all stages of manufacture. The count took far more interest in her appearance than she did herself—vanity being, as yet, an undeveloped passion.

He discussed the arrangement of her hair suggested rouge and little black patches on the face, as he had noticed them on the most beautiful ladies of the court. Valentine, aided by rfenri de Calonne—who was present at this important counsel—decidedly rejected the rouge and patches. The count had to be content with her natural color, and Henri declared that no amount of patches could make her eyes any more brilliant.

On the all-important day—which waa as lovely as any one could wish for—Valentine rose, with a smile on her face, and joy in her heart.

The hours would fly until afternoon, and then she would see Adrienne. The hour appointed for the reception was two o'clock in the afternoon but it would continue for hours, probably until late in the evening.

For certain reasons, which the count did not explain, he told Valentine that ha would prefer arriving at the Hotel de ViOa as soon after two o'clock as possible. The duke would present him and Valentine to the prime minister, and Valentine could easily imagine that if it were done before the rooms were very full, tbe Duke de Choiseul would have an opportunity of exchanging a few words with her father.

She commenced her toilet very soon after breakfast, heV maid being in a state of delight that bordered on distraction. Valentine listened kindly to the bursts of admiration, and now and then glanced at her own reflection in the mirrors. She waa principally occupied with the idea that Adrienne was at that moment in the handa of her maid, and she began to long for & sight of Adrienne she wanted to see her fair face, and decide for herself what had been the effect of the count's denunciation of the convict.

She was dressed and was standing before the mirror, surprised and womiennjj at her own brilliant appearance, when the bell rang in the crimson parlor. This waa a summons from the count, who stsietljr observed the etiquette in vogu% and never entered his daughter's suit* of rooms.
