| PHOENIX PARK, DUBLIN-SCENE OF THE ASSASSINATION OF CAVENDISH AND BURKE.-This world-renowned tragedy-the first of its kind in Irish history-occurred in the afternoon of May 6, 1882, and was planned and executed by a secret society called the Invincibles, of which James Cary, who, with two others, subsequently turned informer, was the putative chief, although many believe him to have been a subordinate. The circumstances of the tragedy, in bried, were these: William E. Foster, nicknamed "Buckshot," Irish Secretary under Gladstone, undertook to crush the Irish Land League by coercive measures. |
