THE REPORTED SENSATIONAL ELOPEMENT. Our special correspondent at Dublin tele- graphs: The sensational report that a Dublin newspaper reporter had eloped J*0 ^America with a rich heiress,'? leaving "ehind him two wive3 and several children, is Pure fiction. This remarkable canard has been woven out of the following commonplace occur- rence. It appears that a clerk in a sporting news- Paper office was discovered by his wife to be cotirting a young lady in the country, and to avoid unpleasant consequences he at once threw up his situation and proceeded to America, not, however, before he had declared that his wife had been the victim of a sham marriage.

Irish Invincibles. THE, ATTEMPTED MURDER AT NEW YORK. l, Extraordinary Disci-osures. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM. J Our Cork correspondent telegraphs mat Kooert Short, who has been arrested in New York for attempted murder of Captain Phelan, belongs to Cork, where he carried on a. butcler s business in the coal quay meat market, and in April, 1883, .left for America. He is about 47 years of age, and was known to be a most quarrelsome fellow and was regarded as a terror in the district where he resided. Although he was not known to belong to Any secret society Short was undoubtedly a man of strong Nationalist feelin7. life always carried a revolver, which it is stated Le would draw at the least provocation, and when under the influence of drink was regarded as a desperate character. He was disfigured by having his nose broken in a tight some years ago. His wife followed Short to America., but has since returned, and is now stated to be in the workhouse. It transpires now that Short's house was searched about the time of Featherstone s arrest for the dynamite conspiracy in March, 1833, and soon afterwards left for America, and the police have no doubt it was owing to his connection with the dynamite conspiracy that he disappeared. Captain Phelan twice visited Cork about that period, as also did Kearney, and Phelan was instrumental in getting Kearney away from England at the time the latter was suspected of the Glasgow explosions. The manager of the National Line of Liverpool and the United States steamers, states that the first information they had of the alleged attempt to destroy their steamer Queen, a related by the man Kearney, was contained in this morning's papers. Sometimeagoinfernaiincichines were found in some cement barrels in the steamer British Queen, on arrival in Liverpool, and this, no doubt, is the vessel referred to. The National Company further affirm that no dynamite has ever been discovered on any of their steamers, and that Phelan's story with regard to the attmept to blow up the steamer Queen was pure invention. A care- ful watch with regard to suspicious passengers or cargo has always been kept both here and at the American ports with which the National Com- pany's steamers trade. Inspector Marsh deelines any information as to the alleged interview with Phelan. [" TI51ES TELEGRAM.1 A Philadelphia correspondent telegraphs — The attempted assassination of Phelan continues to attract great attention. The press universally denounces tha dynamitards, and recommends their extradition and arrest. Rossa, with his confreres, is suggested as having been accessory to the crime. Phelan is somewhat better, and to-day made a statement to the effect that the report of his interview with a representative of the Kansas City Journal is incorrect in some particulars. Phelan believes that he was lured to Rossa's office to be killed. Various Fenians say that Phelan was a traitor, that he was stabbed in a fight which resulted from his drawing a pistol to resent Short's calling him a traitor, and that the fight was unpremeditated. The Irishmen in Cincinnatti have started a movement intended to raise 100,000 dollars as a fund for the payment of the Irish members of Parliament, by annual subscriptions of 5 dollars. The fund is confined to the support of constitu- tional methods, as pursued by Mr Parnell.

PRINCE BISMARCK AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. This evening's Pall Mail Gazette finds no fault with Prince Bismarck's speech, but to speak of it as reassuring to the British Government is to talk nonsense. The first part recited the troubles new German settlements suffered from the intrigues of English neighbours and the supine- ness of the English Government, and the second is a plain intimation that if we did not mind he would support our adversaries. That, in plain English, is his speech, and it is very formidable.

Hidden Treasure at Castle I Coch Wood. I THE PIRACY OFTHE "FERRET." A Strange Narrative. "A tale founded on fact," is a very comnion addition to the title rages of works of fiction, and, no doubt, many incidents in the ordinary life ot an individual serve as a peg lound which ars an individual serve as a peg round which are woven a chain of events, more or less romantic in in character, according to the skill or imagination of the writer. Probably the incidents which fol- low might, with a little expansion, form the chief episode in a three-volume novel of the modern school. It is not, however, intended to give any ting-e of romance to this narrative, the facts connected with which have been long known to the writer, but they were given in confidence, and were consequently withheld until circumstances should arise which would render it no longer necessary that the confidence should be yressrved. The circumstances at one time were peculiar, still there was nothing very unusual in the fear that they should be divulged, as at t: at time the knowledge ot the incidents was confined to a few persons they were also surrounded with a good deal of mystery they were only revealed to the few after considerable caution and it was ap- prehended that possibly he who divulged the secret might, from the vindictive character of some of the Spanish people who were concerned in it, become a marked man and find himself in an awkward position. Whether there, is any vast treasure hidden in some quiet spot within the precints of the wood surrounding Castle Coch is not the province of the writer to prove, but io show that state- ments were made some time ago that such treasure was hidden there, that j there we e then many collateral circumstances to support those statements. and that lately other circumstancestend to show that there is a proba- bility that they are true. It was only sometime after the first incidents were made, known tiiat the property deposited there was admitted to have been stolen, and when that vvas revealed any- further dealings with the parties by whom the statements were made ceased at once. With the first part of the narrative hundreds of persons, whose business engagements connect them with the docks, are perfectly familiar, and require little to bring up all the details to their remembrance, but this part is only, by an acci- dental circumstance, connected with the main ssue. In October, 1850, an iron screw steamer, called the Ferret, entered the East Cardiff Dock. Her -tst Card the Ferret, entered the East Cardiff Dock. Her reputed owners were the Dingwall and Skye E-tilxvay Company, who had, it was said, chartered her to a gentleman in London, and he again sublet the contract to another. She was a steamer of considerable speed, and had been fitted up as a passenger vessel. Messrs Short and Dunn were the brokers, and she was soon loaded with a cargo of coal by Messrs Cory Brothers consigned to their agent at Marseilles. The captain was a gentleman who did not reside at one place during his stay at Cardiff, but for a part of the time lodged at the Cardiff Arms Hotel, or frequented it often. He spent money freely, and when the vessel left the docks, on the 23rd Oct., she had received on board an enormous quantity of provision, and the steward's cabin presented the appearance of a victualling apartment belong- ing to a gentleman's yacht, and not the cook's pantry for a cargo-carrying vessel. There vvas a profuse supply of wine, spirits, &c., and every- thing ivis of the best quality. There were certain things also about the vessel, which to the matter- of-fact people at the docks, excited their suspicion that all was not right, and when the pilot, who took the vessel down channel, returned and spoke of the good cheer and the jolly life all were leading on board that suspicion became strength- ened. At this time there was staying at the Cardiff Arms Hotel, a gentleman said to be a Spaniard. He became acquainted with the captain of the Ferret, and when she left ostensibly for Mar- seilles, ha sailed with her as a tnper-cargo. The Ferret never wept to Marseilles, but landed her super-cargo at a small jiort on the south coast of Spain. Then at a distance from land, she was repaintsd, her name altered two or three time", and the fcargo was consumed as bunker coal. Her seisure by those on board became known to the owners. She was chased from one place to another, but was eventually captured and claimed for the owners in Australia by the proper authorities, the captain and crew were tried before a proper tri- bunal and sentenced to long terms of imurisoi>- ment for an act of piracy. The circumstances connected with the chase and seizure of the Ferret gave rise to a good deal of interest at the docks. She was the subject of conversation for some months, but, like all simi- lar circumstances, she ceased in time to be re- membered. A long time afterwards a gentleman holding a distinguished position in the town, a borough magistrate, and also a man of considerable pro- party, received a letter, purporting to have been written by a prisoner in one of the carceras, or prisons, at Madrid, asking, in some vague kind of way, whether the gentleman would assist in the recovery of treasure of some considerable amount deposited in a secret place near Cardiff. The letter was show to the head constable, who regarded it, as a hoax. The stipendiary, to whom the letter also was shown, came to a different conclusion and eventually a reply was sent, which resulted in a correspondence being commenced, and main- tained almost entirely on one side, but in the course of which a somewhat singular narrative was developed. The writer of the letters was a prisoner, but as everything in Spain vvas to be purchased, oven in- dulgence to prisoners could be procured by means of bribery. The prisoner, after a time, admitted that he was at one time the private secretary of a Spanish nobleman who entrusted him with pro- perty to a considerable amount to bo conveyed to England. He came to London with it. but from the first he evidently intended to appropriate the property to his own use. He left London, went ;o Bristol, and stayed for some time Lt an hotel 'here. He then came to Cardiff and stayed for a still bnger period at the Cardiff Arms Hotel. During lis stay there his friends in Madrid informed him that his employer had discovered his duplicity, aid agents were sent to England to arrest him.' learing capture he deposited the valuable trea- stre with which he had been entrusted m a secret pace, not far from Cardiff, and then left in a steamer bound for Marseilles, but was landed on tie coast of Spain. He was discovered by the agents of the nobleman, arrested, and tried at Mtdrid for feloniously disposing of property en- tnsted to him by his master, and sentenced to a log term of imprisonment in one of the carceras ia Madrid. "o support this story official documents were endosed, bearing the seal of the court, and duly sig.ed by the proetor. These documents staed the nature of the crime coni- mited, which was that of misappro- prifting or stealing property entrusted to him, the nane of the owner of the property, the person chaged, which was the same as the writer of the lettr, and the sentence passed upon him. The I writer was anxious for an interview from the genteman at Cardiff, to whom he sent the letter, at tb Carcera, Madrid, when all details would be givei. Inthe later letters it was made known that the treasure had been deposited in the wood surround- ing Qstle Coch. A plan of the castle and wood was sint. A line was drawn from the castle at a certah angle, and this, if continued for a certain distane, that distance to be given at the inter-, view, ,vould indicate the precise spot where the treasire was deposited. This plan was cut in two ina zigzag and herring-bone fashion the one half wis retained, and on the gentleman present- ing tie other half to the prisoners agent at Midrid, whose name and address were given, the gentleman would receive the nt-hpr b'df and lather information wnicii nvuid lea,; to the discove-y of the treasure. The letters were written partly in Spaia^h and English, but the details diowed that the. writer wa.< acquainted j with tht Cardiff Arms Hotel, and also the direc- tion to Castle Coch, Oastla Coch itself, and the wood sinvunding it. Several telegrams were sent., bv,: a.- no reply to them was received at Madrid, the cc-r^'c-poiiO once cased and the sub- ject gra< ually faded fixiu memo:-j-. The time for which the man was imprisoned has expired, and a few weeks ago, three gentlemen, speaking English very imperfectly, were seen in the wood, and were also observed attentively looking at the castle. In the summer time, when visitors are frequent, such a circumstance would not have excited any suspicion, but, during the winter months, visitors are scarce, and strangers arc almost certain to attract attention. They may have had no object but curiosity in view in examining the castle and traversing the wood in various directions, but it is possible there may be truth in the prisoner's statements, and that these men are in some way connected with it. That such a crime was committed that such a man was tried and sentenced, the official documents of the court prove, and these, with the plan and letters, remain in the custody of gentleman in Cardiff, oo whom they were sent.

THE CASE OF WOUNDING A VVOMAN AT NEWPORT. A Lucky Escape. At Newport Borough Police-court to-day,-be-. fore the Mayor (Col. Lyne) and Mr T. P.

Mr Cooke said it was a fortunate thing the knife was not sharper, if it had been the pri- soner would have been there on a different charge altogether. The wound was tour inches long, but it was not deep. That was more by luck than good manögement. Prosecutrix did not wish to press the charge, and said she. aggravated him to that extent that I:e did not know what he was doing. The Mayor told prisoner that he misrht have filled prosecutrix, and that he had no business to strike a woman vvith a knife in his hand.—Fined 40s, or a month's imprisonment.

At the Cardiff police-court to-day, Elias May (22) vvas charged vvith unlawiully shooting and wounding James Berry with a revolver in West Church-street, on the inst. —Mr Belcher appeared for the prisoner.—Com- plainant said that he was a labourer, 1iving at 14, Durfryn-street. At a quarter to ten o'clock on Saturday night he was at the corner of Peel- street. There were some boys in the street carrying an erf.gy of prisoners mother, and a crowd of about 100 people had assembled to look at them. He had nothing to do with the effigy, but stood among the crowd. The boys marched up and down ttie street, when a shot was fired. On hearing the report of the pistol he went to the spot from whence it came. The prisoner May was there with a revol- ver. Several of them asked him to give the revolver up, but he refused, and ran away. He went about 30 yards up South Church-street, towards the Caual Parade. The crowd followed, and prosecutor followed them. He was quite alone. Prisoner, when running away, threatened a man who went up cloèe to him, that if he followed he would take his life. Soon afterwards he heard three shots in succession. He did not see the prisoner, nor the revolver, but the shots came from the direction where prisoner was standing, about fifteen yards off. When cros-i examined, he said that he did not know that the prisuner's mother had given evidence at the police-court against one of his friends for assaulting the police. He went on a visit to a friend, and had no knowledge that the etiigy was that of the prisoner May, or in- tended to join in the "fun." The boys carried the effigy in front of, but on the opposite side of the street to,thehou.-e where the prisoner's mother lived. The people who formed the crowd did not carry sticks. P.C. Aplin said that about a quarter-past ten o'clock on Saturday night the prisoner gave himself into his custody, near Messrs North and Lavve's brewery.

He was charged at tiie police-station vvith shooting at Barry wirh a revolver. Prisoner then said "I did it in self-defence. They were after me with big sticks, and tried to set mv mother's house on fire." When cross-examined the witness said that the prisoner had frequently given assistance to the police, and had he believed in- curred the ill-feeling of the ruughs in the i neighbourhood. Dr. O'Donald said that he saw the prosecutor, James Barry, on Saturday night. He was suffering from a bullet wound on the outer side of the left arm, immediately below the elbow. He (witness) could not find the bullet. The bullet remained in it buried in the muscle, and the wound might or might not become a serious one. It was impossible to say in what direction the bullet went, but it must be there, and it might or might not cause serious consequences. P.C. Aplin was called, and said that the prisoner's brother-in-law gave him the revolver produced. It is a small toy with 3, barrel only about two inches long, and fitted with six cham- bers. Two had cartridges net fired, three car- tridges had been fired, and one was chamber empty. The brother-in-law vvas called, and said that the revolver belonged to his wife. The prisoner borrowed the revolver on Saturday night. When the revolver was returned on Sunday mornintr three chambers "had been emptied. When cross- examined, he said that the prisoner was set upon by a crowd, who threatened him. Prisoner told them to keep back, but the crowd pressed upon him, following him about a hundred yards. Prisoner retreated, and while retreating he (wit- ness) saw prisoner hold up his hand and then a report of a pistol fired off. Prisoner retreated into a boarding-house. Here the crowd attempted to break open tho door. Prisoner lodged at the house of his brother-in-law. Prisoner's sister, to whom the revolver belonged, loll said that the revolver was generally kept locked up in her house. How he came possessed of it she did not know.
