LONDON, May 12. The shooting of policemen at Lower Road (Cork) was executed with great daring. The men proceeding to night duty waited awhile on the pavement about eleven o'clock for a tram car, and the instant a car stopped a deadly volley was fired.

Garvey and Constable Harrington, who were boarding the car, dropped dead. A third constable was wounded, but managed to reach the barracks after being again wounded.

The volley caused panic amongst the passengers, and smashed the car windoivs. The conductor and one pa* senger had the narrowest escape from the bullets. The assailants fired at a lev.- feet distant, some ostensibly waiting for the car. DUBLIN, May 12.
