IRISH CRISIS.
A TRAIN'S ADVENTURE BOLD BID SECURES LIBERTY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 17, 12.50 a.m. London, July 16. Three men waving a red flag attempted to hold up an express train at the Adavzyle crossing, between Dublin and Belfast. The driver, suspecting an attafck, continued with all speed, and dashed through the gates, which were smashed to matchwood. The train was not damaged. It was subsequently discovered that over a hundred raiders were waiting in the vicinity. Masked and armed men ambushed a police patrol at Lanesborough, near Longford, and shot a constable dead. A companion lay behind the corpse, firing until his ammunition was exhausted, when he was compelled to surrender.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
