New York, Oct. 17.-Edward I. O'B. Croker, of Cork, Ireland, said to be a cousin of Richard Croker, is here for the purpose of promoting rapid transit between Europe and America. Mr. Croker is the general manager of the Cork, Bandon & South Coast Railway, and it is said to be the intention of the company to run a line of steamers from Narragansett Bay to Castletown Berehaven, Ireland. From Castletown there will be a railroad connection to Bantry, where the line will join the Cork, Bandon & South Coast Railway.
The new steamships are expected to cross from Narragansett Bay to Ireland in three and one-half days. In order to attain this great speed, it is alleged that a new style of machinery and fuel must be used, a fuel that will take up little space and furnish great heat, namely, oil.
