LADY Dixie.

IVETHrR PARTICULARS or The ASSAULT
UPON HER.
4 London special says: Lady Florence
Dixie. who was attacked at Windsor on
saturday by two men disguised in women's
clothing, SAYS the men spoke with no
hrogue. She remembers seeing her 81.
Bernard dog drag one Of them backward.
The Irish members OF Parliament DIS
credit the whole story.
The murdcrOus assault produced great
sensation throughout England and Ireland.
The police and detectives are actively
searching for the asSassins in p"tticoats
but a. the Officials are reticent II Is not
known whether any clue - the villains has
been obtained. II is generally believed,
however. that the authorities have no
knowledge whatever OF the would-bc muir
derers.
Lady Florence Dixie is recovering SLOWLY
from her proS,ratloD. She has received
|. many letters and kilograms congratulating
&her Oh her escape. She is still at her resi-
4 nee, The Fisheries, and to-day received
Nv visitors. 1t is doubtful whether she
'S#'ld identify the scoundrels who attempt
ed her life, and ii seems probable the lady s
faithful dog made a strong Effort 10 proiec'
his mistress.
The affair is puzzllng every one. There
il no clue 10 the assistants. A gardener
who was putting geraniums thirty yard'
distant from The scene at the time OF thC
outrage says he neither saw nor heard any
thing Of the occurrence. Lady Florence
says she called 10 her husband for help
She states that she should be sorry 10 a'trf
butte the outrage TO the Land League.
WHAT FRESHMEN SAY.
A representative Of the Herald on Mon
sday interviewed number OF leading Irish
men in New York regarding the affair, ant
they all concurred In the opinion that Lad,
Dixie s. a crank, and that II the assault
took place at all it vas not made bv Irish
men. Even, they stated, were there an!
feeling against her, Der mothers synpath,
with IreIand would have prevented 1t iron
taking such shape.
