radical error in the working machinery Of

At the Hands Of Two Brutal Ass.,.In, Dis.
Eulssd Ia WOnsA's Clothss-Aa Attempted
AnGilIaatlOn That does Not Reflect
Credit on the Land League.

LONDON, March lS.-Lady Florence
Dixie was attacked at Windsor yesterday
by two men disguised in women's clothes.
Her dress was cut with daggers in several
places, but she received no injury. Lady
Florence was walking in secluded spot
near tho woods, when a man asked what
time 1t was. She replied she had no
watch, and aiterward noticed, though
they wore women's clothes, their faces had
been shaved. Much alarmed she started
to walk away and was followed by the
men, one Of whom seized her. She strug-
eled to escape, but seeing their daggers, fell
in aswoon. This occurred at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. She did not recover her
senses until l:45. Lady Florence has been
prostrated today. The story OF the affair
was ELECTED from her only at intervals. ',
The saving Of her life is attributed to her
St. Bernard dog, which II is supposed pro-
tected her while she lay in swoon. Lady
Florence had no reason to fear immediate
danger, although she had been somewhat
fearful since the receipt OF the letters about
the Land League. The last thing she re-
members is one Of the men pushing a
quantity OF mud into her mouth. On her
recovery she found both palms cut across
and her gloves severed. There were two
dagger holes two inches apartin the right
breast OF her dress. A broad steel corset
rib was broken by the weapon which had
penetrated 10 the lining Of her dress, at the
first stroke, and TO her corset at the second
stroke. Lady Florence supposes she un-'
consciously struggled with the men, as.
sisted by her dog, until the, scoundrela
were disturbed by cart passing the
woods She received threatening letters
while in Ireland recently. One Of the
men wore green dress and large hat
with veil. The veiled man attempted
the assassination. No arrests have been
made. The police have a slight clue TO the
scoundrels. 1t is believed the men were
bitten in the struggle. ri; ~ i..H,- ,',.i
