NEW CASTLE, May 23.--Joseph Bulish, a
Pole, assaulted and attempted to murder q
Hungarian named John 10th, in Dobbins-
vile yesterday morning. Toth's injuries
are probably fatal, and his assailant is
under arrest
saturday night there occurred wedding
at the house of Joseph Banum, No. ia
Hungarian Row, and as usual on such
occasions, beer and whisky flowed freely,
and many of the guests present including
Bulish and 10th, drank to their hearts
content. Everything went merrily on
and there was not the least sign Of a dis
turbance during the evening. 1t is said,
however, that 10th, who is harmless sort
of fellow, was kidding" Bulish about
some trivial matter connected with the
wedding, but Bulsh seemed to take it all
in good part, and when he started for
home, shortly after midnight, he bore no
OF 10th.
The latter started on his homeward way
an hour later, but he had gone only a short
distance from the door when Bulish, who
was lying in ambush, attacked him, and
before 10th could recover himself he was
on ms back, being cut and slashed un-
mereifully By the murderous Pole. The
cries of the Hungarian for help aroused
all the residents of the locality, who were
on the scene in few minutes. Bulish,
instead OF fleeing, still held his victim
down and plunged a knife or some other
Ike instrument into Toth's abdomen be-
fore any attempt was made to check his
murdcrous work. The police station in
the meantime had been appraised of the
affair." and Officers Harrington, Tobin and
Morgan were soon on hand. Bulsh had
by this time made his escape, but he was
found with little difficulty, hiding in the
cellar of his home, few doors away. The
injured man, who had been horribly cut
and was bleeding profusely, was conveyed
TO his boarding place and Dr. Stewart sum
moned, who pronounced the wounds of a
very serious nature. Bulish was taken TO

few weeks, and is unable to speak word
OF English. II is said that he had never
spoken to 10th before the wedding.
The latter's injuries consist OF several
deep gashes in the stomach and breast
and cut in the muscle of the rightnrm,
which nearly sewers the limb from the
