DEATH FROM ASSAULT.

DEAL II It nun ACOA JILL.
Helen S. Bishop, the seventeen-year-
old daughter of Rev. E. A. Bishop, su-
perintendent of the Ferris Industrial
School, four miles f.om Wilmington,
DEL, who was on Monday feloniously
assaulted and slashed with a knife, died
late yesterday afternoon as a result OF
her injuries. She never regained con-
sciousness af,er the assault. For this
reason George White, the negro, who is
charged with the crime, could not be
taken before her for identification. The
assault took place on a public road some
time Monday. About O'Clock in the
afternoon the girl was found crawling
along the road. Her throat was cut in
three places and she was otherwise ir-
iured. Soon after being found the girl
lapsed into unconsc, sc,ousness, from which
she never rallied for a moment. A
knife found at the scene of the assault
has been identified by Whites en-
ployers as belonging to the accused, but
White insists it does not. Miss
Bishop, who was an extremely
pretty girl, was pulpil at the Whining
ton High School. At o'clock Monday
the girl was excused from school and
started home by trolley. At Prices cor
ne, she left the car to walk half mile
to the Industrial School. 1t was at
lonely spot, near the Ferris School, that
she was assaulted. George Leech, of
Elsemere, was driving along the road
when he found the young woman. She
was crawling toward her home on her
hands and knees. Blood was streaming
from the wounds in her neck, her cloth
ing was torn to shreds and her body Wa 8
bruised. There was every evidence Of a
desperate struggle on the ground, where
her assailant had thrown her al.er the
assault. In her hand when Leech found
her, Miss Bishop clasped small pen
knife, which she had been unable to open
in the struggle with her assailant, but
had evidently tried hard to do so in order
to defend herself. Summoning help, Mr..
Leech took the girl to Ferris School,
where she became unconscious, having
been unable to tell anything about the
assault. White, the suspected assailant,
has served term in pl,son for an ofense
similar to the one now alleged against
him.

HUNGARIAN CABINET CRISIS. Pre-
mier De Sell announced yesterday in
the lower house of the Hungarian Diet
that he had rendered his resignation to
Emperor Francis Joseph on Sunday last
and that the Emperor had accepted it.
Reports that the cabinet intended resign
ing had been in circulation prior to the
assembling of Parliament, SO there was
considerable tension in the House when
it assembled. The entrance of the
premier was the signal for an outburst Of
cheers from his supporters, while the op-
position retorted with scoffing shouts Of
"What happy funeral p The Premier

CLEGG JURY READY
Young Citizen Of Luverne Is on
Trial for Embezzing From
( His Employers.
Accounts Of a Grocery Said to Have
Been Juggled to the Extent
of $4,000.
Special to The Journal.

Luverne. Minn., April 1.--After two
days of hard work a jury was secured
late yesterday afternoon in the trial OF
Chester Clegg, who was indicted by the
grand jury on the charge Of grand lar
ceny at Its session, two weeks ago. In
addition to- the regular jurors, four spec
ial venires were, necessary to secure the
twelve men to try the case. County At
torney E. H. Garfield appears for the
state, and A. j. Towne Of Worthington
for the defense.
Clegg was employed as clerk in the
Handy Grocery" a branch store con-
Quoted by Nelson Brothers. During the
regular annual invoice Of stock in the
latter part of January large shortage
was discovered. In the investigation
which followed it was discovered that in
addition to a shortage Of stock many ollls
had also been paid upon which no return
of cash had been made. This was traced
to Clegg and he was placed in the sweat
box. where after several hours, 1t Is al
legged. he admitted having appropriated
about 5000 of the firms money.
Pending further investigation no ac-
tion was taken and Clegg was allowed to
go free with the understanding that he
was to remain in the city. After an ex-
haustive investigation Nelson Brothers
found that the accounts of the grocery
were short about $4,000. A warrant was
then issued charging Clegg with embez-
zling $780,
In the meantime, however, he had
skipped. He was located at Billings
Mont, where he was arrested by Sheriff
J. E. Black and brought back to Lu-
verne, and at his preliminary hearing
bound over to the grand jury.

Special to The Journal.

Winnipeg, Man. April 1.--There is one
young farmer in Manitoba Who has reason
for thinking that a manual wheat crop
is sure thing compared to getting a wife.
He is James Mclaughlin, who came to
Manitoba with his parents several years
ago. Fortune smiled on the united efforts
of James and his father, especially during
the last two years. -...-
A year ago last winter the young man
returned to his old hame in Ontario to
spend a month, and while there met his
fate in the person of Catherine Mclean of
Woodville. She was winsome maiden,
with raven locks and liquid blue eyes,
cherry lips and a complexion all her own.
She rode horseback gracefully, and was
altogether charming.
MI. Mclaughlin only saw Miss Mclean
about twenty minutes, but that was suft1-
cient. He returned to- Manitoba, but the
young lady was ever in his thoughts. He
wrote her. letters which gradually
warmed into ardent odes of love, and
finally eliminated in proposal of marrl-
age which was accepted.
At this time the parents of the young
man were kept in the dark, and not until
they went themselves to Woodville to
spend a holiday did they learn that their
son was contemplating matrinony. When
they heard the news they cut short their
visit and fastened home to prepare a
proper welcome for the bride.
She had q large circle of friends IN
Victoria county, and among all these she
went bidding them goodbye and inviting
them to visit her far away Manitoba
home. To her more intimate friends she
confided that her intended had sent hel
| $10O to defray her expenses to winnipeg
where he would meet and marry her.
A few days ago she packed the portion
| that was coming to her and the presents
| that her many friends had showered or
her and shipped them to Mr.. Mclaughlin
Her parents accompanied her to the sta

for she was going away into a far coun
try
| 1t so happens that there is a wait o
two hours in Ovillia, between the trai'
from Woodville and the North Bay trail
on which all must travel who come t
Manitoba.
This wait of two hours was fatal t
young Mclaughlin, for during the tim
Miss Mclean spent in Ovillia she met a
old admirer and school companion. Sh
told him of her plans, and he in turn tol
her of his love for her. In these tW
hours Miss Mclean changed her min

man County Not Held.

ADA. MINN.-The special election or
dered by Governor Van SAINT for yesterday
in Norman county was not held. The re-
publicans secured from the district court
an order enjoining the auditor of the
county from preparing for the election
and until these proceedings are de-
termined there will be no election.
The election was ordered as the result
of a tie vote cast for county commission
er in the second district Of the county
last November. Louis Pfund. the In
cumbent of the office at the time Of the
election. and Andrew Hastie received the
same number of votes. Hastie started a
contest in the district court, but allowed
it to drop, the republican leaders urging
that it would be better to have special
election.
AS soon as the special election was
ordered by the governor, Pfund. who had
held over underline law and also been re-
elected chairman of the board took notice
of the contest brought by HASTE and went
to the courts, securing injunction proceed
