A RECESS TAKEN.
Voorhees, decided to secure vote on
Perkins amendment, but as Wolcott
expressed a wish to submit some re
marks, he moved that the senate take a
recess until II O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing. The motion was agreed to.
THE END is NOT YET.
The beginning of voting upon the
amendments to the repeal bill, which
took place in the senate this afternoon,
does not necessarily bring the end any
nearer, because the voting began upon
the understanding that speech making
should be allowed to continue within
due limits.
Voorhees, says when the amendments
are disposed of and the bill reached he
probably will ask the senate to continue
in session until the bill is disposed OF,
even if the work should go into the
night.

Grasscutters In Famous Greenwood Gem
etery Do Bloody Battle With sickles.
There was vicious fight between two
laborers in Greenwood cemetery late
Saturday afternoon, and one of them.
John Redmond, 2S years old, of Twenty
first street near Fifth avenue, is laid up
in the Norwegian hospital suffering from
ugly wounds on the chest, shoulders and
face, and what the doctors think may be
a fracture of the skull 1t is question
of whether he can recover, and the hos
pital physicians were very much in doubt
about the case.
Michael Vester, 81 years old, is locked
up in the Fourth avenue police station,
charged with the assault. The men are
relatives and had been employed for some
time as laborers in the cemetery. Satur-
day afternoon they were engaged cut
ting grass on adjoining plots in the grave
yard when dispute arose between them.
The police say that the quarrel was about
some family matter, but the exact char
acter of the disagreement is unknown.
Both men were using sickles, and sudden
ly they assaulted each other with the
weapons.
The attack came first from Vester, it
is said, and he soon succeeded in render
ing his opponent hors de combat with
his weapon of peace. The cemetery po-
lice got wind of the dispute, and Cap
tain Lask, with Officer Bachrus, hurried
to the assistance of the wounded man.
Redmond was taken care of until the
arrival of the ambulance, and then he
was removed to the hospital. His as
sailant was arrested and taken around to
the Eighteenth precinct police station.
He was reticent concerning the cause of
the quarrel and said he was not respon-
eible for the ight.-Brooklyn Eagle.
