The treasurer was instructed to borrow $350 to pay the premium award ed. The treasurer read statement show ing the floating indebtedness to be about $500 and a mortgage of $2. 300 on the property, making total of $2,900. Rad ical changes in the management were pro- posed and it is expected they will be adopted at an adjournment meeting Mon day, November 15. The society during its forty-five years of existence has been under the control of officers elected at each annual meeting by a vote of the membership, fee being $1 President Thomas A. Lake strongly advocated making the society joint stock concern He believed something must be done and done at once to make the fair more suc- cessful. Then followed 8 colloquy in which several members took part and the sentiment was freely expressed that some action should be taken immediately to prevent the downfall of the society. It Is now proposed to make the organization a joint stock concern, the stock to be dis tributed as widely as possible in the ad- joining towns. 0. D. Way of Hebron objected to first prize for town teams being awarded to the town of Charleston, Mass, his claim being that only part of the cattle belonged in that town, the balance being furnished by resident of the town of Stafford. He claimed that fraud had been practtced and the association should not encourage it. He suggested that first premium begiven to Coventry, which was awarded third money by the judges. After much discussion 1t was voted to withhold first premium until the secretary should be able to investigate the owner ship of the team.

Italians Row Over Cards ana Ono OF Them
May Die or His Wounds.

YoNKERs. June 2s.-There was a stabbing
ARRAY in Anthony Fishers saloon on Willow
street late on Sunday night, as a result Of which
George Farrar. an italian who lives on School
street. had to be sent to ST. Joseph's Hospital,
where he still Is in n critical condition. His as.
sailants were Angelo Bruno and Dominic Bruno,
his son. There are in the Italian colony a
Canopi faction and a Fisher faction. Farrar be-
longs to the Canopi faction. Upon his entrance
to the saloon he proposed a game Of cards with
the Brunos, and they played. Farrar won a
mall sum from Angelo Bruno. This enraged
the old man so that he called Farrar a "low-
down ghinny." Farrar slapped his face and
young Bruno jumped up and. drawing a
poniard. rushed at Farrar and plunged it into
his shoulder. The elder Bruno pulled out a
stfletto and thrust it into Farrar's body. Far
rar broke away and, bringing out a stiletto,
stood at bay. Bruno and his son again rushed
upon him. and every lunRe brought blood.
The fight was watched by a crowd OF loungers.
mostly Italians. who goadcd the fighters with
yells. The slashing was kept up until Farrar
fell to the floor and old Bruno sank into the
arms OF his son in a faint. DR.. Gibson, who
| was passing. was called In. and. after sending
for the police, he dressed the wounds. When
| the police arrived the three men were taken to
the hospital. Farrar had nine wounds. One
was a dangerous one across the abdomen and
another was near the jugular vein; The Brunos
had cuts about the body and head. Bruno and
his son were arraigned before Judge Kellogg to-
day. and held without bail to await the result
of Farrar's injuries.
