FROST LAST NIGHT.
DID DAMAGE ON
LOW GROUND
Gardens and Farm Crops Sui
fered Severely
HIGHER LAND ESCAPED
In Many Places Corn, Potatoes and
Other Crops Were Frozen Down
to the Ground

The frost forecast sent out by the
weather bureau was verified Friday
night. While it is impossible today
to estimate the damage that has been
done to early crops and garden truck
il is probable that the loss will be
considerable.
AS early as IL o'clock last night,
the mercury registered as low as Az
degrees and there must have been a
considerable drop from that figure
during the night.
In the ColeviIle district the early
corn and potatoes on the garden
truck farm of Frank Rice were cut
down fiat by the almost freezing tenn
perature.
At the garden truck farm of George
+. Davis on the North Bennington
road, the frost was in evidence, but
it is not believed that much damage
was done. Mr. Davis had removed
the glass from his hotbeds some
weeks ago and believes that his to-
mato plants have become 80 harden,
ed to cool weather that they surviv-
ed the frost
The frost was severe at the Shr.
den truck farm of George Hummer at
Old Bennington and he believes that
his early crops were considerably
damaged. The melon plants are kill
ed and the early potatoes almost
ready to blossom, have probably been
injured.
The frost was all the more severe
for the reason that the surface OF the
ground has been cold for weeks. The
continued rains and evaporation have
kept the surface cool for days.
Harry j. Cole, who has planted an
extensive flower garden at his home
on North street this year, built coal
fire in his shop facing the garden and
left open the door He also kept two
large oil stoves in operation during
the night. None Of his plants were
touched by the frost
Edward Bushnelrs potatoes which
were eight inches high, were com
pletely killed by the frost
AS late as o'clock this morning
the roofs of buildings facing the west
in the low valley known as the
Flats" were white with frost.

FIRED THREE SHOTS
Would-Be Assassin Proved to Be Poor
Marksman

Budapest, Hungary, June S.-Count
Tieza, president of the lower house,
had a narrow escape from assassina-
ton in the diet this morning. He
was fired upon three times by Deputy
julius Kovacs, who then shot himself,
probably with fatal effect.
Count Tisza was unscathed. Kov-
acs was one of the most militant
members of the opposition and was
included in those who were elected
from the chamber Wednesday be
cause of disorderly conduct He was
suspended for several sittlngs, but
this morning when the chamber re
convened he managed to evade the
police and found his way into the
press gallery.
Soon after the proceedings opened
Kovacs moved to the front of the gal
lery shouting, There are still Oppo
sition members in the chamber,
drew a revolver and emptied three
chambers in the direction of the pre-
sldent. Then. seemingly chagrined
at his bad craftsmanship. he put tive
DulltlS llliO HIS OhH DOul.
The attack upon the count is "a
direct outcome of the agitation which
has been persisted in since his cleo
ton as speaker on May 22. Tisza is
an opponent of universal suffrage anC
on this issue his election was con
tested with a bitterness that culmin
ated in violence in the chamber ant
bloodshed in the streets. He succeed
ed L. Navay, who resigned becaus,
of party troubles. Free fights occur
red around the voting urn and finally
the whole opposition party left The
chamber and Tisza was elected by
the government party.
That same night the Socialist un
ion decided to proclaim a strike o.
all unionist workmen in Budapest ex
cept municipal employees During tn,
next two days there was much riotinl
and many persons were killed by sol
diers and police. The whole affair
took on a revolutionary character anC
the government was compelled t
compromise with the Socialists by
inducing the manufacturers involved

slons which appeased the popular
feeling
The men returned to work on MAY
% and the demonstrations shifted
from the streets to the diet. The op
position by noisy tactics prevented
the passage of legislation and tn,
deadlock was unbroken until las
Tuesday when President Tisza forced
through the governments defense
bills in the midst of a tumult. Mex
day when the proceedings we're agar
interrupted by noise making devices
the president summoned the polio,
who expelled thirty members of tn,
opposition.
Later these and other obstruction
lists were suspended for from fifteeI
to twenty-five sittings. Kovacs wal
one of those refused participation IL

NEW CAGE FOR CORNELL.
Root Of Glass to Cover New Covered
Diamond

Cornell university will have one of
the finest baseball buildings ever con
structed in this country next season.
Plans have been prepared by John v
Van Pelt of New York, and speciiica-
tions are already in the hands OF con
tractors for bids. AS soon as they
have been received work will be be-
gun at once, and il Is expected that
the candidates for the nine will be
able to begin work early in the spring
of 1913, and practice can 90 on no
matter what the weather may be
The plans call for a one-story building
about 80 feet high in the center, con
structed of brick, iron and steel, with
a roof entirely OF glass. The shell OF
the building will support truss beams
giving a clear playing space in the in
terror OF about 10000 square feet
which will provide sufficient room for
the infeld Screens will be arranged
so that the direct rays Of the sun will
not penetrate the roof, while at the
same time the effect will be that OF
an open field II will be built on the
alumni field between the football ind
baseball fields and near the new train
ing house now under construction.
This modern baseball cage is only
one OF the many features of the ath
letic field, which has been under con
struction for several years, and IL will
cost about $4,000. Already some
thing like $4,000 has been spent on
grading the field of so acres and when
the plans are completed the accommo
dations for college sport will be the
best in the country.
1t is expected that work on the low
er tier of the stadium will be begun
this year, and II will provide a seat
ing capacity OF about 5000 The com
plete structure, having seating capa
city OF 10000, will not be as large as
the Harvard stadium, but will be as
imposing a structure. II will be IN
the shape of fiat arc. running along
side the football field. with Kite hill
to the rear, and fine vista before it
having the entire field within eye
range OF all seats In the stand. The
structure completed will cost some
thing like $4,000. The athletic field
planned for Cornell is on a different
and broader scale than usual. The
whole area of 80 acres is to be de
voted to use by the general student
body. and designed to fulfill Their
needs iu connection with various
sports. Eventually It is purposed L
provide a clubhouse for the alumni
on top of Kite hill.
