DUEL WITH STRIKERS.
Running Battle Between Sheriff and Hungarians.
BRICKYARD STRIKE IS SERIOUS.
Men Who Took Strikers' Places Attacked While at Work and Driven Into the Hills—Other Places Shut Down Because of Threats of Violence.
KINGSTON, N. Y., June 26.—Today is regarded as the crucial point in the brickyard strike now in progress near this city. In some yards new men are to take the places of the strikers, but they will be well guarded by deputy sheriffs.
The most troublesome yard has been that of Brigham Bros. at East Kingston. No Americans are employed there, but only Italians and negroes. For two days many of them are said to have been drinking heavily. Two Hungarians from New York city, who claim to be the leaders, were arrested last night after an exciting chase of half a mile. They refused to give their names. Five shots were fired after them by Sheriff Hasbrouck, when they refused to halt. The officers gave chase, but the Hungarians were sprinters and only surrendered when cornered and after discharging 10 shots at their pursuers. They were brought to jail strongly guarded.
The Italian, Polish, Hungarian and negro laborers are excited over the arrests.
Yesterday was an exciting day at the yards. New men were secured and commenced work at 5 o'clock. The strikers stayed up until late and were not astir before 7 o'clock. Discovering other men working they roused their companions and at 8 o'clock they descended upon the Brigham yard armed with guns, cordwood and bricks, assaulted the workers and drove them into the hills. Heads were cracked and bones broken, but the injured were removed before their names were learned. Threats to burn the place resulted in the closing of the postoffice and stores.
The strikers then marched to the Hutton yard where the men learned of the intended attack and quit work. When the sheriff's posse arrived the crowd dispersed, but gathered again at the saloons. The other yards were shut down because of threatened violence. The strikers last night held mass-meetings, shooting off guns and starting bonfires.
A tragedy was narrowly averted by the officers yesterday afternoon. An American, discharged his revolver at the Italians, but his aim was poor and the officers hustled him away before the strikers reached the spot. Frank Jackson, colored, was hurt during the melee. If the condition does not improve the brick manufacturers will appeal to Governor Odell for national guard protection.
Machinists' Strike Affects Navy Building.
WASHINGTON, June 26.—A report just received at the navy department shows the serious effect of the machinists' strike on the work of building new warships. The report states that work is entirely suspended on the armored cruisers California and South Dakota and on the monitor Wyoming and the cruisers Tacoma and Milwaukee, building at the Union Iron works, San Francisco. Up to this time gratifying progress has been made on these ships.
Elk in Adirondack Game Reserve.
ALBANY, June 26.—The state forest, fish and game commission has placed in the Adirondack forest preserve four male and 10 female elk under authority of an act passed by the last legislature. They were secured at the estate of William C. Whitney at Lenox. Mr. Whitney presented them to the state. State Protector Winslow brought the elk to Racquette lake in crates placed in box cars. They were liberated in the vicinity of Mr. Whitney's Adirondack preserve. The commission has received advices that George J. Gould is arranging to procure a herd of moose in Canada which he will present to the commission as a nucleus for stocking the north woods with moose.
PAGE FOUR—EDITORIAL.
No Foreigners Need Apply.
Japan is trying on a large scale a scheme of colonization in the island of Formosa, which she received from China by the treaty of 1895, The Island Kingdom must have some outlet for its superabundant population, and the Japanese have turned to Formosa, where the government is conducting experiments with a view to making it peculiarly Japanese. The government has established a bank which lends capital for the encouragement of agriculture, etc., and especially for the development of the cultivation of sugar cane. By its means several large plantations have been started, as well as a sugar refinery, but all are in the hands of Japanese. Most creditable endeavors are being made by the government to open up the almost unknown interior by means of railroads, and already more than 30,000,000 yen have been appropriated for that purpose. The main line, as projected, is to be 250 miles in length, and will have great effect in reducing to submission the savage aborigines of the hills and mountains, many of whom are bandits and head hunters and have hitherto bidden defiance to all efforts for their subjugation. Taken all in all, Japan is doing good work in Formosa, but she is doing it for the Japanese, and no foreigners need apply, especially Chinese.

A BEAUTIFUL ROSE.
M. F. Cleary First Heard of It in Verse and Searched It Out.
About three years ago Mr. M. F. Cleary read a poem in a newspaper in which the beauties of the Annie Dickson rose were extolled in glowing terms. This was a new name to him and he did not find it catalogued anywhere. He wrote to some twenty different florists in different parts of the country inquiring if any of them knew of this rose. None of those who replied were acquainted with the variety, but one florist in Philadelphia wrote that he had seen the poem too and he also was "after Annie." Some months later be wrote Mr. Cleary that he had traced the rose to its original cultivator and he found that he was a man in Dublin, Ireland, named Dickson who had named the rose for his daughter. When Mr. Cleary heard that this man had paid his daughter the compliment of naming a new rose for her he felt confident that it must be a fine one. He would have ordered more than one plant, but doubted whether a rose cultivated in the mild climate of Dublin would stand our hard winters, and so concluded to try a simple plant at first.
He set this out a little more than a year ago in the Randall gardens and gave it no particular attention or care during the winter. The bush is very thrifty and vigorous this summer and has now sent forth its first roses. They are beauties indeed, wonderfully double and of a slight cream tint with a warm blush upon the petals that colors them up toward a pink and yet gives a very delicate and beautiful effect. Mr. Cleary is greatly delighted with the rose and it is admired by every one who sees it. He now wishes that instead of one bush he had ordered fifty, and he purposes to order a large number at once. Mr. Cleary is an enthusiast over roses and has some of the finest in this section of the country.
RILEY-RYAN.
A Numerously Attended Wedding at St. Mary's Church.
One of the prettiest as well as the largest weddings of the season occurred this morning at 8 o'clock at St. Mary's church when Miss Winifred Louise Ryan became, the wife of William R. Riley. The church was filled with friends and relatives of the two young people, both of whom are very popular. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. J. McLoghlin, pastor of the church. The bride was beautifully gowned in a traveling costume of pearl gray broadcloth and carried a bridal bouquet of white roses. The maid of honor was Miss Emma Kinney, and James Riley, a brother of the groom, was best man. The ushers were Messrs. Frank Cox and Patrick Dwyer. Later, a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's mother, 41 Crandall-st., for the members of the bridal party. The bride was the recipient of many valuable and costly gifts from her numerous friends. After a short wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Riley will be at home to their friends at 26 Charles-st., Cortland.
HOME FOR CHILDREN
Conducted at Blodgett Mills by Miss Emma C. Nason.
Miss Emma C. Nason who is conducting a mission at Sault Ste Marie, Mich., has established a home for infant children at her old home in Blodgett Mills. This is in charge of Mrs. Josephine Howe, a capable and efficient lady from Loudonville, Albany Co. Fourteen children have been received there during the past year, the oldest an orphan girl of 15 years. Ten children are now there. This institution is supported in part by local donations. The effort is to take children who have no homes and no one to care for them and to find homes for them in Christian families. An institution of this kind is capable of an immense amount of good and when conducted by a person like Miss Nason, who is so well known in this vicinity for her benevolence, kindness of heart and earnest Christian character, is capable of doing an immense amount of good. Further particulars may be obtained by addressing Miss Nason at Sault Ste Marie, Mich., or by writing to or seeing Mrs. Howe personally.

ANNUAL SPEAKING CONTEST
Of Gamma Sigma fraternity at Normal Hall Last Evening.
The nineteenth annual prize declamation contest of the Delta chapter of Gamma Sigma occurred last night at 8 o'clock in Normal hall in the presence of a large and enthusiastic audience. At the back of the rostrum was the American flag, while at the front were two large palms, one of which was adorned with the yellow and white of the sister society, Clionian, and the other wore the old rose and white of Gamma Sigma.
Before the exercises commenced the other four societies of the school marched in and took seats reserved for them. Mr. Harry A, Jennison presided at the piano as they marched in.
As the speakers took their places on the platform they were heartily greeted by schoolmates and friends. The following program was then presented:
All the speakers who participated did well and the judges, Hon. J. E. Eggleston. Prof. C. F. Place and Nathan L. Miller, Esq., had no easy task in making a decision, but Judge Eggleston finally announced that the first prize was to be awarded to Mr. James B. Clark of Cortland, the second prize to Mr. Chas. J. Otis of Homer and honorable mention to Mr. Chas. H. Huntley of New Woodstock.
Music for the contest was furnished by Messrs. Robert I. Carpenter, violinist; H. W. Carver, baritone, and Harry A. Jennison, pianist. These young men are former members of the fraternity and their music was heartily appreciated and they responded to frequent encores.
PAST RECORDS ALL BROKEN.
Official Tests of Eight Holstein Cows from O. U. Kellogg's Herd.
Prof. H. H. Wing, superintendent of the dairy department of Cornell university has just reported the result of the official tests made under the supervision of Mr. H. S. Stone, of eight Holstein cows from Hon. O. U. Kellogg's Riverside herd, that have made official records from 12.79 pounds for a 2-year old, to 20.89 pounds for a seven year old.
The test was commenced on the 23rd and ended on the 30th day of May, 1901. The report of Mr. Hoxsie, the superintendent of advanced registry of the National Holstein Friesian association of official records of cows made from May 10 to June 1, 1901, shows, that of thirty-one cows that were tested during this period they averaged 410.8 pounds of milk and 13.481 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 17 pounds 4 .8 ounces of butter in one week. The highest record was of an 8 year and 6 months old cow which gave 385.8 pounds, 16.150 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 20 pounds 3 ounces of butter in one week.
Mr. Kellogg's 7 year old cow, Nazli Pauline, No. 37,491, that won the butter test at the last county fair over the Jerseys, gave 508.4 pounds of milk containing 16.709 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 20 pounds 13.5 ounces of butter in a week, so that Nazli Pauline gave 123.1 pounds of milk more and made 10.5 ounces of butter more than any other cow tested during this period.
His 5-year-old cow, Dorinda Wayne DeKol, in her official test gave 473.3 pounds of milk and made 19.46 pounds of butter in a week.
His 4-year-old heifer, Beauty of Nanette 2nd, No. 42,583, gave 444.2 pounds of milk, containing 13.65 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 17.06 pounds of butter in a week, while the next best 4-year-old that was tested during this period gave 367.8 pounds of milk, 12.223 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 15 pounds, 4-5 ounces of butter.
His heifer Bonanza Orissa 2nd, No. 55,143, 2 years 1 month and 3 days old gave 345.2 pounds of milk containing 10.224 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 12.78 pounds of butter in a week, while sixteen other 2-year-olds that were tested during this period averaged 294.6 pounds of milk and 9.879 pounds of butter fat, equivalent to 12.34 pounds of butter in a week.
It will thus be seen that the milk records of these cows for the different ages are larger and their butter records greater than those of any other cows of the same age that were made during the same period of time.
DR. REESE'S NEW OFFICE.
Latest Ideas of Aseptic Work to be Incorporated in It.
Work is now progressing upon the addition to Dr. Reese's new office. In fact, the addition is to be the new office itself. The present private office is to be added to the reception room, the partition between the two being removed and as a substitute there will be a half partition about 8 feet high surmounted with pilasters. On the inner side of this half partition will be book cases, on the outer side panels of oak. All the finishing of this room will be in quartered oak.
The new office which is to be built off this will be 11 by 16 feet in size. It will have a tile floor, tile wainscoting and paneled ceiling with frieze in relief work. Everything will be perfectly white in and about the room. The cabinets and shelves will all be of plate glass, the plumbing of porcelain and all open work. The room will have an abundance of daylight from north, east and south, and electricity will also be used for lighting, for power and for any operations requiring it. The cellar below will be especially constructed for the storage of batteries and for containing machinery for furnishing power for any purpose needed above. Every detail will be carried out according to the latest ideas of aseptic work. It will be quite a model office for a physician and surgeon and for an operating room when completed.
It will probably require two months to put the office in full working order. During this time Dr. Reese will use other rooms in the house for office purposes, as the case may require.

The members of the graduating class of the primary and kindergarten department of the Normal school gave an informal reception to their friends yesterday afternoon from 4 until 6 o'clock in the large and attractive kindergarten room at the Normal building.
