         The board was organized by the choosing of Hon. John T. ANDRES as president and John A. UNDERWOOD, cashier of the Citizens' Bank, as secretary. The business proposition which the meeting was called to consider was from SNIDER, KOHL Brothers & BUFF of Rochester, who wish to establish a canning factory here, if the village will present them with a free site. The firm agrees to guarantee to spend $10,000 the first year for help and fruit, employing twenty-five women and seven men, and to put up 250,000 cans of various products, to double these items the second year and to treble them on the third, agreeing, also, in case of failure in any way in the agreement, to surrender all claim upon the site. The proposition would seem a good one on its face, and a committee of five, Messrs. Thomas S. BURNS, James C. GOODSPEED, John H. BUTLER, Samuel McMATH and Henry J. McADAMS, was appointed to investigate the firm and to report to another meeting to be held to-night. At this meeting, if the report of the committee be favorable, an effort will be made to see what can be done toward getting the site desired.

ASSAULT VICTIM'S CONDITION.
Still Confined in a Hospital and Not Able to Appear in Court.
         George JONES, who is charged with assault in the second degree on James CUMMINGS, was to have been examined in police court to-day, but as the man who was assaulted was not able to appear in court being yet under treatment at the Homeopathic Hospital for his injuries, the case was adjourned a week. JONES is out on bail.
         The assault, which was a particularly vicious one, was committed three weeks ago in the barn of the National Biscuit Company on Spring street. JONES was employed there as head barnman and CUMMINGS worked there as a hostler.  They had words over some trivial matter, and JONES, who has an uncontrollable temper, attacked CUMMINGS with a heavy barn broom handle beating him in a most brutal manner. CUMMINGS' arm was broken, one finger was broken and his jaw was broken. JONES was arrested by Lieutenant ZIMMERMAN and Officer BARNETT.
