East View, N. Y. February 2S.-Con-
siderabble property in this place was re-
Gently condemned forfthe new Tarrytown
water works. The farmers are very much
opposed to giving up their lands unless
big damages are paid, and as result
there is considerable hostility to the
water commissioners.
Among those who are bitterest against
the commissioners is Mrs. Mary Ange-
vine, the wife Of a fireman on the New
York and Putnam railroad. She owns
little place valued at about $500, which
was been condemned with other lands in
she immediate neighborhood. Mrs. Ange-
vine has always said that if any Of the
men dared to trespass on her property for
the purpose OF digging she weuld drive
them away. Yesterday a gang of fifty
msn appeared on her land and began ex-
cavations. Mrs. Angevine saw them and
ordered every man to cease work or she
would have tho law on them. The men
laughed at her. This made her angry,

workmen had been dubbed about the
