PRESIDENT FoGGIy DISPLACED.
Three Pors Richmond Trustees Put Through .
water Contract

sntcF htEbC
The water supply contract Of Port Richmond.
Staten Island, with the Staten Island Water
Supply Company expired moro than a year ago.
The company refused to execute q contract for .
shorter term. and would accept no new terms
except o slight reduction In tho annual charge
for fire hydrants. Some OF the Village Trustees
opposed q long contract on the ground that 1t
might increase the value OF the water plant II
1t should be condemned by the Greater New
York Government. t n meeting of the village
board last Tuesday evening u new ~ive-year con-
tract was awarded to the company on its own
terms by tho votes Of Trustees Robert Brown.
Frank Foggin. President OF the board, and
Trustee Simonson opposed the contract.
President Foggin was requested to execute
tho contract in behalf OF the village. but do
clined to do so until the next meeting Of tho
board, which was to be held next week. Tho
three trustees who voted for the contract signed
q call for n special meeting yesterday morning.
Foggin nor Trustee Simonson attended. The
former sent O letter stating that ho was de-
tained by business engagements. The throe
trustees then declared the Office OF President OF
the village vacant and elected Trustee Van
Name to the vacancy thus created. As soon as
no was declared President of the village Mr..
Van Name executed the water contract, and IL
was delivered to the representatives OF the
water company.
Mr.. Foggin declined to discuss tho matter
when seen yesterday, but there is much talk
among tho citizens OF carrying tho matter into
the courts. The trustees who removed Mr.. Fog
gin say that they acted under legal advice.

BANGOR, Me-. June Mrs. Addie W. Bug
zell Of Clinton, IS years old. married and d.
vorced five times. in each OF which she has been
the nbellant, is having q siege from q horde Of
suitors In person and by mail. Mrs. Buzzell is
in sole possession of a fine farm that she tills
with the aid Of a hired man. She is q very ad
vanced type Of Independent woman, and frankly
says that when she has found that q husband
has not come up to her ideas Of industry and
thrift she has promptly set him aside. She also
says that she Is looking for the right man to
handle her farm and make her happy.
A statement to this etfoot appeared In various
papers recently. and then tho suitors began to
come. This week the woman has been SO pes
tered that she has tied her yellow watchdog out
side her. door. II a man braves the dog, Mrs.
Buzzell lifts a shotgun across her arm. and with
the self.reliance OF, a Maine farmer woman
threatens to "let daylight" through the per-
sistent sutton unless he leaves the premises.
She receives on an average q dozen letters Q
day, all Offering marriage. She has answered
none of the letters. She secured IA divorce from
her last husband only three months ago. Al
though 1t was, reported that she intended to
marry her hired man. she says she is willing
TO walt q while before trying matrimony again.

ate are moro children beside the Illinois fellows
who passed the Allen Street Railway bill the

como. Think Of Gov. Tanner signing such q bill
1t Is one Of the most disgraceful acts In the his
tory Of our American Government"

rial columns of June 10. Tho Tribune, too, 10
backed up by the other leading papers Of that
city and by very nearly all the people Of the city
OF Chicago except those directly Interested In
this nefarious legislation. Now. whom shall We
blame for such dissraceful legislation l toll
you It is as Alderman Hartman says, w ought
to place the responsibility for the boodling Of
Legislatures right whore 1t belongs. on what we
call tho leading citizens He calls them pro-
fcssional c%itizens.'
at is certainly a lamentable condition Of
things when notorious boodlers are taken into
what is called the best society and are lionized
by what are known as the respectable clement
the element whose brains and money ought to
BIO used TO accomplish better ends than induc-
ing corrupt Legislatures TO sell the rights Of the
people. II this were q matter of abstract dis.
cussion 1t would be Of little consequence, but in
the city OF Chicago thousands OF people arc sui
ferinR for the ordinary necessities of life, while
those who nre supposed to. protect their inter-
ests are selling them out as heartlessly as though
human liberty. and life were a mere commodity.
Il tell you that II won't do to sit down and try
to gloss over these things. Campaign speeches
and Fourth OF July %orations will never replace
the millions that corrupt Legislatures take from
tho pockets of tho people and hand over to cor
porate highwaymcn. To-day wc nocd something
moro than talk. We need plain. vigorous action.
I know that men are called Anarchists for point
ing out these conditions; but let me say this to
you: the best patriots are not the men who are
blind to abuses such as those practised by tho
Illinois Governor and Legislature. The men
who have the country's interest at heart are
those who see these abuses. and. seeing them,
try to apply the proper remedy. l believe that II
all tho patriotic citizens would do this, such dis
graceful legislation as that recently enacted In
Illinois would DO outside the range of POSSIBLE
| ities."

CooPERsTowN, n. Y. June l2.-As q result of
a ruling by Judge Forbes In the trial of the FL.
lerson- Westcott 100000 contested will case.
the plaintiffs may be prevented from presenting
certain evidence as to the manner Of the death
of Munroe Westcott, the ~testator. Most Of the
day was consumed by arguments regarding the
admissibility of evidence which will tend to
prove that Mr.. Westcott did not die naturally.
Judge Forbes decided that evidence as to
occurrences after the making Of the will and the
acts OF Mrs. DR.. Pope-W estcott Just preceding
and after tho death OF her husband was danger
Gus and inadmisslble:
The gist OF to-day's testimony was In effect
that Mrs. Or. Pope Westcott often Dragged that
she could control her hpsband's action. Ono
her the opinion that the ~testator, would die
during his trip TO Europe, which trip, previous
him to take against his wishes.
Lawyer w. II. Johnson. late Of the Statutory
Revision Committee. while examining q witness
this forenoon, broke down and was taken to his
