Objectionable Provisions stricken Ont or the
Brush Board OF Health Biil.
ALBANY Feb. 15.-when Drs. Jenkins and
Cosby Of the city of Now York Board of Health
appeared before the Senate Cities Committee
this afternoon to protest against tho Brush bill.
they were told by Senator Brush that the fea-
lures to which they objected had been elim-
mated. The prohibition Of tho sale of vaccine
virus and antitoxin, he said. did not now apply
within the city. 1t was intended only to pre-
vent their sale by the Health Board to tho city
Of Chicago and tho United States Army, which.
he. understood. had been arranged, and similar
sales to outsiders. The provisions to keep the
Police Board President out Of the Health Board
and to exclude tuberculosis and other diseases
from, the list Of contagious diseases had been
stricken out also.
,"All that the bill provides for now said Sem
ator Brush, lis. to permit a physician to BIO
President OF the board. to limit the jurisdiction
of the department to matters of health specif-
ically. to require that nil yaccinators must be
physicians, to fx q penalty for failures to report
births. and to make the mandatory issue of war
rants under the Sanitary Code contingent on the
complaint Of the Board Of Health instead Of any
citizen"
The Commissioners still objected to the re.
strictions on the sale Of antitoXin, and there will
be another hearing. DIR. Piffard OF tho County
Medical Society spoke in favor of the bill.

RAILROAD AND VILLAGE At WAR.
Port Jervis Trying to Force tho Erie to widen

q MARROW calvert.
PORT JERvIs, n. Y, Feb. 15.-The trustees Of
this village. through their attorney. John w.
Lyon, served o notice yesterday on w. L. Derr,
superintendent of tho Delaware division Of tho
Erie Railroad, requiring the company to open
up Fowler street across the Erie tracks. The
contention of tho company is that the street has
been abandoned for over twenty years and that
1t has gained a right to use 1t by prescription.
To open Fowler street would require the re-
moval of the gates at the Erie station and q
roadway over humorous tracks. The Erie Com
pany had all the Port Jervis wreckers out last
night in readiness to combat by force any at
tempt on the part OF the village to open up
Fowler street across their tracks. They barri-
caded the crossing with heavy derrick cars.
rendering 1t impossible for vehicles to pass.
gagged to resist any attempt on the part of tho
village to remove the fence in front OF the sta
tion platform.
MIR. Bacon, counsel for the Erie, arrived In
town last night. and a conference was arranged
for tomorrow between Mr.. Brownell, general
solicitor and counsel for the Erie. and the vii
lage officials with n view to an amicable adjust
mcnt of all matters relating to the Fowler
street crossing and the widening OF East Main
street culvert.
The culvert is the real cause OF the contention.
1t was built fifty years ago. when only a narrow
passageway was needed, but now hundreds of
vehicles daily pass through 1t In addition to the
trolley cars. Tho Railroad Commissioners were
to act in the matter. II the Erie agrees to widen
the culvert the matter of opening Fowler street
will be dropped. In the meantime the barricade
Is kept up. and the watchmen at the Fowler
street crossing are ready to resist any efforts on
the part of the village to take possession of the
crOaSinU.

William Riley Foster. who was brought back
from Paris to answer to q charge of forgery in
the first degree. was arraigned yesterday in the
General Sessions. When Foster was counsel for
the ~gratuity fund of the New York Produce tx
change he robbed it Of $193. 900. Judge Fitz.
gerald yesterday gave counsel until Friday
morning to put in a plea.
While Foster was being arraigned q woman
in the courtroom burst into tears and seemed
greatly affected at seeing Foster a prisoner. 1t
was reported about the courtroom that the
woman was Lulu Beloit. with whom Foster fed
ten years ago and who is now said to be his wife:
Lawyer Semple. who represented the firm Of
Coudert Bros. in court said that the woman
was not Lulu Beloit and added that the Beloit
woman had paid only one visit to this country
since the time she fled with Foster. This was q
year ago. when she came to New York to con-
suit Coudcrt Bros. on a matter OF business.
Two Central Office detectives who came into
the courtroom after the strange woman had
gone away said that they knew 1t to be a fact
that Lulu Beloit was now living in this city,
having COM here from Paris six weeks ago,
after Fosters arrest. Foster was taken to the
Tombs after his arraignment.
