AIS ABBOTT LOSES RICH
LEGACY FROM RUSSELL.
Will Unwitnessed, Children Even
Demand Jewels Return.

MAYS LANDING, Nov. 2O.-A for
tune running into thousands of dol
lars has just been lost by Miss Bessie
Abbott, Of this place, because the will
Of John M. Russell, an eccentric re-
cluse, was not witnessed.
The will was made while Russell was
at the point of death. In his illness
Miss Abbott, daughter of the late AS
semblyman Abbott, befriended and
nursed Russell when he appeared to
have no friends or relatives, and in
gratitude he decided to leave her his
property when he learned that he could
not recover He signed the will but
called no witnesses to his signature.
After Russelps death his sons and
daughters came forward as claimants
TO the estate. They were Mrs. e. NJ.
Swalley and Miss Bertha L. Russell, of
Philadelphia. and Daniel H. Russell, of
Cape May. Miss Bertha Russell will
at once take out letters Of administra-
ton and demand that Miss Abbott sur
render a diamond ring and other valu-
able articles of jewelry which. It is
claimed, Russell gave her.

CITY WANTS PAY
FOR Pipes R0TTED
BY ELECTR0LYS|S
Service Corporations Escaping
Fluid Renders Mains AL
most Useless.

Chief Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
told the Board of Works commissioners
yesterday that he was negotiating with
Thomas N. McCarter, president of the
Public Service Corporation, to have
that corporation stand the expense of
replacing the water pipes destroyed by
electrolysis.
The pipes are softened and ruined by
the electric currents from the corpora
tion's feed wires. Engineer Sherrerd
told the commissioners that Mr.. Nc
Carter would lay the matter before
the executive board of the p. S. C.
and would give an answer before the
board met next Thursday. The matter
was laid over for one week.
Thousands of dollars worth of water
pipes are destroyed every year by cleo
tricity, and If the corporation does not
agree to aid in repairing this damage
the matter will be put In the hands of
the city law department.
At the suggestion Of Commissioner
Eggers the board passed a resolution
calling on Commissioner sDenman,
CIldlTIldn Vi the COlnllllllee vi STREETS
and highways, and Chief Engineer
Sherrerd to draft a scheme for better
inspection of city streets in order to
accelerate repairs. This was brought
about by a letter from the Board of
Trade in which attention was drawn
to the bad condition of Mount Pleasant
avenue, between Harvey and Clay
streets. Commissioner Denman said he
had already ordered the Barber Asphalt
Company to resurface this street, and
that work would be started immedi-
ately.
A letter from the public buildings
committee of the Common Council was
received asking the board to pave a
drive from the gutter at No. s engine
house at Ferry and Fillmore street. 1t
was decided that this was a matter for
Common Council or fire board action.
City Counsel James r. Nugent filed
an opinion on the liability Of the city
for removing gas pipes Of the Public
Service Corporation when necessary to
lay water mains, ruling that the city's
interests were paramount, and that the
city was not liable for removing pipes;
hat companies having charters to lay
pipe had a qualified right subservient
to that of the city,

with having ~dispelled more jealousy

All that was necessary was for a

experience when we went there 10 shoot in
1898 on this occasion, well when we shot a

is bad loser We found the same unpleasant

programme The King to present the prizes,
but when they saw that would surely outclass
them and become the winners the regal presenta-
ton plan was dropped The Englishmen found
trifes as excuses for our success They accused
us Of having an advantage in the use Of peep
sights on our rifles We had been using peep
sights for fifteen years. and they had the same
privilege TO use them if they chose.
Ion the other hand, the English team used a
