TITLE INVOLVED IN RIVERSIDE DRIVE.


1t became, necessary, when the hlVersiue
Park was opOned and the old BlO0mlngdae roau run
ming through widened into TIE present RIVERSIDE
Drive TO settle by award the damages caused to land
owners by the diversion OF their land 10 the pubic us
The BIoomin gdae road widened In l13o 80 as "
ma four rods wide and the right oil the pubic u It's
use ma public highway which had previously rested on
the mere acquescence OF the adjoining LANDOWNERS was
secured by formal conveyances. The right OF the city,
however was in the nature easement, aud the rec
still remained In the adjoining owners. Tne city
first acquired q title in foe to the road
bed when the BlOOmngdale road was aRan
widened and transformed into Riverside DriVe'
Nicholas DePeyster was one OF the LANDOWNERS VINO
granted to the city right of way above referred to-
Upon Mr. d. Peysters DEATH his real estate passed 10
his son George who sold Tobias tract OF about
four acres the easery line OF which was bounded by
the northerly side Of the Bloomingdae road"
It's the settled law in this State that such convey
ance does pass the title to that part OF the iand
covered by the road, as would have been
the case IL the description had read
"along tho road" The fee simple, therefore,
in the strip land lying between the land conveyed TO
Tobias aud the centre the BoOnngdae road remained
in George DePeyster and passed, up0n his DEATH 10
Nicholas DePeyster in whom 1t remained until acquired
by the city, The land 10 Tobias now owned oy
Henry W T. Mali and his brother Charles Mali the Bel
glan Consul, and an award OF $1,000 was made
to them damages for the lana unuer
the pr,,s ent Riverside Drive taken by the city.
NichoIs DePeyster set up "A claim To Tue award to MT
Mali on the ground that the tee acquired Dy the cry nad
belonged TO him, and began an action 10 rue supreme
Court TO enforce tine claim. Justice Daneis before
whom the case was tried, without jury handed down
yesterday decision III the III wLlch e ned that
the title of Mr. DePeyster the land under me drive
WAS not such Us to entle him to any substantial
award The real beneficial interest IN tie
land had been in tue public for nearly
no hundred years Mr.. Mali had not even tecnnlcal
mic 70 the land Tor the taking Of which the $1,000 was
awarded him, but Justice Daniels held That tst TACT
could not entItle Mr.. DePeyster TO recover from MN
the amount OF the award. IL was not sufficient 10 mal-
tain such an acton that brought by MT DePeYscr
that the person receiving the award had no righ 10
take 1t but II must be established that the paintn was
tL. person 70 whom II OF right belonged.

A lot Of bones found yesterday in

and Mosby streets, we're not
those Of a terrier or a child,
but once formed the framework of
large and intelligent Newfoundland
dog. Leo, as he was called, was the
property Of Mr., VIM. Feathelstone,
who once kept a grocery on that cor
ner. Many anecdotes are related Of
the dog by his master, among them a
habit he had of scratching frantieally
on the door whenever an alarm of
fire was sounded. Old age crept upon
him, and when he sank at last, he was
inferred with "caninical" honors
under an old magnolia tree in the
yard, which has since withered and
died.
