THE PENNSY'S SIDE.
What They Would Suffer if the
Arch We're Built-Coutingent
Damages.

After recess yesterday Counsellor Vre-
deaburgh aud Ex-Governor Bedls endea-
vored to persuade Judge Lippincott hat
the junction Railroad Comp any should
declare now many tracks 1t would cut at
one time while constructing the arched
tunnel across the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Iu this connection Counsel strongly inti-
mated that the jury would be asksd to
award contingent damages. that is. dam
ages that would be due the Pennsylvania
Company because of Its inability to use
all of its road through the interference OF
the Junction Company.
Councillors Emory and Curbin made a
hard fight against the claim for contin-
gent damages, and also against declaring
now many Of the compaRy's tracks
would be cut at one time. The Court
decided that 1t could not force such q
declaration from the Junction Company.
and then Mr.. Vredenburgh called
George w. Mershon, master carpenter
of the New York division OF the Psnn-
sylvania road, to testify to the durability
of iron bridges over railroa 1 tracks. He
said the iron bridge under which the
junction road would pass would last
from twelve to fifteen years; the gas from
the locomotives would rapidly destroy
the iron work, aud that il NO locomotives
passed under the bridge 1t would last
from thirty TO fifty years. On cross
examination he admitted that bridges
build now are much heavier and stronger
thar those constructed in 1857 when the
bridge in question was built Oy htin.
After this testimony, Frank H.. Earle
again took the witness stand. aud ne
testified that the land east of the pro-
posed junction crossing was meadow aud
on the west side rock aud upland. The
east side OF the tunnel would
have to be piled for n foundation,
for the meadow was thirty feet deep
| hnfnFa rnOR Vag rAQphQ1. If VVnnld NOT ho
necessary to pile WI the foundation
| of the arch: each foundation would DO
thirteen feet wide; it would only require
| piling for three-fourths of the east
foundation, and o~ue-fourth of the west
side would be piled, the rest would be on
rock foundation.
What would be the cheapest way to
build this arched tunnel2" asked MIR.
VredeuDurgh.
THE more rails that were cut the
cheaper would be the work for those do
ing it. II the junction Company should
| cut At once $50 feet, or eleven or twelve
tracks, 1t would be cheaper for that COM
pAny; but | don't think this would be the
most reasonable way. The tracks would,
under that plan, be cut for three or four
months, and then $50 feet more would
be opened ana SO on until the 42O feet
needed for the arch would ne
constructed. This would take frO4
eight to nine months. The more
reasonable way would be to cut two or
tbres tracks &C q time, but by doing this
one>tenth OF the yard would be out of
use for about u year The fHing
would have to be taken out Of the Penn
sylvania roadhsd. which is thirty feet
deep, the track would nave to be
planked aud supported aud the dirt re-
moved the same as in building any tun-
| mel. But Notwithstanding tnis the com
pany would lose tue use or cne-tenth OF
the yard for nearly q year.
