HIS RIPARIAN RIGHTS
Old and Interesting Case Re-
vived at Albany.
WAS BEGUN TWENTY YEARS AGO,
The Suit Involves s1sO.OO0 and oriei-
mated over the Establishment of the
centrai-Hudson Railroad Depot
at Yonkers. n. Y.

, ALBANY, Oct. THE court Of ap-
peals heard arguments in a case which
has hung fire before judicial tribunals
in this state for nearly 20 years and
which not only involves a claim for
damages OF S150OOO, but also develops
interesting history concerning the es-
tablishing OF the depot of the Central
Hudson Railroad company I'm Yonkers.
II was begun in 1873 by Josiah Rich
now dead and is continued by the ad-
ministrator Of his estate. The action
was begun to recover the valuation OF
property lost. the claimant contended.
by the action of the railroad company
in removing the location OF its station
in Yonkers.
In 1871 Rich purchased property
fronting the river between Dock and
Main streets. The Central Hudson sta
tion was there located. The value OF the
property was Sl5O0OO. and he placed
thereon mortgage TO the Mutual Life
Insurance company OF New York city
for $4,000. TO the left OF Mr. Rich's
property ran what is known as the
Nepperhan river, over which the rail-
road company had a drawbridge.
The company. desiring TO construct
a permanent bridge i'm its stead, had
a bill passed in the legislature author
izlng the closing Of the creek for navi-
cation provided damages were paid To
the owners of riparian rights, among
whom was Rich. In his suit the latter
alleged that the company thinking
that the damages would be too ex-
cessive, resolved not to build the bridge
but to remove the depot a mile away n
the property owners did not waive their
claims for damages
This greatly deprecated the value OF
his property. The insurance company
which held the mortgage promised an
extension until Aug. /. 1878. following
and instead Of keeping the same, fore.
closed the mortgage In June. thus TAX.
ing from Rich his entire property. Rich
sued to recover for the value of his
property on the ground that the rail-
road company broke a contract entered
| into with him, by which he gave III.
claims for the locating of the depot.
He was nonsuited when the case cam,
up for trial. but the court Of appeals or
dered new trial because Rich had mo-
been permitted TO enter evidence {,
prove that the railroad company hat
requested the insurance company I,
foreclose its mortgage to take the prop
erty out of Rich's hands. on secon,
trial the complaint was dismissed, whicl
dismissal was affirmed by the genera
term in 1895.

touch CT color. Another model is of
the new shade of bluet velvet. 1t is
trimmed from the side with long white
plumes and twists of the velvet. On
the right side of the crown is a large
cut steel buckle and under the brim a
couple Of rosettes, which have taken
the place of roses.

their desire that he should remain at

subsequently they cabled TO the cabi-
net at Madrid requesting that the cap
tain general be retained at the head Of

as in control Of it's civil affairs.
General Weyler In acknowledging
their expressions OF confidence, said
that the criticisms and attacks made
upon his military conduct We're without
foundation. as it had always been his
plan to finish war with war.
El Dlraio de la Marina, the organ OF
the Reform party, commenting on the
new Spanish cabinet In its leading ed
itorial, says
"The fall of the headless and dlscon-
certed Conservative party means a
transition from dark night to a sunny

confidence in a prompt establishment
of peace. The rise in Spanish securities

WHEN FARMING IS PROFITABLE

vorable weather has enabled most of
the farmers of Caroline county to finish
cutting corn, and some have finished
seeding wheat. The introduction and
use of the corn harvester, an invention
of ]. H. Smith & Bro, of Ridgely, has
greatly expedited the gathering of the
corn crop. The acreage of wheat TO be
seeded will be about a fourth larger
than usual, which is due to the advance
in price. Upward Of 10000 tons of fer
tilizers have been sold in Caroline
county. One dealer in the county has
sold twenty-fve new wheat drills.
