OBJECTS TO N. Y. C. PLAN.
StuyUes0nt Fish Fighting Against
Condemnation of Propertg.

Stuyvesant Fish. who lives at Garrison-on-the-
Hudson. is fighting in the Supreme Court to
prevent the NewYork Central Railroad from
condemnng land he owns near tower No a.
just below TIE scene Of the Garrison disaster
in 1895, which the corporation wants to use
for a new roadbed.
The land the corporation seeks to acquire is
a steep bank 1,150 feet long and II feet wide
alongside the tracks. It wants to cut awav
this bank and lay the roadhed further in 70 the
mountainside to prevent future wrecks at Car
rison.
The present roadbed, according to testimony
before Justice Keogh. who held special term
OF the Supreme Court at White Plains yester-
day. Is constantly becoming depressed, and the
embanknent is considered the most dangerous
point along the New-York Central system The
tracks are continually sinking below their
proper level. and Superinte adent Mccoy Of the
company says there has been a depression in
the Toadbed Of five or six inches lately. Gangs
OF men are constantly at work there as the
company fears a train might run into the river
Testimony was taken to show hat one hun
oTed carloads OF rocks and small stones had
been dumped into the river to form a better pro
lection, but that the stones had disappeared in
twenty feet OF water. Mr.. Fish, who was wit
ness, believed the railroad should use other
means or sustaining the roadbed, such as a steel
span, and not condemn his property.
Justice keogh reserved decision. Mr. Fish's
nome is 1'ZOO feet from the point in dispute.
