RAILROAD WANTS. FISH'S LAND
For Tracks 10 Pass a Dangerous Point
al Garrison.

WHITE PLAINS. n. y, July 16,-Stuyve-
SAINT Fish of Garrison, president of the IL
linois Central railroad, and Mrs. Fish are
making bitter fight in the Supreme Court
TO prevent the New. York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad Company from con-
demning land they own near Tower AZ,
Just below the scene Of the Garrison dis
aster i'll 1893, which the corporation wants
to use for new roadbed.
The land which the corporation seeks to
acquire is steep bank l,lSO feet long and
II wide, beside the company's tracks.
The present roadhed, according to the
testimony before Justice keogh, who held
a special term of the Supreme Court at
White Plains to-day. is constantly becom-
ing depressed. Testimony was given to
show that hundred carloads Of rocks
and small stones had been dumped into the
river TO form better protection, but that
the stones all disappeared in the water.
Mr. Fish. who was a witness. believes
the railroad company should use other
means of sustaining the roadbed and not
condemn his property for it's use. Justice
Keogh reserved decision. Mr.. Fish's resi-
dence at Garrison is 200 feet from the
point in dispute.
