THE PLANT WILL CASE.
Probability of Compromise Arrange
 ment Reported.

Probability of a Compromise Arrange ] ment Reported
 1 The New York Tribune yesterday contained the following concerning the
 Plant will contest:
 The friends of Mrs. Henry B. Plant
 of 5S6 Fifth avenue we're surprised and
 pleased yesterday oyer what they be-
 lieve to be a great advantage to her in
 her suit for her alleged dover rights
 in the large estate left by her husband,
 who died In June last in this city. His
 will, which has tied up the greater part of the estate in the hands of trustees until her great-grandchild shall attain his majority, left an annui7 | ty of S30,000 for his widow and his son Morton. Mrs Plant in December last brought suit against the trustees to have the property of her husbands es- tate brought back to this state, which in her complaint she asserted was his | legal home. The appraisement of the estate for the executors, as announce in the Tribune yesterday fixes it's value at $16,952 543.63. If Mrs. Plant is successful in establishing her claim to one-third interest in this, her income, 1t goes without saying, would be large ly in excess of $300O0 year, which she now receives There was some doubt on the part of the friends of Mrs. Plant that her contention that her husbands estate amounted to at least SIC, 900 would be sustained, but the appraise- ments show that her estimate was low one
 It was reported yesterday that the fact having been established that the estate is even more than Mrs. Plant contended, the trustees would come forward with a compromise proposi- tion Mrs. Plants friends said yester- day that there was no prospect of a settlement, and the prediction was made that the suit begun in Decem- Der would be fought out to the end, as the trustees are said to be deter mined to retain possession of the prop erty as long as possible. It could not be definitely learned yesterday wheth- CT or not the appraisement filed in New Haven includes the hotel property at Tampa, but the impression prevails that the schedules take in everything that MT. Plant possessed. The attor- neys for the trustees are Carter and Ledyard of Wall street:
 Judge Lynde Harrison, one of the trustees, is not in the city and could not be seen last night relative to the re- ported proba hility of a compromise be- tween trustees and Mrs. Plant.

MANY THEFTs FROM STUDENTS.
Several Cases Reported to the Police
 Recently

Several Cases Reported to the Police
 Recently.
 There has recently been an unusually large amount of thieving going on in students rooms on the campus and in private dormitories near by the cam pus. The thefts have been reported to the police, and the detectives are now working on the cases. One student s room was entered a week ago last Sat urday night and 1885 in cash taken. The student spent the evening in a friends room and when he returned to his own room he found that some- one had been rummaging there. He had left his money in box on dress CT and found that 1t was gone.
 Within the last week safe in a students room in Duncan hall was opened and $20 was taken. Tn this last instance the safe was opened by some one who knew the combination. Last Saturday night $75 was stolen from a graduate students room. So numerous have the thefts become that now all strangers entering the campus at night are stopped and questioned by the cam pus policemen. In one case an em- ploye is suspected, but in the other cases it is believed that the thefts have been committed by men who go upon the campus and about students rooms in the day time posing as agents and second hand dealers. It is thought that in this way they become familiar with the location of rooms and then return at night and go through rooms where they find the occupants absent

West Thompson, Jan. 31.-The Catho. lie church, situated about half way be- tween this place and the village of Mechanicsville, was destroyed by fire this morning.

The loss is $3,000; insured The church was To- cated so far from the center of either of the villages that it was impossible for firemen to reach the place before the flames had got beyond possibility of control.

ed by the fact however, that IN early
times, and for some years after the revo-
lutionary period local jealousies existed
between the several towns of state ana
IL was to appesse these jealousies that the
concession was made of two capitals,
Rhode Island, though not the pioneer,
Is now the last survivor of this custom,
and its citizens are to vote In November
on the proposition to DO way with New
port as "a capital and establish Providence
as the only one.
Another reason which has had consid-
cradle 10 DO with the establishment OF
capitals In early times In country dis
tricts was found in the definite boundaries
OF the state. All the original states had
fixed boundaries when admitted. but most
Of the Western and Southern states were
subdivisions of former territories. and
the capital which was appropriate at one
time would not serve after different boun-
daries were chosen. The Territory Of
Michigan for instance, Included a part or
Northwestern Ohio, including the city of
Toledo Ohio was admitted into the I'm

were not annexed to II until 1896 This

the capital, and Columbus was chosen

states, notably North Dakota. T. has been
necessary to put the matter of capital Sc

considerable contention and friction in the
settlement of the dispute. New Orleans
for a time after the civil war was the
capital Of Louisiana, has been superseded
by Baton Rouge. Detroit tho largest
city in Michigan. was originally the capi-
tai, position now occupied by Lansing.
Lecompton was The first capital Of Kan
sas; Topeka Is the capital now.
Omaha was the capital OF Nebraska as
a territory, and remained such for a
short time sitter its admission. until LIN
coin succeeded IT, Wheeling was the first
capital OF West Virginia before the se-
lection of Charleston, and Virginia city
was the capital of Nevada before the
selection of Carson City; or Carson. as Il
is called locally. Denver has always been

Yankfon. s. D.. was the capital OF pa
kota territory before It's admission into
the union as two separate states, but
the present capital OF South Dakota is
the town OF Pierre. and II was not estab-
lshed as such until after some contro-
