The Southern Railway, beginning
February %, shortened the schedule
of its morning train, the United States
fast mail, to jacksonville at 7:2O a.
m., instead of 9:25 a. No., as hereto
fore. This improved schedule will
doubtless be approved by everyone.
Mails coming by the Southern will
therefore arrive from the north some
two hours earlier than heretofore, and
this will prove very acceptable to the
newspaper reading public and to per-
sons having northern correspondents.
The schedule also insures connection
at Jacksonville with trains TO the
southern part of the state for both
mail and passengers, This better
schedule is the result Of the mail an
preparation just made 10y congress for
a continuance of the quick mail SER

The Plant Will Case.

Mrs. Margaret J Plant, the WHO"
Of Henry Bradley Plant, listened lor
five hours yesterday while John H.
Parsons spoke in her behalf III 'ne
Plant will case, which has oeen on
trial before Judge Leventritt, OF the
supreme court. The questions at IS
sne are rs to whether this state OF
Connecticut shall administer the
Plant fortune. and also as to whether
the will shall be offered for PROBATE
here or shall be allowed to rest undis-
turbed in Connecticut, where IL has
been prObated.
Mr.. Parsons, in his address yester'
day, declared that Mr.. Plant Intehoeu
to establish complete hospital ID thlS
city, and had also planned to proViue
for several of his trusted employees
The counsel for the plaintiff also add
ed that should his client succeed III
upsetting the will she would proceed
to carry out the wishes her husband
had expressed in his lifetime.
1t was the closing day of the trial,
which has been in progress for weeks,
and which involves the disposition or
$40 900, 900. If Mr.. Plants will is car
ried out this fortune may be tied up
for sixty or even eighty years.
The estate is now drawing interest
at between 4 and 5 per cent, ana,
while at the time of the death of Mr..
Plant, on June %, 1899, it was valued
at ST. 900, 900, it has since increased 10
$40, 100000. At 4 per cent. the income
is $500, 900 annually, and at per cent
it amounts to 100000. In sixty
wears the estate will have increased to
$3.50, 600, 900, and in eighty years it Will
have mounted up to nearly 800, Ooo,-
600.
Mr.. Plants will provides for the
payment of an annual income OF
$50, 900 each to his widow and his son,
Morton Freeman Plant, and then ties
up the fortune during the lives of the
widow, son, daughter-in-law and
grandsOn-whO is now about seven
years 0ld-until the youngest child OF
his grandson reaches the age of Il
| years. While the tying up of an es-
tate beyond "two lives in being" is
invalid under the laws of this state,
| it is valid in Connecticut.
Should Mrs. Plant succeed in this
present suit in having the probate in
New Haven declared void, the ques-
ton as to the validity of the will in
this state will then arise. Should it
be held to be invalid, and the estate
distributed as if Mr.. Plant died intes-
tate, Mrs Plant will inherit between
| SC, O0O,0 600 and s., 200, 600, while Morton
Freeman Plant will get the balance,
about 100000
