 The water committee, which Is consider
 ing the matter of the renewal of the citys contract with the water company held a meeting in city hall Saturday night which was scheduled to be an executive session, but which came near not being of the character scheduled. The committee was ready to proceed to business shortly after 8 o'clock, there being present i'll the room at that time besides the committee Attor- ney James T.

A Wild Adventure Which Befell Fish erman.
 A bad spell of weather had lasted a ! week. even a worse one than that of the | hoy who spelt it whether the steam
 boats reporting fearful passages" '" { waves washing the decks" and pas sengers sea sick" At last things
 seemed to mend There came fine
 bright though windy day, and cooped
 up as I had been in Glasgow and una

 These, with the salmon, work up from the River Leven, and are often in suf- ficient number to afford plenty of sport
 Of course, on such large sheet of wa ter the problem is first find your fish, !"
 Chartering a boat at Balloch, the southern point of the loch, I was soon under way for a spot some three miles off, a bay where the sea trout were re- ported rife. I was solus. It is ever difficult to find congenial companion at liberty just when required. There are always a hundred influences to keep him away from the sacred and apostolic pursuit of fishing. I would have been more than usually glad of companionship as it was not at all ge- nial. Although the sun shone, now and then, there was a high wind the rem nant of the weeks storm, which rem dered pulling the boat none too easy a task, However, this heightened the chance of success with the sea trout. so I struggled on in good spirit though every now and then I could hardly keep the boats head straight.
 Arrived at the little bay, soon got to WoIh, and, the wind blowing my flies out in fine style, casting was easy enough. I soon got a fish or two, but not of much account; so l moved my quarters There I did still worse, and, after trying everything I knew, I fell to on my luncheon, feeling that I had quite earned it, what with my Hong pull and strong pulp and three hours of flogging the water la sjambok.
 On resuming with the rod I tried a phantom minnow, and soon began to get not trout, but some fine perch. of which there is a goodly supply in the loch. l should here mention, for the benefit of prospective anglers, that the fishing comprises salmon and sea trout Gin season., and plenty of coarse fish,

A DECISION IN MRS. PLANTS
 FAVOR.
Justice Leventritt Decides for Her 1T Will Fight

Justice Leventritt Decides for Her in
 Will Fight.
 New York. Jan 5.--Justice LeVentrltt in the supreme court yesterday handed down a decision that the will of the late Henry Bradley Plant should be es- tablished as that of a resident Of this city. This decision is a victory for Mrs. Margaret J. Plant, the widow, who con- tested the validity of a codicil to the will. by which MT. Plant just before < his death attempted to tie up his per eonal estate until the youngest one or his grandchildren, now a boy ot SIX years, should become of age.
 Mr. Plant was the founder of the Plant system of steamships, railroads and hotels, and his personal estate was worth about $21 100000 at the time of his death. Justice Leventritt's decision will give to Mrs. Plant her dover in- terest in the estate, amounting to about $7,00O,O00, whereas if the codlcil exc cuted in New Haven were sustained she would have only an annuity of $3o- GOO derived from a trust fund. Mrs. Plant contended that in executing the last codicil to his will her husband tried to evade the laws of the state of New York in the alienation of his estate, and that the declaration made in the codicil that he was resident of Connecticut was made for the purpose of carrying out such an object whereas he was not a resident of Connecticut, and owned no real property in that state.
 Mrs Plant asserted that when she was ignorant of the effect of her action and was not represented by counsel she per- ,mittea those who had been her hus- band's legal advisers to take charge of his will and the codicils, and they took them to Connecticut and filed them in the probate court in New Haven. At one point in his decision Justice Leven- tritt says
 { "It does not require an extensive search to discover motive. MT. Plants proposed testamentary disposition was invalid under the laws of New York, but valid under the laws of Connecti- cut. Beyond this very obvious induce ment to acquire New Haven domicile, there are more or less definite items of evidence showing a desire to escape New York burdens of taxation. Independent of a motive, MT. Plant

never in fact abandoned his New York domicile nor did any act from which the fact of changed residence could be inferred Read in the light of motive, the expression of the intent, even so far as it went, loses much of it's legal vital- ity.
 MT. Plant, then, died domiciled resident of the state and city of New York. Here was the situs, therefore, of his vast personal property; here was the Jurisdiction where his will should have been admitted to probate; here it should have been interpreted and de- elared valid or invalid, according to the law and practice of our courts; here administration and distribution should have been had.
 Therefore l am of the opinion that the will of MT. Plant should be estab- lished in this Jurisdiction as that of resident of the county and state of New York at the time of his death."
 The case may be appealed by the de- fendants. Hon. Lynde Harrison of this city, named as one of the executors un- der the will says that the whole mat ter at present is in the hands of the New York counsel. The case is in the hands of Lewis Cass Ledyard and Maxwell Evarts in New York, who are the counsel for the executors
 Unless there is an appeal taken the next step in the case will be the ap- pearance of the executors in the New York courts These executors, named by the will of MT. Plant. are Morton F. Plant, George H. Tilley, Margaret J. Plant, Lynde Harrison and Robert G. Erwin.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Mat. Gen.

stern hand to natives or the Philippines
who baye been INDUCING n murder
and piilage under h pEetense or fight
ing for independence.
The official mail from Manila just re-
ceived by the war department contains
the orders in ten cases OF natives tried
before military commissions for muir
der. In every case except one the per-
son murdered was a native. The one
der whose body. strangely enough.
could not be Identified by the military
authorities. Nearly all h accused
were sentenced 10 death and I'm a ma
5crity OF cases the sentences were APP
proved by Gen. Chaffee. In a case
where the native convicted vas SEN
fenced to twenty years Imprisonment.
Gen. Chaffee expressed the opinion that
the sentence was inadequate.
One OF the natives tried, Augustin

Iocos. Luzon. was q leader or the FIJI

Antonio Abaya. who was supposed to
be an American spy. On the witness
stand Aguilar gave as a reason for the
murder that the community wanted to
get rid of Abaya because he had "a bad
sickness" Aguilar's sentence was
death, but Gen. Chaffee committed it to
imprisonment for life.

SMALLPOX WAR ON.
Inhabftants OF an Indiana Village
Are Wildly Excited.

Kokomo. Ind, Jan. ga smallpox
war Is raging at Greentovn, ten miles
east Of here. Isaac Murphy, whom the
officers Of a dozen Indiana towns have
been pursuing for ten days on suspicion
OF spreading smallpox, was captured at
Greentown Friday night.
Murphy was ordered quarantined at
the home OF william Somers. The WI
layers objected to sheltering Murphy in
their midst and appealed to the au-
thorities to have him removed TO an
other place. This wax refused, and at
2 O'Clock yesterday morning a mob as
sembled at the Somers' home and or
dered Murphy out Of town. under pen
atty OF violence. Murphy dared the
crowd, and, raising a shotgun, began
firing into the mob. One sho took Eff
feet on Officer John Poole, who had
just arrived to queli the riot The shot
was not intended for the officer. his
presence being unknown to the occu-
pants OF the house. Fifty birdshot PEN
etratd his lower limbs, but the injuries
are not fatal. The crowd then dis
persed, u declared they would return
and finish the job. In anticipation OF
further trouble last night the house
was b~arricaded. So far he a~ssailants
have not again shown up and IT is
thought the vigorous fight displayed by
the two men has scared them out.

The matter was brought to Secretary

ject for court martial or reprimand. u

son.tes can arrange things SchIey viii
be put to all the annoyance possible.

formally with Judge advocate General
Lemly, but no definite line of action
was determined upon
Admiral Schley's letter to Mr.. Graham
was dated Nov. IA. 1901. and was writ
ten from the Arlington hotel, this city.
The sessions OF the court OF inquiry had
then been conducted several days, but
this, according to the navy depart
ments authorities, does not affect the
case. Secretary Longs special order
that naval officers should not discuss
