Attorney Shipman Withdrew His Mo-
 tion to Take Part of the Estate Out
 of This State-New Rule Regarding
 Appeals From the City Court to the
 District Court in Waterbury
 The probability of trouble between this state and the state of New York over the distribution of the estate of the late Henry B. Plant was removed yesterday in the superior court i'll New Haven by the withdrawal of d motion to take part of the estate from this state to the state of New York. The withdrawal was made by Attorney A. l.. Shipman of Hartford counsel for the estate. Some weeks ago this feature in the litigation over this estate was dwelt upon by the Democrat, showing the possibility of trouble between the two states for collateral inheritance tax of $1SO.O0O. The administrators had the estate probated in both states thus giving both jurisdiction on a mat ter that eventually should have to be settled by one of them only. Only once or twice before in probably one hundred years had such thing hap
 
 the state of Kansas took issue with a neghboring state over the question of Irrigation The farmers of the latter state began to dam up the streams and rivers that flowed through their farms so that eventually the farmers of Kan sas feared most destructive drought. The matter went to the courts after years of local litigation. The legisla- lures of both states were considerably exercised by the agitation and excite ment among. the farmers and populace and the matter is now in the federal supreme court.
 The withdrawal of the motion to re move portion of the estate from this state has saved the property a vast amount of expense and the courts a great deal of litigation. The motion to remove was opposed by Colonel Burpee counsel for Charles and Horace Hoad- ley. heirs at law, living in Highland park.
 The following rule has been prepared by Judge Peasley and Attorney Me NIahon. committee appointed by Judge Burpee some time ago:
 s.Upen an appeal being taken from the city court to the district court of Waterbury, the party appealing shall furnish the bond required within one week after taking such appeal If the bond on appeal is not furnish ed within the time limited by this rule execution may be issued as though nc appeal had been taken"
 This limits the time to complete ar appeal from the city. Heretofore 8 litigant could. take an appeal, from say the February term of the court to the April term of the higher court and keep dillydallying for months.

DURANT IS HUSTLING.
On Behalf of Pie Baking Co He is
 Looking for Whites Moneye

LOOklng TOT w nlte $ MOneyc
 There are some new developments i'll the case of w. l.. White, late proprie- tor of the Mammoth market on Bank street. Attorney Durant, representing the Domestic Pie Baking Go and other creditors, has been inquiring into the financial affairs of the missing market man and has discovered that he is the owner of two trotting horses which un- til recently were located at Charter Oak park. One of the animals is named Victor, and has a record of 2:17. After a long hunt MT Durant finally discov- cred that the horses mad been taken from the park and turned over to a man named Sampson at New Britain with whom White is said to have busi ness relations. The attorney also states that he has learned since White failed he has paid off some of his creditors, the sum of $1,Oo0 said to have been paid to P. s. McMahon of New Britain All these facts have been reported to Referee Newton, who has notified Mr Sampson not to dispose of the horses, so that it looks now as if the animals and other property not accounfed for at the time of the sale here will be turned over to the estate. Victor, the horse referre to, had the honor of spending short time at Dr Bland's infirmary ill this city. He went into the place almost q cripple and left it in condition to take a good shake out of anything that steps on the turf. The two horses are said to be worth about $2,000. White is said to have left the state and Prosecutor Durant says that he stands a chance of being arrested under a charge of receiving goods un- der false pretenses.

THINGS SLIGHTLY MIXED.
Big Fire Made Changes Which Are
 Hard to Get Accustomed to.

Hard tOt (JoC AcCQSLOul6Q ;
 A fellow hardly knows where he is at since the big fire last February" said a well known citizen this morning. All my folks are away at the shore or in the mountains and of course had to have breakfast down town. l me- andered out East Main street to place where I could often get a good square one, and To, I walked into a pawn shop. I looked around to see if 1 had made mistake but found I hadn't. My old friend of the pancake and other good things that only he knew how to make was gone and not a trace of him be- hind. Then I went down South Main to another old friend of mine ,who kept a more than fashionable place, and there again surprise awaited me. The old place had changed to another hook shop. These restaurants were places which I was accustomed to visit when I was younger and l was WOn- dering where I could turn to when l met friend. Of course there are many restaurants where one could go to but you know there are certain kinds Just suitable for certain occasions and these certain kinds have always peculiar way of doing things that tickles ones palate My friend directed me to place he used to frequent last summer while his folks were away and he was keeping bachelors hall. I went there only to find the pawnbrokers flagstaff hanging over the door, so came to the conclusion that the town was becoming mass of pawnshops, the most posi- tive proof that modern civilization can give that the poor in large numbers are with us. It then struck me that only recently has the pawn shop become an established feature in the city's life. Until within few years there was not more than two pawn shops in the city; now there is one everywhere you turn, as found out this morning while look ing for a breakfast" Then this well known citizen stepped in an up-to-date modern cafe.
