Duggun.
Yesterday's meeting of the poor board
wns u remarkable one, owing to the
predominance of distressed aliens who
applied for relief. They presented a
destitute appearance In some cases, and
desired to be shipped back to the old
country.
Director Shotten reported that the
representatives of the board had con
ferred with the committee of the
Hoard of Associated Charities with re-
gard to the proposal thut the board
should contribute toward puyitif? the
salary for an assistant for Mrs. Dug
gun. Attorney SerugK bad, however,
advised them that such action on their
part would be illegal. No action was
taken In the mutter, so thut the pro
posal will not be further considered.
A letter was reud from the superin
tendent of the Klwyn Home for feeble
minded children, apologizing for the ap
parent discourtesy shown toward the
board, nml explaining that the mistake
urose in an accidental manner.
Tho auditor's report for the past year
was presented as follows: Warrants

aries and services, $13,006,411; out-door

leaving a balance on4iand of $12,903.37.
Tho auditors reported thnt the ac
counts of the secretary and treasurer
were found to be correct, and that they
had visited the poor farm, where
everything was stated to be In good or
der, the inmates and property being
well cared for. They approved of the
action of the board in purchasing ad
ditioiial farm land and considered the
money well Invested. The amount of
out-door relief during the year was
large, but the period was an "unex
ceptlonally hard one. They recom
mended that the alderman's fees for
ciders be discontinued If that course
could be adopted legally. The report
was signed by V. J. Costello. Frank T.
Okell and C. H. von Storeh. At the
conclusion of the meeting Mrs. Duggan
brought several cases to the attention
of the board, which were disposed of.

arrest.
Patrolman Saltry placed Flannighan
under arrest as he emerged from the

EX-JUDGE JOHN HUNDLEY
Much Kcijrct Expressed Throughout
the City at His Death.
LEAVES AX IMMENSE ESTATE
It Is Supposed to lie Worth About $'2,
500,000-l unorul Will Take Place
Tomorrow Afternoon Scrvl ccs
at St. Luke's Church.
The death of ex-Judge John Handley,
which was announced In The Tribune
yesterday morning, was the great
topic of discussion about the city yes
terday, and there was a general ex
pression of deep regret at his demise.
Mr. Handley hud for a long time
Buffered greatly from stomach and
other troubles, and bis death was di
rectly due to uffectlons of the digestive
organs. At his bedside when he died
were Dr. W. K. Allen. Dr. N. Y. I-eet.
Franklin Howell and John T. Rich
ards. The executors named In Mr. Hand-
ley's will yesterday assumed charge of
his affairs. They are his attorneys, It.
W. Palmer, of Wllkes-Harre, and
Lemuel Amerman, of Scranton, and
John T. Richards, who was for years
cashier of the Merchants and Mechan
ics' bank of this city, of which "Mr.
Handley was for years president. I p to
the time of his death he continued to be
one of the largest individual owners of
the stock of that Institution. The exact
amount of his estate his executors re
fuse to make known, but It is believed
thut It amounts to $2,500,000. 'He car
ried Insurance policies aggregating
$160,000. His real estate In this city
consisted of the Wyoming House, with
the stores attached to it on Lacka
wanna and Wyoming avenues. The
plot of ground occupied by these build
ings Is the largest owned by any indi
vidual In the center of the city, and
this property would undoubtedly bring
half a million of dollars if pluced on
the market.
i Refused Offer of $250,000.
Another property cwned by Mr.
Handley is the marble block at Wyom
ing avenue and Spruce street, for which
he refused an offer of $250,000. He
owned the buildings Occupied by the
Merchants and Mechanics' and Scran
ton Trust and Savings Bank buildings,
the buildings at 477 and 226 Lackawan
na avenue, besides lots on Pentv avenue
and coal lartd In Mlnooka and Peckvlile.
In the south he also had extensive
Interests. On the Kanawa river in West
Virginia he owned 17,000 acres of land,
the great part of which Is underlaid by
coal. A mining town on 'this tract of
land has been named after him. At
Winchester, Va., he owned a large
hotel and other property.
Mr. Handley was born in Dublin, ire-
land, on Jan. 7, 1835, and was there
fore 60 years of age. He emigrated to
this country at an early age, but of
his antecedents or boyhood days but
little Is known, as he was very reticent
about them. He was what Is known
ns a self-educated man, never having
had the advantages of a liberal educa
tion In either school or academy, but
he had a fine, Intellect, a good memory
and was an omnlverous reader, and be
fore reaching manhood he had acquired
a better education along practical lines
than many graduates of universities
possess.
When a young man he obtained a
position In one of the departments at
Washington, where his towering form
and dignified bearing attracted much
attention. He had for a companion a
young man who was one inch taller
than himself, and the Judge often told
with evident enjoyment of the days
when he was a department clerk and
with his companion was Invited to head
all manner of parades on account of
their size.
Came to Scranton.
In the dark days when war clouds
hovered over the land Mr. Handley
came to Scranton with the Intention of
making It his ppfmiiiient home. He
had read law while a clerk at Washing
ton, been admitted to the bar und when
he came to Scranton he took up the
practice of his profession, and soon
became a most conspicuous figure at the
Luzerne county bar.
He hud a genius for politics and lead
ership and rapidly acquired a strong
following among the Democrats of the
cour.tv. He made Bcures of warm
political friends throughout this valley
who adhered to him so strongly that
they became known us "Handley Demo
crats." Among those devoted followers
were many of the most prominent of
the old-time merchunts, each of whom
In turn was a leader of some mugnl
tudo among his Immedlute neighbors
and It was these men that made Mr.
Handley an Important factor In the
politics of old Luzerne and of Lacka
wanna after It was organized. Mr.
Handley In 1874 sought the Democratic
nomination for judge of old Luzerne
His opponent was (ieorge Bedford, of
Wllkes-Harre, and they contested for
the honor of a nomination with right
good will. The strong personal follow
ing of the Scranton candidate told In
the Btruggle and he was successful and
found himself pitted ugalnst the late
General Osborne, who was the Repub
lican nominee. The man from Scranton
wus again successful, und In January
1875, took his seat on the bench of . Lu
zerne county.
Characteristics as a Judgo.
In 1879, after the creation of Lacka
wanna county, he was assigned to act
as president judge here. He wus a
man of naturally dignified bearing. It
was not a studied effort and he never
appeared Btlff or ntllted. He possessed
a most courteous nature and great kind
ness, and never wounded the feelings of
the members of the bar if it could be
avoided. To young practitioners he
wus especially kind and made their path
as smooth as possible. He never called
attention to errors In papers presented
to him, no matter how glaring they
might be, but saw that they were put
In proper form without any one being
the wiser. Frequently during the trial
of an Important case when the court
room would be crowded, he would notice
some law student struggling for a posl
tlon where he could listen to the details
of the trial, and calling a tipstaff would
direct that a seat be procured for the
voung man.
To those who had business with the
courts, especially Jurors and litigants
from the rural districts, he displayed
great courtesy and thoughtfulness for
their comfort. He possessed good judg
ment and depended more upon It than
deep knowledge of the law In disposing
of cases and In ruling on the motions
that arise during the trial of cases.
Whpn he retired from tho bench In
1885, after the memorable battle of the
previous fall he devoted himself almost
entirely to his business Interests. That
fight was. the most- desperate ever
fought in this county. The factions of
the Democratic party were arrayeu
against each other and no quarter was
asked for or given. The party has
never recovered from the effects of that
battle.
While Mr. Handley was. most liberal
and gave money away with a lavish
hand, he was a most exacting business
man and insisted that those who did
business with him fulfil their agree
ments to the letter. He held unswerv
ingly to this rule and thereby, among
many, achieved the reputation of being
close and Jiard-flsted.
He had a wonderful business faculty
and an equally wonderful capacity for
work. He personally looked after the
most minute details of his affairs.
Nothing seemed to escape. In the
preparation and trial of cases as a law
yer he displayed the same painstaking,
thorough, methodical manner. His of
fice, arrangement of his papers and his
library showed that this attention to
details was an Inseparable part of the
man.
Though he never frequented the
places where men usually congregate,
he was by no means an unsociable man.
He belonged to no societies or clubs,
did not attend churches or theaters,
and of lute years wus seen on the
streets only at Infrequent Intervals
Apparently he craved for neither en
joyment or excitement, but he did like
the society of well Informed men of the
world, and in the companionship of
such became one of the most genial
and companionable of men. He had an
inexhaustible supply of stories and
reminiscences with which he was wont
to illustrate his discourse.
Colonel F. J. Fltzslmmons, who was
for many years a close personal friend
of ex-Judge Handley said yesterday
that the latter was one of the most
wonderful men Scranton has ever
known. In fact, In his opinion, the
country has known few such men.
Ho Was a liroud Mun.
"He was," said Mr. Fltzslmmons,
one of the most courteous men I ever
knew, as well of the most kind-hearted.
He was a broad-minded man and ex
tended his charities without question
as to the religion or creed of the re
cipient of his bounty. He gave to every
one who approached him for alms or
who solicited for a deserving purpose.
What he gave was for pure charity's
sake. There was no ostentation about
him. Though he gave to almost every
charitable object, h'is real name never
appeared on uny of the subscription
books.
"He wns an omnlverous reader, and
his favorite historical charapter was
Nunoleon, whom he admired beyond
measure. It will be- some time before
we will see another such a man in
Scranton."
Judge Hand, president of the Lacka
wanna liar association, has called a
meeting of that body for 11 o'clock this
morning at the court house to take ac
tion on Mr. Hundley's death. At 4
o'clock tomorrow afternoon the re
mains will be taken from his apart
ments over the Merchants' and Me
chanics' bank and services will be con
ducted at St. Luke's. Kpiseopal church,
anu arier ine services me puuuc win
be permitted to view the remains. The
pall bearers will be ex-Judge O. M
Harding, of Wllkes-Harre; Judge H. M
Edwards, ex-Judge W. G. Ward, ex-
Justice Alfred Hand, ex-Judge H. A
Knupp, Judge F. W. Gunster, Hon. L.

VVUlard, W. F. Hallstead. James Jor
dan, James J. Williams. P. 11. Flnley,
F. R. White, A. D. Holland and T. F.
Leonard.
The body will be taken to Winches
ter, Va., for Interment at 9.55 Monday
morning. The burial will be made on
Tuesday In Judge Hundley's plot ut
Winchester. ,
Disposition of His Estate.
There is much speculation as to the
probable disposition of Mr. Hundley's
large estate, but his executors refuse
to give any Intimation that would help
to solve the riddle. They were chosen
from among the men who were closest
to him and in whom he had the greatest
confidence.
Mr. Handley frequently Intimated
that he Intended In his will to liberally
endow some Institution ano it was
probable that at one time he had in
mind the location of some endowed
cducutlonal institution in this city. Hut
he was highly displeased when the
city councils designated the street In
front of the Wyoming house as a huy
murket, bpcauoe he would not pave
with the same kind of material as the
rest of the street. At that time he said
the hay market ordinance would cost
the city $1,000,000. Many believed he
will endow an Institution at Kounoke,
Va.
Rumor has It thnt he leaves large
sums to the Home for the Friendless,
Albright library, churches of the city
and for the erection of a town hall at
Winchester, Va.
Iu the prothonotary's office Is a mark
showing the height of Mr. Hundley.
He stood against the wall one day and
allowed Deputy Prothonotary Kasson
to record his height there along with
some of the other tall men of the coun
ty. He leads them all by several
Inches, being six feet and Beven Inches
In height. A special casket had to be
made for his remains, the regular sizes
not being lurge enough. Miller & Co
are making the casket, which will be
six feet and ten Inches In length.
Mr. Handley left no children or Im
mediate relatives In this country. His
only brother, Michael Handley, died
Borne years ago In Wisconsin. He has
many relatives In Dublin, Ireland, how
ever.

OLDEN TYME CONCERT.
Delightful livening at the Green Kldgc

"Songs of Ye Olden Tyme" wore .very
appropriately rendered by quaintly-attired
musicians In the lecture room of
the Green Ridge Prcsbyterlun church
last evening under the nble director
ship of Charles F. Whlttemore. The
fume of the choir hud attracted Bueh
a number thut extra chulrs hud to be
provided. The performers, about thlr
ty-llvo In number, were tired lit cos
tunics of the old English style and pre
sen ted u most picturesque appearance
on the platform.
The concert opened with a selection
by Conrad's orchestra, ufter which the
choir sung "Majesty" und "Sherburne."
The lutter tune Is peculiarly typical of
the popular sacred music of the early
part of the century, In English churches
und the hearty and free manner In
which It was sung was a natural re
production of the work of the early
choristers and musical congregations.

When the advertising atmosphere is st
heavily charged with exaeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions advertising goods
at impossible prices, find no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this storcjs the triumph uf
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been ttp to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attraetiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add-
ed another and more taking attraction
REDUCED PRICES, natural order of
things here at this season; LOWER
PRICES than you find ELSEWHERE.
