IrrtrA TTH WANT PART OF THE HANDLEY ESTATE EQUITY SUIT TO BE TrIIED AT WILLIAMBPORT. It Hns Been Brought By Sixteen Al leged First Cousins of tha Lato Judge HtiudleyThey Want to Possess Themselves of tho Heslduo of Hla Estate, n'lMatter of Nearly $2,000,000, When It Becomes Available Twenty Years Hcnco. What They Claim. ' Unless nnother Interruption occurs next Tuesday will witness the openlnjc of one of the most Important trials that has of recent years occupied the attention of the United States circuit court In this district mid one which will doubtlessly bo famous for years to come for the visor with which tho op posing sides will rontPiid. It Is the e-qultj suit in which sixteen alleged llrst cousins of the late Judge John Handley arc trying to possess themselves of the residue of hi estate, n. matter of nearly J2.0C0.000 when it becomes available, twenty years hence. Leaving out the minor gifts. Judge Uandley's will bequeathed specifically JJSn.000 to the Clt of Winchester to l.ulld a public library: $50,000 to St. Patrick's Orphan asylum and $?5,000 to the House of tho Good Shepherd It then went on to direct that ceitaln coal and lumber lands In Virginia nnd Vst Virginia fchuuld bo maiketed and that the proceeds should go to the City of Winchester, St Patrick's Orphan asvlum nnd House of the Good Shep herd In the proportion of 33 1-3 per cent, each Whether this was to bo applied to pjlng tho speclfo bequests or to bo considered an additional be quest Is a disputed matter. Judge Archbald decided that It wa3 to be ronfltlercel in the light of an ad ditional bequest. In an opinion deal ing with the Income ta fcatuiu of the case.but tho claimants contend against his finding and will lime tho United States courts pass upon It In dlcpos lns of the piesent cat,e. THE HESIDUARY ESTATE. Even though thfso revenues from the southern coal and timber lands f-hould bo decreed to bo additional s-poclal bequests theie Is still a large residuary estate well worth I'ghtlng for. How much It amount to Is not known by the claimants, but It Is un derstood that the Seranton real estate holdings form the bulk of It. The claimants, to summarize, want the whole estate, with the execution of the original spcclllc bequests to Win chester, the Oiphonac". the House of the Good Shepherd nnd the minor ones to servants and the like, but If tho couit decides that the disputed clauso means that the Virginia coal nnd tim ber land revenues nie an additional specific bequest, then they want the Seranton real estate and whatever oth er residue the estate may develop at settlement. The item covering the ret-lduary es tate reads as follows: Item All tho rest and roleluo of mv estate I gle, elcviu and bequeath to tho city of Winchester, Virginia, to be ac cumulated by said city for the period of twenty 'ears. The Income arising from said resldiio to be expended and laid out Ir. said city, in the erection of school houses for tho education of the poor. After securing fiom court a decision as to what part of the property was specifically bequeathed which of course under the law! they cannot claim they will proceed to prove their kinship and make demand for the residuary estate on the ground that the city of Westchester can not legally be the residuary legatee, the law nnd the conditions of the will prohibiting it. GROUNDS Or CONTENTION. The grounds of this contention as alleged In the bill are substantially as follows: 1. The city of Winchester has not tho corporato capacity to take the said be quest or dexl'-o In trust In Its favor, cr to administer the Kirne upon the uses mentioned; It being a municipal corpora tion, and tho itirpoo to which the mid bequest is to bo devoted, not being ger main to tho functions of said corpora, tlon, or, to tho purposes for which It was created 2. The objects cr pin poses and the par ticular hem Ikiarles intended by the pro visions of said jeslduary clauso are un certain and undefined. 3. The ald resldnaty clauso Is In re straint of the alienation of leal prop erty and Ir. suipcnslon of the absolute ownership cf pgisonal propertv for a per iod longer than Is allowed b the btatute. In a nutshell, thej contend that there is a residuary estate cither larjf or small; that the City of Winchester Is prohibited from becoming the residu ary legatee and that they being next of kin must bo substituted for the Cltv of Winchester as tho residuary legatee. Tho seventeen alleged first cousin of the flec.Pd.int are Henry Handley, of Tacoma. Washington Mai tin Hand ley nnd Margaiet Mcculloch, of Sav annah. N. Y Henrv Handley, of South nutler. N Y . Patrick Murphy, of Torus, Maine. Mnigaret Colburn, of nnllyguuon, Kllmuckrldge, County Wexfoid. Ireland, John Handley, Bal lyhublock. County Wesford. Iieland: BHdget Handley and Anastasla Hand ley.

England, and Margaret Boothby, Uv eipool, England. OTHER FIRST COUSINS. Four other "llrst cousins of the whole blood." Thomas Murphy, of Dublin; Margait Murphy of Dalkly Mary Murphy, of Garey and George Murphy, of Bailygatton. refused to Join In the cult. Of course, the executors of tho es tate are stoutly denying that these twenty "first cousins of the wholn blooJ" ar r-!utlves of any kind of the late Judgo Handley and wilt present depositions taken by themselves in Ireland to show thnt Judge Handley was not thu lazy lout ot a Johnnie Handley that ran away from his home in Ennlscarthy half a century ago to pck his fojtuni in America. The claimants, on tho other hand, say there will be no dllniitilty about prwlng hlnshlpr mil that remains to bn settled Is us to how much of the "tatj Is residual y or In other words, iholts. The case has Its humorous fe-tture like every other story. The claimants my that It was how the famous blank "Schedule A" was drafted by their cousin John with a view of providing therein for them and his personal friends. Preoccupation by tho Judge or something of that sort robbed them of direct remembrance. The case was to have been tried at the March term of court In this city, but by postponement went over to tho Wllllamsport session. Jessup & Jcssup nnd C. H. Welles, of this city, nnd George It. Starr, of New York, are at torneys for tho claimants Hon. 11. W. Palmer, of Wllkes-Bane: Major Holmes Conind, of Winchester, -sollcltor general under President Cloveland, and It. M. Ward, also of Winchester are the defendants of tho will. 4-4- -T-f?V4 4- TTTV MATCC CITY NOTES f 4 f t f f 4- f 4-1 -t 4- 4- HELD IN HAIL.-Vor nthgeri wlfo bint, lug, Jumen Barrett, of I'ruvldenco road, wns held In 3"0 ball by Aldermuli Mlllur yesterday.

Palmer, Chief En gineer of the Amphltrlte, Now Visiting This City, Talks Inter estingly of the Navy nnd Has Something to Say on tho Sampson Schley Matter Monitors and Span ish Gunnery Not Held In Very High Regard By the Lieutenant. Lieutenant J. E. ralmr, of the Unit ed States navy, Is spending a part of his leave of abacn-o with hl3 friend C. M. Price, of thla city. Lleutanuut Pal mer Is a graduate of the naval acad emy, class of c'3, anil during the war was attached to the Monitor Amphl trlte, participating In the bombard ment of San Juan, Porto lllco, and tho blockade of Havana. Lieutenant Palmer Is not .t ready enthusiastic admir,- of monitors and If It were not that it would be In bad tasto for an officer to ciltlcl:-o his su periors ho could no doubt be egged on to say that it Is ji waste of money for the government to build any more of them. They nre adapted only for harbor de fense, Lieutenant Palmer says, and when one considers the haidshlp that service on them entails and the fact that tho larger and swifter vessels will answer the same purpose It Is ques tionable whether or not n navy Is bet teied by any considerable number of thtm He had tho position of chief engineer mi the Amphltrlte and In consequence had to spend most of his time In tho engine room. Tho normal tsniper.ituro there Is 15G degroos, but when under full head It goes much higher, the low freeboarel allows oven the ordin ary swell of the ocean to wash over tho decks. The Amphltrlte1 ro'ln twenty-one times to the minute a against eight times that the New York or other large vessels roll. Fom this It can be readily seen what a pooi shoot ing platform a monitor afford.). MADE A GO )D RECORD. Notwithstanding tnls the Amphltrlte made a good record at San Juan, being credited with oni of the b.st shots of tho engagement, dismantling a bat tery of three gun"! at four miles with one of her ten Inch barkers. Lieutenant Palmer In cor.tmnn with other men of tho navy holds Spanish gunnery Is utter contempt. The night before the San Juan engagement ho said tho ofllcers oacked uo their pr scnal belongings and gave directions to their chums as to what to do in case anything serious happen1!. They were a pretty solemn lot that night, he says, but aftir being under fire for a half an btur or so they were moved to ihuqIi it their die-ad fore bodings of tho night before. "The gunnery of llie Spanlauls was a continual .urp.-ise," he sell, "the-y weren't capable of doing even good guess wink and If they hail tried to avoid hitting us thoycouldnothavesuc ceeded better. It did not take us long to see that If wo were hit that it would be only by chance and from the time of this discovery on wo were perfectly at ease and paid no more heed to the booming of their guns that if they were so many bats of the base drum When we left San Juan to tako part In the blockade of Havana wo were given orders not to go within six miles of the coast. Very often Just to worry the gunners In the coast fortifications a monitor or some llkocraftwoulddash straight In towards land and nfter getting within easy range would stand off In a taunting way while tho Spanish gunners woulel pepper away In the rain endenvor to hit something near their target. "After a time the tnunter would swing her stern to the enemy nnd slow ly &team back to the blockading line." DOING BLOCKADE DUTY. The Amphltrlte went on blockade duty April 30 and did not get In touch with the world again for 21 days. The news of Dewey's victory was twenty days old when they received It. Speaking of the Sampson-Schley matter. Lieutenant Palmer said that the miserable controversy Is a matter of tho deepest regret throughout tho whole navy and that Sampson and Schley regret It above all others. They ore warm personal friends and In every way have the highest regard for each other as men nnd ofTleeis. Tho whole navy, Lieutenant Palmer says, recognize the wisdom of appoint ing Sampson In charge of the Atlantic squadron. Ho above any other man was peculiarly fitted for the position by reason of his service with Sicard and consequent familiarity with the Cuban coasts and for the further rea bon that he was held by the navy to possess more executive ability than any other available man. Schley is a dashing, brave officer, but he Is not to be compared for an Instant with Sampson In the matter of executive nblllty. One marked dif ference between tho two men Is that Schley has a glad hand for the news papermen while Sampson treats them not only not courteously but coldly. Sampson is completely broken down In health from the great mental strain and physical hardships he underwent duilng his campaign off Cuba. Naval officers without execcptlon are proud of Hobson's achievement, Lieu tenant Palmer says. They are not like the nrmy officers who are Jealous of each other and striving to detract fiom the glory of some of their number who may win a little distinction. Naval officers not only laud their own heroes but want everybody else to do so. MYSTERIOUS MORNING FIRE. Took Place In tho Apartment of Jen nie Robblns. The cause of a fire in tho npartment of Jennie Bobbins at 618 Lackawanna avenuo yesterday morning was as my sterious as the cause of u pievlous blaze there early In July. The Bobbin's woman occupies1 the second and third ffooi3 of tho build ing which Is owned by B. Most?. Three men were making themselves at home In tho rooms late Thursday night but nobody was about at C SO o'c'.oi'k when tho firemen responded to the alarm from box 26 at tho corner of Washington and Lackawanna avenups. The llames were In a bed room In tha middle of the second floor and had been burning about an hour when tlij firemen entered. The tiro had destioy ed everything In the room and burned upward through tho third floor to the roof. About twenty-five minutes of hard work by the firemen was re quired to subdue the flames. The damage to the building amount id to $1,000 and to the contents of the second and third floors was about $300. Both losses are fully covered by Insur ance. The building Is rented outright to John J. Shea, proprietor of the saloon on the street floor and who sub lets the upper floors. Mr. Shea's place was damaged about $100 by water. Flro on the Hill. Lively work by the occupants and neighbors prevented a. disastrous fire early yesterday morning In the house occupied by John Frutchlo nnd owned by r. E. Wood. Clothes hanging near the kitchen stove caught flro and com municated the flames to the woodwork, An nlarm was sounded nt 6.33 o'clock from box 19. Several men were for tunately In the vicinity nnd had the flames partly subdued when tho lire companies urrlved. OhcmlcrJ. extin guishers from the Relief nnd Century wagons completed the work. The dam age to the building and contents was not over S1C0. WEATHER IN AUGUST. Observor H. E. Paluo Has Compiled Elgures That Are of Great In terestWas a Warm Month. I H. E. Paine, local voluntary weather observer, has a very Interesting re port for the weather of tho last month. Few months have been as peculiar from a weather observer's point of view as August. In dealing with weather reports now-n-days most of us llrst speak of how hot or cool It was or It Is. Well during August the highest of maximum tem perature was 91 degrees, being that on August 24. Tho lowest or minimum temperature was 43 degrees for August 28. The maximum mean temperature for tho month wns 2.77 and tho mini mum tcmpeiaturo was 60.40 degrees. Adding these two and dividing by two one easily finds the mean temperature for the month as 71.32 degrees. The mean range over which the tempera ture travelled Is recorded ns 22.30. Often hand In hand with tempera ture lluctatlons wo have humidity. Naturally we revert to tho dava as being fair, clear or cloudy. Surplslng as It may seem the clear days number 14, partly cloudy 10, and cloudy 7. Out of tho seven cloudy days we got four big thunder storms nnd on August 4, one of the severe thunderstorms which will bo recalled happened on Saturday evening. Is recorded as having tho heaviest precipitation or rain fall. .90 Inches Is the recorded depth. For the whole month the precipita tion Is recorded ns 3.S2 Inches. Au gust 3 nnd 10 each had .02 Inches, which was the lowest for the month. Though there were seventeen days partly cloudy or cloudy there were only twelve days upon which rain fell. Ap parently tho rain fall occurred more frequently during tho p. in. than a. m., as a glance over tho recordeel hours of beginning and ending would Indicate. During the month tho winds were south or west, or southwest, so the prevailing winds are recorded ns south west. September, now opening, ap pears to have accepted tho legacy of tho last two. weeks of August so far as high tempeiature Is concerned, and Is sustaining the lecord left by Au gust.
