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. Ennlscuithy, County Wexford,
Ireland. Eliza Ellen Slnnntt, Bollygur
tln, County Wexford, Ireland; Eliza
Sandeis, Birkenhead, Cheshire, Eng
land: John Handley, Isle of Wight.
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.

PROPER MAN IN
THE PROPER PLACE
SAMPSON SO BEOAItDED BY
OFFICERS OF THE NAVY.
Lloutenant J. E. 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. CONCERT AT LAUREL HILL.
