WINCHESTER. Va, Feb. 10Th. lS95.-Judge
Handley, President of Equity Company buried
here to-day. He leaves Winchester his i'm
mense fortune about two million. dollars-all
to be expended here City gets his entire es-
tate with the exception OF 100000 special be-
quests TO charitable institutions in Scranton.
Why Judge Handley left Scranton "out in
the cold" is explained by John T. Richards
cashier of the Judges bank. When Judge
Handley came to Scranton, thirty-fye years
ago, he had not ore cent. In the short span
of one lie the developing city yielded him
enormous riches He cut it off without a cent
because the councils, indignant because he
would not pave in front of his big hotel. the
Wyoming House, made the unsightly place
haymarket, where the farmers exposed loads
OF hay and their produce for sale This was
costly councilmanic joke, for Judge Handey
aiterwarI remarked that it would cost the city
of Scranton 100000 and it probably cost it
considerably more than this.
A blue limestone shaft, eight or nine feet
high, has been erected by the B. & 0. r. r.
Co. to mark the site of the "John Brown
Fort" at Harper's Ferry. It is not monu-
ment to John Brown, else we should be
greved that the appropriate inscription,
"John Browns first victim at Harper's Fer
ry was an industrious, inofensiye cOlored
man." had been omitted.
