AGAINST HANDLEY HEIR.
Judge Acheson Has Handed Down
an Opinion,

In the suit of Irish cousins of the
late Judge John Handley to have them
selves, as next of kin, substituted for
the City of Winchester as residuary
legatee. Judge ACheson has decided
that their contention is erroneous and
that the will must stand.
The claimants alleged that the City
of Winchester could no, accept the be-
quest as it's purpose, the education
of the poor" was not germane to the
objects of the municipality; and also
that this clause of the will must fall
because of the uncertainty of the pur-
poes, the education of the poor
Judge Acheson says that the city can
accept the bequest under the laws of
the state of in which the testator had
his domicile, and these laws, he ayers,
governs in this case. He denies that
there is anything uncertain about the
purpose of the bequest. The famous
blank, Schedule A." he says has no
effect whatever on the will. which he
characterizes as a perfect instrument.
legally executed.
The claimants are directed to pay
the costs. The residuary estate in dis
pute would amount to about $4,000, 900.

TESTIMONY FOR DEFENSE
offered Yesterday in the Impeach-
ment Proceedings Against Alder
man John P. Kelly-The Wit
nesses Who Were Sworn.

The defense in the Kelly impeach-
ment case yesterday began the task of
explaining away the discriminating evil
dence produced by Prosecutor G. NJ.
DeLong.
One of the cases taken up was the
alleged fictitious suit against John j.
Grady, of Monkey Run. Constable
James w. Clarke testified that he ar
rested Grady and started to take him
to Scranton. At Carbondale, while
going along i'm the trolley car, Grady
saw man who would go his bail he
said. The constable took him off the
car. the man was interviewed. and,
upon agreeing to go Grady's bail, the
trio repaired to Alderman j. f. Atkin-
sons office i'm Carbondale, where Grady
waived a hearing and entered bail.
Alderman Atkinson went on the stand
and cOrroborated Constable Clark as to
the taking of bail.
In two other alleged fictitious cases,
in which John Petten and Mary irwin.
of Wilkes Barre, were named as de-
PENDANTS, Officer John Tierney testi-
fled that he served the warrants and
also that he was present when the
prosecutors made the information. He
made two trips to Wilkes-B Barre in
each case which explained the un-
usually large amount OF costs taxed up
on the transcript In the Patten case
the defendant gave bail before Alder
man Moyles, of Wilkes Barre.
D. b. Powers took the stand and
swore that he was witness of Robert
j. Johnson's cross when he signed a
warrant in another alleged fictitious
case.
Additional testimony was also pre-
sented to substantiate the allegation
that the prosecution was malicious.
Philip Boose Swore that he only signed
the petition for Kclly's impeachment
at the solicitation of DeLong and an
other man, whom he did not know.
John Steiber. who at a previous hear
ing swore that his signature was placed
on the petition without his knowledge
was recalled to testify that Mr.. De-
Long after the hearing, told him in a
threatening way that his denial would
cost him $1,000. When placed on the
stand, Steiber said that DeLong mere
ly said to him. "Your action will cost
me $3,000'

Workmen were engaged yesterday in
clearing up the ruins Of Thursday
mornings fire at Dunmore. Some of
the firemen about the scene fell into
a reminiscent mood and discussed the
many disastrous fires that have taken
place within a radius of a block from
the corners during the last ten years.
There Is not spot of territory in
Pennsylvania of equal size that has
suffered to an equal extent from the
ravages of fire during that period.

streets. was laid i'm ashes and the
Boland building, adjoining it, dam
aged.
McDonalds hotel. on East Drinker
street near Chestnut. was destroyed
on the morning Of May 81. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of
tirebugs, as three unsuccessful at
tempts had been made to fire the place
before its final destruction.
FIRES OF 1881
There were two big fires at the COR
ners in 1897. In August, three build
ings owned by Frost. at the corner of
Chestnut and East Drinker streets,
were laid low. Later in the year there
was another early morning fire and
two barns owned by the Flynn estate,
one by 7. =. Letchworth, one by James
Matter and one by Thomas Young. to-
gether with the house of Thomas Ders-
himer, were destroyed.
In July % 1894. the two Stanton
buildings, at Blakely and West Drinker
I streets, were consumed.
On April II, 1892, a fire started on
| East Drinker street, near Chestnut,
which destroyed the buildings of II.

and Blakely streets corner had another
| disastrous fire. ThSee buildings owned
| by John Stanton one by T. f.. Boland,
| one by the Collins estate and one by
| Ira Tripp were laid in ashes. The
| flames sent great tongues across Blake

| Boyle store building, doing great dam
age to it.
| SOME OTHER FIRES.
The biggest fire of 1890 started in the
| rear of Hubbard & Aliens store. at
| East Drinker and Chestnut streets,
and destroyed four buildings owned by
Frost. Three were Of brick, one was

POOR BOARD WON'T ORGANIZE
Waiting to Learn the Identity of
Terppe's Successor

The poor board did not reorganize
last night. All six members met for
that purpose in a session adjourned
from Friday of last week, but another
adjournment was made to Friday OF
next week, the day for the regular
semi-weekly meeting.
The failure to organize is due to the
failure of court to appoint a successor
TO f. l.. Terppe, the director who re-
Gently resigned. The presence of Mr..
Terppe's successor is not legal neces-
sity. but the present members wish to
