American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-07-08

obtained of Louis Cummings, the murderer OF
Lepat Carter on the afternoon of the 4th inst.
Captain Clifford, (the High Constable,) and
officer Moon, have returned from an excursion
into Pennsylvania, but their expedition and ex-
ertions proved unsuccessful in learning any
thing ofhs probable whereabouts 1t is stated
on good authority that Cummings was seen on
the afternoon the murder was committed, in a
leather top carry-all, in company with several
other persons, driving out the Madison street
road at a rapid gait; and it is currently reported
that the horse which was used on the occasion
died from over-driving the same night. We
would ask if there is not law OF the State
which makes it criminal offence TO aid or
abet criminals or fugitives from justice to es-
cape arrest? Why is this law not entorced'--
The parties who aided in this case are known.
Will the officers of justice see to lt we have
been furnished with the following description
of the person Of Cummings, which may assist
in his capture: He is represented as about 25 to
2S years of age, is five feet eight or nine inches
| in height, with full chest, square shoulders,
and stout make-has sandy hair, little in
clining to the red, short behind-grey eyes, a
short nose slightly turned up-face rather
round and full, slightly freckled-when in con-
versatien, has a loud, strong voice, and speaks
positively. There are, it is believed, marks of
Indian ink on one or both of his arms. He
wore a tweed frock coat, and white hat with
Grape around it, on the day of the murder
Generally wears his neck handkerchief very
low, exposing his neck. lie has at all times a
sullen look, and in costume, as well as general
appearance, repr esents pretty accurately what
is termed "rowdy."
Ne,U Church. We perceive that workmen
are engaged in clearing the large lot of ground
lately occupied by Messrs. Samuel House &
Sons, as Lumber Yard, on the North west
col ner of Saratoga and Paca streets Hands
are also employed in digging the foundation of
a new Baptist church, which it is purposed to
erect on the lot. We learn that the building
will be ofan elegant style of architecture and
design, and when finished will vie in appear
ance with any similar one in the city. The
! laying of the brick will be commenced as soon
as possible, and the building pushed rapidly
tow ards completion, and when finished will add
much 10 the appearance of that fast improving
section of the city.
Returned Home. The Independent Crews,
under Major Law, arrived at home by the cars
from Philadelphia about halfpast O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. They were received by
the Independent Blues, Lieut.. Luchesi COM
handing, and escorted around the city for
short time, and afterwards to their armory.-
The Greys looked exceedingly we'll after their
trip, and express themselves in the highest
terms of their reception, and the Inequalities
extended to them in Philadelphia by both the
military and the citizens Should the oppor-
tunity offer, the Greys are the men to fully re-
ciprocate the favors received.
Inquest Coroner Bowman held an inquest
yesterday morning at the "Mount Clare" Mill,
at Gwynn's Falls, on the Washington road,
over a colored woman, which was discovered
| floating in the mill race on Monday evening,
and taken out by Mr.. Edward Norwood and
his assistant. The body appeared to have been
in the water from six to eight days. She APP
peared to be about thirty years ofage, and was
dressed in a calico frock; no one knew her
The verdict of the jury was that "the deceased
was supposed to have come to her death by
drowning"
The Lexington Market House. We are glad
to see that this fine market house has been
| thoroughly whitewashed, and cleansed out by
hose attached TO the hydrants. Such removal
ton is most desirable to both buyers and sellers,
especially during the warm weather, and we
hope SO good an example may be followed up
in all the market houses of the city. The Lex
ington market is certainly at this time, mod
ell Tor cleanliness.

yesterday afternoon by coroner Spencer, over
the body of small lad named William III. T.
Boulder, who was accidentally drowned about

yard. He had been in bathing, and not being

Pire. The coach factory of the Messrs
Pryor, in Frederick street, near Baltimore street.
was discovered to be on fire last evening about
half past seven O'Clock. The roof was on fire
near the chimney, and but for the nely arri-
val ofthe Friendship fire company, considerable
damage would doubtless have ensued. 1t was
soon put out however, with little loss.
Narrow Escape. Yesterday morning about
8 O'Clock a small child of Mr.. Francis, who re-
sides at the corner of High and Addison streets,
got possession of vial containing half an ounce
of laudanum, which it Immediately drank. DR..
Leonard was called in Immediately, and proper
antidotes being given, no serious consequences
resulted. Persons cannot be too careful in
leaving dangerous medicines in places where
young children can obtain them; many fatal
accidents might be avoided.

Paul's street, opposite the Masonic Hall, was
entered on last Thursday, and the following ar
