We have some facts in our possession concerning

under weekly salary paid him by Jarret s. Pal

per week, besides his arrangement with Jarret &

Thursday, and, though he had been com;
TO take medical advice. Friday Mr.. Ford was at

when over-Zealous friends pander to their vanity

to Mr.. Ford he could have given 1t properly and
had the public fully advised Of his Judgment and
Intentions under the circumstances Instead of
that he only became aware Of the emergency In
the cars on his way TO Baltimore, and had to jump
from them to get back to the city to aid his brother
Harry In doing what was done. The loss to Mr..
Rignold was nothing-to the public It was q Sc
rious disappointment, and to Mr.. Ford consld-

remand Mr.. Elliott to his proper place as watch
