We call the attention of the readers of
THE WING To the card of Miss Marie Davis
which appears for the first time in this is
sue. Miss Davis, who is former resident
of Mitchell, Ontario, has decided to make
her home in Elkton and will give lessons in
instrumental music. Pupils will be in
structed either at the residence of Mrs. A.
l. Wilkinson or at their homes, they de-
sire. Miss Davis is young lady of unusual
musical talent and particularly proficient on
the piano.
George Coslett, an inmate of the Cecil
county Insane Asylum escaped on Tuesday
from that institution. Mr.. CosletU has been
under restraint for some time, having been
at Spring Grove before the county asylum
was built. He with other inmates was
given the freed ON of the yard during GER
tain hours OF the the day. The yard is en-
closed with high board fence, which
Cosett succeeded in scaling. The other
inmates did not inform the superintendent
saying thaS they supposed their companion
intended coming back. The unfortunate
man is a member of well known Cecil
county family. He also has relatives in
Lancaster county where he may have gone.
He is not regarded as dangerous and is only
insane at times. His periods of insanity
come about once in two or three weeks.
During this time he is detected, talks fool
ish!y and refuses to eat. When he is not
under the influence of one of these attacks
he is bright and laxative, very fond of
reading particularly on scientific subjects.
The superintendent has beeE on the lookout
for him. The unfortunate man had just
recovered from one of his attacks.
The debris was cleaned away theron
ruins of the Howard House stables on Sat
urday last. What remained of the carcasses
of the horses were carted away on that day.
DIR. HI. III. Mitchell is making preparations
to build new stables. They will be con-
structed much farther back from the hotel
than were the ones destroyed. Mr.. Lieber-
man, it is said, will not rebuild the stable ON
his premises. The fire occurring on press
day in the hurry necessary to the prepare
ton of our report, we omitted a number of
names OF persons who performed valuable
service in preventing the spread of the fire.
Besides those mentioned in our last issue
among the active workers were John Nj.
Tucker, DIR. Howard Bratton, Samuel H.
King, Wesley Freeman, Rev. Father Carey,
John Kennedy Alexander jackson. Wilmer
Witworth, Charles Queck, Daniel Purnell,
Joseph Simmons, George Sterling, Thomas
Freeman, Joshua Ash, William Wilson,
Theodore Albright, James Chambers, Don
Price, Harry Lee, Harry Marshbank, Rich
ard Marshbauk, VIM. Wilson, and Victor
Bennett. Rev. Father Carey did good SER
vice by having the Catholic Church bell
rung. Many persons living in west EIktou
learned of the fire in this way, not hearing
the Court House bell.
