in Lexington Jail, and the solicitor was
notified to-day that an application for

while away the time tolerably well.

and Judge Walter O. Gresham was
made his successor.
The last time the judges voice was

quet in 1888. At that gathering Judge
Drummond presided, and he thrilled
those present with tive-minute extern
pOraneOuS speech.
The name of Thomas Drummond has
| for nearly forty years been prominent in
| Illinois, as he was among the oldest and
most respected of the judiciary in the
State. He was born at Bristol Mills,
Lincoln county, Maine, where his grand
father, a native of Scotland, had settled
sometime prior to the revolutionary war.
His father, the Hon. James Drummond,
had been both farmer and a seafaring
man, and was for some years a member
of the State Legislature. His death &C.

mics in the State-at New Castle, Mon
mouth, Far 'ngham and Gorham-and

graduated after the usual course, being

his studies with Thomas Bradford,

manned IN Philadelphia two years longer
and in May, 1894, attracted by the OPP
portunitieS of the new West, he came to
Illinois and established law Office at
Geneva, where he continued in his pro-
fesson for fifteen years. His ability
and accurate knowledge of the law soon
brought him into favorable notice, and
his advance to the front ranks of his
profession was rapid and sure Upon
the death of of Judge Pope IN February,
1850, Mr.. Drummond was appointed by
General Taylor to succeed him as judge
of the United States District court for
the district of Illinois December IL,
