FORD ARRAIGNED.

The Cecil County Desperate Taken to
Wilmington on Requisition. The
Hearing Postponed Until Sept.7
Thomas w. Ford, the teaant on the
Thackery farm near ElKton, who on
August 9th, burglarized the house of Mr..
John M. Thackery in Wilmington, full
report of which case appeared in the
"WHIG" was arraigned before Judge
Ball in the Municipal Court Wilmington
on Tuesday morning. Ford WAS arrested
in Philadelphia and in which city he was
held to await a requisitlon from Governor
Pattson. Four charges were preferred
against the prisoner, three cases of
assault with intent to kill and the charge
of larceny of jewelry etc., to the value of
$3.50. When the case was called City
Solicitor Charles NJ. Curtis was present
for the State, while ez Attorney general
John Biggs had been retained as the
prisoners counsel. Mir. Biggs, on behalf
Of the prisoner, arose AID asked for a
postponemenl of the case. He statep
that he had only recently been retained by
the prisoner, and inasmuch as the defend
ant was accused Of bui glary and also of
pointing a pistol at person, he thought
it only right and proper that the case be
postponed. The witnesses were acces-
sible, he said, and he did not think the
interests of the State would be prejudic
ed by postponement.
The court stated that Mr.. Biggs had
laid proper grounds for continuance,
and City Solicitor Curtis Offering no
objection, the case accordingly went
over until Wednesday, September 7th.
The prisoner was placed under 81, 00C
bail until that time.
Ford together with two other prison
ers escaped from the police station on
"Wednesday night.
The three prisoners were confined il
an upper cell in the north east corner OF
the police station. The escape was
effected by breaking board from the
wooden ventiator in one corner of the
cell, thus atfording au easy exit to the
roof. The roof once reached, the fugi
tives had no difficulty in getting to the
ground. No one in the police station
seems to have heard the prisoners break
ing Jail.
Ford walked to Elkton and on Thurs
day morning about > o'clock surrendered
himself at the Jail to Sheriff Mckinney
He stated that his object in coming tt
certain papers. The prisoner was takel

of the first and second stories will be
decorated metal with nodded panels
The interior wood W ork is the natural
wood, with hard oil glass finish. Great
care has been given to the lighting, the
heating, the ventilation and the sanitary
arrangements. The windows are feet
6 inches from the floor, and extend up to
the ceiling, and are arranged on two
sides of all rooms where practicable.
The system adopted for heating, ventila
ton and the closets, is that known as the
Smeed system. Provision has been made
for lighting the building with gas and
electricity. The principal front to the
building, (there is no rear the sides being
treated alike) is 100 feet inches on the
Main street, and the depth over all So
feet 10 inches Near the centre of this
front is the principal entrance, which is
MASSIVE arched opening, supported with
polished granite columns with richly
carved caps. The Voussoirs of the arch
are also nodded and carved.
"A flight of granite steps ascends from
this entrance to the first floor, and one
descends to the basement floor. The
entrance is surmounted by square
tower, 70 feet high, with slightly carved
slate hip roof with an ornamented apex,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1892-09-03

and round tnrrets at each corner. The
windows in the tower have stone columns
with carved caps and imposts and stone
arches. Round turrets supported by
stone corbels, and terminating with orna
mental finals are at each corner of the
building. The roof is slate with gables
and dormers at the east, west, and south
fronts, and all caves will have a nodded
and enriched copper cornice.
The style of architecture is Roman
esque. Ornaments and carving have been
sparingly used, bat the design is effective
in it's simplicity.
The building was designed by Mr..
Alfred Mason, an accomplished architect
of Baltimore, who, we understand, has
designed over twenty five OF the recently
built school houses in Baltimore; also the
the Scharf building. Baltimore and Paca
streets, Schneider and Fuchs factory. St
Paul street, and numerous other stores,
dwellings,, &c, in and around Baltimore.
Mr.. Mason completed the plans and
specifications in June, three sets of them
having been finished, and on which pro-
posals for the erection of the building
are now being asked, after being adver
tised last week in Philadelphia and
Baltimore papers.

Talking OF patent medicines-you knew
the old prejudice. Aud the doctors-some
of them are between you and US. They
would like you to think that what's cured
thousands won't cure you. You'd believe
in patent medicines if they didn't profess
to cure everythiug-aud so, between the
experiments of doctors, and the experims2- =
of patent medicines that are. solA~cGIy
because there's money in the "aIn," you
lose faith in everything.
And, you can't always tell the prescrip.
ton that cursS by what you read in the
papers. So, perhaps, there's no better way
to sell a remedy, than to tell the truth
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association. of Buffalo, n. Y,
does with DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DR.. Pierce's Favorte Pre-
scrlpton.

they'll do-you get your money back.
