on Courthouse Square, and it is mystrey
how they escaped.
Snow Hill, the county seat of Worcester
is very old town-one of the Oldest in the
State. 1t is at the head Of navigation on
the Pocomoke river, and by the census of
1890 was credited with population of 1888.
During the past few years a number OF
manufacturing industries were introduced
and the business ofthe town was expanding.
Steam saw mills, planning mills and other
works were conducted on large scale, and
the business of the town was being pushed
by some of the most energetic and progress
sive men of the state, among them Senator
John Walter Smith, who is largely identi-
fed with its business interests, ex- Congress
man George W. Coyington, DIR. George w.
Bishop, formerly United States sub-treasurer
at Baltimore, and others.
The courthouse, which was destroyed,
was an old brick structure, remodled about
ten years ago. The building was covered
by slate roof and surmounted by a wooden
cupola, which was its weak point. But for
this wooden superstructure it is doubted if
the courthouse would have been burned.
The woodwork was dry as tinder, and
the flying sparks easily ignited it and the
whole interior was burned out very rapidly.
The Jail adjoined the courthouse with a
small yard intervening. There were only
two prisoners in the Jail. They were re-
leased and worked manfully in the bucket
brigade to save the prison and other prop
erty.
