One of the owners and builders
of the Baldwin House, said to have
a considerable" interest, was still
not satisfied with the hotel This was
the Hon William T. Hamilton, who
had served several terms in Con-
gress, and was to be shortly elected
as Governor of the State of Mary
land He determined to build for
HagerstoWn a still finer hotel, and
strangely enough, he planned to put
it up in the same part of town as the
recently finished Baldwin House.
And in the next few years he saw his
plans carried out, with the construc-
ton of the Hamilton Hotel"
The total cost of the new hotel
was reported to come to $125,000,
which was quite a sum for con-
struction in those days. His first
proprietor was George w. Harris,
and the hotel opened to the public
in 1887. 1t occupied the space where
had stood the old "Antietam House,
a hundred-year-old house, which
had held the old Bell Tavern, and
had been used in this capacity from
the very start of the town. Hamilton
tore down the Antietam House to
make way for his hotel, and also an
old stone house, from which it was
said Nathaniel Rochester moved
when he left Hagerstown for New
York, and in which Rochester had
founded the Hagerstown Bank.

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

Some time ago l told briefly about
the removal of the famous old Globe
Tavern, and the building of new
hotel the Washington House, then
considered the most modern hotel
in Maryland outside of Baltimore.
1t was completed in March of 1856,
standing on West Washington Street,
opposite the Hagerstown Bank, a
four story building, with forty-six
chambers, and the necessary par
lors and offices.
Twenty-three years later, in the
dark of a May night, with the hotel
well occupied by guests, the Wash
ington House caught fire, and burn
ed down The proprietress at the
time was Mrs George Middlekauff.
There were two guests fatally burn
ed, F. B. Snively of Shady Grove,
and ]. E. Troxell of Hancock. Ser
iously injured were ]. H. Exline,
and Solomon Jenkins, of Hancock.
Numerous others were less serious
ly hurt, but most of the guests for
tunately escaped without injury.
When this hotel was planned, il
was estimated that it would cost
$12,500, but by the time of its COM
pletion it had cost we'll over twice
that amount, a total of $4,000. II
is interesting to note that at the time
of the fire it was insured against
fire to the amount of $4,000.
The company that owned the
Washington House was headed by
the locally we'll known ]. Dixon Ro-
man, and apparently also included
Edward w. Mealey, DR.. Josiah F
Smith, David c. Hammond and Will
liam T. Hamilton. When the hote.
burned they bought the next lot, anc
proceeded to erect new building
on the larger site. Mr.. Romans in
terests were represented for him by
his son-in-law, Mr. c. Columbus
Baldwin, and the new hotel was
named '"The Baldwin House"
In addition to the hotel, the own
ers also built theatre, called "Tht
Academy of Music" A grand open
ing was held for both hotel anc
theatre, and both were widely pa
tronized for years. Typical fig
ures are those of the year 1881, wher
there were a total of 1916 guests

the teaching of one James Brown
By the time he was eight, he had lost
both parents. The boy was adopted
by three uncles on his mothers side
and was reared by them and his
fathers brother, the well known and
influential William Hamilton, d D.
From these uncles he learned some
of the characteristics that later
brought him recognition as an out
standing leader. The uncles were
said to be remarkable for their de-
votion to business, and to Demo
cratic principles of the old Jeffer-
sonian school"
The young Hamilton completed
the courses of study at the Hagers-
town Academy and the Jefferson
College, Cannonsburg, Pa. After
that, he studied law under the Hon
John Thompson Mason and was adj
mitted to the Bar in Washington
County in 1845.
One year later finds Hamilton
elected to the House of Delegates
of Maryland. Mr. Hamilton, from
the very start of his public service
distinguished himself by his clear
thinking and fearless and determined
stand for what he considered right
One of the first things he stood fol
was the paying of the interest or
the State debt, and that measure
was adopted
In 1849. he was elected to Con
gress and was reelected in 1851
BY the close of this term, he had de
cided to quit public service, but he
was prevailed upon to try again fol
the seat and won by very decided
majority. During this term he was
chairman on the committee for the
District of Columbia.
Then followed a period of private
life, when he practiced his chosen
! profession, appearing often IN th'
local courts and also in the courts
of appeals. Then, from 1869 t.
1875, he again served in Congress
He strongly favored "civil servic'
reform law" which should act as
check upon the rapacity and tyran
nu of political tricksters and office
seekers. He fought for simplicit.
and economy in the management o
public affairs and the reduction o
the scale of taxation.
And starting in 1879, William I
Hamilton served as Governor o
the State of Maryland for five years
His term was attended by his devo
ton to the welfare of the state, cor
recting abuses, and instituting need
ed reforms.
Once more back in private life
he threw his support behind ever
move that promised to be for tn
good of the public. In this, he too

of the neighborhood provided they
were back in Jail when night came.
In the evening when they saw the
iailer approaching, the prisoners all
would scurry for the Jail like so many
scared rabbits.
Mclean also carried out the whip
ping sentences and when he got
drunk, which was frequently, he
would whip any and every one for his
own amusement without trial being
held or sentence pronounced.
Murder Trial
In the trial of Mays and Paxton,
October, 1892, John c. Symmes was
presiding judge. Associate judges
were William Goforth, William Wells,
William Mcmillan, John S. Gano,
George Cullman and Aaron Caldwell.
Joseph Leisure was clerk protein;
Robert Bunten, coroner; John Lun-
low, sheriff; Isaac Martin, sub
sheriff; Benjamin Orcutt, crier; and
Robert Wheelan, Samuel Martin and
Sylvanus Runnels, constables. Abner
Dunn, later Cincinnati postmaster,
prosecuted Mays and Paxton; and
John Pennington Smith and Thomas
Goudy defended them.
Mays Found Guilty
The jury, out only an hour, re-
turned verdict of "guilty" in the
case of Mays but acquitted Paxton.
The trial was held in the log cabin
of Isaac Martin-it had two rooms
and was large enough. Most early
Cincinnati cabins had but one room
and were about IL by ID feet.
Mays was sentenced to be hanged
and October &c, 1892, the sentence
was carried out by John Ludlow,
sheriff. Mays was publicly hanged on
| a galIows built on the south side OF
Fifth Street, little east of Walnut
Street.
It was a pretentious event. People
from the backwoods in Northern Ken
lucky, southeastern Indiana and the
few settlements in Hamilton County,
Ohio, Drawing the Indian menace to
come through the wildrness to see
Mays executed, made up one of the
greatest crowds coming to Cincinnati
for many years. Old writing related
some came "from as far as fifty
miles away"
The Hamilton County commission
ers allowed Ludlow 915 IS Sd costs,
which covered the hanging, the gal
lows, coffin and digging of the grave.
Hamilton County then was slow pay
the bill was not paid until six
years after Mays had been hanged.
So out of the archives of yester-
wears comes the colorful story OF
Cincinnati's first murder and Ohio's
first legal execution. The tale bought
no headlines in the newspaper-be-
cause no newspaper was published in
Cincinnati until November 8, 1913,
more than a year after the hanging.

of the Northwest Territory"

Bernard Fish Is On
County Game Board


Bernard Fish, of Bluffton, was
reelected secretary-treasurer of the
Allen County Wildlife Advisory
Committee at the regular meeting of
the group last Friday in Carlo.
In consideration of the present
game laws, committee members went
on record as favoring the same open
ing and closing dates of hunting
seasons and bag limits.
The committee also recommended
favoring an increase in the price of
a hunting license to a 81 annual
fee. Under their proposed plan, 81
of the fee would remain in the coun-
ty where the license is sold, to help
finance the restocking program.

After Shooting Child, 4
By the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, June 2.-The f.
year-old daughter of an American
woman and Chinese waiter was
in critical condition today while
the mother accused of shooting
her was committed to Bellevue
Hospital for observation.
Police said Mrs. Emma Rose
Curtis Tom, 80. fired a bullet into
the head Of her daughter, Toy
Tux Tom, Wednesday night be-
cause she thought people were
making fun of the child's Oriental
features.
II didn't want my little girl to
suffer and be pushed around the
way I have been," the attractive
woman told officers.
Mrs. Tom and her husband
Jimmy, who works in a Bronx
restaurant, are estranged.
The child was shot as she lay
sleeping in her crib in the Toms
upper East Side apartment. After
the shooting Mrs. Tom ran to the
apartment Of a neighbor who
called police.
1T was the maddened love of a
mother that caused this act" her
court-assigned attorney said.
Mrs. Tom. a native of Yeadon,
Pa. is of Irish and German an
cestry. She wept silently when
she was arraigned on charges Of
fellonious assault and illegal pos
session Of a gun.

communism will go on in other
areas:
For Greece and Turkey, $12C
million; for Iran. South Korea and

for the area around China, SIS
million.
Senator Connally said he
