Or Thursday evening of last week, lis Maj. j. NJ
Mcc Tue, With his wife and two nieces, while re-
turning home from Staunton, met with painful
accident His carriage was descending steep
hill on the Spring Hill road, when the breast
straps became detached from the tongue, causing
the horses to run and bringing the carriage up
against fence, and throwing the occupants out.
Maj McCue had the larger bone of the left fore
arm broken and his wife received several pain
full bruises on the face-his nieces escaping with
only slight bruises. The Maj. received surgical
assistance at the house of Mr.. Houf, near by,
and at this writing ne is doing well. 1t was
only last year we noticed an accident to Maj.
McCue by his riding horse jumping into an old
lime-kiln and we hope he has had his full share
of accidents by this time.
