The Wife of the Tax Collector Thrown
From Carriage Into a Small Stream.
Mrs. George w. Mckee. wife OF
| County Tax Collector Mckee. was
thrown from her carriage last evening
and killed. Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee went
driving on the new road to Brandywine
Springs They were returning in the
carriage about 8 o'clock, and had reached
a point on the road where a stream
crosses 1t, between the Woodward and
Leach farms.
Mrs. Mckee was driving and when
they reached the bridge the horse, a very
spirited animal, and was particularly
| spirited at this time, as 1t had been in
its stable for week, became frightened
and unmanageable Mr.. Mckee seized
the lines from his wife and tried TO con.
troll the horse, but his efforts were In
vain.
Mrs. Mckee was very much frightened
! and rose up in the carriage. Mr.. Mckee
shouted to her to sit down and hold on
But just at that moment the CARRIAGE
struck the side of the bridge and Mrs
Mckee was thrown headlonQ over the
side into the water. The bridge Is abont
eight feet above theswater, which is two
feet deep. The horse ran on for several
hundred yards before he could be checked
and Mr.. Mckee could 60 to his wife's as.
sistance.
By the time Mr.. Mckee had returned
to help her, she had been taken from the
water by man named Hall and laid on
the bank. She partially opened her eyes.
but did not become conscious. Hall felt
her pulse, and for an instant 1t Huttered.
but soon both her pulse and her heart
became stslled and she was dead
Millard F. Davis of this city, who was
driving past when the accident happened.
at once drove to this city and summoned
DR.. Willard Springer. DIR. Springer i'm
mediately called Wilson's ambulance and
went to the scene OF the accident Two
boys who were standing near, took Mr..
McKee's buggy and drove into the city.
They summoned DR.. Fahey, and he
started for the place
DR.. Fahey was the frst physician to
arrive and he Immediately examined the
body. He pronounced life extinct.
Shortly afterward, the ambulance with
DR.. Springer arrived. The body was
then taken to Mr. McKee's home at
Eighth and Harrison streets.
The physicians examined the BODY
more closely and found a cut on the right
side OF the head, the back of the head
crushed in and the hair matted with
blood
It is thought that the horse had
kicked Mrs. Mckee in forehead. as the
dashboard was broken and Mr.. Mckee
was bruised on one side Of his head. Had
Mrs. Mckee not risen she would proba. |
bly, have escaped uninjured, as the buggy
dld not upset and was not damaged ex-
cept for the broken dashboard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee often drove out |
with this horse and Mr.. Mckee told a |
friend only yesterday that when Mrs. |
Mckee was driving the horse appeared |
to know that woman had hold Of the |
reins, and went quietly without Jump
ing
Mrs Mckee was a daughter Of John
LeFevre Of St. Georges. She leaves |
three small children.

The Wilmington Base Ball Club de-
feated Baltimore yesterday afternoon In
G great game at 0riole Park, Baltimore.
The san prints the following report OF
the game:
The way the Baltimores started In to
pound the life out of Pitcher Wehrle was
caution. In the first inning Long
startgd with a hit and was followed with
three baggers by Mack and Ray and
then came singles by Power and sommer,
and the good stick work was kept up ali
through the game. But the Baltimores
did not run bases with the usual dash or
otherwise shows any signs Of the pres
ence of that spirit of conquest which has
characterized their work in former games.
Although they made II hits, with total
OF 20 bases and but two errors, against
twelve singles and four errors by their
opponents, they lost the game.
The main interest was centered on what
Mack would do with the bat In the ninth
inning. The score was eleven to ten in
favor Of Wilmington. Baltimore had three
men on bases with two hands out when
Mack stepped TO the plate. LET Ray
Bat, yelled the squatters on the bleach
ing boards. Get your base on balls an
Rayll bring you all In, shouted another
enthusiast. while solemn voice from
the stand behind first base said, LET
heddy alone and he'll make two bag
ger. The meu on bases were ready TO
score on the slightest chance and Wehrle
pitched lazy ball squarely over the
plate. Mack swung his bat with all the
strength Of his brawny arms and the ball
went sailing out into left centre ield. II
hung just little too high, however, and
gave Galligan time enough to get under
1t, and the game was over.
Baker was In about the worst form In
which he has been seen at Oriole Park
this season. He was wild and kept Tate
bobbing around behind the bat. In the
fourth inning he gave three men bases
on balls, forcing one run in. Altogether
he sent six men TO 6rst on balls, aud
when he did get the bali over the plate
1t was generally hit safely He also had
one wild pitch.
In the field Long and sommer each
caught three flies, and Long agan dis
himself by an excellent run
ming catch. The two fielders, however,
let one fly ball which either could have
caught drop between them, as neither
knew who was going for 1t. The score
