VICTIM OF SHOCKING ACCIDENT
Bows We're Getting Ready for Trip TO

One OF the most shocking accidents
that has occurred in Wilmington in re-
cent years was the killing of Samuel
White, Jr., the IA year old son OF Samuel
White. the well-known carriage builder
last evening by the accidental explosion
of a gun.
Garrett Reed, son OF A. s. Reed, who
was with White when the accident hap
pened has been hysterical since the tray
edy aud has made no reliable statement.
."Why did | shoot Sammy and why did
aim at him" is all that the little fellow
has been heard TO utter since the shoot
ing.
BOYS WE'RE BOSOM FRIENDS.
The boys were ont on the river yester-
day and had planned days Cunning for
reed birds today. Last evening Gar-
rett and Sammy" were in the third
story of Mr.. Reeds house and took a
gun out OF ease belonging 10 Archibold
Reed Jr., and were handling il when the
explosion occurred. Members OF the
family, who were mt supper, rushed up
stairs and found Garrett standing and
supporting young White. The wounded
boy was laid on the floor and a pillow
was placed beneath his head.
Dr. Henry W. rBiggs Of No. 1895 Jack
son street, the nearest physician. was
summoned at once. Coroners Under
taker James II. Chandler was telephoned
TO and DR.. Evan G.. Shortlidge and
Or. Willard Springer. Mr.. Whites
family physician also were called. DIR.

time to see the boy breathe his last
When Coroner's Assistant James II.
Chandler viewed the body and the room
where the accident happened he could not
find any shell in the gun nor any trace
OF one being fired from the weapon.
He said that the only gun in the room
was In the closet and that il was very
dirty and evidently had not been exploded
for n long time. Mr.. Chandler said there
were fragments of an exploded shell on
the floor, ON the window sill and on the
screen where part OF the load went out.
His opinion is that one OF the boys had
the shell in his hand when the cap was
accidentally touched. causing IL TO ex-
plode. There was also a large horse piH-
tol on the bureau, but Mr.. Chandler
stated Il had not been used lately.
BOTH FAMILIES FRUSTRATED.
The parents Of the dead boy and the
parents Of young Reed are terribly
shocked over the affair, and both Mrs.
White and Mrs Reed are prostrated.
When Mr.. White, the father Of the vic
tim, saw his sons dead body he almost
tainted. but knowing that he must break
the news to his wife he nerved himself
up to the ordeal and stood it hravely.
Mr.. Reed also was much moved by the
occurrence.

triotic Societies and Citizens OF Della
ware, September 3, 1901
The monument is within a stones
throw of the old Cooch mansion, which
furnishes a picturesque background for
the memorial.
Mr.. Cooch's residence was 'built in
1860 by his great-grandfather Thomas
Cooch, and it got its first claim 10
larger fame in the fall Of 1777, when
It became the temporary home Of Lord
CORVALLIS, who commanded a division
OF Howe's army in the fateful Phila-
delphia campaign. From between the
trees on the lawn chat slopes down
to the Christiana, one gets glimpses
OF the near hill on the other side of
the creek. There it was that General
Maxwell with his Eight advance
corps" was discovered by the division
of the British army encamped on the
slope of Iron Hill, an eminence rising
high at the rear or west Of the Cooch
house.
Howe had landed his army about 12
miles below Eikton, Md. on August
%, after a long journey round from
New York, and he arrived at a point
that was just about as far from his OBJ
jective as he was when Washington
faced him a couple of months before
in northern New Jersey and completely
outplayed him in his game of getting
to Philadelphia by the overland route.
His plan Of coming around into the
Chesapeake, then, was clearly a plea
of confession and avoidance; he knew
he could not get past the man who
was alert to every move made by the
laundering Britisher. And so Howe
tried by the transparent strategy of a
decoy letter purporting TO have been
prepared for Burgoyne, to throw
Washington off his guard and slip into
Philadelphia by an unexpected route.
The letter fell as was intended. into
Washingtons hands. In 1t Howe told
CT the proposed sailing of his army to
Boston; it was such a manifest fraud
that Washington wrote of it. "to me
no stronger proof could be given, that
the former General Howe)is not going
TO the eastward that his letter adduces.
/ am persuaded mere than
ever, that Philadelphia is the place OF
destination" And then the Americans
moved slowly off to the southwark,
not without some suspicion. however.

This levy is 5,251.72 in excess Of the

vestment tax was $50 4sO.27, Of which ST.

county, and $11, ,456.15 for the city Of VII

The bonded deot Of January 2, 1900,
was s646.0OO. and during the year this
amount was reduced 10 s626000. at
which figure it stood ON January ?, 1901.
Payments Of bonded indebtedness by
the County Treasurer other than those
above mentioned, occurring during the
period covered by this report were cred
tied in the summary Of the bonded indebt-
edness for the year 1889, and were in
cluded in the report Of the auditors for
that year.
There is yet one bond OF 500 OF the
Court House loan outstanding. which has
never been presented for payment, and
which was due and payable on July /,
1899.
The item Of si25 charged to interest and
discount, was paid TO the holders of GER
tain bonds. which were held by them
upon request for a period Of three months
after maturity. whereupon they were paid
interest on the same, as If the bonds had
matured three months after the date on
which they did actually mature. The
county finances at the date Of the matur-
ity Of the bonds, were very low.
We find that there has been no interest
paid on the $4,000 issue Of bonds dated
