Drowned At Horseshoe Fording.

Late Saturday night, while re.
turning from Tayloria, Lancaster
county, to their home near the Oc-
toraro creek, Mr.. and Mrs. Emory
Phillips and Mrs. Jane Singleton
met with an accident at the Horse
shoe fording, about five miles from
Rising Sun, which resulted in the
loss of life of one of the party, the
wrecking of their vehicle and the
drowning of the horse. The Octo.
raro creek was in a swollen and
dangerous condition from the heavy
rains above, and when the team was
driven into the water at the fording
the swift current swept the horse
from its feet and overturned the
vehicle, precipitating its occupants
into the water. Mr.. Phillips man
aged to reach the shore in safety,
his wife being carried some distance
down stream, and coming in con
tact with footlog across the creek,
succeeded in getting ashore. Mrs.
Singleton was drowned, her body
being carried two miles below the
scene of the accident, where it was
recovered late Sunday evening.
The horse was also drowned. The
team was the property of Jos. s..
Pogue, Sons & Co., of this town,
from whose livery it had been
hired earlier in the day.
Mrs. Singleton was about 35
years of age and was the wife of
VIM. Singleton, who with several
small children survive. She and
Mrs. Phillips were sisters.
An inquest was held on Monday
by Coroners Howard Carter, of
Oak Hill, and Thomas Hudson, of
Hopewell.

Base Ball Notes.

Chalmer G. Reynolds, the crack
base ball twirler of Cecil county,
who went to Morristown, N. j.,
last week to do a few trial stunts
for that team, was prevented from
giving much of an exhibition OF his
abilities on account of rain which
stopped the game early in the third
inning. The Morristown team is in
third place in the Lackawanna
League and was matched with the
Dover team on Saturday, the Dover
team being in second place and
noted for its heavy batting quail
tiles. We quote from clipping
from the Daily Record of Morris.
town regarding the game:
"Reynolds, who came from Mary
land to get a trial did the pitching
and he had the Doverites at his
mercy. Though little wild at the
start, when he settled down he had
them tanning at the air. He is a
left handed pitcher, has plenty of
speed and had the game gone the
full nine innings he would have had
the Dover batters thinking they
were pigmies."
The Morristown managers are de-
sirous of giving "Jake" another
trial that he may more fully dem.
onstrate his ability to make good.
