MCDANIEL - GALE
A BRIDEGROOM INSANE.
A Physician Over Seventy is Married Mad In two Weeks
Baltimore, Md , Dec. 26. Two weeks ago Dr. William McDaniel, a wealthy retired physician of Calvert county, who is over 70 year old, astonished his friends by announcing that he intended to mary Miss Carrie Gale, a young sister of Dr. William H. Gale, member of the state legislature from Calvert county. The physician who had been attending Dr. McDaniel warned him that marriage would be attended by great risk for him in view of his advanced age and feeble health, but the lovelorn doctor disregarded the advice of every one. On Dec 5, the ill-matched couple were wedded in this city and went at once to Calvert county.
Dr. McDaniel had not enjoyed a week of the honeymoon before it became apparent that his mind was becoming affected. His wife, in great terror, summoned several physicians, but all their efforts could not arrest the mental decay. He soon became a childish idiot, and on Christmas morning he was removed to Mount Hope insane asylum. The wife is greatly distressed and her friends claim that she has a most romantic and genuine love for her aged husband. Miss Gale's friends knew nothing of her contemplated marriage until they saw a notice of it in the papers. Both families are quite prominent.
