A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun OF June 1st from Haverstraw. n.
Y, says:
Arthur w. Clarke, the baby's father
arrived here at half-past 6 o'clock this
evening and drove TO the house OF JUS
tice Herbert, two miles from here, at
tended by a procession of cheering cit
liens in carriages, on bicycles and IN
foot. The meeting between father and
daughter was affecting in the extreme.
The baby looked at him in a feeble
way. Her faculties seemed clouded.
The father took her in his arms and
began asking her familiar questions.
Soon she smiled as though a food OF
pleasant memories had swept over her
childish mind. She put out her small
round arms and clasped them tightly
about her fathers neck.
Papa" she said in a childish treble.
Tears flowed down the cheeks of Mr..
Clarke. He clasped the child 10 his
breast. Those who were peering in at
the windows saw that the recognition
was complete.
Mr.. Clarke soon after left for his
home with his child in his arms.
Jennie Wilson tainted when MI.
Clarke identified the child. When she
recovered she was taken TO jail at New
City. Investigation is being made as
to her life and her associates.
! MOTHER WEEPS FOR JOY.
Especial TO Baltimore Sum-
New York, June Ito Mrs. Arthur
w. Clarke, at her home, in East Six
ty-fif.h street, Captain McClusky car
ried the news of her child's recovery.
The instant the story was confirmed
Mrs. Clarhe dropped on her knees and
offered a touching prayer OF gratitude
for the great burden that had been lift
ed from her heart.
When Baby Marion arrived home
there was a scene which hardly admits
Of desert ton. Several thousand per-
sons blocked the street, and the police
had to make a way through the great
crowd so that the carriage In which
Marion rode could pass.
Mr.. Clarke ran upstairs TO where his
wife was sitting and held the child
toward her.
"Oh, my little baby" she cried. Then
she swayed with faintness OF Joy.
Although she had been expecting It
for hours, the reality was almost more
than she could bear. Mrs. Clar els
mother and Mrs. McGrath. Marion's
godmother, supported her and she re-
covered quickly.
The baby was asleep, but the noise
Of the cheering wakened her, and she
! opened her eyes and began to cry for

ed and wept over in a way that must
have surprised her. Mrs. Belts, her
grandmother. took her 20 the window
for the first time and held her up thai
the crowd might see. Then Mrs. Clarke
herself showed her, fondling the baby
as IL she wished the people TO share
in her JOY. They shouted:
Marion, Harion. Three cheers for

hand, apparently thinking that the en-
tire scene had been deviseS for her spe-
cial amusement.
Finally the windows were closed.
+. and the mother undressed the baDy and
put il in the crib that had been empty
81 long.
A few minutes later the street was al
most deserted.
