The Handsome Gift Accepted by the Bor-

1t seemeI as though every resident of
Danville turned out on Saturday even
ing TO be present at the formal presen-
tation of the new public fountain to the
borough by the local w. G. I. U. bxanch.
Long before the time set for thd exer-
cises the crowd commenced to assemble
and when StOes' band reached the scene
it was impossible to get anywhere near
the fountain.
The band rendered several selections
after which Attorney Scarlet in behalf
of the LADIES made an excellent present
alton speech, in which he detailed the
efforts which have been put forth by the
donors to secure the fountain. Charles
Chalfant ESQ.,, accepted the fountain in
behalf of the borough with an address.
He spoke of the fine location and of
how the gift would be appreciated by
the citizens of Danville. The exercises
were attended by the members of both
the w. G. I. U. and the Borough Coun-
Gil in body. Music by the band con.
cluded the exercises.
1t now remains for Council to decide
whether or not the fountain is to be re.
gularly supplied with ice.

Child Surrendered to its Mother,

A special session of court was held
last Friday morning, with Associate
Judges Divel and Thompson on the
bench. The only business transacted
was the hearing of habeas corpus
case.
Mrs. Anna Taylor, of Shamokin, in
stltuted the proceedings to recover the
possession of her son, aged 81 years,
from the Convent of the Holy Sisters,
in this city. Mrs Taylor testified that
she had been married to Thos J. Taylor
IN Shamokin four years ago. Two chill
dren were born unto them, a son and a
daughter. fhe wife claimed her hus-
band treated her shamefully, and fin
ally she was driven from the house. On
June %, a separation was agreed upon
with the understanding that the husband
was to keep the boy, with him. Mrs.
Taylor stated it was not long before the
child had been placed in the Orphanage
at the Convent in this city.
Mrs. Taylor was then crossed examin-
ed and an effort was made to show that
the husbands unkind treatment was
due to the fact that the witness had not
been true to Mn. Taylor; also that she
was unfit to have the custody of the
child.
Thomas Taylor, the husband, was
present, but he had nothing to say
After hearing the proofs, the Court or
dered that the child be delivered to the
mother, Anna +. Taylor, for custody
and maintenance
