DECLINES GIFT
OF A FOUNTAIN
No Place fer the Proposed
$1,000 Monument OF
New York Society

Through Mayor Horace Wilson, the
Wilmington Fountain Society has re-
fused 10 accept at his time the offer Of a
81 900 fountain, which the National HUI
name Alliance OF New York desires To
donate 20 the city.
Several days ago the mayor received a
letter from the Alliance making known
the erms on which the fountain would
be sent here, which were that the city
would have TO remove the monument
from the railroad car, set IL in position in
a location where il could be reached from
all avenues of APPROACH, and TO provide
for its proper maintainance. The mayor
Immediately took the matter up with the
local fountain society, thinking that as
there was a movement for making a city
beautiful, it would be well 10 bring the
offer to the attention of the society at
once.
The matter was discussed, with the re-
suit that the bayor to-day sent a reply
TO the National Alliance saying that the
local society had advised him that IL
would be glad 10 accept the fountain, but
Just at his time there was a not a con-
venient place 10 put il. As soon, how
ever. a suitable place can be found, ap-
plicaton will be made for the fountain.
The city now has twenty-three fountains
in operation.

BRIDEGROOM CAME
TWO DAYS LATE

By our own Wire, Publishers Press.
BOSTON Mass, June B-Josephine
Murrays faith I'm her sweetheart, Bill
smith, was justified. Last Thursday
evening when Smith failed TO appear for
the wedding. Miss Murray declared her
belief that he was detained for a good
cause. and even when she later received
a laconic note signed "Bilr' and stating
that he had been delayed and would be
around TO marry her soon, it failed to
shake her belief.
Rather than disappoint the guests,
nevertheless, she went ahead with the
reception according to the original plan
minus the groom. But Saturday Smith
turned up He said he had been i'll and
after two days of explanation Miss
Murray consented to forgive all. So
they were married last night and after
the ceremony ther was anothr recep-
ton to as many guests as Miss Murray $
home would hold.

SAY FRANCHISE
IS A CONTRACT
Point Raised That II Must
Have the City Solicitors
Approval

Some persons who are dissatisfied st
the grant OF the franchise recently by the
Street and sewer directors TO the Com
mercial Light, Heat and Power Company
have raised the point that the franchise
must be approved by the city solicitor be-
fore Il becomes effective.
The contention is made that the fran
chse is really o. contract between the
city and the Commercial Company. and
all contracts OF the city require the ap-
proval OF the city solicitor to make them
binding.
City Solicitor Townsend disapproved
Of the franchise when Mayor Wilson sub
mitted 1t to him. When Mr.. Townsend
was asked about the new point to-day he
sad he was doing nothing with it. He adj
mitted that he heard some persons were
making the contention.
Mr.. Townsend said he knew-or no in-
junction proceedings that might be taken
to prevent operations under the new fran-
chlse.
