DANIEL DONNELLY.

  As stated in yesterday's issue, Daniel Donnelly passed away at his 
home on West Fifteenth street at 10:25 o'clock on Wednesday evening, 
death being due to a complication of diseases.  
  Daniel Donnelly was born at Armagh, Ireland, on February 22, 1846.  
He arrived in America in 1868 and at once located in Tyrone.  On April 
22, 1896, Mr. Donnelly was united in marriage with Miss Annie McGovern, 
who survives with one son, Ambrose, to mourn the death of this loving 
husband and father.  He is also survived by two sisters, Miss Anne 
Donnelly and Mrs. McLaughlin, of Armagh, Ireland.
  Mr. Donnelly was one of the town's best and most widely esteemed 
citizens.  He was at all times ready to do anything which would be a 
betterment to the community.  For over twenty years he has been a 
member of the borough council, first representing the Seventh ward and 
afterward the Sixth.  At the time of his death he still represented the 
latter ward in this capacity.  He was vice president of the Central 
Building and Loan association and treasurer of local lodge, Independent 
Order of Foresters.  In politics he was originally a Democrat, but at 
the time when that party espoused the cause of free silver he 
transferred his allegiance to the Republican party in which he has 
since been an active worker.
  Deceased was an active member of St. Matthew's Roman Catholic church 
and was always a constant attendant.
  Requiem mass will be said by his pastor, Rev. J. F. Looney, at St. 
Matthew's church, at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning, interment following 
in Oak Grove cemetery.
