 The New London City Directory, which will soon be issued by the Price & Lee company, of New Haven, from the press of the Day Publishing com pany, will show an actual increase in names of adults over 1900 of four hum dred and forty-four, which, of course, means quite an increase in population.

STOOD BY Her FATHER.
Little Edna Hunt Refused to Give
Testimony Which Would Send
Her Father to Prison.

"Dont cry. papa. ] won't send you
to prison. They can send me there If
they want to, but won't tell them any
more with these words, fourteen
ycar-old Edna Hunt threw her arms
around her sobbing fathers neck, and
with a. defiant pout faced Il very as
tonished group in the West Scranton
police station last evening.
The father. John B. Hunt, of 900 West
Lackawanna avenue, was being given
a hearing by Magistrate Bezaleel Da-
Wis on a. criminal charge preferred by
his daughter. who was a. prominent
figure in the sensational events Of Sat
urday night, when with half-dozen
men she was arrested in a freight car,
near the Diamond crossing. She then
made certain charges against her
father. but when her evidence was de-
sired last night she refused point
blank to say anything discriminating
against him. She alluded vaguely tn
some wrongdoing, but gave no direct
testimony.
Standing bravely before the crowd
which tlnronged the station. and among
whose members she could recognize
several of her own relatives, the
strange little girl, her baby face
crowned with All aureole of golden
hair and flushed an angry red. fiercely
declared. "You can't make me tell.
and when her father swore his inno-
cence of guilt the child gave utterance
to the remarks quoted at the beginning
of this article. Magistrate Davis finally
discharged Hunt. and the girl was re-
turned to the Florence nilsson.
II like the Florence MISSION" she
said to Il Tribune man, because I can
do as I please there. I have reformed
now, and they can't hold me there for
ever. In two years l will be free, and
when I am / won't trouble anyone.
will never darken my fathers door
again
Those in charge at the mission are
at a loss what to do with the child, and
are inclined to view Edna as a small
white elephant on their hands. She re-
CARDS the. taking away of her liberty
with the stoicism of a young Indian
squaw. and seems utterly Indifferent
concerning herself and her future.

Reunion of Present and Former Mem.
bers at Engine House.

The reunion of the fire department,
including ex-members, held at the
city building last night was COM
plete success. 1t was OF the nature
of celebration of the recent improve
mentS in the engine house and recall
ed the grand ball with which the
same structure was opened twenty
six years ago, said to have been one
of the most successful balls ever held
in the city.
Music, recitations and sparkling adj
dresses followed rapidly through a
long evening and light refreshments
were served by the ladies to the de-
light of the inner man. Chief Kuhn
presided over the intellectual feast
and kept the corner of his eye on the
refreShment tables at the same time,
while the assistant chief, Arthur
Underwood, looked after the comfort
and welfare of the guests.
1t was time for reminiscenSe, con-
graduation, and delicate suggestions
to the city dads. The history of the
fire department in Plymouth is a
history of almost uninterrupted con-
quest over the destructive element
and its present condition and equip
ment is monument to the far-sight-
ed hberality of successive city admin
lstrations. 1t should not be forgotten
that the long strides toward perfec-
ton made in late years should be
credited to the present chief, who,
after seventeen years of faithful SER
vice in his position, is still satisfied tC
Jump at the tap of the bell, day OF
night. to use his own horses and bug
gies. to risk the ruin of his clothes, tC
subscribe and pay for books and
periodicals pertinent to the work OF
firemen, to attend at his own expense
the conventions or cnlefS, TO give
heavy bond TO the city, and to accept
as remuneration for all that the
ridiculous sum of fifty dollars year.
The menin the department have al.
ways stood enthusiastically withChiet
Kuhn and have responded to his efforts
toward improvement because they
knew of his labors to perfect himself
in the art of fire fighting, and the re-
suit has been and is a fire force pal
excellence, commanding the confidence
of the citizeus.

Traction Line Under Way.

The final arrangements for building
the Goshen & Indiana electrical rail-
way were completed last week in Chi
cago and w. W. Hatch returned to
Goshen yesterday to get the work
under way. The force now employed
will be largely increased and the con-
struction will go forward rapidly.
The extension of this road through
Plymouth and Knox is included in the
plans for next season and is practi-
cally assured as part of the agree.
ment with the Chicago house that is
financing the project. The present
contract covers the division from Go.
shen to Angola. Samuel Tote & Co.,
Chicago bankers, are handling the
bonds and are prepared to complete
the enterprise according to the plans
of the promoters.
