Fiedeiick S . and Angle, all by his first
wife. Of thee Fiedeiick I.s the only
one lh lnjr.
Dining the middle '-Id's Mr. Godfrey
opened a hotel at Canaan Corners,
about tw Lilly miles ftom Haw ley, and
fiom whole he went to Piovldence to
become the flist pioprletor of the litls
tol House, built by lia Tilpp. He le

time nnd the Dunmoie hoslelry was
the best in this leglun.
Mr. God f ley, after being live years
In Dunmoie, bought the land and two
buildings at the corner of Sprure stieet
und Wyoming avenue, this city. He
connected the two buildings and added
an exti.i story. The whole structuie

Hut for him Wllkes-Daue would have
bien t-ekcted and something that had
much to do wllh the city's eaily pioml

Fin four yeais after 1SCC, Mi God
fl.j was not In business, but he Anal
ly resumed his wonted activity and

Walter, about IB years of nge,' extin
guished tho Unities single-handed, and

STEPHENS' OBJECTION.
Thought He Was Being Imposed Jon Be
' cause He Was a Stranger-Broke
n Paine ot Glass,
Fgbeit Stephens, an Ashley joung
man, bearded tho Hon in Its den yes
toida. He' "called down" the Scian
ton police force to its face. It was a
gentle "call," but the fact that Steph
ens expies-ed himself In the sergeant's
office at police headquaiters In the
piesenco of tluee olllcels nnd tho
shadow of the cells almost falling up
on him made the affair neny. to say
the least.
Stephens got to the station house via
Fnnkfuit man Goldberg and I'atrol
ninn Mntthews. The young man came
here yesterday to have a pleasant time
with his fi lends.
At the dinner In the ft lends' house,
It seems, Stephens, ns Is the fashion
with guests, was bashful about the
eating. The lesult was that us soon
ns he got loose fiom the formalities
of tlio fi lends' house he became awaie
that he was hungiy
So he studied Into the cafe, as he put
it. near the Hallioad Young Men's
Clnlstian association building on Lack
awanna lueiiuo, and asked for a frank
fuit This gone, Stephens asked for
unothei finnkfuit. and a thlul.
Accoidlng to the lunch man, Steph
ens aid mil pay for number thtee. The
i lief in the cafe Is n small man hut
pugnacious. lie would not see his ein
ployeis duped out of five cents so he
Intel fpred with Stepbcns as be was
leaving Hie place with tluee fiank
f nits In his pei son.
In the cyclone which followed the
glass In the door was smashed.
Stephens' watch-chain was broken and
his black four-in-hand tie was pulled
fiom Its Immaculate buckgiound by
the clutched hands of the chef.
This made Stephens angiy, and he
hastened up tho avenue until he
leached Patiolman Mutthews. To
gether they returned to the cafe.whete
the chef was round In company with
one of the piopiletors of the night line.
Stephens was countet-ehaiged with
bieaking the glass.
Stephens, the chef, and the pio
prletor accompanied Patiolman Mat
thews to the police station, wheie weie
Lieutenant John Davis and Acting
Desk Seigeant Lowiy. Stephens de
nied -mashing the glass, although his
cut and bleeding hand contradicted his
statement s.
The cost of tho glass, uccoidlng to
the owner of the wagon, was $3.
Stephens said he gets a living building
cai.s and he new the glass didn't cost
no moie than 2 cents per loot, or 21
cents- In all. Finally the fianktuit man
compiomlspd for Jl.fiO. Stephens paid
this under a piotest. If he didn't have
to go to woik today he would light it
out before an aldeiman.
As Stephens sat In the ofllce, after
the close of the deal, be began to talk.
"It's all light," he said; "I know If one
of you fellows came down to Ashley
we'd take the pait ol our own resi
dent." Lieutenant Davis Interposed
an objection, saying that the matter
was Heated fall ly. Stephens could not
see It In that light. "Ceitalnly," he
'aid, "I don't blame you; I In fact ad
mlie you. It's light. I'm a stianger
here, naturally I'd get the woist of It."
He was lemlnded that he ought to
be thankful to get off as he did. "I
know that whether wrong or light,"
he letorted.
Stephens sat In the ofllce until he
was good and icady, then he went.
