surrounds the station. The chief had
the train brought to a stop and sum

immediately started in pursuit and
traced him several miles in the coun

Norman put several of the township
constables on the Job. but up to a late
hour no word has been received. The
negro is a bad one. having only a
short time ago been released from the
penitentiary. The detective was un
able to jump from the train, as he

Historic Church and
Priceless Relics Are
Destroyed by Women
By Associated Press
Derby. Eng., June 5. —The ancient
and historic church at Breadsall, dat
ing back to Norman times and con
taining many priceless relics, was de
stroyed by fire during the night. Suf
fragettes arc suspected by the authori
ties, as explosions similar to those
caused by the bombs usually employed
by the arson squad were heard before
the Ore. A short time ago a suffragette
meeting in the village of Breadsall was
broken up by boys, and it is generally
supposed that the women burned the
church in revenge.
Among the things consumed by the
flames was an ancient chained Bible.
The church register, dating back to
1573, was saved.

Perhaps no more convincing analysis

J. Price, chief of the Harrisburg bu

Ledger, who sent to his newspaper
last night this story of the meeting of
the State committee held here:
"What is said of one of these con
ventions applies to both, in a large
measure. Take the Democratic, for
instance. It is agreed by politicians
and visitors who have attended such
functions—under the old name—year
after year, that the Board of Trade
gathering was notable for two things
—an utter lack of curiosity on the part
of the people as a whole, and the ab

CITY'S POPUUTIDN
BU/. ESTIMATE
OF 1914 DIRECTORY
! Increase of 1,300; 22,268
Changes; 6,450 New Names;
5,930 Erased
Harrisburg's estimated population
is now 8 8,967.
And that is an increase over last
year of 1300.
These are the figures that stick out
pre-eminently in the Boyd's City
Director for 1914 that was issued to
day.
Of course the most important red
book in the city and its environs to
day has a lot of other interesting po
pulation data and among other things,
there are some facts new names,
names erased, removals etc.
In the first place there are just
35,587 names in the 1914 directory as
against 35, 067 in 1913, an increase of
520. Following the method adopted
for computation of population by
directory estimate the country over,
Boyd's as usual approximates the
city's population by multiplying the
number of names in the directory by
two-and-a-half. This doesn't include
Steelton however.
During the year 22,268 changes
were made in the "red-book", of this
number 6, 450 new names were added,
5,930 were erased, removals, alter
ations, etc. umbered 9,888.
