A terrible railroad accident occurred
early last Tuesday morning at Rome, N.
Y, in which three people were killed and
several badly injured. Several rails had
been removed, throwing the train into
the ditch. The wreckers were three
young men, between seventeen and nine
teen years of age, whose minds had be-
come influenced by yellow covered lite
rature. Desiring to follow ii the foot
steps of the heroes of those stories, they
posted themselves beside the rails they
had loosened, and with drawn revOlvers.
waited for the train to rush to destruc-
ton. 1t was their intention to dash into
the midst of the wreck and force the VIC
Tins to hand over their possessions. They
had anticipated haul of at least $50, 600,
but the cries Of the injured frightened
them and they fled. In the pockets of
one of the youthful murderers was a vel
low covered novel, containing story
that painted in bright and alluring col
ors the deeds of Jesse James in rooms
frequented by the boys, were found guam
titles of this class of literature, and they
confessed that it had been their custom
to gather together to read and discuss the
deeds of these dime novel heroes. Their
minds had become poisoned and they
guaged their deeds by false standard of
manhood. Ihe chief responsibility for
their terrible crime lies beyond the boys,
upon the authors and publishers of
this vicious literature. Such literature
aught to be suppressed before it goes be
yOnd the writer and printer. Tuesday S
crime emphasizes the danger of ;,llo wing
it to reach youthful hands.

The manufacturers and wage earners
are not the only sufferers from the eff
fects of opening our home markets to
floods of foreign productions, but the
farmers of the country are, also, finding
that foreign grown produce, raised by
farming classes whose proverty stricken
conditions make welcome a market for
their produce at any price, and at prices
with which American farmers cannot
compete, is being imported in ruinously
large quantities. Exports of farm pro-
duce have also shown the same signiti-
cant decrease. The exports of farm pro.
duce is as follows: Last year of McKin-
ley law, S371, ,124, SO; last year of Wilson
law, 1901, ,55S SS5; loss to American farm
e-s, $69, ,565. .994; and the imports: Last
year of McKinly law, SOL, Ala, ,594; last
year of Wilson law, Sl07 1851, ,572; loss to
American farmers, $55, ,936,97 net loss
to American farmers, Sl25, 5,502,9 ,972. Some
of the changes are very large. Thus the
imports of animals under the Wilson bill
rose from S966,359 to $2,121,65 eggs
from $l61, 1928 to S341 ,2S4; feathers from
$910,0 to S3,077, ,955; hay from $S46, ,739
to 81, 1858, ,331; hides from $40, ,4S0, 562 to
$24, 1923, ,269; seeds from $2.361, ,S13 to 81,
146, ,504; flax from 81, 1,l01,347 to 50 2.245,-
$40, and wool from So, 900, ,034 to $32, $3.50,
791. In exports there were some
changes equally significant during the
two periods. Thus the export of hay
fell from 1924, ,9l6 to $500, 200; hops from
SO, 1852, ,213 to 81, ,S49, ,S9S; seeds from $S,-
03S, 55S to 81, ,972, ,242; corn from $31 ,207,-
931 to $40, ,032. .404; wheat from $67, ,793,-
400 to $52, ,339, ,232; -four from S7S, ,O62, ,212
to $50, ,220, pa, and provisions from S169,
S91, ,131 to S155, ,493, ,2S2. Particular atten-
ton is asked to the condition of the wool
growing interests. The importations of
wool increased from little over six mil
lions of dollars in value to over thir-
ty-two and half millions, practically
swamping the wool growing industry.
Not only is none exported, but the most
used here must be bought abroad. And
the home, not the foreign, farmer is the
sufferer.

Marriage of Miss Florence Sim
mons and c. Floyd HuIing.

One of the prettiest wedding ceremon-
les ever witnessed at the South Park
Methodist Church, Hartford. Conn, was
that of Wednesday evening, when Miss
Florence Belle Simmons, daughter of w.
G. Simmons, and Clarence Floyd Huling
of Oaksdale, Wash, formerly of North

of honor was Miss Carolyn Huling, of
North Bennington, sister of the groom,
and the brides maids were Miss Edna X.

Agnes l.. Parllhnrst and Miss Oracle NJ
Spear, of that city. Little MISS Helen
Madeline Burgess of Burlington,
niece of the groom, was the flower
girl.
At six o'clock, as the strains of the
wedding march from "Lohengrin" were
played by Mrs. Green, the bridal party
passed down the south isle preceded by
the ushers. Then came the bridesmaids
the maid of honor, the flower girl and
the bride leaning on the arm of her
father. They were met at the alter by
the groom, accompanied by his best
man, George d. Clark, of Hartford, and
the officiating c'ergymen, he Rev. Will
liam Rice Newell, president of tie
Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham, Mass,
and the Rev. William A. Richard, pastor
of the church. The Episcopal marriage
service was used and during the benedic-
ton the young couple knelt on a white
satin pillow heavily embroidered in
gold. During the ceremony the organ
played softly strains of the wedding mu-
SIC from "LOhengrin." and as the bridal
procession left the church the Mendels-
sohn'Wedding March, was played.
Miss Huling. the maid of honor, wore
a gown of white silk, trimmed with
yellow chiffon and satin ribbons of the
same color and carried bouquet of
yellow chrysanthemums. Helen Bur
CESS, the flower girl, wore a dress of
light blue figured silk trimmed with
white lace, and light blue stockings.
She carried basket of roses. The
maid of honor, bridesmaids and flower
girl each wore gold enameled brooches
with monogram "H. and S." the gift of
the bride. The groOm's gift to his best
man and the ushers was scarf pins of the
same design.
Following the ceremony was recep-
ton at the home of the brides parents,
which was largely attended. The house
was decorated with flowers and pOtted
plants. Beeman HatchS orchestra
played in the west piazza which was en-
closed for the occasion. A collation. was
served in the dining room, which was
prepared by Habenstein. The presents
all handsome and valuable, were shown
in the west parlor. Among the guests
from out of town were NJ. C.. Huling and
Mrs. Huling, of North Bennington,
parents of the groom.
Mr.. Huling is a banker and broker
in Oaksdale and was mayor of the city
in 1898. He is an ex-president of the
Oakesdale Savings Bank and has lived
there about five years. He is one of the
prominent business men of the city.
Mrs. Huling is graduate of the South
School, was in the class of '03 at the
Hartford Public High School and was
graduated at the Wesleyan Academy,
Wilbraham, Mass, in 1895. The groom's
sister, Miss Huling, was her roommate
at the scademy.

WaIIIngford Man Missing.

Charles Buffum, who worked for Hap
good & Stiles, on their Mt. Tabor job. left
his work about o'clock on Saturday the
9th, to go to his home on Sugar Hill. in
Wallingford, since which time nothing
has been heard of him. He had to go
about five miles through the woods in
wild region but was familiar with the To-
cality. Searching parties have secured
the woods but have found no trace of him.
There is a story that he had trouble in
his family and may have run away. There
is another story that he drank consider

OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS
EDWARD HARRIGAN IN "OLD LAVEN-
DER

EDWARD HARRlGAN IN OLD LANEN-
DER"
The New York Tribune had the fol-
lowing to say of Edward Harrigan's pre-
sentation of "Old Lavender" of which
he is the author:
There is not in the whole world a no.
bier or more pathetic picture of low life
in a great city than Edward Harrigan's
"Old Lavender" The story, reaching
the heart at all times, is enlivened by
the most natural and excellent humoT,
while the types portrayed are of striking
familiarity. The play is human, and
when this tribute has been paid it would
be hard to say any more. Mr.. Harrigan,
in this admirable early product of his,
has come nearer to the touch of nature
than in any of his later pictures of city
life, for in this he has not reached GER
tain class, but the whole human family.
There is, too, no more thoroughly
finished characterization on the Ameri-
can stage than Mr.. Harrigan's Coggs-
well. 1t ranks with the few great crea-
tions of the past twenty years, and is, in
It's way, as entirely an artistic perform
ance as Mr. Jefferson's Rip Van Winkle-
Like the latter, ID will live in the mem.
ory OF playgoers as long as memory it
self shall live.
The audience last evening received the
familiar play with enthusiasm. The ia
miliar songs caused tremendous and
spontaneous approval, and were demand
ed again and again, while Mr.. Harrigan
was showered with plaudits as a recog.
milton of his individual work. "Old
Lavender" will be repeated this evening.
Mr.. Harrigan appears in the Opera
House next Tuesday evening, the 26th
inst.
