Els B0YH0OD MARRIAGE
A Wife eff Eleven Years Finds Her
husband Is q Higamfst.

ARLINGTON, Mass, Oct. 2, 1S96.-Hor-
ace E. Smith, a well known citizen, has
left town under a cloud as the result of
an order to appear at the Superior Court
at Plymouth, November 6. to show cause
why his marriage with his wife, Anna,
should not be annulied. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith nave been married over eleven
years and during that time have resided
in Abingdon. A short time ago Mrs. Smith
learned that her husband had married a
girl in Taunton, in 1878, but that he lived
with her only a few days.
Mrs. Smith obtained the help of the
courts and the necessary papers were
served upon Mr.. Smith, who packed his
trunk and with his personal belongings
left town. His story of the affair is that
before he was Of age he ran ava from
home and married a girl who was also
under age. Three days afterward his
father compelled him to return to his
home in Taunton, and he never lived with
the girl again.
subsequently a Taunton lawyer told him
that, inasmuch as both parties were
minors. and did not have the consent of
THAR parents, the marriage WAS null
and void.
Mr.. Smith has worked for IS years at
the shoe factory of CODE and Thompson
in Abingdon. When he married Mrs.
Childs he says he thought he had a per-
feet right to do SO, relying upon the adj
vice given by the lawyer he had seen.

GERMAN markets for our goods.

The United States commercial agent at
Bavaria. referring to the Importance of
the German markets for our goods, If
properly placed. gives some points on for
eign exports that are deserving of con-
sideration. He a that if the American
manufacturer would max the same effort
to introduce his goods into Germany, that
the German does to put his products upon
the American market, there would be far
more of our products sold than there are
today. Merit alone is not a sufficient
guarantee. We have but few interested
representatives abroad. We are too apt
to neglect or abandon a fairly firm foot
hold already obtained. Personal and per-
sistent effort almost Invariably pays. He
cites the important fact that the word
american stamped on a machine is in
tended to convey the idea OF superior
ity. Light farming implements and gen
eral hardware are in needful demand, and
there is no difficulty in selling an article
once it is successfully introduced. It is
worth realizing that in Germany alone,
with a population of over 10000, 900, we can
find a fertile field for our exertions, so
many of their home goods cost double
what similar and better goods can be
obtained for here. The German manu-
facturer, looking for other worlds to con-
quer let's the rome market take care of
itself.

for his money TO give 1t away. Bruins
said, You work hard for your money
What do you call working hard? You
loan 500, and charge five per cent a
month interest. Do you call that work
ing hard?"

follows
While We lay at anchor in Dutch Har-
Dor, two officers (1rst-class) asked per-
mission to take the dingy to go fishing.
They left the ship between three and
four o'clock on the afternoon Of Septem-
Der 4. The wind was blowing steadily
then and toward six o'clock 1t was fresh
ening and continued so until the harbor
represented boiling waters. Another
raised to assist the anchors, but the en-
gfnes were not required. The galley was
sent with volunteer crew to bring the
petty officers on board.
First Lieutenant Heynan was IN charge
and he reached the dtngy, which was left
on the beach quite safe and the galley was
subsequently seen pulling toward the ship.
Darkness set in very fast and several
lights were placed in q position for guild
ance of the men in the boat. The wind
suddenly became soNstrong III it was
impossible for the boat to reach the ship,
but we all thought she had returned to
the shore and was safe on the beach.
Early next morning. however, only one
man., Seaman Hill, was seen on shore
and the cutter was sent to bring him off
to the ship. He reported that when the
galley was turned to make for the land
again. she was swamped and sank Nine
men were in the boat and eight of them
were drowned. Search boats were sent
out and it was found that HIS story
was only too true. The body of Blake. an
able seaman, was recovered, and his
funeral took place on the 10th.
Accompanying this description of the
unfortunate accident is the following list
of those in the boat when last SEEM

LONDON, Oct. 2. 1Ss6.-Edward j. Ivory,
alias Bell, the alleged d%ynarniter, who on
September u was arrested in Glasgow
and transferred to the custody of the
London police was arraigned for the sec
ond time in the Bow Street Police Court
this morning, he having been arraigned
the first time on September "a and re-

animation. No new evidence was forth

manded pending subsequent developments
in his case.
Ivory's solicitor processes to believe that
the case of his client will be dropped.
The barrister representing the Treasury
did not make his appearance when Ivory
was ~arraigned today, and this fact is
taken as indicating the intention of the
prosecuting authorities to abandon the
case for want of sufficient evidence to
convict Ivory of participation in an ac-
tual dynamite conspiracy.
The police officials who were present at
the a-rraignment of Ivory denied that any
idea of dropping the case was enter
tanned. Ivory himself was in a cheerful
mood and apparently was not apprehen-
