August Henry Krodel of Lisbon and Miss Rose Margaret Greishamer of Providence were united in marriage Wednesday afternoon at o'clock at the home of the formers sister, Mrs. Fred Leffingwell of 99 Franklin street. by Rev. Donald B. MacLane. pastor of the Taftville Congregational church. The ceremony took place un- der floral arch, banked with palms. Geduldig was in charge of the deco rations
 The maid of honor was a sister of the bride. Miss Mary Grieshamer of Taftville, and the best man Edward Krodel of Taftville, nephew of the groom.
 The bride wore handsome gown of white silk batiste, princess style, while her maid was gowned in white mule.
 A reception followed, at which only relatives of the young. ~eopls were present. Refreshments were served. The bride was the recipient of a num- Der of beautiful and valuable presents.

The sIipperiest Road Material.

The making of a good road is a problem not lightly to be undertaken. The Oracle is impressed with the fact every rainy day when he sees the ef- feet that the moisture has on the various materials used in the con- struet1on of our city streets. There are about two miles of vitrified brick roads, three of granite block, half a mile Of asphalt block, eleven. miles of macadam. a mile of wooden blocks, and a half mile of sheet asphalt. Take 1t all in all for wet weather and dry, hot weather or cold there is none better than properly built macdam roads, though in this land of terrific changes in climate, the strain on them is great. Take wooden blocks. On a dry day it is an ideal roadbed, but as soon as 1t gets wet it is no place for a. horse with a heavy load and dull shoes. Even a heavy dew will send horses sprawling over it's surface Sheet asphalt is even worse. especially when covered with a thin sheet of ice. We have seen horses on freezing morning start at the Holyoke club and without taking their feet from the ground slide into the gutter in front of the Naumkeag store. The intro duction of the auto complicates the situation still more.-Holyoks Trans cript.

A Skeptie.

Being fully familiar with the rec ords of all former north polar ex- plorations, together with my own ex- periences and studies of the Arctic pack of ice north of 80 degrees, be- sides ever since a boy having studied ice formations and conditions in all it's various stages. must confess be- fore God and man that am more than amazed over Lieut.. Robert Peary's last report that he reached the North pole April 6, this year, and in the short time of four months has returned to civilization. All former north polar exploration records bear no comparison whatsoever with Peary's last report, and all Arctic ex- plorers are forced to open their eyes in the greatest astonishment, and draw a faint smile like the one I drew when examined Peary's meteorite in the Brooklyn navy yard October 26, 1897. and found 1t to be a rich mass of luteric (yeilowish) iron. then considered it was great scheme for an Arctic explorer to try to palm off any such thing op the American public-Captain Franklin, who was with Wellman's 1894 expedi- ton. in the Brooklyn Eagle.

sEvIN's DRUG STORE
 ENTERED BY BURGLARS.
Cash Drawer Forced Open and $s.12 Taken-cigars, Tooth Brushes and Perfume Carried Away.

About midnight Wednesday night, under the light of full moon and an arc electric light, one or more burglars entered the drug store of N. D. Sevin & Son on Main street and made good their escape with a small sum of money and a quantity of goods.
 Entrance to the store was made by breaking a window at the side of the store opening into the stairway run ming to Church street. Through this the fellow crept, knocking over bottles at the prescription counter. Once in side, he evidently headed for the cash drawer, which he forced open and took therefrom the sum of sS.12. He also secured a quantity of cigars, tooth brushes, candy and some perfume and went out the way he went in.
 As he was getting out of the window he was seen by Electrician Young at the Auditorium theater. who was pass ing there. The fellow ran up the stairs to Church street and it was not possi- Dle to tell whether anyone was with him or not. MT. Young informed the police and they started at once on the job and at the top of the stairway found he had left a quantity of brush es and perfume. Besides the money MT. Sevin thinks that the goods taken amounted to about S5. He had noticed no strange characters about the place during the day.
 MT. Sevin was Informed of the break, as was Tyler Richards, clerk in the store, and they went to the store and made things secure, as well as looking over the stock. The fellow was seen leaving the window of the store about 1920 o'clock.

Motorman Harlow Ladd, one of the oldest employees of the Connecticut company. was thrown from his car and seriously injured about 6.30 o'clock Wednesday night when it jumped the rails in North Main street near the Reliance Worsted company mill, cross ing the roadway and plunging with great force into af stone wall at the home of Mrs. Eliza A. Weldon, No. 52 North Main street. The front trucks were ripped off and driven back under the car, leaving the front bump bar wedged up on the wall and the car tilted partly over, the rear trucks staying near the track, and twisting the car across the road at an angle of 45 degrees. The car was the Taft vile special which is due in the square at 6.3O, and the accident hap pened just after it had rounded the curve at the Reliance worsted mill and was on the straight stretch of track from there to the Marguerite corner. Wednesday night while the wreck was being cleared up Roadmas- ter Thomas Guynan pointed out a lot of crushed stone on the west rail of the south bound track, saying that a good sized stone had without doubt thrown the car off at this point.
 The injured motorman was taken to Backus hospital as soon as he was gotten out from under the car. At the hospital late Wednesday evening it was stated that he had no bones broken, but that he was in a semi conscious state, and it could not yet be told how badly he was hurt He had cut on the top of his head. in dicating that he might have a frac- tured skull. His family visited him during the evening at the hospital but he wAs notable to recognize them
 and Conductor George Carpenter. About ten or a dozen passengers were on board, mostly girls who work in the Taftville velvet mill. When the car struck the wall and tilted over, these were tumbled in a heap into the side rail, which prevented them from

 falling out. and none was injured. al- though they scrambled out with bruis- es and in various stages of mysteries. Motorman Ladd stuck to his post when the car first jumped and 1t ran along straight for some twenty feet, as shown by the wheel marks, but then swerved sharp to the right, climb ing the wall, scraping along and tear ing off the top stones for several feet before it came to a rest. The motor man was thrown from the front plat form when the car hit the wall, go- ing underneath and getting wedged near the front end so that he was dragged out with. difficulty. Conduc- tor Carpenter was on the rear end, having just started forward to look at his register. He was thrown off, but not injured.
 After Motorman Ladd had been pull ed from under the car he was treated by pr. E. J. Brophy. who happened to be on the next car passing for Greeneville. Dr. Brophy found scarce ly any pulse in the unconscious man, but revived him with an injection of strychnine and the ambulance was sent for. As it was slow in coming, Calvin l.. Swan offered the use or his automobile, in which the motorman was taken to the hospital, accompa- nied by Dr. George R. Harris. On the way Mir. Ladd revived enough to com plain of pains in his stomach. and when he was being lifted into the au- tomobile he cried out several times when the lifting hurt him.
 William A. ogden and the day crew from the barn arrived on the scene as quickly as possible and undertook the work of getting the line cleared up. Only the west track was blocked and a one-fvaqk service was kent m to the barn for the rest of the night. The car was jacked up and straight ened back over the track, the front trucks gotten out and the car placed back on them. At an early hour this morning the wrecking crew expected to have the car in shape to be lowed back to the barn for repairs.
