Mexico City, Dec. 13.-Dispatch
declares that Rear Admiral Fletcher,
commander of the American naval
forces in Mexican waters, ordered
the rebels and federals fighting at
Tampico to cease firing, threatening
to open on them with the guns of
the gunboat Wheeling if the order
was not obeyed. Both sides complied.
Rear Admiral Fletcher has ordered
foreigners to take refuge on board
ships or to congregate on the water
front where they will be under the
protection of his guns.
There is a growing belief that ADJ
miral Fletcher may, yet have to land
marines and blue jackets to protect
foreigners.
Gen. Villa will be notified that he
will be held responsible for protection
of all foreigners.

turned and stated that he had made
the rounds of all the hospitals and
had failed to locate his son. He next
sent a message to the bank at Grace
City inquiring as to his sons health
and whereabouts, and at once re-
ceived an answer stating that he was
at home and in his usual good
health The fact that the boy had
always been in excellent health and
was well-to-do. owning a large farm
in Dakota, aroused the suspicion OF
Mr.. Topp at once.

ments leading to the arrest here yes
terday of two men charged with set
ting off an east side tenement ON
Sept. 8. The accused men, Pietro
Gambroni and Antonio Leventino,
were held in heavy bail for hear
ing today.
Leventino was taken to Hacken-
sack and according to Deputy Po-
lice Commissioner Dougherty was
identified by the prisoners there as
the head of gang of black hand
bomb exploders operating in New
York and vicinity.
One OF the Hackensack prisoners
is said to have betrayed the gang
when part of his reward for firing
bomb was held back.
The confessions of the men in
Hackensack led to further arrests
last night, two being apprehended
on the charge Of extortion and two
others as counterfeiters. Captain
Henry of the United States secret
service took charge of the alleged
| counterfeiters and after a brief in

Marriage Of Bay State Couple Per-
formed by Socialist Pastor Causes
Widespread Comment.
FORMAL PRAYER rs OMITTED
Also They Agree to Perform Faith
fully all Duties Resulting From
Their Free Act and Deed.
PRAYER rs OMITTED

Boston, Oct. 10.-Clergymen all
over the land are discussing with
much interest the marriage of Maude
Abel Heath and John Theodore Men
denhall, of Beverly.
The wedding, conducted by Rev.
Paul Harris Drake, the socialist pas
tor" of Wollaston, was devoid Of all
conventionalities.
In a word, it was marriage of
two socialists, and was in many re-
spects similar to the recent wedding
of Edmund Trowbridge Dana to Miss
Jessie Holiday.
The Heath-Mendenhall wedding,
though, did not take place in the
open air.
An original ceremony by the
young pastor was used. Miss Men
denhall barred all the traditional
features of wedding, with the ex-
ception that the relatives of the
couple were present.
And Miss Heath did not promise
to love, honor and obey. The formal
prayer, too, was omitted.
Standing before the socialist min
lister, the couple about to assume the
responsibilities of married life listen
ed to the following preliminary
statement by the Rev. Mr.. Drake:
"This man and this woman, hav-
ing found in each other what they
believe to be their ideal Of virtue
and goodness, come to witness the
fact of their willingness to live to-
gether as husband and wife, and
their acceptance of all the RESPONSE
bilities and obligations resulting
from their joint partnership in mar
riage before me, an official of the
state.
"And by their voluntary act in
presenting their mutual desire for
the ratification of the state, do here
by contract, each with the other, to
perform faithfully all the duties re-
sulting from their free act and deed
in assuming this social marriage
contract.
"True marriage, to be real and en-
during, must be founded on intelli-
gent love. and must be a union Of
spiritual forces for the happiness and

COLLISION ON new
HAVEN KILLS ONE,
INJURIES eleven
Three of Those Hurt Expected to Die
Give Misunderstanding of
Orders as Cause.

Westfeld, Conn, Oct. 11.-As the
result Of a head on collision on the
Berlin branch of the New YORK,
New Haven & Hartford railroad, be-
tween Middletown bound steam
train and a Meriden bound electric
car here last night, Ralph A. Bly,
denbu rgh, Middletown, city editor Of
the Middletown Penny Press, was
instantly killed, and Max Glass,
Holyoke, Mass, Otto st. Arnold.
Meriden, a waiter, and Miss Frances
Florian, Rockfall, were perhaps fat
ally injured. Eight others were less
seriously injured.
The crash occurred near the local
depot. A single track from this
place to Middletown branches off at
a junction here, one line going to
Berlin and the other to Meriden. 1t
is said that through a misundcr-
standing Of orders, the trolley left
Newfield, few miles to the east on
the single track, where It should
have remained on siding. The Mid
dletown bound train got orders to
proceed, 1t is said, and few mo-
ments later the collision occurred.
Mr.. Blydenburgh, who was in
etantly killed, was one OF the best
known newspaper men In central
Connecticut. He was for many years
city editor of the Middletown Penny
Press and for more than fifteen
years a correspondent of The Asso-
ciated Press.
