Trip to New York.

The high-class features characterizing the excursions run by the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R. Go. were exemplified in the recent trip to New York, which is to be repeated on Oct. 29th. Rate of S1.25 for the round trip. No tickets will be sold after the capacity of the train, which is strictly limited, has been reached. Special train leaves Canaan at 7.10 a. m., returning leave New York at 6.25 p. m., giving upwards of seven hours for seeing New York.

Through Coal Line.

The Consolidated road last Friday se- cured control of the New York, Ontario 6 Western road, which gives the former direct line into the coal regions. Rumors that the Consolidated road was to get this line have been afoat for some time. The Ontario 6 Western is a coal line, and gives the Consolidated con- manding position in regard to Western rates.
 The Ontario 6 Western connects with the Poughkeepsie Bridge route, which is controlled by the Consolidated. Railroad men say the result of this pur- chase will be to give the Consolidated road the control of the coal tonnage of the New England market, and will have a tendency to lower the cost of the fuel.

NEW PRESSED BRICK co.
Great Harrington Concern to Use
 New German Method.

A. l.. Barnes, president of the A. & M. Barnes lime company, has organized the Berkshire pressed brick company, which will immediately begin the manu- facture of brick under the Herennekes system, which is comparatively new In this country, having been carried on Ill Germany for the past 20 years. The company has organized under the Mass achusetts laws, and is capitalized at $150,000. They already control the rights for Berkshire county, and expect soon to control the state. The bricks will be manufactured from sandstone, clay and other ingredients, and can be sold from $12 to SIS a thousand, while the common pressed brick cost S22 to $50 thousand. The process is a quick one, and within 24 hours the brick can be made ill any desirable colors. They have been tested at 16O,OOO pounds each, or 5000 pounds to the square inch. The absorption of water is less and durability greater than the clay brick. The company has already bought property from the Louie Schneider estate on the West Sheffield road, where they will locate their yards and ovens, and by February they expect to have $50, ,OOO plant in operation, with an output of 10000 brick a day, which can be increased if necessary. The section which has been bought for this new undertaking is especially adapted for the manufacture of brick under the Herennekes system, as the property con- tains all the necessary ingredients. The company has elected the following of fcers: President, W. A. Neracher, presi- dent of the G ,odale marble company; treasurer, A. L. Barnes, president of the A. & M. Barnes lime company; secre- tary, A, P. Freeman of the New Eng land lime company. The above officers, with s. D. Pierson of Geneva, N. Y, retired lumber merchant, will constitute the board of directors.-Springield Re publican, Oct. 21.

Sonesl0wn Boy Badly Burned.

The fOurteen-year- -old son of Mr..
George Hazzen of Sonestown, had Il
narrow escape from being fatally
burned Sunday morning while at
tending to the fires in the Methodist
church at that place. The fires had
been built in the stoves on Saturday
and Sunday morning about eight
O'Clock the boy went to the church
for the purpose of giving the fires
draft in order to warm the building
for Sabbath School, bul on arriV
ing there he found the fires low and
thinking they had gone out during
the night, he proceed to pour kerO-
sine on the coal in one of the
stoves and applied lighted match
which caused an instant explosion
by coming in contact with the gases
from the burning Goals underneath
the dead top coal. The flames shot
through the open stove door into the
boys face, burning off his eyebrows
and hair over his forehead and ig-
hitting his clothing, but with rare
presence of mind he beat out the
flames before going into the open
air, thus saving himself from what
might have been far more serious
burns. Medical assistance was sum
moned aud everything possible was
done to relieve the sufferer.

Farmers mutual fire insurance cOm
panies have made tremendous growth
during the past few years. And since
the Patrons of Husbandry have become
10 powerful in numbers and influence
they have found the insurance feature
Of the Order more and more popular
until today there are fourishlng grange
insurance companies in at least fifteen
states, carrying about $120, 100000 In
policies, strictly among members OF. the
Order
Some interesting statistics fave been
gathered by the New England Home
stead bearing on the subject. In Con
necticut grange insurance has been in
force for sixteen years, and the 1900
policies now cover value OF $2.044,-
900. The average cost per thousand Is
$40. Maine carries $9,O50.0OO in
9,098 policies at an average of about
$3.50 per thousand. Massachusetts has
over $1,OOOOOO In $50 policies and has
been in the business for two years
only, as the state fOrbids the fncorpora-
ton Of any kind Of mutual fire in
surance company without at least ST.
600, 600 in risks when the charter Is ap-
piled for. New York has twenty-five
grange companies, carrying $bs, 73S, ,632
in 3S,450 policies. Losses and expenses
for three years amount to $3s'B. 900. the
average yearly cost to insured being
S225 Some OF the New York CON-
panies carry as much as $9,DO.OOO and
only two OF them less than $1.0OO,OOO
in risks. The law limits the business
of mutual companies to three counties
in that state. Pennsylvania. with eight
companies, comes next, with $ls,2O9,-
900 in risks carried by 1888 policies at
an average cost Of $1.93 per thousand
since organization. New Hampshire
has $6,O00,000 in inst vance op farms in
4,174 policies and has been in the busi-
ness for sixteen years Her fire losses
in 1902 were $l1.s68 Michigan car
ries $12,0OO,OOO in insurance. There
are about twenty companies In that
state. mostly new ones, and State Mas
ter Horton says that the average rate
since organization Is between 80 and
30 cents per thousand. Other, state 4
have grange insurance as follows:
Kansas, $2,142.0OO In 1852 policies:
Ohio. $S.396,0OO; Colorado, $2S7, 600;
Delaware, $643.OO0; Rhode Island.
100000; Washington. $260,OOO: West
Virginia. 100000; Oregon, $560,0OO.
The strong feature in this Patrons
insurance is the high quality of select
ed risks among the most desirable class
of farmers and the economy with which
the business is managed.
