TROLLEY TO CANAAN.
The Berlsshire Electric Railway May Possibly Soon Re Ex- tended From Great
 Harrington to
snnnnHI.

The Berkshire Cleaner of January 25 publishes the details of the transfer of the Berkshire electric street railway to the Consolidated Railway Company, and after mentioning the names of the original stockholders of the electric road and the present officers of the company, it remarks as follows:
 The continual queries as to why the Consolidated road wanted this property, the first one outside of the chain in Connecticut that has been bought up the last few years, resolves itself into this one answer, that the trolley had practically wiped out the local travel where it parallels the Housatonic. The lines will enable the steam road to drop off all way trains between Great Bar rington and Pittstield, and to do a through business untrammeled by stops at small places. But to accomplish this result to full advantage will call for the extension of the line to Canaan, and this was one of the first suggestions of business men commenting on the transfer. It is quite within the range of probability that this extension will be built, under the original charter.
 
 build an electric road, just a straighta- way track down through a level meadow.
 It occurred to the editor of the Glea- ner as soon as the announcement of the sale was made, that the Consolidated road was in position to operate the line more cheaply than the Berkshire com- pany, by utilizing the water power plant in Falls Village in possession of the New Haven people. We see this same thought has been ill other minds and has given rise to rumors that such a project would be carried out. But so far they are only rumors. However, they have practical basis, for it would be a simple matter to set up generators, build pole and wire line to Ct. Bar rington, or simply to Canaan if it should be decided to extend the line to that town, and turn the current onto the regular wires. That this would mean a large economy of operation goes without saying,

Pneumonia Remedy

The following old-time remedy for pneumonia is said to have merit ill it, and is strongly advocated by many who claim to have personal knowledge of its efficacy. It was formulated by one of the foremost physicians of New Eng. land years ago, and is said to have been used by him with uniform success:
 Take six to ten onions, according tc size, and chop fine, put in large spider over a hot fire; then add about the same quantity of rye meal, and vinegar enough to make thick paste.
 In the meanwhile, stir it thoroughly letting it simmer five or ten minutes Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs, and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear When it gets cool apply another, and thus continue by relocating the poultices In few hours the patient will be out of danger.
 Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until precipitation starts freely from the chest.

Robbers Get SI2.OOO.

Mrs. Johanna B. Lumpkin, well known in Canaan, lost $12,000 at her home in Bridgeport Sunday afternoon or evening in one of the most successful and complicated robberies that has been reported in this state for many years.
 The valuables lost consist of S6500 in United States bonds, $640 in cash, and five diamond rings and diamond brace let valued at $5O00. The valuables were kept in a chamois bag, hidden in fold ing bed, in Mrs. Lumpkin's bed room.
 Sunday afternoon there was company at the Lumpkin home, and ill dressing for the occasion Mrs. Lumpkin took several rings out of the bag, which she and her daughter, Miss Claudine Lump kin, put on their fingers, Mrs. LumpBin returning the chamois bag containing the rest of the valuables to its accustom- ed place ill the folding bed.
 The robbery was not discovered until after the company had left and prepara- tions were made for retiring. Mrs. Lumpkin was about to return the rings she and her daughter had been wearing when she found the little bag had dis. appeared. After making fruitless search of the room the police were notified. The police thus far have been unable to find a clew to the missing valuables, and their search has revealed nothing to indicate as to how the thieves entered the apartments.
 Mrs Lumpkin and her daughter are we'll known i'll Canaan, having for the past two seasons passed their summers here, boarding at the Warner House. They have many friends here.

 George P. Strong was called to Sheffield last Thursday to repair the damage done by the bursting of a hot water front of stove in the home ot Rev. MT. Bolster, pastor of the Congre gational church of that place. The water pipes had become frozen during the night, although there was fire il the stove, and when the fire was started up in the morning the heat caused steam to make with no place for it to g( on account of the ice in the pipes. Int pressure of the steam caused an ex plosion. The stove was completely wrecked, and a new one had to be pur chased to take its place. Many of tn, pipes of the hot water system wer' broken and twisted. Fortunately nt one was i'll the room with the stow, when the explosion occurred. MT Strong explained that the cause of thu explosion was the pipes freezing on botl sides the stove, thus giving no place fo the generating steam made from tn wAtsr between the frozen places.
