ThaN Out Rails.

Owing to the sudden change iu the weather, one of the rails on the Berlin line spread to such an extent today that it had to be removed and replaced by a new rail. This was accomplished by special apparatus by which the old rail was "thawcd out" The accumulation of ice and snow and frost had such a firm hold on the rail that it was necessary to melt away the mass by oil burning apparatus With this accomplish ed ii was an easy matter to remove the rail and replace with q new one.

FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Board of Relief Has Much Work on Hand aud is Busy Every Afternoon Water May Halt Trolley Traffic .Again-Othcr News Items.

The drive for the fund for the New Nngton home for crippled children is nearing completion. The kcnSington district has turned $115 into the New Britain headquarters. C. w. Stevens, who is directing the drive in kensing- ton, stated this morning that the so- licuors had not completed their work ant there is d proba bility ot much larger amount being turned in before the end of the week. The condition of the country roads MT. stevens states. is such that the canvassers nave been seriously handicapped in getting around.
 Both Berlin and East Berlin are vet to be heard from on their returns. Tho pastors of the different churches brought the matter to the attention or Inc people Sunday with the result the fhcrc has been q more general re- sponsc to the call. George F. Dodd Is directing the drive in Berlin and K O. Clark in East Berlin. MT. Clark had 10 leave Monday for Cleveland to attend the bkcll manufacturers con Ncntion. but made arran;SeInCnts be f,Se he left for the work to be con tinued.
 It is thought that the town will raise more than $50O despite the trou- bIe the solicitors are having in getting around. New Britain's quota in the drive is Sc5.OOO and Bcrlin's amount is to be added to tho CitY's. On this basis the town Of Berlin should raise sS least s1.00O. but there is little probability of attaining this.

the melting ice and snow. As early as 12 o'clock there was more than a foot of water over the rails making it troublesome going for the cars. As soon as the water gets into the motors of the cars the ''fields' burn out. One day last week the water settled in front of the Berlin garage to such a depth that the cars could not pass. One which did go through burned out two motors. The motor man tried to get to New Britain on the two left, but by the time he had reached Sand Bank hill one more had burned out making it necessary for the calling of the repair car before the remainder of the trip could be accom- plished.
 This is not the first time that the water has filled beneath the bridge as this trouble has occurred, ire quenuy for the past 0 years. Every known means of carrying off the water had been devised but to no avail. Auto trucks as we'll cars stall at that point whenever there is heavy rainfall or extreme thaw.

The storms Aftermath.

The railroad men are hoping that with todaN's warm spell the worst of the winter is over. for never in the history of railroading, according to the men has there ever been such q tough" year. Some who were on the road back in 'SS state that although the blizzard paralNzed transportation for a time, when now was cleared away that was the end of their troubles. They state that tthe storm of this ear was q ''nagging' one as no sooner was one over than il was at it again, each storm tying up the line worse than the previous one
 Not only was the storm responsible for the tie-up this wear but also poor coal had sonnet hing to do with it. An engineer on the New Haven road stated an instance of this at the time of the big storm. Ordinarily. he said. when a train leaves Springfield for New Haven the tender of the engine is filled with coal 10 it's capacity Dur ing the worst period of tho storm one of the big engines with a heavy load left Springfield for New Haven and by the time Berlin was reached the coal had given out. making it neces- Sary to call on Meridcn for another engine 10 take the train through.

r. ". G. "A, CAMPAIGN ENDS.


Saturday, March l3 was the close of
the $4,000 y. w. G. A. campaign
which lasted two weeks.
The part taken by the colored women
is exceptionally worthy of eommenda-
ton since this was their first attempt at
such gigantic proposition. spurred on
by the beautiful ''grey house, on Tenth
street which is coming to mean SO much
to the women and girls of Des Moines,
the captains and their lieutenants found
ne obstacle too great to be surmounted.
The general, Mrs. Emerald Mash, was
repeatedly complimented by the com
mittees in charge of the drive at the cen
trail and as she made her daily re-
ports was loudly applauded. She can
not give her captains, Mrs. H. r. Graves
and Mrs. S. Joe Brown, and their lieu
tenants too much credit for their untir-
ing efforts.
The lieutenants under the captaincy
Of Mrs. III. II. Graves raised the total
sum Of $696.4S. Mrs. Graves deserves
much credit for this splendid amount in
as much as she was sick and unable to
work part OF the time.
Mrs. Brown, captain Of a division
and her lieutenants raise total of
$l,233.00. Both these captains had
some splendid workers and report of
the sum each individual raised will be
