The Pawlet end probably will not be built as the commissioner is fighting a hard battle with the plague, with his whole family sick, some of whom have been taken to the new hospital in Granville, N.Y., which had its birth last Sunday, and now has about 40 patients. Five persons died at Granville today. PAWLET HARD HIT BY EPIDEMIC. West Pawlet has been hard hit by the epidemic. Seven or eight here died in the village and around 20 percent are sick. Dr. Horner called at over 60 houses in one day, each house having one or more sick in bed. Two brothers were buried in the same grave Tuesday. Some were buried Wednesday and three Thursday. The German war relic cars passed through here to Granville and back to Salem Thursday. AN ATTEMPT TO BURN PROPERTY. Wednesday night Mrs. Lockwood, who lives at West Rupert, saw a light from her window. Going out to investigate she found a lighted torch in the leaves between the house and barn, which are but a few feet apart. Some one had thrown it in from the highway. A bundle a cloth was tied to the end of a stick about two feet long which had been soaked in some inflammable substance as the cloth had not burned much. NO LIQUOR FOR USE IN SICKNESS. There is no liquor to be had in Pawlet or Granville, N. Y., to bridge the sick ones over the epidemic. Such a condition will not aid the cause for a bone-dry nation. It is certainly going too far.

From Rutland, Vermont, newspaper: A FATAL RUNAWAY ACCIDENT, In Which Orval H. CROSIER, of Rutland, Loses His Life. Rutland, April 19, 1900 "The most distressing runaway accident that has occurred in Rutland in recent years happened about 6 o'clock Saturday night, and resulted In the death of Orval H. CROSIER, of 19 East Washington Street, shortly after 12 o'clock Monday morning. It was found by the physicians who attended him that death resulted from a fracture at the base of the skull and the attendant hemorrhage. Mr. CROSIER was driving a horse he had recently purchased, hitched to a light open buggy. The latter part of the afternoon he had taken his children for a drive. He returned about 6 o'clock and left them at the house. He then intended to take his wife out for a drive. In driving out of the yard before he had taken his wife In, the horse, which was young and had not been driven much, began to act unruly. Mr. CROSIER struck him with the whip and he began to run. Mr. CROSIER soon got the animal under control, drove around the block and returned and drove Into the yard again. In turning around the second time the horse became stubborn and began to back up. Mr. CROZIER then struck him with the whip somewhat harder than at first. The horse started to run again and soon became unmanageable. Mr. CROZIER either jumped or was thrown out of the buggy In front of the house of George E. CLARK. He struck on the back of his head and on his shoulders and was found unconscious. He was taken to his home in the ambulance. The horse ran down Washington Street and through Merchants' Row, where Policeman SMITH made an effort to stop him, but was knocked down in the effort. The horse was stopped at last on Elm Street by Frank HALE. The buggy was in an upright condition, indicating that probably Mr. CROZIER jumped from it. Mr. CROZIER was 37 years of age and was born at Halifax. He attended the Slocome Business College of Buffalo, NY, was married September 22,1866, and came to Rutland soon after. He had been connected with M.E. Wheeler & Co. ever since that business was established here, was held in the highest esteem by his employers and filled the importantposition of looking after the voluminous correspondence of the firm. Mr. CROZIER leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus CROZIER, and a wife (Martha POWERS CROZIER) and two children, a son (Robert) 7 years old and a daughter (Esther) 6 years of age. He is also survived by four sisters and five brothers." He was my great grandfather. Jan Jordan, jnrose at webtv dot net
