The warm weather of Easter Sunday
followed by a heavy rain fall Sunday
night came near making the valley of
the Passumpsic and the Moose and the
Lamoile Mississippi flood on small
scale. 1t stopped just short of serious
trouble in all local instances, although
at Montpelier and Barre thousands of
dollars worth of property was damaged
The railroads were badly hit on the
Lake road. There was bad washout
near johnson and the Burlington &
Lamoile road beyond Cambridge juno
tion was out of commission, as usual
No serious difficulty over the east end or
south of US.
At Orleans on the Passumpsic divis-

severe ones further up the line neces-
stating the cancelling the mail train
service altogether and delaying the
through service twenty-four hours. The
trains were running regularly Tuesday
although considerably behind schedule.
Monday morning the water fell two
feet in the Passumpsic in forty-fve min
utes. The colder weather Monday and
Tuesday has relieved the congested con-
dition of the streams and will probably
abate any further trouble the present.

which she was standing, receiving quite
an injury to one of her limbs and a
general shaking up. She has been con-

CITED GIRL LEAPS FROM
! SECOND STORY.

Fire wiped out the Groveton Tavern
sst Friday morning shortly after Q
block
The loss is placed approximately al
sl5 700, partially insured. The build.
ing is a total wreck, ouly the four walls
standing.
1t was shortly after o'clock that one
of the employees of the hotel was'awak.
ened by smoke pouring into her room
The alarm was given and in a second
everything was in an uproar. The
smoke was so dense that Myrtle Niles,
Annie, Travers, and Florence Golf, EN-.
ployees of the place, were forced to take
hold Of hands in order to keep together
in their fight for the open air
In the meantime Manager Frank Tib-
bets had rushed to the room of H. c.
Bailey, a railway mail clerk. He broke
in the door, and with the, use of wet
towels over the face brought the man to
safety.
Mrs. Spaulding, an employee of the
place, escaped through back win dow.
The remaining guests all escaped thinly
clad.
Thursday night the hotel business
drops off somewhat as compared to the
first of the week, and as 1t was, only a
few guests were at the house. The con-
fagration continued until after 10
o'clock Friday morning.
1t is thought the fire started under
the kitchen range.
The Groveton Tavern was originally
q dwelling house, known as the Richard
son estate. About rs years ago it was
purchased by Harvey Goodwin, who
made additions and made The structure
into hotel. 1t was purchased about
eight years ago by Frank Tibbetts, who
has been conducting the house ever
since.
