From the Hagerstown Free
Press of 1892:
A man by the name of Kearney
citizen of Boonsboro, came to his
death in Pleasant Valley by the
falling Of a well bucket on his
mead. while he was in the well.
The corporate authorities of Ha-
gerstOWn have instituted a board
OF health whose duty it will be to
adopt such rules and regulations
as in their discretion they NAV
deem necessary to guard the citi-
zens Of the town against the in
oads and ravages of the pestilence
that is prevailing in our county
and On our borders" The cholera
was raging at that time.
The following was an article on
THE Cholera in Hagersown": We
doubt whether there is CITY.
town or village in the United
States that the cholera has visited
in which such panic has been
created as in Hagersown. The
people, in fact, are almost beside
themselves and so much are the
major part of them alarmed that
even at the sight of a coffin they
will leave the streets and shut
mselves up. Within the last
week how many cases have hap
pened we cannot tell but this we
know - there have been five
deaths but whether they were
from cholera or not we cannot tell.
Three of the number were citizens
Mr. Croft, Mr.. Watts and Mrs
Pickett. And to the shame of or
citizens be it said scarcely could
single individual be found who
would be willing to perform the
necessary duties preparatory to
burial = in fact Mr.. Croft. a man

an inhabitant of the town for the
past forty years, lay in his bed
as he died from 10 o'clock in the

been preserved and presented for re-

purchasers would have been s6,173.
That figure is three per cent of
s2O5, ,785, which was the total amount
of sales tax collected in Hancock
county in 1888.

Lower Tax Delin-

Collection of the June installment

ed and County Treasurer Tell
Thompson called attention to the
fact that delinquent December tax

if paid soon.
Ohio law now provides a penalty
of only 21a per cent if the tax is
paid within 80 days after the audi
tors settlement. This occurred April

apply until May 20.
A penalty of per cent is pro-
