Death of a Stranger in This City.

Mr. James Crozier, of Houtzdale, Clearfield county, came to this city
some months ago and obtained work in the company shops here, having
engaged board at Mrs. Maggie Gracey's Fifth avenue and Fifth street.
A few weeks since, during the prevalence of typhoid fever in that ward
- the Eighth - he was stricken down with the dread disease, and after
being removed to Mrs. Brumbaugh's, Tenth avenue and Seventh street, he
died on Thursday evening.  The announcement of his death was sent to
Houtzdale and upon an answer being received the following facts were
developed.  The name of the deceased was not Crozier; his real name
was Cutler - John Cutler.  He had a wife and two children at or near
Houtzdale.  His relatives came on to this city after his death, for
the purpose of taking his remains to Houtzdale for interment, but upon
application the Pennsylvania railroad Co. - on account of the disease
which was the cause of his death - refused to transport the remains,
and therefore they were taken back to the place of his nativity on a
wagon and will be given burial to-day.
