where he soon obtained work and was moder
ately prosperous as cabinet-maker's en-
ploye. At length he became employed in
the Washburne mills under the wheelright,
and had first-class situation. At the time
of those terrible explosions which are still
familiar to all, and which caused the instant
demolition of Washburne's large mills, he
was at work in one Of the buildings. He
escaped with his life, but received q
broken arm and badly-bruised head. He
was laid up for long time, and
the money he saved had to 60 for
medical attendance. When be became able
to work, work was not to be obtained, and
his resources were fast dwindling into insig-
nifcance. Two weeks ago he came to Chi
cago, and had on his arrival just SO in
money. He rented a room at cheap rate
on State street, and commenced to look for
work. He has walked the entire city over,
and has done an honest mans part in en-
deavoring to find something to do. His feet
have become so sore that he is hardly able to
stand on them. He is now out of money.
and in utter despair he went to the station
and made the request that he did. He hopes
that he will be taken care of until navigation
opens, when he thinks he can obtain passage
on some of the steamers home. He used to
be employed on the Peerless, and thinks he
will find friends on it. he says he has
found opportunities to work if he had only
been able to furnish his tools. That he
could not do. He claims to have good ed
ucation, and to be able to keep books; GER
tainly he writes good hand, as the note to
the captain showed. He would do anything
under the sun that is honorable, and he Las

About o'clock yesterday morning DR..
Caine was called on to dress the wounds of
Frozen to Death.

A couple of men from the town of Rich
mond, arrived in this city about o'clock
yesterday afternoon, in search of John Sa-
velle, farmer of Somerset township, Wis,
who had been missing from home since
Tuesday. The story as related by one of
the gentlemen IS as follows:
Savelle had been to Somerset attending
election, and in company with couple of
neighbors started for home about 9 o'clock
that evening. About mile from Somerset
the roads diver ged, and he leaving his
friends, started on alone, having about three
miles to 90. This was the last seen of him.
Although slightly under the influence of
liquor when leaving Somerset, it was not
thought that he had taken enough to en-
danger him. Not putting in an appearance
at his home, a search was instituted, but
without success, and suspicion of foul
play took possession of his friends. The
search was kept up, two of the men coming
here as stated. Shortly after their arrival a
messenger came into town with the infor-
nation that Savelle had been found frozen
to death about sixty rods off the road, two
miles from his home. Mr.. Savelle leaves a
wife and ten children in Strengthened cir
| cumstances. The eldest of the children is q
| boy 16 years old.

[Chicago Times.
Il is enough to move heart of stone to
pity to stand in police station for single
hour, during any evening, and see the misery
of humanity which only there finds express
sion. Much of the suffering which may be
noticed is justly deserved, but now and then
case comes to the surface which illluck
seems to have more control over than any
fault of the victim. Such case was at the
armory lastsnight. At II o'clock a young man
came into the station and quietly handed
Station-keeper Mahoney piece OF paper.
He seemed unwilling to trust his voice, and
waited quietly until the document was read,
when he was directed to pass down stairs
where the lookup keeper would give him
cell. The note read as follows:
POLICE CAPTAN-,S1r:: Since it is my
misfortune to be entirely destitute since my
arrival in this city, and since l can not IN
any way procure employment, having now
walked entirely over the city, and was willing
to work for my board and lodging, but not
even then could I procure employment, you
will confer on me great favor by sending
me somewhere, if it must be to the bride
we'll, until the boats start to run then will
try and get home. Yours, J. sEAR1Es.
