A Carrier Boy Breaks Hls Leg.

Edward Miller, one of the carrier boys OF
the GLOBE on Dayton's bluff, met with pain
full and serious accident early yesterday morn
ing. About o'clock In the morning he
started in his two-wheeled vehicle to come to
the Office for his papers. To make the trip
little shorter and quicker he drove down
Fourth street with the intention of passing
through the Fourth street vladuct. Unfortu-
nately as he drove under the track
railroad train passed over the bridge above.
In passing over, the train made such
laundering noise, go suddenly and unexpect-
eddy that the horse was fearfully frightened
and started upon run, throwing the vehicle
against post. The suddenness OF the move
msnt and the collision threw the boy out and
stunned him so that he was unconscious for
some time. As the place where the accident
happened IL an unfrequented one, hs was not
discovered. Some time after Che does not
know how long, he recovered Consciousness
and when he had gathered his senses he found
that his right leg was broken below the
knee. Notwithstanding this he managed to
hobble over to the Nicollet house, on the
corner of Kittson' and Fourth streets, where
be made known his misfortune and was
taken home out on Dayton's Bluff, beyond
DR.. schifman's residence.

SUFFERING FOR FOOD.

A Singular Report from the Great State Of
Iilinois-The People Of Several Counties
Actually Suffering for Food - Desperate
Efforts to Keep Soul and Body Together.
SPRINGFIELD, H., Feb. 17.-It Is well
known that several counties in the southern
and southeastern part of Illinois suffered a
shortage of crops last summer and are under
going great inconvenience in CONSCIENCE.
Lately it has been reported that some people
are starving This statement Is mnch exag-
gerated. None of the Inhabitants are
in great danger of it, but great many
are In need is true. Some time ago letters and
petitions began to be received from that Sec
ton of the state. asking the governor to incor-
porate in the call which will probably be is
sued for an extra session of the legislature
clause suggesting relief for the afflicted coun-
ties by way of extending the time for payment
of taxes. Recently many letters have been re-
ceived in opposition to this as unnecessary, al
leging that as it would have to be general 1t
would derange the finances of the state, and
stating that needy people would be
cared for by the local charity of in
dividuals, and, when necessary, that county
boards would come to their assistance. The
State Journal of this city has had q reporter
IN these counties for the past two weeks, and
the accounts received indicate that in Wayne,
Franklin, Wabash, Saline, Gallatin, White
and some others, corn was scarcely worth
the harvesting and wheat was practically
failure. The result is that small farmers and
the poorer class of tenants we're deprived of
the means of subsistence, and have been OBJ
liged to sell their stock, and, in some cases,
their teams, to buy food. Destitution is
found chiefly among this class of people.
The worst report yet received comes to-day
from Saline county, and says: In this county
nothing was raised, not even grass. There are
farmers in the county, as we'll as people who
are not farmers, who are as near starvation as
they we'll can come without actually starving.
They are living on anything they can convert
into food to keep soul and body together.
Their situation might be imagined, but one
would have to see it to fully understand it.
Local charity organizations are being formed
for relief. Reports on crop prospects from
that section are very encouraging, and are
doing much to revive the spirit of the people,
though many will undoubtedly need relief
before they obtain it from the new crop.

from Lawrence, and are on the way from sew
eral other cities which have been called upon
for help. The fire covers the entire tract from
the railroad to Little river, anc between Essex
and Wingats streets and the river. The flames
are still raging, and the prospects for getting
control over the FIRE are at this hour every I'm.
favorable. No direct reports from the scene
Of the conaagratlon can be obtained. The fire
can be seen from Boston, Lawrence, Andoyer
and many other places from twenty to thirty
miles from Haverhill.
The first direct report from Haverhill saws:
the First National bank and Five Cent Savings
bank are all in the lower part of Washing ton.
It is burned and there is no knowing where
the fire will stop.
The operator at the depot says the fire is
getting uncomfortablY close, and he is afraid
be will be forced to desert his post.
The fire, he says, covers at least ten acres
pretty thickly built up. The Smith block,

Bishop building, Union block, and Coffin
building, on Washington street, and the
PiebIng building, on Wingate street, are
burned Loss several millions. Engines
are coming from Newburyport and Andover.

red in this vicinity. The streets are lined with
merchandise and furniture, and there is no
doubt number of people are rendered home

any person in Haverhill.
The main telegraph office is burned out and
connection between the center of the city and
the depot telegraph Office is thus severed. The
fire started in Endlcot &Arnold's sole leather
establishment, wooden block.
The alarm was first given at a quarter to
12, when the fire had gained such Roadway
that the local department could do nothing
to stay its progress.
At 1925 a. m. the fire can be seen from Boston
and Is evidently still warming fercely, No
loss of life or personal injury is yet reported
but it is feared here by friends
of residents at Haverhill, who know the loca-
ton of the fire, that some lives have been
lost.
At $50 a sudden burst of fame was noticed
from this city.
