A ManCled Little One.

As a little colored boy of about ten years.
named Johnny Givens, was playing about
the cars near the Webster street depot. he
had one Of his feet crushed. His escape
from death was almos, miraculous. He and
another boy named Charley Root were on top
of some fat cars which were in motion, when
young Root jumped from one car
10 another. Johnny tried 70 follow
but did not spring far enough,
and he fell between the cars. Fortunately
he landed on one side Of the track and his
right foot was the only part OF him that lay
on the rail. In half a second the wheels had
passed over this foot, crushing il. The little
fellow got up and attempted 10 hop home on
the other foot but tainted away before he
proceeded but few rods He was then car
ried 70 his home, l5l1 Cunning street.

A HlUEOUS HUMAN.

In the short space Of four hours yesterday
Joe Hear, raging maniac, was guilty of
the crimes OF arson ana atte mpted suicide,
and al present he is chained TO the bars of
cell in the central station with his hands far
apart, so that he can do neither himself nor
anybody else any injury. All day the corri-
dors Of the jail have rung with his fierce
yells and meaningness Gibberish. He is 70
be turned over 20 the county commissioners
for examination. Hear has been a
has been in the police dock number of
times on the charge of vagrancy and drunk
enness. He is of short stature, small fea-
tured, and has no nose, the only apology he
has for such an organ being a couple OF holes
in his face. He has short, thin beard, and
is in every way a most repulslve-looking OBJ
lect. more suggestive of an animal than a
human. He has always had small stock Of
intelligence, and that modicum appears TO
have been lost
For two or three nights the family Of
Charles Ponz, living al 1904 Webster
street, took pity on him and gave him food
and lodging, but when his lu-
macy became apparent, they became
afraid Of him and Sunday night when he came
as usual, he was given food but refused lodg-
ing. This threw him into passion and he
left raving incoherently.

the Pontz family awakened Just in time 70

they saw the hideous maniac dancing in
wild and grotesque manner and giving vent
10 peals OF insane laughter A few buckets
OF water eNtngulshed the iiames. Near the
house stood an empty kerosene can and
few shayings showing the cause OF the fire.
The police were sent for ana the maniac was
taken 10 the central station. About $50
Butler, the !anitor, caught him in the act Of
attempting suicide. The madman had taken
q strong scarf, tied II about his neck, stepped
up on the benches, and tied il TO the highest
crossba When the laritor appeared he
was Just on the point Of jumping off and end
ing his life. Butler gave the alarm, and the
ja!ler and a couple of officers rushed 10 the
rescue in time 10 save the maniac from self
destruction. After a fierce struggle they
succeeded IN untying the scarf from hls
neck. He was then put in irons and chained
as above described.
