BORN AMID MISERY.
STORY OF WANT AND DESTlTUTloN
OF THE HONEY FAMILY.

The Children Half-Nsked and Crying for
Bread-A Half Pound OF Crackers
Divided Among sIx-Saved From starv-

In building, part stable and part
house, near Seventh street and Green.
hill avenue, Silverbrook, lives Joseph
Honey, his wife and six children. The
family moved there about six weeks ago
from the eastern section of the city.
Previous to Thursday of last week they
Ii ged in destitution and want and two
members at least would probably have
died had it not been for the timely
help of some people who live in the vicin
ity. The husband and Oldest boy have
not worked for many weeks
When the good people visited the
house it was devoid Of furniture, except
Of the rudest kind In the kitchen was
a stove and a rough table There was not
a bit of food In the house to give to the
eight hungry mouths. Many of the
children were bare footed and only
scantily clad. The woman earned
little money by taking in washing until
Wednesday night. when she was taken
Ill. The money derived from this work
would not feed and clothe the children
and often they went to bed crying for
something to eat.
On Thursday morning the woman gave
birth to a child Only the day before
she had done some work and with the
money bought half pound of crackers.
These she divided among ethe children.
When the woman was taken sick no doc
tor was summoned, as there was no pros
pect of paying him. Some women
were summoned and cared for her until
all danger was passed.
Not until this day was it known how
poor the family WAS. The room where
the sick woman lay was bare aud
desolate-looking, and contained nothing
but bed and table There was not a
chair In the whole house. Here the noble
Christian spirit of tie women showed it
self They brought food and clothing
from their own homes and assisted in
the cooking of the food.
The mother as well as the children was
almost naked, her only garment being
an old wrapper. There was no fire in
the sick room and only an old quilt on
the bed Not a garment had been made
for the young child and it WAS also sup
piled with clothing by the women In the
vicinity. Enough food was given the
family to satisfy their present needs.
Had the boy spoken of been able 10 OBJ
tain work, be could not have accepted 1t
as he had no shoes 70 wear. He was
given pair Of shoes by one Of the
| neighbors Should the weather get cold
the family would suffer for want Of
| fuel
Mrs. E B. Cullen, Mrs. ]. P Ratledg'
and Mrs Ortho Selby were those promi
nent in helping the family.

sometimes It was more than year be-

three times and as she repeats the word
It seems each time TO be farther away.

Councilman Tyre Said to Have Origi-
mated in the Cherry Island Marsh Com
pany.
Speaking of the resolution introduced
In the Council chamber on Thursday
night by Councilman Tyre for "dessica
ting" establishment in the Ninth ward
another councilman says:
"That resolution was pushed by City
Solicitor Elliott, who is an attorney for
the Cherry Island Marsh COMPANY. He
and member of this company were very
anxious that 1t should be rushed through
in one night Should this bone factory
be started 1t will probably lead to the
purchase of the rickety buildings, which
are now owned by the Philadelp phians,
Messrs. Tulan and Kelter, and this will
act as a boom for the sale of more Of the
marsh property.
THE establishment of the 'dessicat
ing factory would certainly be detri-
mental to the health of the Ninth ward
And then Mr.. Tyre says that the Board
of Health does not object, but the citi
zens OF that ward will.
Here is a paragraph Of a health ordi-
nance passed by City Council on August
10, 1882:
80 II shall not be lawful after the
passage Of this ordinance for any person or
persons 10 erect or bring into use within the

pose 10 originate such business within one
mile OF the city limits shall first obtain the
consent of the mayor and Council Of the city,
and every person who shall violate the pro-
visions Of this ordinance shall forfeit and pay
a fine Of SlOO, and so for every day such
