THE BODY FOUND.
arrisl V Father to vamily Hons
 en Dshlin Street.

After a search lasting nearly three days. the body of little Joe Urian0,- Who was drowned in Scovill's ditch
 Tuesday, was discovered shortly he. Tore o'clock yesterday afternoon iA Inc bend of the canal a short distance rom where he fell iri. This Is the spot that Superintendent Doran set his eye on as soon as he went out there. and investigation proved that he was right. The body was first seen by Richard c. Scrthey of North Riverside street, q young man 3 years of age, who was propelling himself through the water on large cake of ice. when he caught sight of the child's ear, and looking closer saw the remains of little Joe lying face downward on the bottom of the ditch. The body was taken out and carried to the bank, where it re- 'rained with the head resting on Nh Doran's lap until Medical Examiner Crane, who was in the neighborhood t;t the time, called and gave permis- sion for it's removal.
 The next number on the program vas the most affecting of all. Stout men who wrestled with the ice since the boy disappeared and never were heard to murmur, turned aside and wept, even the mischieyous urchins that you would think nothing could fcEch trembled and tears rolled down their cheeks when they saw the father and the rest of the family rushing down through the snow to where the tndy lay. This was bad enough, but 1t lacked the real leart-rending feeling that came over everybody when Joe's grandmother, who refused to remain in the house after she heard the body had been found, came down the alley way leading to the canal, pushed her way through the crowd up to the hody anG fell on her knees over 1t and com menced to pray aloud in her own tongue. It was scene which will not soon be forgotten by those who wit messed it. AS soon as order was re- stored the boys father, Francesca
 Uriano, picked mp the body in his arms, pressed 1t to his bosom and the
 melancholy march to the house across the way on Dublin street was con- menced. Talk about sad funeral cortege. but 1t is question if Dublin street, the route to two cemeteries, ,SNSh bCloiC luIulsueu Hucil IedTlul spectacle.
 Mir Doran said to-day that too much could not be said of the effort made by the residents of Dublin street and others to find the body. Everybody diO something and while all lost imple-
 ments of one kind and another that
 were used to battle with the ice, he
 heard nobody finding fault. The Sco- will Manufacturing Go sent out q big force of men and when the body was discovered two big gangs were at work I one at the Dublin street bridge and
 the other coming down to meet them. The body was not disfigured and moth. l ing that he had about him when he made the fatal step was missing but his cap. which was picked up on the ice immediately after the accident. He was comfortably dressed, with blue
 overalls to protect the rest of his clothing, and had on pair of new shoes. His cheeks were ruddy and all
 most as llfelike as when he was iu the flesh. The Urianos have several other children, but somehow it seems now that none of them Is like Joe. His mother has not slept since the boy was lostg and for that matter, nobody fir | the house has had any rest to speak of and the same thing might be saiG of
 nearly everybody in the neighborhood.
