OUTRAGE AND PROBABLE ROMICIDE.
A Drunken Husband Kicks His Wife
Almost n Death.

Almost to Death.
Shortly after six O'Clock last night there occurred
in the tenement house No. $40 East Fifteenth
street dastardly OF wife beating, the effects
OF which will probably consign the unfortunate
victim to the grave. At little before six O'Clock
Thomas Murphy, aged forty returned home under
the influence of liquor. His wife, Margaret, was
at her sewing machine engaged on some work
he entered, and at her side sat her daughter
Susan, aged fourteen. Without cause or provocation
Murphy began applying indecent epithets to his
wife, to which she made no reply, but kept on
sewing. Iniuriased at her Silence the drunken
man snatched the work she had in her lap from
her. and throwing it into the stove, struck her
over the head with his clenched fist. She bounded
from the chair and attempted TO get away. but
before she could do SO he administered several
neavy KICKS win his boots on her person, telling
ner to the floor. Although severely injured, she
rallied sufficiently to assume the defensive, and
selZln9 stick OF wood lying on the noor, hurled
1t at his head, striking him the lace.
He again sprang at her and, pulling her across the
heated stove, kicked and pounded her without
mercs. The little girl had all this time been iran
her efforts useless, now quickly ran for O police
man. In lew moments Officer Baker. of the
Eighteenth precinct, arrived and succeeded IN
arrestlng Murphy. whom ne took to the Twenty
second street police station house, where he was
locked up.
Some OF the neighbors, coming in after the
arrest. attended, best they could. the suffering
woman until an ambulance was called, when she
was conveyed to Bellevue Hospital, where her in.
juries were pronounced probably fata and char
acteriZed as a severe internal hemorrhage.
From information elected from the inmates Of
the house it appears that Murphy has before on
many occasions. beaten his vile. He Is frequently
under the influence OF liquor, and when so is ex-
cessively cruel.
Besides the daughter mentioned above there
are two other children younger
The story of repeated cruelty on the part OF the
husband as told the reporter by susan, is one
abounding in barbarous and almost fendish acts

FIRE ON THE PALISADES.
Terror Among Hotel Guesfs-A stable
burned but NaIuahIe Horses Sa vsd

At about one O'Clock yesterday Gre was dis
covered on the top floor OF the barn and stables
attached TO the hotel situated on the Palisades
about two miles from the village OF Enpiewood,
N j. The property was owned by company OF
gentlemen among whom are william y. Dana,
william Walter Phelps George ;. Coe are state
senator Lydecker. VINO is president OF the COM
pany. The origin OF the ire Is not known, but n II
supposed TO have been caused oy some OF the en-
pl0yes carelessy throwing lighted match or cigar
among the nay. The property was insured Tor
nearly it's luil value, chiefly IN une Bergen County
Insurance Company, local company. The stables
were kept by Taylor Brothers. VINO, having no In
surance, lose considerable. Quite a large number
OF fine horses were stabbed here, which were
owned by guests OF the hotel. The horses, car
riages and most OF the harness were saved The
hotel is fully 900 feet from the barn, and the flames
were blown by the wind in the opposite
direction; still, the ladies became so ex-
cited that In very few moments the stairs
and railways were literally crowded with trunks,
clothing, &C, and their fears could scarcely be
allayed. Those who lose most because all their
worldly possessions are nine c0lOred walters VINO
occupied one Of the lofts In the barn as sleeping
apartments. and one mourns the loss OF terrier
he had chained In his room. In less than forty
minutes there was nothing lett OF about $1,000
worth Of property except ashes and the foupda-
