WILLIAM ARLINGTON.
Another Peorian Who Says He Was
John Murphy.
+, His Father Evidently Convinced, But
Too Proud to Admit the Truth
The Coming Funeral.

And still the rich and proud DR.. MUIR
ply Of Peoria, ILL.,, refuses to admit that
the victim of Annie Manning's pistol was
his son, although his letters show that he
evidently believes otherwise. Under
taker Clark says the funeral Of the de-
ceased officer will take place probably on
Saturday.
Horace Clark, resident of Peoria, and
for forty years an intimate acquaintance
of DR.. Murphy, was in the city yesterday
on his way home from a trip to Alaska.
He stopped over here and visited the
Coroner's office to view Arlington's body,
but it could not be seen, as it is in her.
metically sealed casket.
MIR. Clark says that as soon as he COM
pared Arlington's photograph with the
one he had taken five years ago in Peoria,
he knew at once that Arlington and John
Murphy were one and the same person.
And he is convinced that DR.. Murphy is
satisfied that the dead policeman is his
son, but the doctor is very proud and
does not like TO acknowledge it, owing to
the circumstances attending the tragedy.
DR.. J. K. Laine-who first informed
the RECoRD-UNIoN of the supposed kim
ship between Arlington and DR.. Murphy,
on the night the former was shot-was
also visited last evening by Mr.. Clark.
DIR. Lame was formerly a resident of
Peoria, and knew DIR. Murphy init
mately. He says the doctor was always
an eccentric person, and had frequent
quarrels with members of his family. He
did not personally know the doctors
son, but a gentleman now in San Fran
cisco, who first called his attention to the
subject some time ago, went to school
with young Murphy, and he declared
Arlington was his old School-mate and
was sailing here under false name.
The matter was not known to anyone
but this gentleman and DIR. Laine lex
cepting Mr.. Younger), and was first
made public by the RECORD UNION on
the day following Arlington's death.
Mr.. Clark (the Peoria gentleman above
referred to) was asked if DR.. Murphy
visited California some twelve or thirteen
years ago, and he replied that he did.
This, tnen, bears out the statement made
by Len. Spurgeon that Arlington de-
clared at the depot one day that his father
had alighted from an Eastern train, and
he tArlington) left the depot to avoid him.
Mr.. Clark also said: 1.-The next thing
you know-but you may not know it,
after ali-Dr. Murphy will have de-
tective out here TO see whether or not his
son left any children. He is a very wealthy
man, but very clOse-tisted, and won't
want any grandchildren popping up TO
claim his money"

LOOKS LIKE A VOLCANO.
Mystery of a Florida Swamp Tha
Many have Tried to Solve.

Messrs. Castleman and Barbour, who,
with Mr.. Stayley as guide, went down
| into the Pinebrook Swamp to ferret out
| tlorlda's mysterious volcano, have re-
turned, like thousands of others, without
! the volcapo, says a writer in the Talla-
| hassee FlOTidida. They took observa-
tons from the eRst bank of the Waucissa
River, near the gulf, and saw the vast
| column OF smoke ascending skyWard.
| Having no boats to cross the stream they
could not make direct shoot for the loca-
ton OF the smoke, but had to move fur
ther up to start into the swamp.
| They were supplied with a good COM
| pass and an experienced engineer, but
| the swamp was such a dense Jungle of
canes, vines briers and undergrowth
generally that they had to literally hew
! out passage. After much hard work
they found that they We're progressing
only one and half miles per day. Cas-
tleman and Barbour have not entirely
given up the exploration, but will equip
| themselves better for the work and try it
again at later day.
For more than half century this mys-
| terlous column of smoke by day and
lame by night, rising in the midst of an
lmpenetrable swamp on the gulf coast,
has not only puzzled the rustic fisherman
and hunters who watched it from the
| outer edges of the swamp, but scientists
| il from elevated points about Tallahassee,
| thirty miles away.
BY day it presents the appearance of a
vast volume of jet-blaek smoke rising up
as though issuing from huge smoke
| stack, ascending high above the tree tops
and floating off on the breezes. At night
it presents a bright light, as though a
large house was burning and the flames
were not quite visible. 1t appears and
disappears at irregular intervals, but
always IN the same place. From Talla-
hassee 1t is southsoutheast, and when
burning can be plainly seen from any
elevated position. For more than twelve
months, few years ago, it was continu-
ously visible from the east windows of
the FLo11dion Office.
Numerous expeditions have started out
with sanguine expectations, but came
| back worn out and disgusted They can
get all around the mystery and see it
from any elevated standpoint, but when
| they start into the swamp, which is from
fifteen to thirty miles across in any direc-
tlon, they are met by insurmountable
barriers, beside snakes, alligators, mos
quitoes and sand flies.

THAT ENDED THE LESSON.
How a Bright Little Girl Broke He
Pretty Mamma All JJp

How a Bright Little Girl Broke Her
Pretty Mamma All Up.
There is a charming young widow in
South Minneapolis who retains a five
| year-old girl as the only pledge of her
dear departed, says a writer in the Trib-
| Une of that town. The little one has Just
begun to learn her alphabet. A gentle
man called upon the widow the other
| evening. OF course the fond mother
wanted to show Off her child. Taking up
a newspaper and pointing to the big let
ters in an advertisement the mother said:
What letter is that ?'
"a, responded the child.
"What comes after A?'
"B."
And what comes next?"
&C." lisped the little one
The inquiry was pursued still further,
but along toward the end Of the alphabet
the little girl lost her bearings and never
| answered a question.
Finally the gentleman thought he
would put few questions. He began
with this one:
what comes after T?"
The child looked him straight in the
! eyes as she answered.
"a man to see mamma"
