bers Of the Land League Executive. The
trial opened in Dublin on the 28th day Of
December, and finally, after nineteen days
hearing, ended in a disagreement of the

Letters in fac-simile purporting to have
been written by Mr.. Parnell, and proving
his completely in crime, were given in the
pamphlet. They were denounced as forgeries
by Mr.. Parnell; and such they proved to be.
They were the work of the william Richard

A FATAL MISTAKE.
Four Persons Perish in New York
Tenement House Fire.

Four Persons Perish In a New York
Tenement House Fire.
: Four persons perished in fire early on q
recent morning in the flve-story brick tene-
ment house at Hudson and Domiuick streets,
New York City. 1t is asserted that no lives
would have been lost but for the mistake
made at the quarters OF Book and Ladder
No. in North Moore street. When Officer
John McGrath discovered the flames, he
sent in the alarm from box No. 1872, but at
the Hook and Ladder quarters the signal was
in some unaccountable way understood to
be box No. SO, at Jay and Washington
streets. The truck had gone two blocks in
the opposite direction before it was stopped
and turned about
On arriving at the burning building the
firemen found that the flames had made
had made their exit by the fire escape. -Four
never found their way out, and died from
suffocation. Their names are:
Mrs. Annie Murphy. thirty-two years old,
wife of Matthew Murphy. Josephine Ryan,
five years old, Mrs. Murphy's niece. Kate
Dunn, twenty-three years old. dressmaker.
John Touhey, eight years old, Mrs. Murphy's
son by a previous marriage; died in st. Vim
cents Hospital soon after being taken from
the building.
Up to the time Of the arrival Of the tardy
hook and ladder truck it was supposed that
every one was out Of the building, and that
the flames were confined to the lower part Of
the house on the Douinick street side. When
the hook and ladder company arrived. Mat
thew Murphy, fireman, jumped from the
truck, shouting wildly, "Great God, it's my
house! My wife and my children! Where are
theyg'
With one jump he reached the end of the
swinging ladder, and then leaped up ladder
after ladder to a fifth foor Finding the
windows OF the rooms occupied by his FAM
ily closed he smashed in the sash and made
his way through the sitting smoke to
his wifes bedroom. Another fireman
named McLewee followed a few mo-
ments later, and found Murphy kneeling over
the dead body OF his wife. while near by
were his two stepsons, John and Martin.
Cropping about in the darkness and the
smoke they found the blackened form OF lit
tie Josephine Ryan, the dead woman's niece.
and in the hallway at the foot Of ladder
leading to the roof was the body OF Kate
Dunn. Her hands were clasped about the
rung of the ladder, and she had evidently
been overcome while trying to pull herself
up to safety on the roof.
Murphy had been married less than
month. Mrs. Murphy was the widow OF Po-
liceman Touhey, who died six years ago. Mr.
and Mrs. Murphy were dissatisfied with their
home in the Hudson street tenement, and
had made arrangements to move to other
rooms in Perry street next day.
The damage by the fire is less than 5000.
1t originated in one Of the woodrooms in the
cellar, and is believed to have been OF in
cendiary origin
