SKETCH OF MURPHY.
The New New York Senator is an Irish
man From Away Back.

The New New York Senator is an Irish
man From Away Back.
New YORK, Jan. u.-[Speecial. THE
Senatorial bud which is now soon to make
his debut arrayed in the glories of the
toga, Edward Murphy, Jr., first saw the
light of day in Troy, N. Y. on December
10, 1888. His father and mother emigrate6
from Ireland in 1882, landing in Canada,
but soon after settled in Troy, where the
elder Murphy began business as brewer
in 1910, and made q large fortune. He
took his son into partnership and the
young man soon made himself remark
able as not only a smart business man but
popular member of the volunteer fire
department. At the age of 25 he was alder
man for the first ward, and continued in
office for several terms. Then he began
his political career, and was appointed
fire commissioner. He was elected mayor
in 1874. The Democratic party, which had
been disunited was soon brought into line
by the active leadership of young Murphy,
who was elected mayor without opposition
for four successive terms, and became the
Democratic leader of Washington county
and all that section of State. He was al
ways ready to fight for his party and to
give both his money and his time for its
benefit. 1t has been said by his oppon-
ents that he is not fit for senatorial po-
sition, for want of education, but there is
no truth in that, as he graduated with
honor at st. Johns College, Fordham. In
his person he is man of elegant manners
and address. Mr.. Murphy ia happy in his
domestic relations, and is eminently q
good husband and father.

Severe Test Case.
years..

Canton brick is again in the lead and in
a contest in Kentucky came in ahead OF
all others. A special correspondent
located at Newport, KY, sends the fol-
lowing from that city the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
The result of the test of bricks offered
by the several bidders for the paving Of
Fourth ana Isabella streets is as follows:
The Metropolitan brick offered by Charles
Spinks abs orbed the least water and was
marked as the best. Tho Hallwood block
presented by TraT & Brown, was the next
best, and the iuus Others offered fell
away below the above mentioned.
The Metropolitan brick, mentioned in
the foregoing, is tue product of the I'm
perial Brick Company OF this city and the
competition with this block has been
close. Competitions, however, find it very
difficult to beat the Imperial Brick Com
pany'a product, and the result 10 that this
brick 10 in universal demand. Mr.. Dagger,
who has been pushing the brick on the
market, is much pleased with the result
of the late test at Newport. He has re,
turned home. That Canton brick is
superior to all others is generally conS
