WOMAN BURNED IN A sHANTY.
Annie Murphy Dragged Out with
Her Clothing Afre.
Taken to Bellevue Hospital with
Little Chance of Recovery.

A watchman's shanty on East Thirty
third street, between First avenue and
the river. caught fire early this morn
ing and woman who was in there at
the time was so badly burned that she
may die. She says her name is Annie
Murphy. thirty-one years old. and that
her home is at 400 First avenue.
About l.30 o'clock Policeman William
Hughes heard the cry of fire, coming
apparently from the direction of the
river. He ran down there. but no one
appeared TO be moving.
The policeman looked I'D Thrty-third
street and saw a cloud of smoke coming
from shanty In the middle of the block
A sewer Is being cut through the street
thert, ana TWO shanties had been thrown
together 10 house the watchmen during
the night
Hughes ran up to the shanty and tried
10 smash In the door. As he kicked In
from the ruins came the yells of wO-
man.
Hughes saw that her clothes were on
fire. He dragged her out from the burn
ing boards and laid her on the sidewalk.
Then he ran to Bellevue Hospital for an
ambulance.
Another policeman, who by. this time
appeared, sent out a fire alarm. The
firemen came, but found no work for
them.
The blaze had started in a bag of
excelsior that had been used on bat
tered old lounge as a pillow. There was
little else in the room. The old stove
contained no fire. Near the lounge was
wnter pail and beer can.
The ambulance took the burned wo-
man to Bellevue. She told the surgeon
that she had been in this country only
three months. When asked why she was
in the shanty she said
II went there with my husband"
AT first she said her husbands name
was Martin and afterwards that II was
Lany. She did not know where he was
Her left side and breast are badly
burned. and the surgeons think there Is
little hope for her.
The Waterman who Is supposed to oc
cupy the shanty Is an Italian named
Joe Marrani There are some hard char
| acters in the neighborhood, and Marian
usually spends the night with hs fellow
Waterman, James Jerros, whose shanty
IL further up the street.
Both have seen the woman arounC
there frequently. JerrOs said that sh,
was usually accompanied by a one
armed fellow known as Mike Morris
He saw the couple go down towards the
river front last night after midnight
and believes they went into the shanty
Morris Is known to be a member of q
tough gang which has its headquarters
in that vicinity. He usually Is seer
around saloon at Thirtythird street
and First avenue, but the loungers there
last night said they did not know OF
him.

unless some means are devised to have
the necessary duties Of carriers per-
formed In shorter hours than has been

Fifth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile n otlreI drpr-a
