NOT A. TRUE MURPHY.
He Had the Name and the Physique, but

He Had the Name and the Physique, but
Lacked the Brogue.
A Boston scion Of the great Celtic
family Of Murphy, while travelling in
Ireland recently, came across little
village where the man who did not bear
his patronymic was regarded as curl
osity. While wandering about this in
teresting hamlet he CHANGED to come
upon little tavern, and being athirst
entered the taproom for beer. Be it here
known that the traveller was considera-
bly, above the average in stature, and
this was noticed by two old habitues
sitting by the fire. One of these pres
emily remarked to his companion,
"Mike, that gintleman is taller than
Jerry Murphy, Oi think. "Ah, now, "
replied the other through the inch
stem Of T. D., "he's not"-with a
rising reflection on the end of the SEN
tence "Yis, he is, retorted the first,
with conviction. "Can't Oh see jerry u
mark there ON the dure?'
The travellers attention was then
called to doorpost whereon was mark
ed the stature of four men, all over 6
feet inches in height The tallest was
Jerry Murphy, and his mark was feet
51S inches Accepting this challenge,
the traveller stepped up to the doorpost
and had his height marked, and, lol il
was full half inch above that Of Jerry.
When he had written his name over
his mark, for he noticed that the others
were SO designated, and that they were
all Murphys, some one present called
out, "He's a Murphy tool" But one Of
the old fellows by the fire would not
have it SO and replied: "Indade he's
not. He hasn't got the broguel'-Bos.

and dependency, hope and fear
Arrangements for the construction of the
line were soon under way, and Alfred
Vail was appointed by the Postmaster

United States magnetic telegraph and
superintendent of the machinery depart
ment of the work, but 1t was not until
October that the process of laying the wire
in leaden pipes in the ground was COM
menced. Ten miles of this work had been
accomplished, when 1t was found that the
insulation had entirely disappeared.
After many days spent in discussion as
to the means Of overcoming this serious
obstacle, it was decided to place the wires
upon poles. which work was. however, not
commenced until the following April

miles from Washington, and, as the
following day, May l, was the date upon

A GOOD SIZED BLAZE.
Narrow Escape of Albaugh's and the
Hotel Randall.

RANDALL.
This morning about $50 o'clock a fire
broke out in the rear of the building l422
pennsylvania avenue. occupied by the
Champion steam laundry. general
alarm was turned in as soon as 1t was seen
how serious the fire might become, but be-
fore the flames could be subdued the whole
of the rear of the structure was Quilted
and the managers and other laundry ma
chimes were damaged, some of them beyond
repair.
This building is under the east end of
the Randall Hotel, and runs back for a dis
lance of about eighty feet. The front was
used as the laundry Office, and the rear as
the workshop. AS it STANDS now the whole
place is blackenec and charred. The big
plate-glasS windows are broken and the
roof Is completely burned out. The laun-
dry is a portion of the hotel. and is sepa-
rated from the main building by the fire
proof walls of the golden gate and the
wide entrance that is being constructed to
lead into the side of Albaugh's Opera
House. These walls were of the greatest
service in helping to conine the flames to
the portion of the structure where the fire
first broke out 1t was nearly an hour be-
fore the dligent work of the fire depart
ment had succeeded in extinguishing the
blaze The entrance which is being built
to lead from Pennsylvania avenue directly
into the opera house was damaged slightly
by the flames, but more by water. All the
contractors who at work there, how
ever, had orders to have double force of
workmen report this morning, and 1t is
Manager Aliens intention to have this new
addition open next Monday evening, as was
originally planned.
For time 1t was thought that the fire
must necessarily extend into the hotel, and
the result was that there came very near
being a panic among the guests. Many of
them sought places of safety in more re-
mote parts of the hotel without stopping
to go to the formality of changing their
night garments for more substantial raj
ment. Everything was done to allay the
alarm of the guests, and there were for
tUnately no serious happenings of any
sCrt.
The building is owned by ex-Commis-
s:oner w. b. Webb, who also owns the

This morning a few minutes before IL
o'clock there was a large crowd standing
around the corners on the avenue waiting

badly injured about the head, receiving sew
eral severe cuts and bruises. Lieut.. Boyle

jured lady and rendered her every assist
ance possible. An ambulance was at once
summoned and she was sent to her home
