Mr.. Dennis F. Murphy, who for forty eight
years has been associated with the work of
reporting the debates in the Senate. died
last evening at his apartments at the Coch-
ran. For several years Mr.. Murphy has
been in bad health. having been severely in

During this period he has not been actively
at work and his health has gradually failed.
Wednesday night he was seized with a
stroke of apoplexy and death resulted about
twenty-four hours later.
Mr.. Murphy was regarded as probably the
foremost stenographcr in the world. His
lcbS service, as well as his reputation for
accuracy and speed, have made his name a
household word among ell shorthand re-
porters, and his work in reporting the de-
bates of the Senate, and other feats of
stenosraphy which he has accomplished,
have become monuments of the craft. He

organs in this city, the Union and the Ma
tional Intelligencer. Mr.. Sutton was placed
in charge of the matter for the Intelli-
genccr. and he chose Mr.. Dyer as his Lead
toms suggestion, brought with him to
Washington one Of the boys who had been
with him at the wing convention. and
young Murphy was chosen for this honor.
Small Boy Taking Notes.
Work was beg, 1 at the opening of the
session in December, 1s4S. and much at
tention was excited by the spectacle of a
small boy taking notes in shorthand of the
stirring debates of the Senate. Such men
as Calhoun, Webster, Benton, Mclean,
Alexander H Stevens, Thomas Ewing and
others of that class of statesmen took espe-
cial interest in the lad, who developed re-
markable abilities as rapid writer and
correct Eote-taker. During the recess Of
1919 Mr.. Dyer took Murphy with him to
New York, where he was engaged in pre-
pairing photographic manual
At the opening OF the session of Decem-
Der, 1919, Mr.. Murphy was employed on the
corps of the Union, but in a few weeks he
was seized with an attack of Inflammation
of the lungs and removed to his home in
Philadelphia. On his recovery in April,
1850, he returned to Washington and Sc
cured a pc sition on the 1ntellisencer corps
under Mr.. Sutton. The Intelligencer re-
linquished its contract in March, 1851, and
it was transferred to the Daily Globe. Not
long afterwa ard the Union suspended pub
LEGATION, SO that the Globe was the only
journal publishing the debates of Congress.
In March, 1869. Mr.. Sutton retired from the
charge of the work Of reporting the Senate
proceedings for the Globe and Mr.. Murphy
was placed in command. In 1873 the pub
LEGATION was transferred to the government
print ting office and the Senate, as stated,
made a contract with Mr.. Murphy to do the
work, this obligation being renewed from
year to year up to the present time.
In those days the typewriter was un-
known and, Of course, the photograph, now
such an important part of the stenogra-
piers outfit. was unheard of. This caused
the task Of transcribing the notes and pre-

pairing copy for the printer to be most
laborious.
In the early days. when Mr.. Murphy was
in charge, he made it a practice to take all
the notes himself. sending them out sheet
by sheet to the office, where they We're
read and transcribed mainly under the
supervision of his brother Edward.
How the Work Was Done.
Later the system was adopted OF having
the work done by turn" one man taking
enough to make about a page Of the Con-
gressional Record, and being then relieved
by another This gave each reporter the
chance to transcribe mis- notes without de-
lay Mr.. Murphy, however. was exceed
irgly careful and particular about the
character of the copy furnished to the
