SHE'S DEAD, THE POOR FELLOWw
BARNEY MARTIN DEEPLY MOVED ON
READING OF MURRAY HALLS END.

Albany Jan. IS (speciaD.-Senator Martin was
reading one Of the New-York papers this morning
when he uttered inartculate sound that at once
attracted the attention of his fellows.
What's the matter 'Barney?" asked Senator
Grady who sits just the left Of the Senator
from the NINth.
The Senator from tie XIVth still kept muttering
in a dazed kind Cf way, and Senator Raines, be-
ueying his Tammany associate had fallen i'll. came
over and gave him a hearty slap the back.
She's dead, the poor fellow! My old friend
Murray Halls deadt' moaned the Senator, at last
The other Senators wagged their heads If the
Senator from the XIVth was fast losing his mind
and one suggested calling a physician. At this
point the Senator came to sufficiently explain
the wonderful story he had read in the paper and
how one who had worked for the Tammany ticket
and for his own candidacy election after election,
who had been TO chowder parties with him and
always considered one of the boys had at
last turned be a woman.
4 greatly surprisedr' exclaimed the Senator
al last, looking at Senator Raines he twired his
Arizona muStache.
The author of the Raines law pondered a mo-
and then said:
You Tammany fellows very clever lot.
don't wonder you poll such an verwhelming vote
down there. when you dress up the women to
vote: and believe Senator Martin prides himself
having the banner district"
