MISS Murphy prominent In PIttsburq
Society, Murdered at Her Home.
Pittsburg. Dec. 17-Harriet p. Muir
ply, prominent in church and society
circles and treasurer of the Kingsley
house fund, was murdered at her
home. 6221 Howe street, East End, by
a burglar about o'clock this morn
ing. The murderer made his escape,

force of that section was called, the
man has not been captured.
Miss Murphy, with ner brother. Sc
lect Councilman John A. Murphy. and
two servant women, lived in the house,
Miss Murphy sleeping on the second
floor. She was an expert with the re-
volver, having practiced many years
for the purpose of protecting herself
in the event of such an attack as hap
pened this morning.
About 3 o'clock this morning her
brother was awakened by two shots in
the house, and fastening to his sis
ter's room found her lying dead on the
floor with a bullet wound in the head.
The burglar scaled the porch posts

noise of the crashing glass awakened
her. and as she jumped from the bed
with her revolver in her hand the
man fired. Marks in the snow on the
porch roof indicate that only one man
entered the room.

Rails for Trunk Llnes-Loulsviile

Birmingham. Ala, Dec. 17.-The
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company has announced the compile.
tion of its steel rail mill at Ensley
and General Manager Charles Nc.
Creary states tnat the plant will be
in operation within a few weeks. This
new industry will make steel rails for
trunk lines and will be the first indus
try plant of the kind in the south
The new mill is so constructed that
when rails are not in demand it will
work on structural steel shapes. It is
understood that the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company and the
Southern railway, who were large con
tributors to the expense of the erec-
tion of the plant. will be takers of the
output. The product will be of the
basic steel order. but it is claimed that
rails of this species of manufacture
are as good as the harder rail made
under the Sessemer process.

They Can BE Worked.
Philadelphia. Dec. 17.-Railroad ser.
vice in this state, which was badly
crippled by the floods of Saturday
night and Sunday, is gradually recov-
ering its normal condition and by this
afternoon or tomorrow morning trains
will be running practically on time
Thousands of laborers are at work to-
day repairing the damage to roadbed
and bridges wrought by the rushing
waters. The railroads that suffered
the most damage are the Lehigh Val
ley, Central of New Jersey. Pennsyl
vania, Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western ana New York Central. In
some localities 1t will be weeks before
the damage is fully repaired.
The sweep of water was greater in
some sections than was ever known
before and bridges that withstood the
foods of years were swept away The
sudden drop in the temperature was
prOvidential in some respects, as it
prevented the food from spreading,
but it entailed great suffering on the
1000 or more persons rendeRed home
less by The destruction of their homes.
In the lower anthracite region the
situation is growing worse. The mine
workings are thoroughly soaked with
water and it may be weeks before
some of them can be worked, although
there was a resumption today in a few
mines.
1t is said that $4,000 mine workers
and mechanics are idle as a result of
the food.
On the Lehigh and New Jersey Cen
tral roads the service, while somewhat
improved. is still very irregular and
officials say they VIII be lucky if pas.
senger traffic is fully resumed by the
end of this week Along the lines of
both roads hundreds of cars loaded
with coal are held up.
The Reading railway has been com
PEELED to suspend traffic on it's Little
Schuylkill branch between Port Clin.
ton and Tamaqua because of numer.
Gus washouts and the loss of a bridge.
The weather today is not quite so
cold as yesterday and in some sec.
tons snow is falling.
Various estimates are given of the
money loss entailed by the floods. Con.
servative guessers place the loss at
from $3.O0O,OO0 to $5,0O0.O 900. So far
reports have been received here of the
loss of nine lives in various parts OF
the state.

Only Gilt Eu9e HiSRS IN small owns
Now Taken.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 1.-THE alarm
ing number OF general confagrations
in small towns and villages has caus-
ed many of the fire insurance compa-
nies doing business in Mississippi to
issue orders to their local underwrit-
ers strictly prohibiting the writing of
risks on frame business houses in
communities of this class. Some of
the companies have directed that no
risks of any kind be taken in small
towns. Others will allow the writing
only of detached dwellings and brick
structures.
AT present there are only ten fire
companies in Mississippi that will
take general business in the small
towns.
Very few of the small communities
have any protection save that offered
by volunteer brigades with buckets.
The insurance men claim that the fig.
ures for 1901 will show that 50 per
cent of the companies have lost heav-
lily on small town insurance in Missis.
