WOM4N TO FIGHT MURPHY
Gets Neao Dumping Board at Bag
4dUance on Tammdny Rate.

Mrs. Theresa A Sheridan, who since the death
of her husband. H. P. Sheridan, has continued
his general contracting and Ighterage business,
at No. q State-st- yesterday in open compet-
ton secured the lease Of the dumping board
privilege on the pier at West Ninety-sev-
enth-st., and by doing obtained an oppor-
tunity to retrieve the losses she has sustained
because of the dumping and wharfage monop-
oily granted by Charles F. Murphy and his asso-
ciates in the Dock Board, four days before they
went out of office to the New-York Contracting
and Trucking Company, of which John j. Muir
ply, Charles A. Murphy's brother. is president
Mrs Sheridan bid S1,S15- Commissioner
Hawkes. has endeavored to break the monopoly.
and has hastened the completion of this pier
with this object in view
The entire pier and dumping board privileges
at West Ninety-sixth-st were secured by Muir
phys company for only S3,700 a year. the lease
being for thirty years The estimated net
profits are about $4,000 a year. This monopoly
proved to be q hardship Mrs Sheridan.
whose business confined to small wharf.
Her business dwindled SO that on some days her
receipts did not exceed 81 a day, While the ex-
penses were $40 a day Notwithstanding the
political influence which was brought to bear
on the contractors to have them transfer their
business from Mrs. Sheridan to the New-York
Contracting and Trucking Company, she has
continued business, refusing to sell out 70 the
monopoly at the low price offered after she had
lost much Of her business
Mrs. Sheridan's dumping board lease sheds
significant side light on the grossly inadequate
rental exacted by the old Dock Board of the
Murphy company. Mrs Sheridan will have
about one hundred feet of linear space on one
side of the pier, and for this she pays just
about one-half what the Murphy company pays
for an entire pier and dumping board just
across the bulkhead from her. If the dumping
board. with the prospect of getting less than
half of the public dumping. is worth to her
S1.S75 a year, its monopoly granted to the
Afurphys and Ciaffneys should have been worth
On this basis the Murphys get the use of their
pier absolutely free for thirty years, the dump
Ing board alone being worth fully as much as
their annual rental for both pier and dumping

to North Creek to protest his property. which
lies directly In the path Of the fire. His son and
a party are said TO be In camp near by. the
woods are SO dry and vegetation so backward
that ordinary methods of stopping forest fires
are futile
A dispatch from North Creek tonight says
everything is quiet there The Adirondack Cluo
has over fifty thousand acres of heavily TIM
bered land Robert Pruyn's holdings are about
eleven thousand acres
Although these fires fully forty miles from
GIens Falls a heavy cloud of smoke has hung
over the town and there has been constant
shower of fine ashes. while the smell Of burning
wood was plainly discernible. Toward evening
this ceased.
At weavertown in the northwest part OF
Warren County, the smoke was so thick all day
that objects a hundred yards distant could not
be seen
At Lake George the ashes fell to-day Ike d
