 The City of Troy left New York at o'clock tonight back up the Hudson River for Albany and Troy. The fire was discovered about o'clock when the boat was about eight miles below Dobbs Ferry. It broke out in the hold amidships and rapidly gained headway. The crew fought the flames for some time before 1t was seen they could not control them, and then the captain turned his boat for Dobbs Ferry.
 When she tied up at the Gould dock the fire had gained such headway that little attempt was made to extinguish it ,and every effort was bent toward landing the passengers. When it was thought that every one had been land- ed 1t was discovered that a woman passenger was asleep in her berth, and two firemen rushed into the burning steamer and carried the woman ashore

Charge of Assault to Murder Grew Ont of AMray Between Two Men 0a Dexter Avenue in
 December.

The jury in the criminal division 'of the City Court yesterday declared Wil. Ham H. Murphy not guilty of assault to murder.

 MurpS and Faber. 1t will be re- called. had an argument in the saloon in regard to street work. Faber called Murphy thief. The bartender told the men to go on the outside if they wanted to start any trouble. Murphy went out first and Tabor followed.
