OBITUARY OF STEPHEN ALLEN.

One Of Oldest and most respected citizens Stephen
Allen Esq, among those who pclshed by the melan
choy disaster caused by the destruction of the steamboat
Henry Clay Wednesday The particulars of this sad
affair and the finding Of the body of Mr. Allen have
given in another column.
Mr. Allen q native of this city, and was born we
believe in the year 1870 Consequently at the time of
bis death he about SO years age In the
of the State Convention of which he a member in
1876 his age put by himself at rs at that time
His patemal ancestors Of English origin and those
on the mater nal side were German. Having served an
apprenticeship sail maker he began that business
his account in 17o and afterwards engaged in the
sale of duck and sail cloth in Front street. from which
business he finally retired in 1881 after forty expe
rience as mechanic and a merchant during which
he acquired large estate the futs Of industry,
nomy, good management, and good luck. To his for
tune he subsequently, it is understood, added largely
by series Of udiciou investments in stocks and real
estate
In 1909, Mr.. Allen became known to the public az
President Of the Mechanics Society and afterwards
Of the founders and directors of the Mechanics
Bank lie took an active part as a politician, and was
prominent leader Of the democratic republican party He
Of the committee who purchased the ground and
made the contracts for the noted democratic head quar-
ters Tammany Hall and raised the money pay for It,
That establishment about fifty five thousand dollars
and Mr. Allen, in a letter to political friend, in 1892
says 80 There cannot be doubt but that the building
Of that hall, and preserving it party establishment
and ralying place for the republicans Of the city and
surrounding countless has been of the Of our
0her) triumph At the date last referred to- Mr. Allen
proposed bank to be called the Tammany Bank In
which the Tammany Society should be allowed TO sub
scribe for hundred thousand dollars Of the stock or
fifth of the capital and hold the hall rs their pro-
periy This scheme not favoraby received oy the
democratic friends Of Mr. Aicn and 1t therefore Tell
through. :,
When the democratic party in this state became di-
vided the question Of supporting De witt Ciiaton,
and took the names of "Cutonians and "Bucktais,n
Mr. Allen uniformly acted with the Bucktais lie was, OF
course opposed to the canal policy OF Mr. Clinton. but
afterwards became liberal IN MS views on internal
mprovemcut having witnessed the great benefits
frred on the State and city, and the advancement
the public prosperity by the construction Of these great
avenues TO the interior, which have mmor-
| talizcd the name of Clinton
l In 1917 Mr.. Allen elected member Of the Com
mon Council Of the city, being first chosen Assistant AL
demap of the Tenth ward, and elected the following
year In 1919, and again in 1920 he chosen Alder
of the ward and took active part In the busy
