THE PHILADELPHIA,s CLOCK.
Handsome and Valuable Gift to the
New Cruiser.

From the New York Times. Sunday
The new four-thousapd-dollsr silver and gold
clock which the people Of Philadelphia have
presented to the recently built cruiser bearing
! the name OF their city is said to be the hand
soonest piece of work of the kind in America.
The gift was inspired by similar act on the
part Of wealthy Baltimore citizen who pre-
sented the cruiser of that name with a valua-
bic library. Not to be outdone by the donation
OF her sister city the patriotic souls in the city
of brotherly love have given to their battle
ship token of amending reverence for the
name and the flag she so proudly bears.
The design of the clock embodies the sew
eral features OF the coat-of-arms of the NUM-
cipslity, and the workmanship, alike beautiful
and intricate in design, represents the skill
OF Philadelphia artisans only. The dial face is
OF silver. surmounted by a golden eagle with
outspread wings. On the right is a full-length
hgure OF a woman in classic garb, holding q
roll of parchment. To the left stands a SIM
liar figure. carrying the horn of plenty
Below the face of the clock lie q shield on
which Is engraved the hull Of ship sur
mounted by crossed guns and encircled by a
laurel wreath. A cable forms q frame about
the clock case, and in loops at each of the
upper corners there is a fOuled anchor Two
drsped American standards stand ont grace
fully around the dial. and beneath the
choppy sea at the feet of the female figures
are two scrolls one bearing the words '.Phila-
delphia Maneto," and the other, ~. S. s. Phil
adeiphia."
The browning beauty of the Philadelphia's
CLOCK Is the silver dial. The minutes are
divided by raised golden pegs while the center
OF the face bears the shield of the city's arms.
with the pillow and the ship III clear relief
Above 1t. and also in clear relief, is the arm of
Justice with the suspended balance. This hands
are rich golden scrolls. The eagle and the
female figures were Irodeled from life and
the ship Is a copy of the old frigate Constltu-
ton. The ordnance Is OF the new hIgh-poyer
type, designs having been furnished by the
Navy Department.

A GIRLS STRANGE DEATH.
Found Dead in a Brook Two Hours
After Leaving Home.

1t is not yet known whether the young girl
who was found dead In a shallow brook at
Salem, NY, where the water was less than
eighteen inches deep, was murdered or COM
mitted suicide. Nine months ago it was
Maggie Hourigan OF Greenwich. only twelve
miles away, who was the victim. Now it is
Tina Allen of Salem. Then it was an humble
servant girl, now it is the talented and accom-
plished daughter Of one Of the wealthy and
most aristocratic families in Washington
county. Their surroundings in life were widely
different, but the circumstances of the deaths
Of the two girls have many features strangely
similar. Miss Allen left home about $50 last
Friday morning, which the last time her
family saw her alive. About two hours later
her dead body was found i'll little brook
about one mile from her home. Her hat was
pinned to a log which forms part Of the bridge
which crosses the stream. A little above and
by Its side was bunch Of crumpled flowers
which she had carried in her hand during her
walk.
The body lay quite close to the bank with
the head up stream and under the branches Of
an overhanging willow. The small boy who
made the discovery waded into the brook and
drew the body to land. Help was soon OBJ
tanned and the remains were brought to the
girls home in Salem Coroner MIIliDgton of
East Greenwich, the same officer who held the
iHducst over the remains Oh maggie nOurlRdn
was summoned and impaneled jury. which
viewed the remains. The jury adjourned to
await the result of autopsy.
The villagers scout the idea of foul play and
insist that 1t Is suicide, as did the people of
Greenwich i'll the Maggie Hourigan case. The
inquest will be held today and there may be
new developments then. The girls full name
was Christine Lansing Allen. Her grandfather
was Judge Allen of the New York supreme
court. and ut one time member of the court of
appeals. Her father has been county Judge
and the whole family Is well known and dis
tlnGuished. She was twenty years old, beauti-
full. talented and accomplished So far as is
known her life had been happy one. 1t is re-
markable that the manner OF her death. the
bridge, the hat, the log, the shallow water and
al! the surroundings of the affair are almost
identical with the case of Maggie Hourigan
the mystery of whose death has never been
solved
