Travelled DeIawarean.

At the home Of William H. Murphy,
Pennington, Kent County, a week Of in
terest and much pleasure was spent in
the entertainment of one OF the world
girdlers," who made the cruise around
the world upon the United States battle
ship Maine BY nickname he was
known in the fleet as speed Murphy, "
though his name is Ehwood r. Murphy,
and be he'd the rate of electrician, first
class. He is a native of this town, but
now resident of Philadelphia, where,
at his home, 652 North Fifty.sixth Street,
a most elaborate reception was rendered
him upon the expiration Of his enlist
ment last month. The visit here is no
doubt the last, as at an early date he will
start for the land Of sunshine, fruit and
flowers on the west coast, where lies the
port Of Los Angeles. There he will be-
come the master Of a home and the root
shall shelter one Of Southern Californias
bellies, whose acquaintance was made dur

The interesting incidents Of Mr.. MUIR
phys voyages and especially the methods
Of travel employed in various places can
be better appreciated by viewing the sew
eral hundred pictures Of scenes and inci'
dents which can be enjoyed only by
man wearing the uniform Of Uncle Sam,
and especially in the navy. In Frisco
it was the big red automobile for speed
ing around; but in Guam it was the bull
lock team or caroboa, while in Manila it
was a caromato, and in Singapore the
rickashaw pulled by a chinaman, and in
Colombo, CeylOn, by hindoo. In crossing
the desert in Africa the camel was brought
into use, as well the little donkeys.
Mr.. Murphy left yesterday for Phila-
delphia, where some degrees of Masonry
will be conferred upon him prior to his
departure for the Pacific Coast.

Great Town Clock Meeting.

The meeting which was called for last
Friday evening at FiremeD's Hall, for
the purpose Of discussing the proposed
clock to be installed in the tower Of the
new postoffice building in Milford, was
a bowling success, and the subscrip
tions covered the total cost several times
over ~ General George H. Hall WAS
enthusiastic and wanted a set Of chimes
OF the most elaborate character. DR..
Frank L. Grier and DR.. G. Layton
GrieI we're earnest supporters of the
same proposition; but there were several
who thought that the noise from a set
OF chimes would be annoying to resi-.
dents who are aged and somewhat in
firm, and they advocated that large
tire from the drive wheel Of a locomotive
be installed for the clock to strike on.
To this William V. Sipple objected on
the ground that an engine tire would
make entirely too much noise and dis.
turb the services on Sunday in the
Presbyterian and Methodist Churches
DR.. Robert Y Watson objected to any
clock at all, because there is already
too much noise in South Milford. DR..
George w. Marshall said that he did
not care what kind of an arrangement
was Installed, IS the whistles from the
pea factories now made life a burthen
to all who resided in the central part
Of the town. John w. Welch favored
the chimes, as they would possibly
drown the sound of some Of the fish
horns which made it impossible to
sleep OF mornings. John B. Smith did
not care much one way or the other,
but he thought it would be we'll to make
the chimes Of a moderate tone, so that
the set OF chimes to be placed on top OF
the new building for the First National
Bank could be set to an octiye higher
and thus be distinguished from those
on the pOstoffice. B. B Topping was
in favor Of sweet toned and melOdiOus
set Of chimes, and as his home adjOins

and they would in a way
detract from the noise made by his
Col. Robert II. Williams
had no objection to a clock, a bell or
even a set Of chimes, as they wOHld
not bother him anyway, if the people
desired to install them. Samuel e.
Evans was enthusiastic for the chimes,
and was sure that they would not in
terfere with the services on the big organ
in his church at all AsbuTy Smith felt
that the business men of Milford should
install a clock which would not only
be accurate but keep standard time
but just here a disturbance occurred out |
side, among those trying to crowd into
the hall, and it was deemed best to re-
oeive subscriptions at once without fur
ther discussion. The list was opened and |
the amounts pledged were as follows
