A man came 10 New York from the
South by the name of Gibbons. lie
was lawyer, and smart fellow, and
belligerent one. He made up his
mind, IN the honest spirit of Federal.
ist, that the State monopoly over the
steamboat was humbug. He made
up his mlnd to build steamboat and
have lawsuit by invading the waters
of New York and New Jersey. To
show that he meant war he called his
little steamboat tue Bellona.

Gibbons had made his home at
Elizabeth, N. j., mile or two from
the landing called Elzabethport.
Vanderbilt had married his wife, who
was plain woman named Johnson, ut
Elizabethport The people, thei efore,
OF that region said to Gibbons:
You take Cornell Vanderbilt"
Vanderbilt, therefore, was pat on
the steamboat, and Gibbons had a
great lawsuit at Trenton. N. j., and, as
the end of that lawsuit, State rights in
steamboats, were broken all to pieces,
and Federal rights were maintained
The greatest lawyers of that period
figured in the steamboat cases, among
them the brother of the Irish Revolu
zionist. Gibbons argued hls own case
so when the newspaper before men.
TONED asked me to write up for its
achives the Vanderbilt history, made
my way TO Bellona Hall, where Miss
johnson, that was, kept an eating-table

When the steamboat got to New
Brunswick the passengers went off and

New Jersey to Trenton, and there

wanted something to eat. Vanderbilt's
wife saved all his money, aud one day

One Sunday during the recital of the

particular attention to see if Roscoe

Mr., Sherman says:
