OLD IRONSIDES.

New Hampshire Does Not Want to
Lose the Venerable Frigate in Any
Case.
The people of New Hampshire who
are especially interested in the move
ment for the preservation of the old
frigate Constitution, appreciate the
efforts of secretary Herbert to secure
the needed appropriation. They will
not agree with the secretary, however
in the contention that the pride of our
early navy should be removed to the
national capital Old Ironsides has
been so long stationed at the Ports
mouth navy yard that her removal
would be distinct loss to the state,
and the New New Hampshire delega-
ton in Congressman be relied upon to
oppose any measure which would de-
prive us of the historic frigate.
When thoroughly repaired, as it is
hoped she will be by order of Congress
at an early day Old Ironsides can be
made serviceable to the government as
a school ship, stationed at Portsmouth.
The plea for removal to Washington is
based on the claim that the frigate
could there be viewed and honored by a
larger number of Americans. 1t is
very doubtful il there is any virtue
in this plea The wisdom of collecting
all the countrys precious historical
relics at the capital may be seriously
questioned The city of Washington al
ready has much that is inspiring. Why
deprive the remote sections of the
| country of their historic treasures

CUTTING DOWN THE LIGHT WIRES.
This Act of Thieves Throws n Sec
ton of the city I'm Darkness.

There is one somebody in Richmond
who has a thirst for wire used for trans
mission Of the electric fluid. and that
person is not hesitating to use his knife
on it at pleasure.
Yesterday morning from 80 o'clock
TO daylight that part OF the city in
cluded between Twenty-sccond street
and Chimborazo Park and Broad and
Main streets was in total darkness, be-
cause that individual had clipped the
wires feeding the arc-lights along the
streets and cut of the current. The
wire in some places had been torn down,
and about 800 feet in bundle was found
yesterday morning in a ravine near the
park
This work Of darkness IS evidently
done by man who knows what he
can touch about an electric-llght appa-
ratus and what not. for the wire was
charged at the usual number of volts,
and though 1t was flowing current
that had it passed through his body
would have put his light out" he was
too smart and too careful for any such
tell-tale outcome to his scheme.
Friday night about IL o'clock a gentle
man was sitting at a rear window Of
MS mouse, near enable and Twenty
third streets. when he saw a man bury
ing something in large bank Of Gin
ders. which had been placed there to
be used in work upon the street. HIS
curiosity was kindled. and he watched
him through it all. He was Interrupted
once by some persons who were passing.
but when they We're gone resumed his
digging as vigorously as ever. Finally
he finished and looking once approving
" at the results of his labor. went
away. Then the gentleman went to the
place and undid what he had just seen
so carefully done. He found a bushel
basket entirely full Of scrap wire. Later
an officer was notified, and when the
wire was taken to the carsheds OF the
Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany. = and Twenty-ninth streets. IT
was identified as stolen from the shops

one Of Richmond's best detective Off

he will soon have his man on the nip.
1t was said last night that the com
pany had offered q reward Of $50 for the
detection Of the guilty person.
