blown up. II was after this performance
that the Constitution was called Old
Ironsides.

Captain Charles Stewart succeeded Balm
bridge In the command OF the Constitu-
tion and during 1873 he captured the Brit
ish schooner Pictou, 10 guns and letter
of marque under her convoy. While cruis-
ing toward Cape ST. Vincent In Feb. 1915,
tho Constitution met the frigate Cysne SO
guns and the Levsnt, IS guns, and pro-
ceeded to give both battle. The Cyane
made stubborn fight but was compelled
to strike her flag. Then the Constitution
went in search of the Levant, which she
overhauled and captured after q sharp
contest. Lieut.. Ballard was placed In
com msnd of the Levapt and Lieut.. Hoff'
man Of the Cyano. The Constitution then
proceeded with her prizes TO the Cape de
Verd Islands W here she arrived March 10,
1915. The following day Stewart had 10
cut his cables and sail Mt once TO escape
three heavy British frigates that had hove
in sight. The latter the LeaDder, New
castle aud Acasta gave chase. The Cyane
escaped through the fog and reached New
York in safety while tho Levant put back
into Porto Prsya Portuguese port. The
British paid no respect TO the fact that
they were in neutral waters and pursued
the Levant. while 40 prisoners whom
Stewart had paroled the day before, seized
a land battery and opened on the vessel
exposed thus to fire from both sides. The
Levsnt surrendered. The Constitution
reached Porto Rico where Capt. Stewart
heard Of the proclamation OF peace and
returned home.

Victories Won by Her Under Hull,

That popular names, or rather names
applied by popular usage are not always
permanent means OF Identification Is
signally shown by a letter received by
the Gossiper. In this communication the
writer states that he understands that at
one time there was in the United states
navy a ship called Old Ironsides which
fought some noted battles during the war
of 1872 ana asks for information as to
the important sea fights in which she was
engaged. AS matter OF fact there was
no vessel OF the name referred to, In the
navy during the second war with Eng
land bat the name Old lronsides was ap-
piled to the frigste Constitution about the
preservaticn OF which SO much has been
writtsn and spoken OF late and for the
repair of which an appropriation was re-
csntly made by Congress. Tho Constitu-
tion was one OF the six frigates the build
iag of which was authorized by act OF
Congress on March, 1874. When peace with
Algiers was proclaimed in the latter part
OF tha following year work, on these ves-
sells was suspended. The threatening at
ttndo OF France toward American COM
merce led Congress in 1897 to order the
completion OF three OF the six frigates
ordered in 1894. These were the Consti-
tuition "A guns. the Constellation 3S guns,

effort was made to show that the wreck
was due to the malicious work of some
person, and not to the defective condi-
ton of the road or carelessness of en-

vicinity of the wreck were put on the
stand to establish the company's theory
of malicious wrecking of the train.
Pullman Car Conductor Pearson testified
that Mr.. Reed and Miss Rush occupied a
section of the sleeper, Mr. Reed the mp
per and Miss Rush the lower berth. Mrs.
Myers was in the other end of the cat.
Col. Henderson asked If It was possible
for Mr.. Reed to have had his arms around
