One Me VOLUD i Y NOT SELL ST. PAUL'S? N WI has granted hoon present Trinity Corporation: from closing St. John’s. St. John’s is the old chureh facing the New York Central freight Ca- nal street which was St. John’s Park before Trin- house below ity sold it cheap to the railroad. | When St. John’s was built a cen- tury ago it was a fashionable church, Now it is not fashionable. The neigh bor- hood has changed. The property on which St. John’s stands is worth $300,000. It cost much less than this. As a real estate speculation , it has been profitable, and to sell it now for a factory or loft building would be a good business turn. A much more profitable real estate speculation would be for Trin- ity Corporation to sell St. Paul’s. | Located on Broadway, occupying the block between Vesey and vening World Daily Magazine, Monday.

He had fought gallantly in that conflict, commanding 300 men at the memorable Jefense of Baltt- more in August, 1814, ‘Then came the war with the Barbary pirates and f Stockton's courage won him martial honors, As Lyecutlve Officer of the Q United States warship Erle, he landed at Gibraltar. The officers of the British regiment stationed there were still angry at memory of the War of 1812, and made life unpleasant for the young American, Stockton was not the sort of man to take their Insults calmly, The upshot of the matter was that he rashly agreed to fight a duel with each of the regiment's tem captains, The chances for his returning home alive looked very small, Yet he fought several of the duels, wounding his adversaries and estap- ing practically unhurt, The serles of fights came to an end in a sense tional fashion before all ten of the captains had met him. In one encounter Stoskton had fust wounded his opponent severely whem a guard of British cavalrymen swooped down upon btm and placed him under arrest. Stockton wrenched hime nelf free, sprang at one of his mounted captors, terd the man from the saddle, vaulted onto the riderieas horee's back and galloped away to his ship, outstrip ping his pursuers and gaining the Erle In safety, This was but one of numberlese ' stirring adventures of which y Stockton was the hero Coming back to this country In 1821 he tonk charge of the American Colontse> Uon Soctety's expedition to fotund a negro colony on the west coast of Africa, By rare diplomacy he secured and settled the African territory that later became the Republic of Liberia, Once, while in Liberia, he held a whole hostile tribe at bay Single-handed by level ing a pistol at thelr king. As he was safling homeward on the United States schooner Alligator, Stockton was fired upon by the Maritana Mora, a Portuguese privateer, whose captain mistook the Alligator for a pirate Instead of wasting time in trying to explain matters to his assailants, Stockton returned the attack, After a twenty-minute fight the privateer surrendered, Next Stockton captured a large French slave ship, thereby estabiishing any nation’s right to selze another country’s slave ships, This struck a tremendous blow at the slave trade, Stockton then proceeded to wipe out piracy in the West Indles by fighting and capturing a number of piratical ships, Seeing no !mmediate hope for further exciting adventure in the navy he retired {n 1825 to a life of business, Fop twelve years he was a successful financter and promoter, putting through, among other enterprisas, the famous Delaware and Raritan Canal In face of powerful opposit In Fine Challenged to Ten Duels.
