Inside the steeple the wood of the beams and floor secms to be perfectly sound, although the floors and stairs are worn by several gencrations of bell-ringers and sextons. From the n loft in the church, at which in remarks ter of 1g been course tower and steeple is divided off into thirteen stories of about seven or eight feet in height each. Step-ladders go from a trapdoor in one floor to the trapdoor in the next. Upon the lower floors the rooms are of very fair size —about twenty feet square; as the visitor climbs up they become smaller until at the level of the clock dials the room is bayely eight feet square, and a story abc that begins a narrow staircase which winds around the inside the spire. The journey| through thirteen floors up this staircase is not without its perils, on | account of the dim light, although some of the rooms receive plenty of light from the latticed windows at the four sides of the tower. In many of the laeger rooms has been stored dnmh ‘material which has seen its repay | of g ¥, chests of cleri- tments, paint and prushes, bits en rope, pieces of former clocks ¢ the hands —all thi i fo 1 ircludi has here found a s At the level of the windows half way above the Toof of the church are the two bells which in former days summoned the Kmck- erbockers to worship and now serve to remind the surging, busy crowd below that the aim and end of this i is not money-making. ‘Upon the day by the favored business men of the neighborhood and may possibly attract a few of them to the Lenten services, is the inscription **Mears of London, fecit,1797.” When this bell first began to ring the site of tho Astor House was a cornfield, Into the i hum of Iifo from below, the cease- less rumble and life of Broadway. By climing between some of the mas- sive beams which at about the level \f the belfry begin to fill the tow v network, the reporter is able to iteh aglimpse out of the latticed win- dows, and to see the crowd assemble Evening Post bulletins intent upon the last tidings of the President, The large bell has no inseriptioni upon it. Littlo is to be done inside the tower and steeple; outside the woodwork will be lax new. Many heavy cartloads of the old wood have been taken away, and huge piles still remain on the ground. As the reporter was leaving he re- marked to the o.d sexton who had re- mained below that the graveyard be- hind St. Paul’s Chapel would sell for a neat sum of money. ““Yes, sir,” answered the sexton, “‘the corporation has been offered two million lfl)“lli‘s: but it will never be sold. The persons buried here bought the plots out and out with the expec- tation of sleeping there till the last trump shall sound. It would be an outrageoua breach of faith to dig up their dust and sell the land. No bodies have been buried here for many years, and very few bones re- main in the graves; all is dust. The graves on the Vesey street side are most of them at least a hundred years Jd and many of them much older. Soiito years ago Ex-Mayor land ted the bodies of his father and mother disinterred and taken to Greenwood, They had only been here fifty years, and yet a little box cighteen inches square would contain all that we found, To attempt to niove the remains to another grave- yard would result in a sacrilegious Jumhh-u( bones and dust. Beside, these burial vlots do not belong to Trinity, but to the heirs of the per- sons buried here, and it would be impossible to find one out of twenty of the persons whose consent would be necessary to such a removal, No, sir, this graveyard will remain, uo matter what the value of the land is, It is not unhealthy, for there is nothing here but dust. And the church will remain, too. Tts congre- gation is made up of the poor people who live in this neighborhood and who would sorely miss its services and free pews.” The stone work of St. Pgul's will not be touched as itit is in excellent oelition, The repairs to the steeple 1. be finished in about two months Yramatic Scene in an Ohio Prison relnnati Commereial, Yesterday was visiting an at the| nty jail, and thenumber of persous | 0 n]:p]lml to see relatives or friends 0 were incarcerated than 1 been known for some time.

While Mr. Birnbaum was endeavoring to disarm the woman Eckert ran up stairs, and ten minutes later was found cowering near his cell with a face completely blanched. Mrs. McGranahan was de- taned for a short time, and then sent home in charge of her brother-in-law, anahan, the well-known constable of the Twenty-second ward. Subsequently her husband called at the juland asked for the pistol, he ) 8 claiming that it belonged to him. His request was, of course, refused.

Since that time contiguous lands have heen purchased by Mr. Smith, until his farm now contams something over 365 acres, nearly all of which is under the high- est condition ot cultivation, and through which runs a never-failing stream of water. It was not at first Mz, Smith’s purpose to establish an extensive stock farm, but, owning the celebrated Goldsmith Maid and other fine blooded horses, he bought the farm on which to keep andbreed them. Becoming more aud more infatuat with stock raising and breeding, Mr. Swith has mereased his stables and | of esent a moneyed va 500,000, his horses alon 00,000, With the si exception of Robert Bouner, Mr. Swith s probably spent more mo for horses than any man in the United Lt With aview of placing before our read- tock farm, a reporter of the State Gazette recently made a visit thereto. The first thing to which the reporters at- {ention was directed was the speeding of Ebony, a handsome Knox colt, and Dutch Girl, on the mile track. Then the large square building used for of- fices, harness and carriage rooms, ect., adjoining the grand stand, was visited. On the ground floor, facm;, the track, is the reception, room, whose fineness of finish almost beggars description. Its ceiling is very high and the whole is finished in oak. The walls are covered with heavy English leather paper. The elaborate mantle is of oak, with unique tiling, and the furni- ture is rich, heavy and antique, and upon the floor is a gorgeous Wil- ton carpet. Just back of the recep- tion room is the oflice and harness room, furnished in oiled pine and handsomely furnished. In the rear of this room is tl by carriage T pository, also finished in oiled pine. The second story contains alarge hall, which will be fitted up for a Villiard room. and ten bed rooms elegantly furnished for the accommodation of invited guests. On this floor is also the room of the veterinary surgeon. In the cupola of this building is a tans, made of boiler 1ron, with a cap- acity of 3,600 gallons, which is kept filled by a steam pump in the base- ment, which has a capacity of 150 gal- lons per minute. The water is ob- tained from a well 21 feet deep and nine feet in diameter, and holding b, 000 gallons, To further guard against fire, five fire-plugs are contiguous to the stables and are supplied with about 400 teet of hose. In addition to this the Trenton fire department could be summoned by telephone, Tn the cellar of the carriage-house, besides the force-puwp, is a steam ne and boiler, which heats the lnull«lmu and cookls the food for the horses. Besides this structure there are the following: Main barn, with | box and 40 singlo stalls; the coli | barn, with 24 hox stalls, capable holding 48 colts; the training with 50 box stalls; the grand stand barn, with 17 box stalls, for brood marcs and colts; the stallion stablo with five box and single stalls; the grain barn, recontly built by Cubberly & Kafer, and_probably the largest baru in this section; the ‘cow barn; a barn for the farm work horses and mules; a barn for farming implements; and said to Turnkey Birnbaum: the bluckumllhnhup grand stand with [ | severe drouth has pr THIE OMAHA DAILY BEE seating capacity of ; Mr. Smith's rosi | he o¢ | yoar; Agor denee near the entranc nees for employes square formed by the stock barns | are large and substantial paddocks in which to exercise the s in the winter.

The Hog Crop of the West Chicago Tim Reports received from most of the western st indicate that fat hogs will be s ana high at the season when they are generally marketed. There is not the usual number of pigs in the country, and there is a de- ficiency of food with which to fatten them. Two causes have operated to reduce the number of stock hogs. The cold weather during the early spring months killed many young pigs in Towa and other western states. The high price of pork during the summer months induced farmers to dispose of most of the hogs that were in a con- dition to be slaughtered. There has been no unusual mortality among hogs since the commencement of warm 4 Cholera and some other diseases are reported in a few sections, but they have not been general in any state. 1t must be remembered, how- over, that cholora s most likely to prevail and prove f | after hogs are put on a dict consistin of little else than corn.

N.{mnost sections there is, or will be, sufficient corn to fatten the hogs and to supply the other home demands for this crop. The prospect is that the proportion of hog and hominy will be about as usual. The reports appear to show that the number of hogs in the West is at least 25 per cent. below the average at this time of year; that they are of small size and_in poor condition, . The prospect for heavy hogs that will yield a large amount of lard is exceedingly poor. In some of the best counties of Illi- nois and Kansas many heavy hogs will most likely be fattened. though American pork is pmlnbnul from ente; 1 foreign coun- tries, wester be in no fear of low prices during the present season.
