OLD STOCKYARDS ADDITIONS.
Barns for Buffalo Horse Firm-New
Road TO Be Built.

The Union Stockyards Company yester-
day let the contract for two new barns for
the Buffalo firm which is to establish
auction horse sales on Thursday and Fri
day OF each week The building will be 800
feet long by 50 feet wide. The contract was
awarded to j. f.. Shower and the barns are
TO be ready for occupancy by Dec. !.
The building Of a road from Harding
street direct to the Union stockyards Is
now in progress. This will be a great con-
venience for the stock raisers who drive
stock to the yards from the southwest, as 1t
avoids driving a considerable distance
around what is known as Cape Horn"
and avoids crossing railroad tracks. The
road eventually will be extended to Eagle
creek and to White river opposite the west
end Of Raymond street, where at no distant
day a bridge probably will be built across
White river. q.

LOCATIONS OF CHURCHES.
Suggested that Plymouth Might Pur-
chaxe the ST. PauI,a Edidce.

chase the st. Paul's Edfhce.
The bringing home to the people of the
proposition to build a federal building, by
the filing of condemnation suits yesterday
afternoon, has caused a renewal of the
discussion as TO how those churches now in
the square will adjust matters, and partic-
ularly in regard to Plymouth Church. This
church has desired to retain its institutional
features, but there is a question as to
whether this can be lone because of the
amount OF money necessary to buy a site
far enough down town to maintain these
features successfully. In this connection a
scheme was suggested by an outsider, last
evening, which, apparently, would solve
many of the downtown church problems.
The plan was for Plymouth Church to pur-
chase the church and parish house Of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church. at the corner of
New York and Illinois streets. or one block
from the present location. According TO the
plan, the congregation of st. Pauls Church
is to divide, the downtown members going
to Christ Church and thereby strengthening
that organization SO as to insure the per-
manency OF the most beautiful feature of
Monument circle, the old stone church at
the corner; and the members of st. Paufs.
who live further up town, to go to Grace
Cathedral, and form a congregation there
which VIII! be strong enough numerically
and financially to build a cathedral in more
than name, which will be a fitting home for
the bishop and the new diocese.
Should this plan be realized. the legal
point regarding the organ now in Plymouth
Church might also be avoided. The question
to be solved is, whether or not the organ.
being built into the church, is a fixture of
the building and, as such, will have to go
with the building and become United States
property. 1t was the idea of those discuss
ing this plan that the city should purchase
the organ now in Plymouth Church and
place 1t in Tomlinson Hall. There has long
been a demand for a pipe organ in Tom
city did not purchase it outright, there
would be nc difficulty in raising the money
among the music-loving people of the city
for the general advantage which would be
derived from having an organ in the hall.

DAIRYMEN's BARN DESTROYED.
An Explosion I'm the Stable Occupied
hy .JeSsup a Antrim.

o@FCoB
The burning of the barn occupied by Jes-
sup & Antrim, dairymen, at No. 1924 Roa-
noke street. caused a number of fires on
North Senate avenue last night. all Of them
being of less importance. however, than the
one in the barn. The fire was noticed at
To O'Clock. and by the time the fire de-
partment reached the scene it had gained
such Roadway that it was seen that nothing
could be don to save the building. and all
energies were directed TO saving the ada
cent houses. In the barn were six horses
and six milk wagons, and all were COM
pletely destroyed, with a loss of $3.50.
which was offset by insurance to the
amount Of 500.
The fire spread rapidly TO 1925 Roanoke
street, where a one-story frame dwellin9
occupied by Windsor Crockett, was dam
aged about the roof to the extent of so.
The flames then communicated TO 1O2S. the
adjoining house. occupied by Mr.. Hussey
and owned by a man named Hudson. The
roof on this house was also damaged. as
was that on the next house. occupied by j.
Hubbard. A few sparks set fire 10 the next
adjoining house. but did little damage.
During the fire a can OF gasoline or nat
ural gas In Jessup & Antrim's barn ex-
ploded with such force as TO tear out one
side OF the building. IL was learned that the
fire was Of incendiary origin.

Proposed Seaboard ship Canal.
fHlLADELAiilA, Aug. 2.-Maior G.
w. Raymond. chief engineer Of the
United States army for this city. has
lett for Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. 10 at
tend q meeting Of the deep waterway
commission. Of which he is president.
he commission. which has held anuln-
Der OF meetings. will discuss and COM
pare the final surveys made for the con.
templated route Of the waterway from
the Great Lakes to the Atlantic ocean.
In addition to Major Raymond the COM
mission consists Of Alfred Noble. the,
builder OF the first lock Of the Sault
Ste. Marie canal. and a member Of the
recent Nicaragua canal commission and
George H.. Wisner Of Detroit. The
commission will inspect the Saul, Ste.
Marie canal and will then go 10 Detroit.
Fifty engineers are AT the latter place
tabula,ing and arranging results and it
Is expected the final report Of the COM
mission will be- presented early in next
year. Major Raymond approximates
the cost Of the proposed waterway at
about S2oo, 600, 900. Before leaving he
said:
The route TO be followed will be
through the Sault Ste. Marie canal to
Lake Huron, through the river TO Lake
Erie, thence by ship canal around Nj
agara 10 Lake Ontario.
The question confronting the ON
mission at this point is whether or not
/, the Welland canal. which is Canadian
property. should be utilized by deepen
ing. as il is totally inadequate for use
for ships Of deep draught. or a new
canal built in American territory. This
may I've found the more desirable for in.
teYnaiional reasons.
"A depth of 20 feet throughout the
waterway would be sufficient 70 carry
II vessel 10 the ocean. The entire
scheme contemplates some very serious
engineering problems. particularly as
to the systems of locks. From the point
above mentioned two canal routes are
suggested. both using the Hudson river.
One is known as the Oswego and Mo-
hawk route and the other as the Cham
f, pianist. Lawrence route. The Oswego
| Mohawk route is TO start at Oswego and
proceed along the Mohawk valley. tax
ing in such cities at Syracuse, Rome
and Utica. going thence to Troy. where
il will connect with the Hudson. neces'
stating a deepening Of the Hudson.
This route will practically obliterate
the Erie canal, though it will take w
some Of its waterways.
THE Champlain-St. Lawrence route
has been surveyed from Lake Frances
which is an arm Of the st. Lawrence
river. Numerically across to the river
which flows into Lake Champlain ant
through this lake by means OF a cana
to Troy"
In addition to the consideration of tn,
above suggestions. the commission vii
discuss the question Of an increase o
the locks Of the Sault Ste. Marie canal
