Bonio Fncts About , the jEM.ito He liotivca Two DUorco Sultn The 1'ollco Honntl-Up Oilier Liocnl , They Want , n New ncotor. On next Sunday evening Hnv. E. T. flatnol , who for several months back has been nctliiR rector of Trinity cathedral , will prcncli hln last sermon in that place of worshii ) . Ho will then duvoto himself to n special business in the ministry fern n short time , after which ho will return to England. Jtov. Air , Hamol came hero in Juno last at the request of Bishop Worthington - ton , with the understanding that ho would rcnmln six inontlm. Tlius far but four of these have passed , rnd yet his ntliru * jnent is nlrciidy announred. Before coniinu to this place ho had olliciateil at Columbus in this stain , where ho loft nmny friends , and caint ) hero with tlielr best wislies. Ho iinuressed many of bis people hero with the belief tlmt ho was an energetic nnd consciftiitious cenlleman , almost from the time of his lirut appearance. Since then , ho has Btrengthened the impression by n number of sermons which he has delivered , all of which showed great fervor anil.cal for the spiritual advaneemiMit of his people. Hoi long since , in one of his Sunday evening discourses , he referred to some of the shortcomings of his Hock , one of which was a seeming lack of intm-st and fervor In jtltnmlancoupon divine worship. TliuollbrtwuHi1 .rlousarraignmentoftlio congregation , wnicli hail not been accus tomed to such censure , and consequently attracted great attentionand caused quite an amount of dissatisfaction. Another Kcrmon was delivered later , which did not help to linnnoiu/.o matters. Since then , thorn has been more or less dissatisfac tion with Mr. Hamel , thotiirh it has been of a uniformly friendly nature. It was millieuMit , however , to show that rector and people could not abide in harmony , and an n consequence , their separation is nbonl to take place. Jlr. Hamel's suc cessor will , in all probability , bu the Uev. Mr. CJardner , of utiea , N. Y. , a gentle man who preached in the cathedral a few weeks ago. .JOHN JIITUIlCOCIt'S IilSATIt. Bonn : Facts Concerning the Siul Af fair The Km a to. As will bo seen by reference to the death notice column of the lii ! : : , the fun eral of .John G. Hitchcock- , who died Sat urday at St. Louis , will take place to- dav from the family residence. Tlio death of young Hitchcock , though sudden , was not unexpected. l 'or sev eral months past he badj been sulVering from ill health and depression of spirits , which foreboded mental collapse. About eight weeks ago he went to iMiinieapoIis and Lake Minnc'.nnka , hopintr that the clnuuru might benelit his health. Very little impiovemi'i ! : , however , was no ticed in his condition. Omaha people who met him at IMinnetonka bench no ticed that ho acted strangely and utterly unlike his usual self. Still at the time it was not suspected that insanity was about to developo. A few days later , it may bo remembered , ho was picked up while wandering about tins streets of Minneap olis , hopelessly demsnled. lie was taken in charge by the chief of police , who at once notified his Omaha relatives "of'his condition. He was taken to St. Louis for treatment and placed in a pri vate asylum , where ho received the bust of care. It was evident , however , that his condition was well nigh hopeless. Shortly after his removal to jt. Louis he Biillercd a severe btroko of paralysis. This was followed soon after by another , and his brother , Mr. ( i. M. Hitchcock , of this city , was notified to come on utpnce , as a third , and probably fatal stroke , was imminent. On Saturday another tele gram was received to the efl'ect that the young man's death was hourly expected as ho was Kiifl'ering from thu third stroke. Mr. Hitchcock at once went to St. Louis , but arrived there after thu death of his brother. From the time that the young man was taken to St. Louis to lliu hour of Ins death he was in a condition which gavo'no grounds for the hopu that ho might recover. His rare in tervals of lucid ness wore followed by lits of incoherent raving , and again by long spells of trloomy despondency. John Hitchcock was well known in Omaha and Nebraska , on account of the ( loop interest which he took in athletic sports of every character. He was a member of tbn Omaha Wheel club.boing ut onetime captain of that organfctiUon , to whoso success he largely contributed. Much of his time ho spent in the uast , attending - tending bicycle races and tournaments. lie was a good short-dislancii rider and won prlzo.s on several occasions , by de feating some of the crack riders of thu country. Somu facts concerning the Hitchcock estate may not bo uninteresting. When Phlnims Ur , Hitchcock , the father , died EOinu time ago ho left no will , and ao cordinsr to thu usage , his cstatu was to bo divided among his two sons. Gilbert and John. Tim exeeuter'H ilmil report , Jiled in May , shows that after paying all claims against thu eslato thoru remained a cash sum of about ! ? 1,000.00 ! ) , besides ihu personal and real estate ) m > porty. One-half ot thu cash sum. or$7iU.r ! > l , was paid over to John Hitchcock on May 2a , 18SO. This Juftthu real estate and personal property to bu divided among the two sons. Thu ' real cstatu comprised much valua ble property in this city , .r > 8J : acres in Douglas county , ' . ' 80 norou in Sannders county , 80 acres in rillmoroeountyl(13 ( acres In Hurt county , some Jots in David City , two lots in St. Louis , Mo. , besides an unascertained in terest in the 1'otni'o grant in New Mex ico. Thu property Is estimated in value between $3K > ,001) ) mui sJiJOO.OOO , By the death of John , thu whole , of course , re- vurtsto Gilbert Hitchcock. In addition to this Jghn Hitchcock hnd mi interest in thu estateof his grand father , Gilbert O. Monell , n sharn of which would luivo fallen to him upon the death of his grandmother. Mrs. G. 0. Monell. Mr , MonoH'swill loft the wholu of his cstatu to Ids widow with the provision' that upon her death ono-half of It was to bo ummlly divided between the threu Hitchcock children , draco , Gilbert and John. As two of the three are dead , thu undivided half will , upon thn death of Mrs. Monell , rururt to Gilbert Hitchconk. The vaJnu of the ostatu is not exactly known , but may bo roughly estimated at if 150,000 , so that the total valtto of the estate loft bj John Hitchcock will closely approximate $200,000. _ Hall Notes , The Grand Islam ! train caiuo in yoslor- layabout ono hour and a half late.

New York Commercial AdverlKer : The funniest thing 1 ever saw or heard of in connection with the memory of ani mals happened one year when I was out west with a traveling menagerie. You've heard , of course , how elephants will re member an insult twenty years , some say longer. Well , this little incident con cerned n girall'o and'girall'es , yonknmr , are not generally credited with much 'sense , anyway , to way nothing of memory , lint this one showed n great deal of the latter quality , anyway. Wo had got as far as Koek Island , III. , where wo had to cross the Mississippi on an old ferry , that being before the big government br.dge was built there. Everything went all right until we camn lo this giraffe. He wouldn't go on the ferry. Coaxing , scar ing , pushing , beating did no good. He simply lay down on tlio river bank and would not budge. While 1 was working over him the ferry made another trip. When she came back up gets Mr. Oirallb as spry as yon please the first time I urged him and marched straighten on to the ferry. Several people who had been on the boat the trip before and seen the giraffe's queer capers on the other side of the river were waiting to sco what kind of luck I had. Well , the boat was llfty feet or so from this down shore when that giraffe happened to turn his head toward the landing and see those people. He gave a giraffe trumpet , and , before I knew what he was doing , jumped over the rail into the water. It took three-quarters of an hour to pull him out. Now , what do yon thinic was the matter with that giraffe ? I discovered it while the crowd was gathering around the rescued animal be low the dock. Among the people was one tall slim young fellow that thogiruffo seemed to have a particular aversion to , ' When ho saw tl'io young man near him ho begun to tremble violently , and made desperate efforts to break away. I ques tioned tint young man , and found that a year before ho had crossed on tlio ferry boat with this monugorio. There was a giraffe among the animals on the lower deck , and his head had stretched way up to tlie passenger duck of the ferry , where the young man was sittinir with some friends. As the giraffe's long neck bad come twisting around in his direction ho had been cruel onir.igh lo lake a quid of lobacco and throw il down tbo giraffe's upon moith. No doubt it was the same giraffe 1 had with mo thenand no doubt , too , hu rccogni/.ed his tormentor the in stant his eyes fell on him.
