FIG. I-BARN PLAN.

And the upper set placed at an eight or nine inch pitch with a truss, as shown at A, Fig |. and these tied together by by 6 or 1 by 8, is sufficiently strong to resist the pressure from above. And the long brace running from the end of the short collar beam to the heel of the rafter and there being notched over the plate and spiked to both the rafter and purline plate, will prevent the barn from spreading from the outward thrust of the roof. for the weight is pulling from the opposite side of the roof if there is any pulling at all. firmly be- heve by this means of bracing it is all most an impossibility for the barn roof to give down or the barn to pull apart The rafters just over the purlines of the lower set are tied so as to prevent it from giving way Thus the roof itself is support to the sides of the build ing And as the purline posts are set in such position the weight of the entire upper portion of the roof rests upon the ground sills- They are so constructed to rest upon block of by 8. set between two of the lower set of studding and passing up between the cross sills and having shoulder resting upon the same above at B.
 Any carpenter can build barn from this drawing. and after it is completed the owner cannot help but be pleased. for he has an abundance of room to store all his crop in one place. The truss of the upper tier of rafters need not be under each of them. If the space between the spans be equally divided into three spaces. it would be sufficient. and then on each set of rafters not hay. ing a truss I would place a collar beam so the lower edge would come on a level with the cross of the truss braces and then nail a 1 by perpendicularly from the comb to the collar beam. This gives good chance to fasten the hang CTS for a track or any kind of hay sling
 Another correspondent of the journal already mentioned sends a sketch Zig 9 of middle bent showing self sup porting roof and post braces instead of purlines: At A A. in barn rafters, you will see the joints are re-enforced by inch boards nailed on each side: also at B B are boards nailed on each side. and at A a piece of 3 by 4 is cut in be- tween the boards and under the rafters.

THE TENTH'S WELCOME.
Great Day In PittsburE-Prest-
 dents Notable Speech.

A Greaf Day In PittsburG-Prest-
 dents Notable Speech.
 Through cheering multitudes who packed eight miles of sidewalks and al- ternated their cheers with tears the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, the only volunteer regiment east of the Missis- sippi to see Philippine service, trium- phantly marched through Pittsburg.
 The occasion was made memorable by the presence of the president of the Unit ed States, Major General Wesley Mer- ritt, General Francis V. Greene, Gov ernor William A. Stone and other prom inent persons.
 President Mckinley delivered a speech at Schenley park in which he welcomed home the members of the regiment and made an emphatic declaration of his Philippine policy. He relieved General Otis of all blame and criticism and said he assumed all the responsibility for the campaign, which, he said, would not stop until the insurrection was suppress ed and American authority acknowledged and esta ablished beyond question.
 The crowd, estimated at from 10000 to 60,0O0, 1t is asserted, was the largest ever assembled here. After the speech making all the commissioned officers of the regiment were the recipients of gold mounted swords, and each private and noncommissioned officer received Q bronze medal presented by the people of western Pennsylvania. After that came big dinner, served in Schenley park, and then the members of the regiment departed for their homes in the various towns surrounding Pittsburg. Every evening during the week there will be receptions in the home towns. These will be followed by the military funeral of Colonel A. l.. Hawkins, who died on the homeward voyage. The funeral will take place at Washington, Pa, Sept. 5.
 The president reviewed the parade in Schenley park.

FIRE IN 4 CONVENT.
Four Lives Lost and Many Persons
 Injured. .-.....


 Injured. .z-.
 Four dead, two missing and seven seri- ously injured is the result in casualties of the burning of St. Agnes convent at Sparkill Monday. The fire wiped out nine out of n total of ten buildings in the group, and that it did not claim more vic tims Is due alone to the bravery in the face of danger and death of the Sisters of Charity who conducted the convent and orphanage and the heroism of some of the older inmates.
 It is charged that the buildings were fired by an incendiary, but that seems hardly credible, for there is apparently an entire absence of motive. Since the house was founded 15 years ago it never turned a supplicant from its doors and had no enemies.
 The known dead are Helen Brown, aged 6 years; Emma Mackin, aged ' years; Jane -, aged 70 years, and Mary Kate Mccarthy, aged 28 years.
 1ne missing and unaccounted for are Therese Murphy, aged Is years, and Mary Brown, aged years. ...- The seriously injured are Sister Sien- ma, shock and collapse, serious; Sister Marie, burns and concussion. moderate; Sister Bertrand, concussion of spine and shock, serious; Sister Katherine, broken arm, moderate; Sister Ignatius, slightly injured by fall; Sister Liguri, shock and hurt by fall. slight, and Hanna Shea, leg broken. moderate.

Model Boarn.

Two descriptions of a model boar are given in agricultural papers. They are essentially the same until we come to the head, where they differ radically. One recommends heavy jowI and a straight nose. The other strongly con- demns heavy jowl as meat in the wrong place and describes the model hog as decidedly dish faced. Both are sincere in their beliefs, and according to their experience both are right They are simply following the model for their own breeds, and each fellow oi course has the best breed.

A THE COLISEUM FALLS.
Great Structure In Chicago Drop
 Without Warming.

Grent Structure In Chicago Drops
 Without Warming.
 Twelve steel arches, each weighing B tons, which were to have supported the superstructure of the Coliseum building. in course of erection on Wabash avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. fell to the ground Monday afternoon. It is known that ten lives were crushed out.
 The direct cause of the accident is not known, and it will probably be several days before it is determined.
 One theory is that shifting of sand beneath the foundation caused the col lapse of the first arch, which brought all the others to the ground. A story which cannot be substantiated is that a number of workmen were using a pulley on the north arch while they were taking down some scaffolding that had been erected around it. They caused the arch to sway. and finally it swayed too far and fell over. .....
 The worF of rebuilding will commence at once, and it is expected that the acci- dent will delay the opening of the build ing not over one month. No financial loss will fall upon the Coliseum company which is erecting the structure. The only losers will bA the Pittsburg Bridge com pany, whose loss is estimated at $25, ,OOO
 A singular fatality has attended all buildings erected in Chicago and called Coliseum. The first to be erected stood on Sixty-third street, and, like the present Coliseum. it collapsed while being built in the fall of 1894. The side walls of the building had been erected and Il steel arches had been put in place. It was desirable that it should be speedily finish ed and the work was pushed night and day. It was the custom of the contract or to allow his men time for lunch be tween II 80 p. m. and midnight. During this half hour, while all the men were ab sent, all the arches fell to the ground, in- turing nobody, but causing a property loss of about $30.OO0. The building was rebuilt, and the last national Democratic convention was held within its walls. The second Coliseum was totally de- stroyed by fire on the night of Dec. 24, lS97
