Blast Furnace EmpIOye Suspended
By His Jacket 100 Feet From
the CrOund For an Hour.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Suspended in
midair by his jacket 100 feet from the
ground, Andrew Anderson, employed
on blast furnace in the Illinois steel
works, hung for an hour Monday,
while employees of the works trie.

tension ladders the man was taken
from his perilous position and, ex-
hausted, carried to the ground. He
was taken to tine. company's hospital,
where he soon recovered.
The accident which placed Ander-
son in the perilous position resulted

when the scaffolding broke, falling
with its human burden. Twenty feet

In the valleys the tin should run at least
eight inches under the shingles at each side,
and should be opened not less than two
inches at the top and three inches at the
bottom.
Where the shingles come in contact with
the chimneys there should be lead Hastings
let into the brick work and tin counter
flashing shingles into each course, with the
lead flashing let down over the tin counter
flashing.
Inside Finish-Before any finish is de-
livered at the house, the building should be
thoroughly cleaned and plastering absO-
lutely dry, as kiln-dTied finish will take in
moisture like sponge. If, after the finish
mas been delivered, there comes a wet day,
with damp wind blowing it will take in
moisture from the damp air, and of course,
afterward shrink, so that too great care
cannot be taken in seeing that the house
is first absolutely dry, before any finish is
delivered, and, in the second place, after it
has been delivered, in protecting it from the
circulation of damp air, or rainy days in
closing up the building, covering with tar
paulins, or something of that sort.
If possible, it is a very good plan to have
the furnace or heating apparatus connected
up, so that on cold, damp or fOggy days a
little heat can be introduced into the build
ing to offset the effects of the outside at
mosphere.
These are important matters; so i'm
portant that I would prefer to overlook al
most anything else. If the finish is ever so
good and the work ever so well done, a
little carelesness in this respect will offset
it all.
Setting Frames-The first thing general

the roof to the ridge, the cornice being put
on after the paper, so that protection
against the cold is obtained from the sill
of the house to the ridge pole. This paper
should also be placed under all castings
around openings and doubled over corners.
Tt should be carefully fastened to keep II
from tearing in the wind until siding or
outer wall cover has been applied.
Cornices--In framing for the cornice, fur
ring blocks should be used, so as to pro-
vide solid mailing for all members of the
cOrnice. If cutters are specified or shown
in the plans. they should have pitch, so a
to carry the water to conductors or open
ings, at points shown on plans. The gutter
should have good solid sides and bottom
with an even pitch, to receive the tin work.
On the finish work or cOrnice all joints
should be made close and tight, and each
member should be well and securely nailed
to the Turing, so that no buckling or
shrinking will occur, and when the cOrnice
is finished all members will be perfectly
straight and true. All lumber for the
cornice should be perfectly dry, and under
no circumstances should green lumber be
used as it bends up and leaves openings
through which the cold enters
Outside Finish-Siding, or ciapbGards
may be used of pine, cedar or spruce.
1t generally comes in two sizes, which are
known as siX-inch and four-inch, the six
inch generally being laid AZ inches to the
weather, and the fOur-inch 21a inches to the
weather. Cedar siding is not quite so good
as pine or spruce, as it splits very easily;
and of the three kinds, good soft, white
pine may be said to make the best. Siding,
by rights, should be free from all knots,

Washington, Nov. 27.-Gen. II. V.
Boynton, chairman of the Chickamau-

park commission. has submitted his
annual report to the secretary OF war.
The report says:
''The work of establishing the park

for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901
including a specific appropriation of
$4,000 for completing the LaFay cite
road extension were $4,000. These,
with two other small items alrgre-
eating S2.53, make the total receipts

The results of the inspection, par
ticipated in by prominent members
of the armies which tok part in the
actions as well as commissioners from
the states whose troops were engaged
were Of the most satisfactory charac-
ter
OF the 22S monuments only two
were claimed to be wrongly placed,
and those who preferred the claim
as to one of these were not aware
that after most exhaustive study of
the claim, the secretary of war had
sustained the present location.
Of the 341 state markers only two
were claimed TO be out of position.
Of these one had been placed by the
commission with the knowledge that
it was only approximately correct,
awaiting the very information now
secured to correct ITS position.

Grades Of lumber differ very generally. in va

in Minneapolis yards is acknowledged to
rank higher than that of any other Sec

very frequently used on very fair work. In
other sections this grade would not answer

mention this simply to call attention to the
use in one section would be amply sufficient
in another. Nothing less than the grades
established by the rules of the MissiAippi
Valley Lumbermen's association should be
accepted as these are minimum. This APP
plies also to all framing and finished lumber
The sills of all windows and the bottom
members of all cornices should be grooved
three-eighths of an inch to receive the sid
ing on the under side; and the stool and sill
should Mt into each other so as to be wealth
CT proof in a driving rainstorm.
The siding should be fitted up close to all
castings and corner boards should be free
from all hammer marks. This applies to
cornice work as we'll;
In case shingles are used for the outer
finish, they should be laid as called for by
the plans, and 1t is generally desirable 70

THIS ten-rOom residence will cost
$500. The foundation is rubble

very best. The height of the first
story is 915 feet; second story, nine
feet; basement. seven feet. All ma
teriaI and details used in the erection
of this home will be in keeping with
the standard specifications, and the
following is the best method telling
how this work should be executed:
Roof BOarding-Roof boarding is gener-
ally eight or ten-inch boards, laid about one
inch apart A much warmer house how
ever can be obtained with matched lum-
Der, the same as for the outside walls. Over
this roof and wall boarding should always
be laid good building paper. This may be
a rOsin-SiZed and tarred building paper, or
a felt lining paper. On general principles,
the thicker the paper the better and warmer
the house will be, for really the sheath
ing boards and this paper lining are to keep
out the wind which might enter through
crevices in the wood work. This paper
should be, whenever possible, continued from
the sill of the house, up the walls behind
the cornice, over the plate and on top Of

thus making a very bad-lOoking job indeed.
The shingles as well as siding should lay
into the stills and all members of cornices.
Roof Shingling-The shingles should
start in a double course at the gutter or
lower edge of the caves, projecting about
one-half inch; and the next and following
course should be laid at not to exceed five
inches to the weather, carefully breaking
joints and splitting shingles over eight
inches in width and mailing each shingle
firmly with two nails. All hips and ridges
should either have ridge roll or the hips
should be timed with the tin bent unde-
the butt of each shingle carefully nailed.
The ridge should have ridge board well
nailed down upon the top of the last course
of the shingles which would be cut on.

CAR LINE FOR BULL STREET.
VERNON SHE'LL ROADS PETITION
READY FOR COUNCIL.

Property Owners HndOrse the Petit
ION to Allow Tracks on Bull Street
From Twelfth street to Park Ave-
nue. and on Park Avenue East and
West to Lincoln and Montgomery
Streets-The Petitions VIII he Sub
mitted to the City Council To-
night.
Several numerously signed petitions will
be presented 10 the City Council tonight
requesting that it grant the petition of
the Vernon Shell Road Company for
city franchise for street railroad purposes
to be used in conjunction with a line to
White Bluff and other suburban points.
Those interested in the matter state that
they have had very little trouble in secur-
ing signatures, almost every one to whom
a petition has been presented signing
readily.
These petitions differ somewhat from
the one recently presented to Council by
the Shell Road Company, as, in addition
to the routes mentioned in the company's
petition, the private petitioners ask that
the company be allowed to construct a
line down Bull street to Park avenue and
coin and Montgomery streets, and thence
south on those two streets as previously
outlined for other routes.
A petition, asking THAI this route be
granted has been circulated among the
property owners on Bull street south of
the Park Extension, and a large num-
Der have signed it. Those having the
petition in hand say that they will easily
obtain the assent of a large majority of
the property owners on the street to the
granting of the proposed franchise Some
of the larger property owners are OPP
posed to granting the franchise, however,
and will doubtless make a fight against it,
The company seeking the franchise
claim that the route down Bull street is
the most feasible one for a line entering
the city from the south and the one which
will accommodate the greatest number of
citizens. 1t is pointed out that residents
on Bull street south of the park now
have to walk two blocks, either east or
west, to catch car going north, as the
cars run north only on Abercorn and Bar
nard streets. 1t is also claimed that the
difference between Bull street south of the
park and Bull street north of the park is
so great that the objections which would
hold against granting a street railway
franchise for the northern portion of the
street cannot possibly apply to the south
ern portion and that the great conVen-
fence which would be afforded the resi-
dents of that section would more than
make amends for any injury TO the APP
pearance of the street, if such there
should be.

MIR. KRENsoN,s CHARGES.
City Council VIII Pass Upon DIR.
Lewis Conduct Tonight.

AT the meeting of City Council tonight
the charges preferred at the last meeting
by Mr.. w. D. Krenson against DR.. NJ.
III. Levi, one of the city physicians, will
be heard The charges grew out of the
effort of DIR. Levi, in company with other
city physicians, acting under the instruc-
tons of the health officer, to enforce COM
pulsory vaccination. In the course of their
work the physicians visited the store of
j. d. Weed & Co., for the purpose of
vaccinating those there or requiring them
to show evidence of previous vaccina-
lion.
Mr.. Krenson entered very decided obJec-
tions to this summary procedure, and he
and DR.. Levi engaged in a heated COLO
guy, the former declining to exhibit his
arm on the ground that the time allowed
in the Mayors proclamation before en-
forcing compulsory vaccination had not
expired.
DR.. Levi called in a policeman to arrest
Mr.. Krenson, but further proceedings
were cut short by Mayor Myers. who tel
ephoned that it was not intended that the
physicians should resort to extreme meas
ures and that citizens had a right 10
avail themselves of the time allowed in
the proclamation. The upshot of the mat
ter was that Health officer Drummer call
ed in his forces and the work of compul-
sorry vaccination was temporarily sus-
pended.
Both Mr.. Krenson and Dr.. Levi Will be
heard by Council and such other wit
nesses as they choose to present Will
doubtless be heard from also.

LEONARD A CANDIDATE.
Announces That He Is in the Race
for sheriff.

Capt. Edward A. Leonard announced
himself yesterday as a candidate for
sheriff. The announcement was made
privately to a few friends, but when seen
by a Morning News reporter, Capt. Leon
ard confirmed the report. When asked If
he expected the Liberal Club nomination
he replied that he did not know if there
would be party nominations for sheriff,
but remarked significantly that he was
the only Liberal Club man who had an
nounced for the Office as yet
Capt. Leonard is a staunch member of
the Fourth District Liberal Club and was
one of the speakers at the meeting of that
organization last night. He has always
been actively identified with the Liberal
party and has good reason to expect sup
port from that quarter. Aside from his
party affiliations he has a large circle OF
friends who would be glad to see his am
bition gratified. He has been an officer
in the Irish Jasper Greens for several
years, entering the volunteer service dur
ing the late war with Spain as first lieu
tenant Of the company and succeeding TO
the captaincy on the resignation of Capt.
p. f. Gleason. He is now first lieutenant
of the company.
Capt Leonard's chief support will doubt
less come from the Fourth district, of
which he has been a lifelong resident. He
held clerical position with the Plant Sys-
tenn for a number of years and is very
popular with the employees of the system.
1t is needless to remark that should he
secure the endorsement of his party he
will make a very strong race.
