DIFFICULT PIECE OF MOVING.
Careful Engineering Carried House
Over a Steep Embankment.

Careful Engineering Carried House
Over a Steep Embankment.
The moving Of a two-story brick
and frame house wasthe difficult task
recently accomplished at Pittsburg,
says the Engineering Record.
The owner wished to erect a new
residence on its site, and in order to
move it to the new location it was
carried 80 feet in one direction, 100
in another direction over a steep en-
bankment and then lowered 80 feet
to a new foundation. Holes were cut
through the walls d the two opposite
sides just below the first floor and
through them were placed 15horizon-
tai 12x12-inch needle timbers, on
which the walls, partitions and floors
were wedged up. Theneedle timbers
were supported on the double tiers of
cross timbers, and these were carried
on four equi-distant lines Of continu-
Gus longitudinal timbers parallel to
the needle beams. The longitudinal
timbers were simultaneously lifted
by jack screws, and groups Of trans
verse wooden rollers were inserted
under them on the upper faces Of
pairs of longitudinal sills. The lower
part Of the brick work was cut free
from the foundation, and the house
was readily moved forward by means
of horsepower capstan and double
and triple blocks of two-inch manila
rope, and Oh descending the grade
another set of double and triple
blocks we're used in the rear to keeI
the building from moving faster than
was intended through the working
of the blocks and capstan in front.
The stills were supported and KEEP
level by ordinary blocking, which wa'
built up in some places to a height o.
40 feet. The cribbing was made il
dollhouse covers about four fee.
square, built principally with 6xS
inch timbers.
In order to change the direction
of movement the building was liftec
on ~jackscrews until the rollers werI
released. New lower sills we're lait
in the required direction. TIL
rollers were then reinserted be
tween the upper and lower stills AM
the building moved forward in tn
new direction. In this manner
lower level of six feet was obtained
The building was then lowered 2
feet more by taking the weigh
through the sills on jackscrews an.
then removing two courses of tn
cribbing. The screws were slacke
off until they were III in and the
they we're released one in each pal
and reset lower in the blocking, an
then the other was released and rese
always using two screws to eac
blocking.
The estimated weight of the buil(
ing and contents was about 300 ton
and the moving was accomplished b
IA men in about 16 days, withor
even cracking the plaster.

Even at $40 an Hour the Pressure Was

Couldn't Last the Limit.

Derby. Conn. Feb 13-Llstening 10 ele-
price OF $3.50 plot of land wanted badly
by the First Methodist church of STRAIT
ford is exorbitant. So says the Rev. Mr..
Royal w. Raymond, the pastor, after
three hours and a half OF martyrdom for
the benefit OF his flock. The land is
still In the hands OF the unbeliever. who
refuses to sell on any other terms.
The bargain was made last summer bet

requires for a driveway to its carriage

he made this proposition:
II will give you eleven lectures of an

TO Leave
White
HOUSE
Col. Bingham Will Finish His
Duties as Military Aid TO the
President June |.

Washington Feb. 13-Major Thomas
W. symons. corps of engineers. will sue
ceed Col. Theodore A. Bingham as mill
tary aide 10 the president and superin-
tendent Of public buildings and grounds.
The transfer will be made on June /,
and Col. Bingham will then assume the
present duties OF his successor as the
military engineer In charge OF the river
and harbor works IN Western New York
and Western Pennsylvania, with head
quarters at Buffalo.
This transfer has not been unexpected.
Col. Bingham has for the past six years
been the chamberlain OF the White
House He was an especial favorite with
President and Mrs. Mckinley.
The reason OF Col. Bingham's fall from
grace has been his persistent opposition
to the plans and methods OF reconstruct
ing the White House. At present certain
vouchers are held up because the super
intendent of public buildings and grounds
Is not satisfied with the character OF the
work, and demands that certain defects
he remedied. This has irritated the secre-
tary OF war, who recommended the archi-
tects. and Col Bingham's friends have
known that In consequence he would
soon be assigned to active duty.
The relations between Col. Bingham
and Miss Hagner. Mrs. Roosevelts social
secretary. have also been somewhat
strained During the Mckinley regime
many privileges were allowed the super
intendent Of public bXrldngs and grounds
which President and Mrs. Roosevelt were
not disposed to continue.
This season there was a sharp conflict
OF authority between Col. Bingham and
Miss Hagner. When the case was brought
TO the president for settlement. Miss
Hagner's contentious were sustained.
During the present season Col Bingham
has been entirely eliminated from the SUI
perintendency CT the presidents s invitation
list, nor has he been the authority on
questions of precedence as during the for
mer administration

the public schools, the following
letter from Superintendent Hol-

interest by the teachers and school
patrons.

were adopted, December IA, 1901,
by NJ. g. Watson, Jay O'Daniel, and

stituted the Board of Examiners
for Lawrence county, for five years
from that date.
The Attorney General OF the
State has decided that their adop.
tion is legal and building.
1t therefore becomes my duty to
notify the Teachers OF Lawrence
county that Frye's Biographies are
the only Biographies which can
legally be used in the school of
said county for the five years term
mentioned above.
