 STEAM HEAT PLANT
MAINS BEING LAID FROM THE POWER HOUSE OF B. R., L. & P. oMPANY-ExTENT OF THE SYSTEM.

Work on the new $100,0O0 steam heating plant which is being installed by the Bir- mingham Railway Light and Power com pany, is progressing rapidly. The mains have been laid from the powerhouse on Powell avenue to Twentieth street, and excavations on Twentieth street have been made as far as the railroad.
 President Jemson said yesterday that his company would be able to supply steam heat as far over as Morris avenue within thirty days. The mans will run north as far as the new Athletic club building, and spurs will be run east on each avenue as far as Twenty-second street and west as far as Eighteenth street.
 The work is being done by the Ameri- can Steam company of Rockport, N. T., and is called the Holly system of under ground steam heating. It employs the ex- haust steam at the power house. and 1t is claimed that steam heat can be fur nished to consumers at a great saving, as we'll as doing away with the annoy ances attending ordinary methods.
 There is only one other plant of the kind in the south and that is in Atlanta, although the system is In successful op- eration in Cedar Rapids, Ia,. Grand Rapids Mich, Rockford, Penn, New York City, Springfield, H., and Danville.

passed the two negroes. He had gone few feet when he heard a peculiar noise behind him. He turned just in time to see the negro man within a few feet of him running rapidly in his direction. When the policeman turned the negro seemed startled and hesitated Policeman Brlzen- dine said: What do you want?" the negro said, q want a match" The policeman threw open his coat and showed his badge, and at the same time pointed his pistol at the negro, who threw up his hands and surrendered. He had an im- mense Remington weapon, one of the old large style
 The policeman believes that the negro would have been successful had he not made so much noise in running and had he been a second sooner in his actions.

 THE DEATH SENTENCE
RAILROAD WORLD.

The United States government has awarded the contract for the transporta- tion of 300 soldiers from New York to San Francisco to the Southern railway to Memphis, the Rock Islands Choctaw route to El Paso and the Southern Pacific to San Francisco The troops will leave Norfolk. Va, today and are scheduled to leave San Francisco on a government transport January 31. The announcement that these troops are to be sent via Mem phis has caused considerable comment in Chicago and St. Louis railroad circles. They fear that that route between New York and far western points will grow in favor and that 1t would mean in year or two the loss of much business for them It is much shorter than the usual winter route through New Orleans and Chicago and St. Louis men think that since the government has given this route official recognition other business will naturally be sent that way and will result in a big loss of revenue to the trunk lines between those points and New York.
 Work on the extension of the Birming- ham Belt line at North Birmingham Is about completed and it is expected that cars will be running on 1t by February l. This extension will materially promote North Birmingham interests, and as 1t passes through much of the property or the North Birmingham Land company, it will materially enhance the value. of building sites It Is about one and three fourth miles long. reaching the Demmick Pipe works and making transportation available to a grea. many other com cerns.
