San Francisco, July 24.—The gov ernment has determined to make vast improvements in the fortifications around the harbor of San Francisco. To that end the present commander at the passed goin Presidio, Colonel Rawles, has been given a new title which gives him juris diction over all fortifications protecting this city. The hills on both sides of the Golden Gate are to be mounted with more of the heaviest ana most approved ordinance. In speaking of the contem plated work Colonel Rawles said: “We will place on all eligible emi nences the latest improved ordnance. The number, together with those al ready mounted, will approximate 100, I should judge. Many rapid-firing gnus are to be placed, and the submarine mining of the bay and its approaches will hereafter be under the supervision of the artillery instead, as formerly, under the engineer corps. Much work is ahead of ns, but our growing trade with the Orient and outside work has made it imperative that San Francisco should be protected with the latest iin- uroved defenses.” Bastardly Attempt to Wreck South ern Train Near Tenuille. Tennille, Ga., July 24.—Au attempt to wreck a Southern passenger train A 1 near Saudersvilie yesterday failed. The ._ i • train was coming toward Teuuilie. At Silas Point, a mile north of San- fiersville, the track of the Southern runs into a gully around a curve. It is con sidered a dangerous point. Across the track was a pile of promiscuous debris, consisting of rocks, old iron, ties and tree limbs. Sectionman Duffy, who had been at work in that section, was re turning to Saudersvilie, and discovered the work of the wouid-be wreckers and had it removed before the passenger came along. Only one hour before the passenger was due at Silas Point a s'pecial train v „ to Augusta and everything was all right. This is the third attempt to wreck trains near Silas Point within the last six months. Randall thinks they were a party of prospectors who, in an effort to reach St. Michael, had run out of provisions and perished from exhaustion and ex posure.

Birmingham, Ala., July 23. — The shipments of iron and iron pipe from the southern field during the first half of the present year made a very satis factory showing. This territory em braces Alabama and Tennessee, aud is under the control of the southern iron committee. For the time mentioned the shipments of pig iron from the entire field were 760,003 tons, an increase of the first six months of 1900 of 71,395 tc-ns. From tne Birmingham district 420,87.9, a de crease of 5,937 tons. There were shipped during this period 79.910 tons of cast iron pipe, 48,101 tons better than last year. The Birmingham district sent out 31,049 more than in 1900, or 40,426 tons in all. The exports were as follows: For first six months of 1901, 18,374 tons of nig iron and 1,589 tons of pipe, being 34,595 tons less than last year or iron aud 3,004 less of pipe. The tonnage out of the district, it will be seen, is considerably above that of last year. The outlook for the last half of 1901 is that it will be heavier than the first. The falling off iu the export business is due to the good condition of the do mestic market. recent term of the superior court Min aer was found guilty of murder aud was sentenced to death, but a stay of execu tion was granted, as Minder’s counsel appealed to the supreme court for a new trial.
