BAKERsFIELD, Oct. IA decided sem
alton was caused in town to-day when
the news spread that superintendent of
Schools Alfred Harrell aud ex-County
Treasurer T.. y. Baker has been indicted
by the Grand Jury for the alleged con-
version to their own use of some of the
county's money. There were two indiCt-
Ipents against HarrelI and one against
Baker, both for misrepresentation of
small amounts. They each gave bonds
for their appearance. Both men claim
that the apparent shortage in their ac-
counts is due entirely TO errors in book
keeping. which can ali be explained
when the proper time comes. Both stand
high in the community, and the charges
against them nnd few believers.

The Senate railroad committee put its
seal OF condemnation on the bills of
Senator Br0ughton this afternoon, after
a mOst interesting hearing. The Brough-
ton bills, II is understood, were intro
duced at the instance of the Seaboard Air
Line railroad. They provide, in sub
stance, that all railroads in this state
shall receive from connecting lines all
freight passenger and sleeping cars on
like terms without discrimination for or
against any line or lines The purpose of
the bills was to force the Southern to re-
ceive the business of the sSeaboard Air
Line on terms that the Southern now re-
fuses to grant. Prominent railroad men
representing both sides of the question
were before the committee this afternoon.
The result of the hearing was an adverse
report on all three of the bills. which is
equivalent, at this late day of the ses-
sion, to signing their death warrant.

for division among the heirs of the late
Or. James S. Hamilton and was bought
by John f. Smith, a prosperous farmer
of that neighborhood, who paid in cash
$4,000 for the tract. This deal simply goes

plows, in addition to those already on

Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. 4.-Parties frcm
Orange Park, arriving here to-day, say
that the mixed school at that place no
longer exists, as SUCH The white and ne
gro pupils, il is said, have been separated
and are now being taught in different
buildings. 1t is claimed that the action of
the sheriff of Clay county, in securing a
complete list of the teachers and patrons
of the miXed-race school, has caused this
action on the part of the promoters of the
institution. 1t is thought that so long as
the school is conducted in separate build
ings that no legal action will be taken
against those who have been ignoring the
statute.
The case of George w. Allen, a Key West
banker against George Lewis, a Tallahas-
see banker, for $4,000 damages, has occu-
