A NEW CAR COUPLER.
Railroad Men Satisfied with a Test
at st. Augustine.

St. Augustine, Fla. Jan. SO-In the yard
of the Jacksonville. st. Augustine and
Indian River railway there was a prac-
teal test made this afternoon of a newly
patented car coupler. A party of about
twenty railroad men and others were
present. Two freight cars of the Florida
Central and Pennsular railroad were
used and President H. NJ. Flagler of the
east coast line placed locomotive at the
disposal of the patentee, Phillip c. Brown
of Washington, D. c. This coupler works
in any position that the car may be placed
and it is not necessary for the trainmen
to go between the cars. 1t was put to five
different tests this afternoon, the most
severe one being what is known as a
''kick" coupling, the car bearing down
at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour
on to the stationary portion of the train.
The coupling was perfect and was not
broken by the tremendous impact. al
though the moving car was on a curve
of ten degrees. The railroad men present
pronounce the new device the best they
have ever seen and predict its universal
adoption.

AN EDITOR FINED.

Page NJ. Baker Must Pay 1 1000 Dol
lars or Serve Five Months in
Prison.
New Orleans. Jan. SO.-Page NJ. Baker,
editor of the Times Democrat, appeared
before Judge Noise at 1:S0 O'Clock this af-
ternoon and pleaded guilty to the charges

or serve four months in the parish prison.
Congressman-elect Buck represented
Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Baker himself made a
statement to the court saying that he was
laboring under great excitement at the
time of the assault upon Mr.. Farrar.
Judge Noise, however, did not seem to
think that this was any palliation of so
serious and wanton a violation of the law
and stated to the accused that his case
appeared to him as an aggravated one and
he felt it his duty to infict the punish
ment as above noted.
Mr.. Baker was paroled to pay his fine.

DEPOSITS OF THE STATE.

Interest IN the RaIouces

Several of the BnnIxs offer to Pay
Interest on the balances.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. SO.-The bankers who
are holding the states money are begin
ming to make offers Of interest for its
continued use. Gov. Atkinson stated to-
day that he had heard from several of
the banks offering to pay interest rang
ing from two to six per cent, while
others have written refusing to pay any
interest at all. He refused to give the
names of the banks. He also received
letters from banks in the places where
the states repositories are located, say
ing that they stood ready to take the
states money and pay interest for using
it If he decided to make a change in the
banks now handling the money. The state
has in the repositories an average of
100000 all the year around. At a reason
able rate of interest something like $780,
600 or $4,000 would be added to the states
revenue.

The senatorial committee of the
thirty-third district met in Toledo last
Thursday. The six counties were rep-
resented by Edward Beverstock of
Wood; ex-senator Geyser of Fulton:
Or. Lathrop OF Henry; Walker of Han
cock; Jones of Putnam, and Thos. Fl.
Tracy OF Toledo, holding proxy OF Fred
Holliger the member from Lucas. The
matter OF fixing the time and place of
holding the senatorial convention, and
the manner OF selecting delegates to
the same was considered. Findlay was
chosen as the place and September 4th.
as the date, and the basis of represen-
tation was fixed at one delegate for each
100 votes or fraction over 80 cast for
Secretary OF State in the fall of 1894.
A discussion then arose as to the man
ner in which the delegates should be
selected. Lucas county having se.
lected her delegates early in the cam.
paign, the delegate from Lucas pro-
tested against the adoption OF any rules
whereby the delegates chosen by that
convention should be dIsfranchised
Jones of Putnam presented a call
which provided that the delegates
shouid be selected not less than so days
prior to the time OF holding the con-
yeption. The adoption OF this call
would knock out the Toledo delegates,
and ON its adoption the committeeman
we're divided-Tracy OF Lucas, Bever-
erstock OF Wood ana Geyser OF Fulton
voting against IT. Thus the matter
stood until 8 o'clock, when the commit.
tee adjourned to meet in Findlay, July
8, when it Is hoped the question will
be amicably settled.
