Report Comes From LiitIe Rock Thai Two More Indictments Nave Been nei.rned Against hinl by tlle Pulaski County Brand Jury, and They are Now in inc g.ands Of Jefferson County Sheriff.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 30.-(Spe. ejal.)-It is currently rumored here today that Senator H. K. Toney of Jefferson county is involved in the al- leSed boodling disclosed by the late grand jury vestgations in this city, and it is said that warrants for that 2entlemans arrest on two charges have been forwarded to the Jefferson county officers, and are said to be awaiting his arrival there before serv- ing them.
 One of the alleged warrants for Senator Toney's arrest charges him with conspiracy in entering into an agreement with two other state sena- tors for $250 each to oppose any meas. tire pending ill the legislature having for it's object the remuneration of Ar eenta to Little Rock. The other war rant, so reports state, charges him with bribery, the indictment alleging that he received $250 to vote against the Brooks bill to re-annex Argenta to Little Rock

NO EXCITEMENT
 - asAa CITY CAMPAIGN, so FAR, HAS PROVED VERY TAME
 AFFAIR. The Race for City Attorney Is the One Which Promises to Be the Most Interesting.

While several parties have an- nounced themselves for office in the city government, the city campaign tip to the present time must be re- Sarded as a disappointment, in point of excitement. It was confidently be. lieved by many that a great deal more ginger would be infused into the contests ere this, but the fact remains that were it not for the scramble for alderman ill the Third ward and the race for city attorney there would be little to tell of the story,
 Interest so far centers in the candi dacy of Hons. w. F. Coleman and w. B. Sorrells for city attorney. Mr Coleman is the present incumbent. and is seeking reelection, while MT. Sorrells is asking office again for the first time in several years. Even ly matched as the race is, it gives promise of affording the sensation of the primary.
 The aldermanic race in the Third ward comes next in public interest. The retirement Of Uncle Charley Well leaves open a field for several new aspirants for public favor, and as a result Messrs c. F. Dunnington and E. c. Arnold have announced. with a fair prospect, it is said, of one or two others entering the race before the contest closes.
 In the Fourth ward, MT. ]. 4. Glenn ent is standing for reelection, and n the First ward Mr Fred Fox holds the field to himself so far.
 MT. Harvie Hudson has announe- ed himself for Alderman Riley's job in the Second ward. When asked if he would make the 1ace for reelection, Mir Riley replied:
 No, sir; not a bit of it."
 Evidently Alderman Riley has enough of aldermanic honors at this me. He has served his constituents well and faithfully, however.
 City Clerk W. A. Lee has no an nounced opposition as yet, and things now begin to look as if he would have none, although tbere is yet time for an adversary to announce. Mir. Lee has held the position only part of a term, and has made an excellent city clerk

SOME DOUBTS
SAID THAT COTTON BELT WILL NOT DISPENSE WITH
 AUDITORS.
Said That the Auditors Are Saving Thousands of Dollars Yearly
 for Road

II now seems as if there is some deubt about the Cotton Bclt's aban- donng the auditor system. II will be remembered that q press dispatch from St. Louis q few days ago all nounccd positively that train auditors a.ong the Cotton Belt would be dis continued on or about the first day of February. This caused great rejoc- ing among railway men generally, who have long held it an imputation against the integrity of the conduct. OTIS for the company to keep auditors on the trains
 More recent reports, while not posi- lively denying that the auditors w.I be taken off, state that there is still considerable doubt about the matter. It is understood that railroad officials high in authority are much opposed tC taking off the train auditors, hold ing that the auditors are of great ser vice 10 the company. gentleman Of this class stated recently that he could not believe that the auditors would be taken off the system or that tho auditor system would be aban- doned by the company until he ac- tually saw it done. He declared that train auditors along the Cotton Belt were saving thousands of dollars to h could see no reason why the company should take such action as that claim ed

line are against members of the last legislature, as follows:
 Three against Senator A. W. Gov ington of Clarksville, two against Senator F. o. Butt of Eureka Springs, che against Representative Fuller of Eureka Springs, one against Senator 3 E. McFerrin of Jasper, Newton county, and two against another state :enator reported to be Senator H. K. Toney of Pine Bluff.
 Senators Covington, Butt and tn ether senator whose name is not giv-
 n, but who report says is Senator Toney, were indicted jointly on a charge of conspiracy in entering into an agreement for $250 each to oppose ny measure pending in the legisla-
 ire for re-annexing Argenta to Little Rock.
 Senator Butt and Senator Toney, % it is said, were also indicted for bribery, the indictment alleging that each of them received S25O for voting against the Brooks bill to re-annex .Araenta to Little Rick. This bill pass od the house and was killed in the senate. S''ss'aHeE
 The second indictment against Sen otor Covineton alleges that he gavo Senator r. o. Butt, as bribe, S250 to influence the latter's vote upon the Argenta-T.ittle Rock annexation bill The third ind ctment against Senator Covineton alleges that he accepted ribn in connection with the same bill. IT is charqed that Senator Covington received s1 300 for his vote and influ- oncn on that measure.
 Senator McFerrin and Representa- ivn Claude Fuller were indicted on tha charge of accepting 1.000-mile 5iaaae book from the Iron Mounta Ii Hai!road company.

Senator Toney Absent.

State Senator H. K Toney was married few days ago at York, Pa, and he and his bride are now on a wedding tour. They are expected to arrive home next Thursday or Fri day, when it is expected that the war rants spoken of by the Graphie's Lit tie Rock correspondent will be served upon him.
 Senator Toney was arrested here on June 1, of last year, on an indictment turned in at the May session of the Pulaski county grand jury, charg ne him with soliciting bribe in connec- ten with the bill before the legisla- tlre requiring long distance telephone companies to make physical connec- tons with the independent lines. Within five minutes after his arrest he had made bond and was released His bail was fixed at S3,0O0, which he had no difficulty whatever in mak- ing. His sureties were Messrs. w. H. Lansfcrd M. D. Hearn, w. B. Alex. ander. w. l.. Goodwin, J. R. Core, j. H. Shelby, Mason Philpot and w. l.. Toney. The only difficulty experienced by Senator Toney in mak. ing bail was in having to refuse so man of the voluntary offers of bonds. men who came so readily to his as sitance. The case is still pending.
 At the time of his arrest, Senator Toney, in an interview given out for publication, denied all knowledge of any criminal act on his part, and stat ed that he did not even know for what cause the grand jury had indict. ed him.
 When asked about the matter here, Sheriff Gould stated to a Graphic re- porter that he knew nothing what ever to give out for publication, and it is evident that if the sheriff has any warrants for Senator Toneys arrest in his possession he will not divulge the fact until the documents are served.
 Senator Toney is one of the most universally popular members of the general assembly that Jefferson county has ever sent to the state cap- ital. If arrested on the charges inn puted to him, he will have no difi- culty whatever in making any bond required of him. The report that he is involved in the grand jury's list CT indictments is the cause Of univor- sal regret here ,and it will be difficult to make his constituents believe that he is guilty of any wrone-doing.

RELEASED ON BAIL
McCann, Who Carved Auditor Sur
 Der, Returns to Pine Bluff.

D. q. McCann, charged with cutting Train Auditor s. B. Surber on the Cot ion Belt near Brinliley last Saturday night came back to this city Tuesday, having been released on bail at Clar- endon, where he was taken after his arrest in this city Saturday night, and speaks confidently of his ultimate ac- anittal of the charge pending against him.
 MT. McCann's trial is set for next Monday. He was released on s3.OOO bail, which he readily gave, and re- turned to Pine Bluff, rejoining his family.
 MT. Surber, the wounded man, is said to be doing well, and will soon be on duty again. His wound is said to be only slight one, laying open the flesh on his neck and throat with out serious injury of any kind.
 The brakeman on the train under Auditor Surber states that he saw on- ly small part of the difficulty, but corroborates MT. McCann in the state n:ent that the latter had given the auditor his tickets. He did not see the auditor draw gun, for he says he was out of the coach at the time that incident is said to have taken place, but says that Auditor Surber had a gun on his person.
 It is said here that Auditor Surber states that he did not draw his gun until after he had been slashed by McCann. This MccCann denies.
