Of Eating Forty Ballots-A Breee
in the Citiseus' Committee.
There were ali Kinds OF rumors anoas yesterday
about the City Hall and Court House in regard g
the movements OF the sub committees or tho I've
Reform Associations 1t was positively asScrto1
that afidavits had been made by parties tending 70
crimnate certain onicials; that these documents
were in the hands OF the Prosecuting Committees
ana that the step would be the arrest OF those
men against whom charges had been made. The
anticipation OF some
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
had tho effect OF keeping the members Of the presa
on the alert throughout the day. The HERALD re-
porters were IN and out OF the different depart
ments, but to all outward appearance the wheels OF
the city government were making their regular
revolutions, and those IN charge OF tho
machinery were at their posts OF duty,
quite regardless or the threatened storm
which the reform committees were raising Every
enort was made TO procure copies OF The ahdavies
said to existence In regard to certain officials
but the memoers Of the committees were very rett-
cent, and declared that they had no documents Of
the klnd their possession they intimated that
arrests might be looked for In . short time.

some offical documents There were no outward evi-
dences Of the severe struggle through which he has
Just passed, politically; nor were there any indicar
tons percepble Of the responsibility he about to
assume maIrimonially. The Mayors shoulders are
pretty broad. and the weight OF responsibility

succumbs to it, He viii assume the matrimonial
yoke with q happy heart and be as iovial a. ever
under It. In his Official capacity he Is visited daily
by The reform committees and his counsel Is sought
upon the anairs Of the city government for no oAs

Mr. Robert Furey was at his post OF duty as usual
