From Massachusetts

Lowell, Mass, April 10. The examina-
ton before the committee of City Council on
the rumors of fraudulent acts on the part of
the water commissioner, commenced at two
Z. M. to-day. The legal council appeared
for several unsuccessful bidders for con-
tracts. The commissioners said if it was to
assume the form of trial, they wanted ten
granted, and very soon T. H. Sweetser ap-
peared. Much time was spent in deciding
the form of procedure. No charge having
been put in, Mr.. Nicholas of the firm of Cole
Il Nicholas, founder in this city, finally ap-
peared and stated that he was bidder on the
first contract for pipe; that he was $3.50
higher than Geo. Norman, of Newport, and
the latter got the contract. He thought he
ought to have received it being a Lowell
man. He had no complaint to make, how
ever.
q Mr.. Alfred Gilman the former clerk lately
discharged, testified from written sheets what
he had observed that he considered wrong on
the part of the commissioners, what he had
heard, and his suspicious that two thousand
dollar note in the office, from Norman to the
commissioners, which had disappeared from
the office tor a while, was not above suspi-
cion, and that the schedules of Norman's
bids had been'altered to enable him to get the
contract.
Mr.. Gilman's testimony was quite lengthy.
