Bumstead was the head Grant man in
Jersey City. He was very wealthy man,
but neither he nor his party associates
could get an Office in Jersey City because
the majority there are Democrats. He
therefore got Republican Legislature to

missions were created for the management
OF city affairs, and all Of the Offices thus
created filed with Grants political bum
mers Bumstead, who was delegate to
the late Philadelphia convention which
nominated Grant, was also chairman Of the
Grant county committee, and was, by this
Radical Legislature, made President Of the
Board of Public Works. He was very soon
caught swindling the city, indicted, tried,
convicted and sent to the State Prison fol
a short term. He complained that there
was q predominanee Of Democrats on botl
the grand and petit juries, and that (,

therefore, notwithstanding his grsa

Our WATER WORKS. = From Mr.
Mitchell, President of the Water Board
we learn that out of the 63 MIGRANTS only
about 10 are frozen, and that those are be-
ing opened that there Is no part Of the
city which cannot be covered with hose
and water, in case of fire; that the injec-
ton of steam into the water at the Works
raises the temperature about 10 degrees at
Eagle street, and that it will be continued
so long as the cold weather shall make it
necessary. There are good many frozen
service pipes, the owners of which are
digging them up and thawing them cut.
The Water Board cannot be held respon-
sible for the freezing of service pipes, the
owners Of which should protect them il
they expect them to be of any use

The corOner's jury in the case of Robert
WEIGH, returned verdict that the de
ceased came to his death through his own
carelessBess and that no blame could be
attached to the railroad company or its
employees.
The Moline editor of the Gazette says
'There is considerable just Indignation
here in regard TO the action Of the coroner
in removing the body Of Mr.. WEIGH to
Rock Island for an examination: nor is
this the first time he has done the same
thing. 1t looks as though the coroner
considers the Moline people unqualified to
sit as jurors, or that the paltry fees are
considered as perquisites that should be
long 10 him and his Rock Island friends.
1t may be, also, that railroad influence
had something TO do with it, fearing the
verdict Of our outraged citizens, for it is
well known that trains have been run at
fearful rates Of speed through our city.
We hope the coroner viii explain matters
satisfactorily.
