MORE NEW YORK "RING" INDICTMENTS
The grand jury of the oyer and terminer have
been engaged for several days past Considering
certain facts in connection with the transac-
lions OF the board of supervisors who held office
during the years 1878. 1t is rumored that ex-
Congressman John Fox and Assemblyman
" Denny" Burns will be indicted during the
present session. 1t is further asserted that all
the other members who composed the board of
supervisors at the time named will, in all prob
ability, be also indicted. The indictments
against Messrs. Fox and Burns, it is said, will
comprise charges of having appropriated or
otherwise obtained between $500 900 and $500 900
OF the city funds, which they applied, it is
alleged, to their own use. 1t is stated that MT.
Fox has for some time past been disposing of his
real estate, in order to be prepared for any such
action ON the part Of the grand jury as that now
proposed. This he was induced to do, 1t is said,
on account of private announcement having
been made to him that some action would prob
ably be taken during the present grand jury
term. Mr.. Foxs property is now supposed to
consist entirely, or almost SO, of stocks and
