BALTIMORE, Aug. 30.The agony Is over,
in so far at least as it affects ex-senator, now
Mayor Whyte, who with other members of
the late fire board was presented to the grand
jary for malfeasance in office. As fore
shadowed in tho dispatch of yesterday the
grand jury, in turning in true bills to tho
criminal court to-day, ignored the present.
ment found against Mayor Whyte by simply
erasing his name wherever IL appeared in the
indictment prepared by the states attorney.
Lawyers, politicians, and citizens of high and
low degree thronged the court room. anxiously
awaiting the report of the grand jury, and
while it was generally believed that tho
mayor would not be included among those in
dicted, yet, as nothing was known positively,
much anxiety was manifested by his friends,
and they were greatly relieved when IL was
known that the mayor would not be brought
to trial for completely in the alleged irregular
transactions of the board. What influences,
If any, were used to bring about the result
are, Of course, unknown, as the members of
the grand jury are sworn to secrecy. of tho
twenty-threo grand jurors, the sigma
lures of twelve in favor of true bill
were necessary in order to indict. Thus

the community that Mayor Whyte as lex
offcio) a member of the board should not
have been held criminally responsible for its
acts, either of omission or commission, yet,
in view of the fact that the grand jury had
deemed the evidence sufficient to find pro-
sentmont. there are many in the city who do
not regard the ignoring of the true bill as a
complete vindication of Mayor Whyte's re-
sponsibilty. While not questioning the
personal probity of the chief executive, they
are of the opinion that the vindication
would have been more satisfactory and
complete If it had been made after
an open judicial inquiry into
all the facts in court, rather than within tho
secret precincts of the grand jury room. So
far as the mayor is concerned to-days action
relieves him of all responsibility. The grand
jury, however, returned tho bills against
every other member of the defunct board. in
cluding several prominent and wealthy citi-
zens, and J. Frank Morrison, warden Of the
city Jail and president of the Brush Electric
Light company All the parties indicted are
under $1,000 bail, except Samuel w. Register,
who is still absent with the Knights Templar
on their California tour, but who will soon re-
turn. The grand jury returned three indict-
ments indorsed "true bills"

scales and over 10000 hay scales. The
number of scales made at the works in
1880 was 5000, and in 1881 some So,
900. These figures show an increase
i'll the number made in 1882 over last
year of 10000 scales. The value of
scales made by the company in 1882
approximates S3,OOO,OO0 against 3D.
4l5,0O0 in 1880. The volume of bust
ness has been nearly thirty-five per
cent. larger this year than in 1881.
During the past few weeks scales have
been shipped from their warehouse at
the rate of twenty carloads a week.
The company used over 1900, 900 feet
of lumber in 1882, mostly sawed at
their own mills. They are now melt

Considerable new machinery has been

100 to 200 extra wOrkmen have been
employed. There are now nearly 700
hands engaged.

OF the present board of trustees,
Mccormick, Gray and May are of the
board of 1882. Ide and Ryan are new
men, although Ide was a trustee some
years ago.
1t was voted that the collector of tax
es serve on the same terms us last year,
for 5000.
1t was voted that the second article
in the warrant, relative to raising mon
ey on the grand list to defray the cur
rent expenses and pay the present in
debtedness, be laid on the table until
the adjourned meeting to he held on
the fourth Monday in May, at p. III.
1t was voted that the trustees be in
structed to procure IA superintendent of
the water works who resides in the viii
lage.
The meeting passed with unusual fla
cility and smoethness. There was a
good number of citizens present, as
there should be, showing an interest
taken in the administration of affairs.
The reelection of three of the old
board of trustees was a virtual endorse
ment of their administration. The an
nual expenses of the village are very
heavy, but it may be difficult to deter
mine just where retrenchment should
be made. AT any rate it must be adj
mitted that for much of the money
spent the past year there are perma-
nent improvements to show for the ex-
penditure. Our board of village Off
GERS are working, business men. They
know the value of money as only those
know who have earned it. We think
the tax payers can safely trust their
interest i'll their keeping with the in
junction, treat our interests as though
they We're YOur own.

Tn" New Filter Of the AqueducI

Our readers have been aware of the
extensive work at Stiles pond this past
season which has resulted in building
a large and greatly improved water fill
ter, now just completed. The old filter
was found insufficient in capacity and
i'll other respects, and in order to give
an unlimited supply and steady pres
sure of well-filtered water it was de
termined to build new one. The
amount of tiltering surface at the old
filter was 1872 feet. The amount of fill
tering surface from both filters at pres
ent Is 2lOl feet, or more than four and
one-half times the filtering capacity
given heretofore. This increase of
surface allows the use of the finest
sand for filtering purposes and also
double the depth formerly used. Here
tofore only coarse sand could he used
aS the water would not pass through
fast enough to give a supply. The
depth and quality of material now used
Is as follows: Coarse gravel six inches,
fine gravel six inches, finest sand eight
cen inches. This increase of filtering
surface will give IA steady, even pres
sure, which has been guaged and found
To be as follows On Main street 6s
pounds per inch. on Railroad street 10
pounds per inch. This, with the sew
enteem springs that connect with the
pipes from the filter, will probably give
the patrons of the st. Johnsbury Aque-
duct Co. entire satisfaction.
