MUNICIPAL SCANDALS.
Rochester, ". W, OMciaIs Indicted for
Alleged Bribery.


ROCHESTER, n Y, Jan. 30.-Consideraple
excitement was occasioned here this morning
by the fact that the grand jury had handed
down several indictments against city officials
for bribery. Rochester has for a long time
been in the hands Of corrupt politicians, and
the rnmors that the present grand jury was en-
gagged in an investigation of charges against
certain officials caused considerable commo-
tion. Ex-Alderman Felsinger was indicted
short time ago Tor receiving an $500 hribe from
John Lntes, the candidate for oyerseer of the
poor. He plead guilty and was fined $780,
he Z has been before the grand jury. The in
dictments OF today are against Alderman
Siener, who is charged with receiving SLIT of
Lute's money from Felsinger; Alderman Chas
j. Jeffords for alleged receiving of $500 from
City Surveyor Peacock, president of the board
OF aldermen; ]. Millsr Kelly, for alleged re-
ceiving of $500 from Felsinger; City. Clerk
Sheridan, for alleged receiving from S1O0 to
$3.50 from Felsinger: and CitV Surveyor Wm
Gray for alleged paying $500 to Felsinger.
Gray has given bonds. The rest will co the
same. John Denuis, the reporter committed
to jail for contempt of court has been dis
charged by Judge Macomber.
The New York City Scandal.
NEW York, Jan. 3O.-The grand jury of the
Court of General Sessions made presentment
today to the court, in which they state that
they have patiently and carefully investigated
all the evidence brought to them as to the con-
duct Of various city officials during the dis
graceful work which closed the last year. They
say that they are satisfied that many unior-
tanate acts were committed under the impulse
OF personal feeling or prompted by partisan
spirit rather than by desire for the welfare of
the city. La the limited time at their disposal
no legal facts OF evidence have been presented
which would justify their taking action in pre-
sentiDg indictments against the persons whose
conduct they have investigated. SO far as
they pursued the investigation there is pre-
sumptive evidence that charges of bargains
and deals to forward certain nominations and
confrmstions have been we'll founded and
there is presamptive evidence that the at
tempt to serve on ex-Msyor Edison a subpoena
from former grand jury was avoided and hin
dered in manner the highest degree repre-
hensible.

to pay the expenses OF the team. The members Of
