Criminal Charges Against Aid. Low as
to Official Conduct.
COUNTY ATTORNEYS STAND.
Bold Attempt to Commit a Burglary
Doings Of the City
Council.

The long-threatened proceedings
against the aldermen were begun yes
terday by the filing of complaint by
Mr.. Marsh against Low, making GRIM
inal charges as to his official conduct.
The county attorney has taken stand
on his resolve that he will cOuntenance
no proceedings that do not include all
the officials connected in similar man
ner with those on which Marsh bases
his charges against Low, and has
caused to be filed with the Low CON-
plant, an order from Judge Manwaring
directing that no warrants OF arrest be
Issued until complaints have been filed
against all involved in the alleged ne
farious transactions. Consequently, Mr..
Marsh informs the GLOBE that he is
about to file exactly the same charges
against Aid. Kitty, Goodman, Yates
ana Pattee, who were also members OF
the preceding council. and that all
will be arrested tomorrow, after
giving the victims opportunity
to celebrate Independence day. 1t is
said, however, that the county attorney
will insist that MI. Marsh must include
in the grist eX-MayOrs Staples and Sey-
mour, and ex-Ald. Conrad, Borrowman,
Voligny, Lyors, Burke and Murray,
and the present Aid. Reed, Strom and
Anderson, all of whom participated in
whatever offense was committed by one
in the things complained of by Marsh.
The latter's complaint alleges that MIR.
Low willfully, corruptly and feloniously,
as a member of the council, levied
special assessments for the pupose of
making certain street improvements,
but refused, with the others, to keep
said money separate from other moneys,
and expended it for other and different
purposes; that he voted to pay bills on
contracts in which one of the alder
men (Voligny) was interested, and.
moreover, voted to pay the contractor
(John Jodoin) more than the contract
allowed him: also that he voted to pay
bills of the Saltwater Daily Gazette for
city printing. when bids for doing such
work had not been advertised tor, and
thereby paid out of the city funds more
than the work could otherwise have
been done for. ''Wherefore, the COM
plainant prays that said George Low
may be arrested and dealt with accord
ing to law.'

nevertheless, row in the race to-day.
The other crew wish it stated that the
report that they have rowed together
for two seasons, or for any length OF
time, is incorrect.
For the parade to-day A. Frederick
has been appointed marshal. with o: b.
Lee and W. E. Cooke as aides. The
procession will form at a. IN. at the
old ball grounds, and will move thence
to Third. Linden, Second, Myrtle and
