Report of Grand Jury.

The grand jury in it's final report to the criminal court made today had the follow ing to say We have made a careful and thorough examination of the matter of the letting of the contracts for the building of sanitary sewer. and the bids of the contractors in relation thereto, and we find that there were no improper in- fluences attempted to be brought to bear upon any member of the sanitary com. mission, either by any of the contractors or any person acting in their interest or behalf, the entire testimony developing the fact that at no time was the interest of the county jeopardized by any contract made between private parties, or other wise for the obtaining of said sewer con- tracts. We gave this matter our special attention because of the rumors prevalent, on account of the claim for S10,000 filed against the Donelson Construction Com pany before the referee in bankruptcy and the testimony given by certain wit nesses on that proceeding"
 This Is the matter which caused a great sensation a few weeks since in Blrming- ham, D. NJ. :Drennen filing the claim against the Donelson Construction Com pany for $10,000 due, it-isr claimed, for advice offered in the effort to secure the contract for constructing the sewer.
 The grand jury was in session twenty four days, docketed 276 cases. Something like 750 witnesses were examined and ITO true bills returned. The bonds of county officers were found good and the county jail in fine condition. The old hospital part of the jail is condemned. The sheriff reports -176 prisoners in jan,g 8 white males. no white females; 11& colered males and 25 colored females. Tine almshouse has 15 inmates
