that the scandal at San Francisco will be insignificant compared
to the alleged grafting here.
The following men are already acoused: Councilmen Wm.
Brand, John F. Klein, J. 0. Wasson, T. L. Atkinson, Jacob Siffol,
W. H. Melaney and Hugh Ferguson, former President W. W.
Ramsey and former Cashier A. A. Vilsack, of the German Na
tional Bank. The information against them accuses conspiracy,
corrupt solicitation and bribery. Bail for the accused aggregat
ed $178,000, which was furnished.
The seven councilmen, it is formally alleged, conspired with
each other and with other persons unknown to secure the pas
sage by bribery of the seloct and common councils of ordinances
and resolutions designating the depositaries of the city, bfidgo
ordinances, bond ordinances for freeing bridges between Pitts
burg and Allegheny, an ordinance for additional filter beds for
the new filtration plant, a Btrcet railroad ordinance and other
municipal matters. All the councilmen are candidates for re
election.
' A preliminary hearing will be held tomorrow.
Rumors in circulation late this afternoon say that six men
have left the city as the result of the disclosures in the municipal
I graft scandal.
