MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION.
Nknv York, April 7. The Grand Jury at Pittsburg ordered the indictment of Frank Hoffstot, steel manufacturer and banker, on charges of conspiracy and also of paying 52,500 dollars to Stewart, a member of the City Council, for the purpose of securing the selection of the Farmers’ Deposit, Second National and Germania Banks as the deposition for the city funds. Winter, president of the Working Men’s Savings Trust Company, admitted paying 20,000 dollars to Morris Fiustern as a bribe to secure the selection of his institution as the city depository.
Owing to the ineffectual issue of attempts to check municipal “graft” Bishop Whitehead, of the Episcopal Church at Pittsburg, has ordered special prayers next Sunday for deliverance from political corruption.
