WAsHISGroS,-Ther arrived III this
city yesterday q gentleman who Is taking
a yrea. in.eres. In the star route prosecu.
,ions. His name is Jennings, and be
comes here to tell little story which rs
uithout doubt a counterpart Of what hun
dreds of other sub contractors could tell
were they so disposed Among DorseyA
routes in Montana was one about 2O
miles in length. The schedule OF this
route allowed eighty -four hours for the
trip and required three trips per week,
The pay for tbs service was s22, 900. Dor
sey sub-let this route to Jennings, for
&l2, 900 and pocketed $4,000 per year
clean cash Dorsey two year, ainco went
to work and had the route Expedited
from eighty four to si1ty hours, and the
pay consequently raised to about 81, 600
He pocketed the 81, 900 additional pay
and told Jennings he had bettsr make his
trips in sixty hours instead of eighty-fo
hours, as the government would prefer it,
but made no raise in the contract price
Jennings obIigingly attempted to do this
work In sixty hours, but failed frequently,
owing tn insufficient equipment. As
result tines were inflicted, and last year
Mr.. Jennings fine exceeded his pay as
sub-contractor by nearly 81 600 This
proceeding naturally made Mr.. Jennings
contract Improbable. and he was obliged
to throw it up. The government Is max
Ing a thorough investigation in this case
and it is thought that Jennings fines will
eventually I've romitted.

A Herdlds Washington dispatch Of the
22d says The janitor at the police court
Building WAS surprised late tonight by
the appari,ion Of woman bareheaded
and i'll her night-dress rushing madly up
Louisiana avenue toward Sixth street
he overlook her just As she was entering
the law office Of Cook d Cole, and to his
amazement discovered that it was Mrs.
Lille Christiancy, defendant in the cele
brated divorce sui;. Her hair was stream
ing over her shoulders, her feet were de-
void Of any covering whatever, and she
Was scratching wildly and visc:Ously at
her face. The janitor endeavor, d to por-
suade her 10 return-to her residence, but
she broke away and exclaimed that she
would nevss return home again, that she
war ed to see her lawyers ON very i'm
portant business Her shrieks attracted
quite crowd, and gentleman kindly
volunteered to relieve Hughes Of his
charge. A carriage WAS quickly sum
monsd and the unfortunate lady was
placed In it and driven to her residence,
about four squares from the spot whore
she was discovered. Her rawlings were
terrible to listen TO as she was bornedovn n
louisiana avenue. 1t is asserted tha.
the evidence submitted by the prosecu-
,ion in tho divorce suit during the past
week or two has been Of very damaging
character, and Mrs. Christiancy has brood
ed continually over it. 1t was impossible
for anyone to see her to night, as she was
under doctors care who had prescribed
absolute res. and given her narcotics to
induce sleep. Her means could plainly
be heard on the sidewalk and passers by
were attracted by the unusual sound m
til crowd had congregatedin the vicinity
Of the house. The affair has created ex
citement in this city owirg to the fact
that the parties are so well known. The
construction put upon Mra ChristIancy's s
conduct is that her troubles have driven
her mad, and the next step in the case
may be to send her to an asylum.
