A Pneumatic Mail Service.

Negotiations are in progress between the
Post Office Department and a company of
Boston capitalists for the operation Of a
pneumatic tube mail service system in Bos-
ton from the post Office to the North Union
station. a short circuit. The preliminary
arrangements have been almost completed
and the contract doubtless will be closed
early The system will be substantially the
same as that in New York, for which a
contract for four years was recently let to
a syndicate represented by John L. Milhol-
land. The contract will call for two eight
inch tubes. and carriers of a little less than
seven inches caliber. Both the Boston and
New York tube systems will be built on
larger systems than that of Philadelphia,
the only other cities having pneumatic tube
mail advantages.

conferences with other senator's on both

a disposition to hold out persistently for

say that none of the changes will be an

Members of the committee told their col

made from beginning to end of the bill
because of the belief on the part of the
committee that some of the House rates
would be practically prohibitive. They
fave listened patiently to advocates of
increases, but have granted but few of
their requests. One of the members said
today that the bill would be a revenue
bill and not prohibitive bill.
The committee has practically agreed
upon a modification of the retroactive
clause of the Dingley bill. which. it is
hoped. will be satisfactory to the oppo-
nents OF the House provision.
The wool men are still harassing for radi-
cal changes. The wool growers are not
satisfied with the rates of the Mantle
amendment, but they want complete
change of classification. and still insist
that no woods shall be admitted for less
than eight cents a pound. While some
changes are probable in this schedule. it
is quite certain that these demands will
not be entirely met.

HIS WIFE DEPARTS.



Younger Man.
The sossips of the Treasury Department
had fine bit of scandal to talk about to-
day. 1t involved the domestic establish
ment of Mr.. Frederick Grimm. one of the
oldest and best known clerks Of the de-
partment. now occupying a desk in the Of
flee of the assistant superintendent of the
building.
He is jovial. good-natured German. and
is liked by everybody who knows him.
which includes nearly every government
employe in the District. About eight years
ago. when he was in vigorous health, al
though somewhat advanced in years he
married Miss Harm IN, daughter of Judge
Harmon. at that time deputy auditor of the
treasury.
She was q buxom young woman, many
years mis- junior. Nothing occurred to dis
turb their connubial felicity until three
heart Mr. Grimm gave shelter in his house
to an Italian named Albert +. Cont, who
said he was in hard luck and wanted a lit
tie assistance until he could find work
He was plausible individual. and had
no trouble in imposing on the generosity of
Mr. Grimm. The latter took a real inter
est in his case, and after considerable
trouble secured him place in the Treas
ury Department as an Immigrant inspec-
tor. To accomplish this he enlisted the
active support of Senator Gibson of Mary
land. Notwithstanding Cont claimed Col
orado as his place of residence.
He represented that he was a democrat.
and had done great service for the party in
the west
His duty as an immigrant inspector
caused him to make frequent and pro-
lcrged visits to the Canadian frontier.
Whenever he was in this city. which was
usually the case. he made his home with
the Grimms
Although not an attractive man. he was
much younger than her husband and soon
found favor in the eyes of the tickle Mrs.
Grimm. He showed her great attention.
and was frequently in her society. but the
arouse his suspicious until he learned too
late that his wife was false to him.
This sad fact became known to him in
tn most positive way last Friday. when
his wife disappeared In a most uncere-
monious way. leaving a rote for him say
more. and had left him forever. taking
with her her baby of eighteen months.
She also gave him to understand that she
loved Mr.. Cont, and had gone to live with
him. The guilty pair were traced to Phil
adelphia, where Cont was stationed at the
time. and from there they went to New
York, where they and the innocent child
are supposed to be at present.
When Contis perfidy was disclosed to
Secretary Gage he ordered his immediate
dismissal from the service. but before the
notice was delivered Contis resignation
was received at the department.
Mr.. Grimm is nearly broken-haarted over
the affair. involving. as it does, the dis
grace of his family. but he takes the flight
of his wife phlosophically. and says he
will take no steps to follow or to punish
her. AS 10 his false friend. however. he
has no words sufficient to express his
contempt, and it will be we'll for Cont to
keep out of his way.
