RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.


Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
GAITHERSBURG. Md, June H. 1899.
Special Agents Smith and King of the
Post Office Department at Washington
came to Gaithersburg this afternoon to pur-
sue the investigations instituted some Few
weeks ago by Special Agent Plummer for
the establishing of rural mail delivery in
the vicinity of this town. Mr. r. H. Mills,
postmaster met them at the station and
conducted them to the post office, where
they entered into consultation with. him
and many of the leading business men.
The surrounding territory was canvassed
and it was found that within a radius of
three or less miles of the town there now
exist five post offices paying light salaries
Cloppers Middlebrooke, Washington Grove,
ounce Orchard and Hunting Hillary or
all of which could probably be consolidated.
Among business men the project was free
ly discussed and its institution heartily So
Hcited.
Agent Smith said to The Star correspond
ent that conditions were very favorable for
an immediate institution and trial of the
system, which would necessitate an in
crease of two three clerks In the local
post office. The agents expect to visit
Gaithersburg again to make a final decision
Tuesday of next week.
The Gaithersburg graded school closed to-
day with commencement exercises OF a
pleasing character. At the conclusion OF
the exercises Prof. E. L. Amiss and Miss
Annie NJ. Myers, the teachers, served sea
sonabie refreshments to their pupils Prof.
Amiss who for twenty-five years has been
principal of the school. recently resigned.
and he made formal address, taking leave
of the school. He has accepted the prin-
cipalship of the school at Middlebrooke,
three miles distant from this place.

the baby was baby that Carrie Jones'
folks had sent down from the country. The
three went to Sloatsburg. When he read
about the kidnapping of Baby Clark he be-
came suspicious, and charged his wife and
Carrie Jones with the crime. They broke
down, he said, and confessed. Then he
was confused as to what to do. Carrie
