Next Tuesday when the grand Jury re sumes Its labors nftor the vacation that Is now bclnp enjoyed , the members of that body , hould they so desire , may unearth some very racy matters connected wllli the letting of the contract for furnlsliliiR vault ilxturos for the now city hall. It ttin stories now being told arc true some ot the parties conncctcit with the HolTman-Kcoto Pile com pany of Chicago may appear In a most un favorable light. Last Wednesday evening TUB UKB pub lished an Interview had with II. J. Hoffman of the Hoffmnn-Koefo rompany , In which that gentleman openly charged that the Fonton Motahc Manufacturing company and the Ofllco Specialty Manufacturing company were In collusion for the purpose of mnxlng Omaha pay nn exorbitant prlco for her vault una oftlco fittings. In tbo sumo inter view Mr. Hoffman volunteered the Informa tion that ho was too busy to como to Omaha for the purpose ot tolling the fraud Jury what ho know about the matter. YcMorJav City Clerk Orovos unbosomed himself and told some tales out of school. Not only this , but ho told all of tlio circum stances connected with Mr. Hoffman's pro truded bid nnd Its rejection ; the vlst of his npcntto this city nnd howthomaniittomptod to cngapo In the leg pulling business on his own account. Mr. Orovos explained that advertisements inviting bids on the vault ilxturos were In- ortod in Tin : Uri : , the World-Herald nnd the American Architect , Such notice to bidders stated that they were to furnish their own plans and specifications ; the bids were to bo opened on August 18 , 1SU1 , and were to b.ivo boon acoompanlod bv a certi fied check for S" > OJ. On August , ' 10. II. J. Hoffman wrote the following letter , address ing it to the committee on public property and buildings : Will yon kindly Inform us wlit1ier you coiitcinp'ato ' llio Diirchaso of metal furniture ) for vour vaults , nnd If sovhil : aggregate amount of wall sp.ico In Miuiro | foot you will luiliilre to linvo filled , approximately ? On August 13 this letter , the only ono which ever reached Air. Groves or any of the member.of the committee on public property und buildings , was received by Henry OstholT , chairman of the committee" , and sent to him in euro of Mr. Groves. The sumo day the epistle was turned over to Mr. Groves , who was instructed to telegraph this message to Mr. Hoffman at his ofllfo ia the rotunda of the Palmer house , Chicago : I'or the Information you desire wire 1'owlor & Itelnaotll , architects. HUB bulMlng. Continuing Ills statement , Mr. Groves said tnut no persou connected with llio Hoffman company sought any moro information upon the subject until the day before the blUs were opened , when on agent appeared upon the scene and asked to bo allowed to bid. Ho was tolu ho mustcncloso acortiliod choclc for WOl ) . This the man did not do , but , in stead went to the other bidders and told them that if thov would give him ? TiOO ho would not bid. Tbo proposition was re jected , after which ho offered to stay out If bo was paid W > 0. This offer , like the former ono was rejected and the man wont axvay. Ho borrowed ? i > to pay his hotel bill and re turned homo to become an inmate of an in sane asylum. Mr. Groves states that if the Hoffman- Kcefo company did not bid on the vault lix- turos it wns its own tault , as thcro was plenty of time to have son' , a man to Omaba after the house was telegraphed concerning the requirements asked of tlio bidders. The information ashed could not have been sent to the Hoffm.in oooplo by telegraph , as It would have required n man to have gone through each oftloo nnd made specifications utm then telegraphed them to Chicago. Mr. Groves thinks thcro is altogether too much backcapping among some of tbo bidders for city work. They want to wait until the last 'hour ' before 'submitting uny bids , which gives them an excuse for kick"- antr. After that they want all of the bids re jected. By so dome they are enabled to got prices nnd then como in with now bids , taking advantage of the prices that other bidders have previously quoted.
