Architect DiCkhaut Has Completed The
Plans For The RemodeIing
of Court House.
WILL MAKE NUMEROUS CHANGES.
When The Building is Completed IL will be
Modern in Every Respect. - Equip
ment to Last Half Century.

Architect Charles A. Dickhaut this
morning completed the plans for the
remode1ing of the Kenosha count court
house and the plans will be submitted
to the committee having the work in
charge at it's meeting on Saturday.
The plans provide for a complete
change in both the interior and exteri-
or of the building and when the i'm
provements have been completed the
building will be one of the best
equipped court houses in Southern
Wisconsin.
The repairs will begin on the
ground. In the first place the excava-
yation of the building will be complet-
ed to uniform depth of seven feet.
The rooms of the basement will be
finished with cement and in one end a
corridor will be built and connecting
with it will be modern toilet rooms
and 1avatories for the use of men hav-
ing business in the court house. In
the basement will also be installed a
modern hot water heating plant to
heat the entire building.
The first floor will be completely
changed. Additions will be built to
two sides in order to make room for
the construction of new fire proof
vaults for the use of the county Off
Gals. The first two rooms on~the first
floor will be fitted up for the use of the
county Judge. One of the large rooms
will be reserved as court room, while a
smaller room ad joining will be used as
consultation and reception room. Next
to the court room will be the office of
the Clerk of circuit court and follow
ing will come the offices of the Register
of Deeds and the County Clerk. Every
room on the first floor will be equipped
with large and commodious fire proof
vaults. These vaults will be models in
their way of construction, and will be
sufficiently large to afford a place for
the keeping of records for half cen
fury to come.
The vaults are to be built on the
latest approved plans. They will be
constructed of hollow fire proof tile
and fire proof roofs. The tops of the
vault will be of T iron, over which
will be built a series of concrete and
tilingo making them absolutely fire
proof. The floors of the vaults and of
the first floor corridors will also be of
tile. The vault for the use of the
Register of Deeds will be a room
twelve by nineteen feet. On the first
floor of the building will also be pro-
vided ladies' toilet room.
In order to have room for the i'm
provements on the first floor, additions
will be built of pressed brick and cut
stone to correspond with the rest of
the building. Another ornament to
the exterior of the building will be the
ba1ustrade and cornice oe cut stone
which will extend all around the build
ing. The building will have an
entirely new set of pipes for gas as
well as wires for electric light and a
new set of fixtures. All the rooms will
be redecorated and the woodwork will
be revarnished.
The cost of all the improvements
planned will not exceed the seven
thousand dollars which has been ap-
propriated by the county board to com
plete the work.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Canaan Contractor WEEDS Nurse Who
sued Him for Breach of Promise.

Canaan Sept. ia romantic mar
riage has just been announced, having
been consummated in st. Joseph's Il
c. church yesterday, in which Frank
Mccarthy, a we'll to-do contractor up
wards of fifty years Of age, and Henera
Britt, aged thirty-two, well known
nurse, were groom and bride.
About fifteen years ago Mccarthy,
who had been very attentive to Miss
Britt, transferred his affections to Miss
McGraw, school teacher Of Sheffield,
Mass, whom he married. Miss Britt
was prostrated when she learned of
her lovers marriage and brought suit
against him and recovered $500 dam
ages. Mrs. Mccarthy died in January,
1899.
1t was not known here that McCar-
thy had renewed his affections of years
ago and the announcement of the mar
riage came as a great surprise. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father Bannon Of Lakeville and apart
from two witnesses the affair was con-
Quoted very quietly and the newly
welded couple at once returned to the
Mccarthy home. The groom is con-
tractor at Barnes Bros lime kiln.

STRIK ERS HOLD MEETINGS.
Strike Order Received with Enthusiasm
and In Dead silence.
Charge for Powder.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept 13.-Nearly
all the local assemblies of United Mine
Workers held meetings tonight to take
action on President Mitchells strike Or
der. The statement issued by Mr..
Mitchell was read by the secretaries
In some of the assemblies the reading
was received with much enthusiasm,
while in others there was dead silence
The strike order has now been official
ly promulgated In the Wyoming dis
trict and every member of the United
Mine Workers organization will be ex-
pected TO quit work on Saturday night
at the latest. 1t is admitted by the op-
orators that all the miners who are af-
filiated with the union will quit work
but how many men outside of the or
ganiza ton will lay down their tools is
eli guess work, as yet. The union
miners say all hands will quit when the
time comes. The operatives say this
will not be the case as they have
pledges from many men that they will
continue at work if it is concluded to
keep the collieries IN operation.

More Victims Added to the Account OF
the West Indian Storm.

New Orleans, Sept. 13.-The States
to-day received a telegram from Hon
John H. Poe, member of the state board
of education and residing at Lake
Charles, stating that eighty-five lives
were lost on the Gulf and Interstate
train which left Beaumont early Satur-
day morning from Bolivar Pont after
having made connections with the
Southern Pacific train which left this
city Friday night. Mr.. Poe was one
of the passengers on this train and to-
gether with few others he sought
safety in the lighthouse at Bolivar
Point and was saved.
The train reached Bolivar about noon
and all preparations were made to run
the train on the ferryboat preparatory
to crossing the bay. But the wind
blew so swiftly that the ferry could not
make landing and the conductor of
the train, after allowing it to stand on
the tracks for a few minutes started to
back 1t toward Beaumont. The wind
increased so rapidly, coming in from
the open sea, that soon the water had
reached leved with the bottom Of the
seats within the cars 1t was then that
some of the passengers sought safety
in the nearby lighthouse. But Mr.. Poe
states in his telegram that in spite of
all efforts eighty-five passengers were
blown away or drowned. The train
was entirely wrecked. Doubtless some
of the killed were from New Orleans,
as the train made direct connections
with the Southern Pacific train which
left here Friday night and there were
a large number of New Orleans pass
engers aboard and 1t is known that at
least some of these were for Galveston.
Those who were saved had to spend
over fifty hours in the dismal light
house on almost no rations

Breaking the Professional Score.

Tuxedo Park, N. Y, Sept. 13.-The in
vitatlon golf tournament which began
yesterday morning on the links of the
Tuxedo golf club was continued to-day
made At one time 1t looked as if the
professional score of IA for the eighteen
4 hole course would be beaten but "a was
the best made to-day e. M. Byers of
Yale was the player who came so near
the mark, and by so doing he establish
ed new amateur record for these
links.
In the match play for the Tuxedo
cup Champion Walter j. Travis still
holds the premier position, but in his
match with A. Dewitt Cochrane of
Ardsley which he won in the last hole,
in to by / up, he came very close to
defeat
In the afternoon Travis again proved
his superiority by winning from j. A.
Stillman, jr., of Newport by up and 3
to play T. Il. Bohlen of Philadelphia
and Oliver Perrin of Baltimore, who
has been playing clever golf at Watch
Hill, r. l., during the summer, put up
very interesting game. Bohlen was
9 down on the fourteenth hole but
played on with splendid nerve and deft
execution. He won the next three holes
mostly through good putting. He was
one up playing for the eighteenth hole

name had not been included, which pro-
voked vigorous discussion on the
part Of the judges friends who insist
ed that either M. A. Sexton or j. II.
Clark's S name be taken off, and Judge
Walsh's added to the list and finally
Judge Walsh was substituted for Clark.
The delegates were uninstructed.
