His Declinatiop Read Before the

The question of selecting superintendent

Later one of the commissioners said that
the superintendent action was no special
surprise to the board. The commissioner
said he thought Mr.. Goss understood that
the board would not re-elect him. 1t was
quietly announced last night that no Indi-
ana man would be selected to succeed Su-
perintendent Goss. though the names of sew
eral Indiana men have been suggested. The
board realizes that should 1T select man
from this State ne would probably come
from one of the colleges and would nat
urally be intensely interested in the tight
between the State and non-State schools.
The board wants man who will be abso-
lutely free from prejudice either way i'll

A PENSION FRAUD
Mrs. Louise Lehrmann and John Rich
ards Arrested for. Defrauding the
United States Government.
swoRE FALSELY FOR SICK SON

Mrs. Lenrmann Has Been Drawing PEN
zion for Four Years Under the Name of
MRS. Richards Son is Arrested for Per-
/ jury-Parties are Well, Known IN the
Western Part of the County and the Case
Causes Sensation. .u3~.
Mrs. Louisa Lehrmann, of Silver
Lake, was examined before Court
Commissioner Bloodgood, of Mnwau-
kee, yesterday, on a charge of securing
money unlawfu11y by drawing wild
owls pension after her remarriage.
Her adopted son, John Richards, was
also in court, charged with perjury,
his alleged offence consisting in taking
oath, in January, 1897, that Mrs. Lehr-
mann was still a widow and depend
ent. After the examination was part
1y completed an adjournment was
taken until Wednesday, Jan. 8, for
further testimony. Mrs. Lehrmann
and Mr.. Richards were released on
Joseph Lehrmann signing the bond.
The voucher under which the charges
were preferred was signed before No
tary Public Max w. Heck, of Racine,
under date of Jan. 4, 1897. 1t was
signed by Mrs. Lehrmann, John Rich
ards and Katie Barr, the latter two
being witnesses. Miss Barr has de-
posed that when she signed the vouch-
er she believed that Mrs. Lehrmann
was still the widow of John Richards,
a member of Company d, Forty-ninth
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and
that she was not informed of her mar
riage to Joseph Lehrmann until subse-
quent1y. John Richards, the other
witness, has signed by his mark
deposition to the effect that he knew
of Mrs. Lehrmann's second marriage
when he signed the voucher. He says
in his deposition that he was sworn by
Notary Heck.
Mr.. Richards, who was present at the
examination yesterday, corrected the
statement in the deposition regarding
the oath. He said that after thinking
the matter over he was convinced that
there was no oath administered, and
that he simply signed the voucher.
Mrs. Lehrmann's testimony was that
she was up to Oct. 10, 1895, the widow
of John Richards, and that she secured
a widows pension under the act of
1890, on Oct 10, 1891. She was married
to Joseph Lehrmann at New Munster,
Oct. 10, 1895.
81 was not sworn when [ signed my
name to the voucher in January, 1897,
she said. II signed my name as
Louisa Richards. I drew the money,
I knew at the time 1 was getting the
money un1awfu11y, but l needed it for
my son, who was sick".
Mrs. Lehrmann was accompanied by
her husband, who signed her bond to
appear Wednesday. At that time
Notary Heck will be called as witness
to settle the question whether the oath
was administered when the voucher
was signed. His testimony, Court
Commissioner B1oodgood said, was inn
portant in respect to the perjury charge
Mrs. Lehrmann admits that she drew
her widows pension un1awfu11y from
the date of her marriage upt to January,
1897

A MIDNIGHT MASS.
New Year Welcomed With Religious OBJ
servance at st. James Church.

One of the most noteworthy facts in
connection with the celebration of the
new year in Kenosha was the ce1ebra-
ton of a midnight mass at st. James
church early New Years morning. IT
was the first time that midnight
mass had ever been celebrated in any
of the churches of Kenosha, and as the
permission to hold such a service is
only given once in a hundred years it
is hardly possible that any of the resi-
dents of the city will ever be permit
ted to attend another such service
The church was filed to the doors al
most every communicate of the chuck
being in attendance. The solemn high
mass was celebrated by Father Roche,
assisted by Father Smith. The music
was furnished by the church choir and
was exceptionally fine.
At St. Georges church special serv-
ices were held in honor of the birth of
the new year at 7:3o in the evening but
no midnight mass was served.

EFFECT OF THE LAW.
Disastrous Results of True Marriage Law
shown by Report of Register Torrey.

Register of Deeds P. C. Torrey has
just completed his annual report for
the year 1899 aud it is chock full of
interesting information. The report
is especially interesting in the portion
which deals with marriages during the
year and it shows that the result of
the True marriage law on this county
has been disastrous. In 1893 there
were 623 marriages recorded in the
city, while under the the new dispersal
ton the year has resulted in only $40
marriages being placed on record.
Besides this reduction an examination
of the report shows that a large pro-
portion of these unions were made be-
fore the law went into effect last May.
It shows that the glory of Kenosha as
a marriage center is thing of the
past
Other items in the report show that
during 1899 there were 231 deaths
over 1o6 in 1898 and POI births over 252
in 1898.

FIRE IN A SCHOOL.
Match Thrown Into ventilator Causes a
Dangerous Blaze at st. George School.

What promised to be rather serious
fire occurred last Sunday shortly be-
fore noon at the St. George school.
Several men had been in the room and
one of them in lighting a cigar had
thrown lighted match into one of
the venti1ators. This was full of waste
paper which was ignited by the match
and in a moment it appeared as if the
building was in serious danger. After
attempts had been made
to put the fire out an alarm was sent
in and the department responded
promptly and soon extinguished the
flames with the chemical engine. The
loss will be exceedingly small as the
damage was almost entirely caused by
smoke. Any damage is completely
covered by insurance.
