AMUSES NEWPORT.
Coachman Writes Ardent Love Let
ters to Mrs. Oelrichs.

Newport. R. l., July An anus
ing story of the love of a coachman
for Mrs. Herman Oelriehs, which has
resulted in the discharge of the
coachman after twenty years EN-,
ployment in the service of Mrs. ]. r.
Buck. has just come to light and is
subject of discussion on all sides.
The coachman is George H. WEIGH,
who has been a kind of leader in the
society of his own kind, a yellow plush
come to life, and just as ambitious.
1t appears that Welch has been writ
ing ardent love letters to the beaNtN
full widow of Herman Oelrichs. These
letters were anonymous, but they
gave Mrs. Qelrichs directions as to
happened to be interested in the
Mrs. Oelrichs paid little attention
to the letters for some time. but her
anonymous admirer was so persistent
that she decided to set a trap for him.
Other women might have turned the
matter over to the police for investi-
CATION Not so with Mrs. Oelrichs.
She kept the matter a secret, not
even confiding it to her friends.
A Social Strategist.
Mrs. Oelrichs is one of the cleverest
members of the cottage settlement. She
was at one time member of the social
strategy board with Mrs. Oliver H. P.
Belmont and Mrs. StuyVeSant Fish, and
it is no secret that she and few 9TH
crs dominate the society of Newport
at present. Moreover, Mrs. Oelrichs is
generally conceded to be the best gown
ed and one of the handsomest women
both in Newport and New York. She IS
noted for her sumptuous entertain
ments and has command of many mil
lions of dollars.
Mrs Oelrchs laid her own plans to
learn the identity of her admirer. 1t $
said she replied to one of Welch's let
asking for his name and address. The
coach1nan bit Mrs. Oelrichs, it is
related, nearly laughed herself sick,
when she learned it was Welch. whom
she knew as the extremely proper and
runctilious coachman of her friend,
Mrs Busk. Moreover, she was aware
that WEIGH had a wife, who possessed
an abiding faith in her husband. Mrs.
Oelrichs went to Mrs. Busk and told
her all the circumstances, and asked
that if any action was taken, some 9TH
er reason be assigned for it.
WEIGH Sails for England
Mrs Busk and her charming daugh-
ter discussed the situation after Mrs.
Oelrich's departure They disliked 70

had grown to be a fixture in the house

ties that Mrs. Busk was so fond of
giving, and it was Welch who was the
cotillon leader and general manager ct
these affairs. The other servants
looked up to him. He was good
coachman WEIGH had to go. And be-
fore the friends of Welch knew any
thing about the affair WEIGH was on
his way to New York with his wife.
and on Tuesday they sailed for Eng

for her charity in keeping his disgrace

ATTORNEY JAILED
Says W. L. Kelly Lied To Him To

Judge Donovan, so that he could go
to Ann Arbor TO try a case, appeared
In court, Thursday morning to ar

stated to the Judge he intended do
ing, and when he appeared in court
he was given a calling" that made
him turn pale.
You lied to me, didn't your Judge
Donovan reared. II have no use for a
man who Hes to me. You were saved
from arrest yesterday so that you
could 60 to Ann Arbor to try case,
