oPPENHEIM'S CASE.
Argument ON a Motion to Dismiss is
Postponed.


Postponed.
NJ. Oppenheim was examined in the
Police Court yesterday on charge of
threats against life preferred by John
Longabauer, the father-in-law of the de-
PENDANT. Oppenheim's wife, who is at
present suing for a divorce, a Mrs. Dono-
van and several other witnesses testified
to the effect that Oppenheim had threat
ened the life of his wife and her father,
because they would not agree to separa-
ton between man and wife unless Open
helm paid a certain sum as alimony
After the prosecution had closed their
case, Hiram johnson, attorney for the
defendant, moved for a dismissal on the
grounds that the complaint was sworn to
by Longabauer, who had heard none of
Oppenheim' threats, but based his charges
on hearsay.
Argument on the question was post
poned until Thursday.

SERIOUS CHARGE.
a Folsom Justice Charged With Pick
ing Mans Pocket.
John Kelly Tells Il Startling story
A Warrant Issued for ellis
Honor's', Arrest.

HE is a Justice of the Peace up in
Folsom, and he robbed me of SS0-toolz
it out of my pocket.",f
This is portion of the startling story
John Kelly, of Folsom, told to Deputy
District Attorney Buckley yesterday.
Kelly wanted warrant issued for the
arrest of Thomas Lopejoy on a charge of
grand larceny, and after hearing the
story Mr.. Buckley took him over to Jus
tice Starts court, where the warrant was
placed in the hands of Deputy Constable
Alter. and that official left for Folsom inn
nediately. He VIII probably return
with Lovejoy to-day.
KELLY's STORY.
The story told by Kelly was somewhat
sensational:
He says that Lovejoy is at present a
Justice ofthe Peace, having been elected
In Mississippi Township by n small ma
known to the people who elected him
otherwise they would never have
dreamed of voting for him. But Kelly
says lie knows him, and so do others
and they know that, he is an ex-conyict
and u reformed opium 1iend. He was the
only candidate for Justice of the Peace
for Mississippi Township, and the people
But the particular complaint Kelly has
to make is that he is now $50 poorer by
reason of his acquaintance with Loveiov.
The robbery, he alleges, occurred a couple
of days ago.
BORROWED FOUR BITS.
Kelly says he was tired. and, going to
his room, in Folsom, took off his boots
and outer clothing and laid down on his
bed for a nap. He had not been there
long, he says, when Loveioy came to the
room and said he wanted 10 borrow four
bits.
Kelly pointed to where his pantaloons
lay upon a chair, and told the Justice he
would find a four-bit piece in one of the
pockets.
Loyejoy did as he was directed. and.
fumbling with Kelly's clothing for a few
minutes, exhibited fifty cents, thanked
Kelly for it, and left.
TOOK Ioo MUCH.
Kelly says he inspected his pantaloons
some time after the Justice had left, and
discovered that not only had ''his Honor
taken the four-bit piece, but $50 in gold
besides.
Kelly gave chase Immediately.
lie oyerhauled Loyejoy in saloon later
on, he said, and accused him of robbinr
him. The Justice was surprised. He
not only denied that he had robbed Kelly.
but declared that he had never even been
in his room to borrow four bits, as Kelly
alleged. Kelly says, however, that he
has many witnesses who will testify that
Loyejoy exhibited $50 in gold in another
saloon shortly after the alleged robbery.

THE MEETING WITH MIrKIEWIECz.
1t was while was attending to the
exhibition of the Universal Refrigerat-
ing Company in January, in the city OF
Pittsburg, that I was introduced to
Count Eugene de Mitkiewiecz. Frank
A. Smith, the inventor Of the Universal
Refrigerating Company system, desired
me TO take up the concessions
which he claimed his friend the
Count could have for the asking from
the Chinese Government, and which
consisted Of contracts 20 build railroads,
establish banks, telephone lines, and
postal service. He claimed II was the
egOtistical conduct Of Wharton Barker
which had prevented the contamination
OF this enterprise long before. The
Count came over here unsolicited by me
ana told me his story. I told him was
poor, and had no money TO invest, and
didn't see how 1 could be Of service.
He returned again In the course Of a
week or so and Smith and himself agreed
that IL / would investigate the enter
prise they would pay all my expenses
and give me share amounting TO
s. 600, 600 worth OF stock in the COM
pany.
1 spoke to a lawyer, a friend Of mine
here In the city, and accompanied by
him started East TO secure an interpret
er with ability to translate Mandarin
Chinese into English-an interpreter OF
whom the Count had no acknowledged
that we might satisfy ourselves OF the
truth of the Counts statements that the
Chinese officials, both in this country
and in China, were his coadjutors and
his friends in this enterprise. After
prolonged search, Ia which ] visited all
the colleges Of note east Of the Alleghe-
nv mountains. l found an interpreter
whO made a translation of the docu-
ments in the Counts possession, and
acted as interpreter in conversation with
the different attaches Of the Chinese
legation at Washington, who corro6or-
ated all the Counts statements. After
considerable work, I finally reached Col
onel Elliott +. Sheppard, of New York,
who personally informed me that II ex-
Senator Blair was received as minister
of the United States in China he would
take part In the enterprise Of securing
said concessions from the Chinese Gov
eminent. l introduced the Count to the
Colonel. The Count had several inter-
views with him, and later he went West
10 meet him.

ofInterest to Mothers.

The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam,
of McKeesport, Pennsylvania. in the
treatment of diarrhoea in her children
will undoubtedly be of interest to many
mothers. She says: 81 spent several
weeks in Johnstown, Pa, after the great
food, on account of my husband being
employed there. We had several chill
dren with us, two of whom took the
diarrhoea very badly. / got some Of

Miss Lester was again visiting. ne
spent money freely, although IL was
always a mystery where the money
came from. The Testers still opposed
the match. but Miss Lester was deter
mined girl. and in the fall OF 1874 sne
married the Count. The wedding tooA
nlace in Grace Church and was Dig
AFFAIR. although all of the brides reia-
tives STAYED away. When the Count
and his wife were heard from again
they were at Northampton ana nau
run short of funds. They were next
heard from in Italy, where the
Count was trying his hand, 1t was
said. at games of chance and leaving
debts everywhere. The Count and MS
wife separated in 1880, and five years
later Mrs. Mitkiewicz died, reconcilla-
ton having taken place in the mean
time. After her death the Lester ram
ily got possession of the Mitkiewlcz
children on the ground that the Ooune
was not a proper person to care lor
them.
About 1880 the Count was in the coal
business in Baltimore and failed after
living luxuriously for more than year
on his creditors. An effort was MADE
to send him to prison on charge OF o.
tanning money under false pretenses,
lint II did not succeed. The Count es-
capped on plea of ignorance OF business
rules.
On September 4. 1887, Count Mitkie-
wicz arrived in Washington from trip
to Pekin, China. where, through the
Prime Minister, as the Count said, he
had obtained concessions from the gov
ernment which would enable him to
carry on a general banking business In
China, and to establish and operate rail-
road and telephone systems besides.
The capital was to be $4,000, goo, half
of which had been subscribed in the
Flowery Kingdom, the Count said.
Wharton Barker, Philadelphia capital
list. was said TO be one of Mitkiewicz's
principal hackers. All that was
necessary for the completion OF
the concessions was the signature Of
the Chinese Minister at Washington,
Count Mitkiewicz said. This, however,
was never obtained, and in few weeks
the whole thing dropped out of sight.
Only this summer Interpreter Ho of the
Chinese Legation gave few inside
facts about the history of the alleged
concession. He said that when Count
Mitkiewicz visited Pekin he did sue
coed in getting the Premier, Ii Hung
Chang, interested in his plans. Chang
gave his consent, but the Board OF Cen
sors OF the empire sat down hard on the
whole scheme, AMI effectually squelched
it. In spite of this Count Mitkiewicz
returned to America to announce that
the concessions had been obtained.

Unexplained.

OF the Pittsburg Police-Some Things Arc
Unexplained.
PITTsBURG, August 24.-The Chron-
icle-Telegrdph this evening says:
"Shoe Box" Miller has told his story
of his career in form which occupies
many columns in to-day's Dispatch.
1t is general plea that he had no
connection with the robbery of Mr.. and
Mrs. Connors at Catfish in 1881, nor
with the sale of the stolen property sub
seQuently.
While it is entirely to the credit of
Miller that he should, even at this late
day, endeavor to clear his reputation
from the stain which Is upon it, it is
also fair to call attention to facts which
are hard to explain.
For instance, Miller says he had "sev-
eral 1000 bills" Where did he get
them, and how does he explain the evil
dence of Teller Smith, of The Fifth Ma
tional Bank, who says the several 81, 900
bills for which Miller asked change at
the bank were the same as those given
to South, the broker, in exchange for
the check of George 1. Whitney, and
which were given to South by Archie
Montague, who is admitted by AL con-
cerned, including Miller, to be one of
the robbers.
The police do not believe in Miller's
innocence, and their comments upon his
story are very pointed.
They ask why it was that the story of
the shooting OF Dunn in Cleveland by
Miller, at the time OF the robbery,
which is the basis of the alibi, was not
brought forward at the trial in Clarion
county.
The facts were as easily obtained then
as now and would have upset the whole
case.
It is thought by the police that Archie
Montague was not shot as stated. He is
said TO be in the penitentiary at Colum-
bus. 1t is also said that the man who
was shot in the house in Cleveland,
where Miller shot Dunn, was not Fos-
Ter, but Thomas Rowland, 3 weIl-known
crook and gambler, who was admittedly
an associate Of Miller, and to whom Mil
Ter sent 500 after be left Cleveland.
II Miller was straight man." the
police would like to know how he be-
