MAIL-BOX ROBBER.
Mortimer Fox in Omaha, but His
Return Certain.

Policeman NJ. J. O'Sullivan, who was sent
some two months ago to Omaha to attempt
the return of Mortimer Fox, wanted here
for robbing mail-boxes about three months
since, returned to the city yesterday, but
not with Fox.
The var Gus complications of the case,
caused by FOx's knowledge Of the law, the
aid of a shrewd lawyer and court alleged
to De subseryient to political Wire-pulling.
have been published from time to time, be-
ginning with the location Of Fox in Omaha
and ending with his being taken in charge
by the United States Marshal, one phase of
his case being an offense against the Fed
eral Government.
The United States Prosecuting Attorney
few days since informed the authorities
here that in all probability Fox would re-
main in Omaha for the next six months, at
the expiration Of which time he would be
returned to San Francisco, but that it was
useless to incur any further expense by
keeping an officer on the ground So OSul-
liVan was Instructed TO return until the case
in the United States courts against Fox
would permit of his being sent back here.
Chief Crowley in speaking Of the case
said: We experience no end Of difficulty
in cases like that of Fox. 1t Is next to i'm
possible to get our hands upon such crImi-
nalS owing 10 tne dluerence OF opinions con-
corning the correctness Of reQuiSitiOn pa
pers held by different Judges. One of the
best illustrations of this feature OF thief
catching is seen in the case Of John Hyer,
whom we have been trying to send back to
New Jersey for just about the same length
of time we have been trying to get Fox re-
turned here. l have had Hyer remanded to
me time and again. His attorney argued
from 10 O'Clock in the morning until 5
o'clock in the evening" with one hours rest
at noon, concerning the defect in the re-
quisitiOn papers and Hyer was discharged.
We then fixed up papers to answer all that
had been wanting in The Others and arrested
Hyer again. Then his attorney lmmedi-
ately argued the other way. Well, Hyer
has been in court now fourteen times and |
do not know how many more times he will
have to appear, but we will send him back
eventually, just as we will have Fox re-
turned TO us. If we could only keep such
fellows out Of the State /, for one, would be
willingO let them go and not incur any eX-
pense in attempting to bring them back"

HAND-BALL.
Spirited Playing in the Two Lead.
ing Courts.

In the hand-ball courts, yesterday morn
ing and afternoon, there was a chance for
cranks," both old and young, to show
their agility and evince their patriotism by
contests in the Irish national sport. The
morning was devoted by the young devotees
in playing several games of merit and prom
ise.
The afternoon was taken up entirely by
the older and hardened players in making
records aud paying off old scores by making
new ones. The day was fne-could not
have been better, so they all agreed-and
the balls were kept on their flights from
morning 10 night.
Condon's court was especially scene of
strife between amateurs, who even played
a championship game. The contestants
were Leary and Farrell against Mullin and

as their opponents were not in 1t from
the first. Scores 3 to 10, 10 to Z, and to 10.
Not liking the defeat of his favOrite son,
Leary says he will play the winners for a
trophy any time they are willing. He was
given hurrah for his paternal pride,
but the challenge will. in all probability, go
unheeded.
An Irish dinner was the reward of the
next play between Mullin and O'Bren, and
how they did play. The former won and
O'Brien will have to serve the Irish stew to
his victor and nine companions. Scores ::

They then changed partners, pitting
Kelly ana Barry against Manning and

A BRAVE JACK TAR.

RIsked His Life TO Bury the Corpse OF
an Enemy.
After the repuse of one of the furious
assaults at Acre the dead body of a French
officer was left lying in prominent posi-
ion between the walls and the besiegers'
trenches. The body lay there for day or
two and attracted much attention.
1t was spoken about on board the Tigre.
which lay on A ere, and the matter made an
impression difficult to account for on the
simple superstitOus mind Of Kelly. Only
the very smartest men had been sent ashore
to assist in the defense, and Kelly was not
among these.
But one day he begged for and obtained
leave to 60 on shore. AS soon as he en-
tered the town he procured a shovel, a
pick ak ard a coil Of rope, walked straight
to the Tamparts, and, declining all
offers of assistance. lowered himself from
an embraSuTe. The firing ut that time was
fast and furious.
AS Kelly set foot upon the ground and,
shOuldering his tools, walked deliberately
toward the dead body, a dozen French mus
kets were pointed at him. One of the en-
emy's commanders, however, dlvlnlng the
sailors intentions, ordered his men to
shoulder arms.
In an instant both sides. as if by some
common impulse, ceased firing, and Kelly,
the object of GREATNESS attention from
friend and foe, stopped beside the French
mans corpse.
He then cOolly and calmly dug a grave,
put the officer into It, covered him W, and
taking from his pocket a small piece OF
board and bit Of chalk wrote on the board,
Here you lie, old Crop" aud put at the
head OF the grave this rOugh-and-ready me-
mortal. "Old Crop" was no doubt honest
Kelly's rendering of "Crapaud," the French
Tor frog. and a nickname with the sailors
for all "mOunseers."
This plous duty done he shouldered his
implements again, walked back as deHber-
ately as he had come and disappeared with
in the embrasure. The firing recommended
and men thirsted once more for auother's
blood.
Sir Sidney Smith, the very man to delight
in such al adventure, sent for Kelly and
questioned him about 1t. The simple
hearted tar could only wonder that others
could find anything to wonder at in his
simple exploit.
You we're alone, were you not?" asked
Sir Sidney No; was not alone" an

DUEY SEE ON TONG.
Preparations TO Murder a Mem.
Der of the On Yeks.

Officers Gibson and King of the Chinatown
squad made quintuple haul of highbind-
ers yesterday afternoon. Shortly after l
o'clock they noticed two suspi ious looking
M ongOlians going up Clay street toward Du-
pOnt. They followed quickly, but the high
binders espied them and broke into run,
disappearing in the building at the north
west corner of Clay and Dupont streets.
The policemen, however, did not lose sight
Of the pair and followed them into back
room.
AS soon as they commenced 10 search the
two they had followed they heard a regular
rata too made by weapons being dropped
upon the floor by a number Of other Mon
gOlans who were in the room. The hlgl-
binders were ordered not to move from their
tracks, and every one, by the side OIL whom
there was weapon, was arrested
On being taken to the City Prison they
gave their names as Chun N'R, Lin Chuck,
Lin All Jim, Lee jim, Chu Ching. Shortly
afterward Chinaman, who was recognized
as the Secretary of the Duey Lee On Iong,
came to the City Prison TO bail the Mon
gOlians out, but the bail offered would not
be accepted
The search of the highbinders resulted in
a small arsenal being found, large-call0 DER
reviewers, a murderOuS-lOOklng ChineSe
sheath-knife or dagger, and steel par
which looked as though it would crack a
skull as easily as one could crush an egg
shell.
Chief Crowley, when spoken to in regard
to this class of offenders, said he was gong
TO try and stop the murder business III
Chinatown by arrestIng all who could be
found with concealed weapons, and severe
prosecution of the cases.
in view of the fact that the Duey Lee On
Tong and the On Yek Tong nave been
lately INDUCING in their shooting prOcliyl-
ties, with the On Yeks remaining ahead, it
is believed that the Duey Lee Ons were
making their preparations to pop one Of
their enemies during the evening.

ONE BY ONE.
A Whole Family Wiped Ont by the Raw
ages of the Grim Destroyer.

A Whole Family Wiped Ont by the Raw
ages Of the Grim Destroyer.
One OF the saddest family histories inn
aginable marks the calamity which has be-
fallen Alexander II. Sipe of indianapolis,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
His family consisted of his wife and three
children. Two were bright, lovable boys.
One day while playing with a pistol the
weapon was accidentally discharged and the
bullet penetrated the brain of the younger
brother, causing his death. The elder
brother brooded over the affair so intensely
that both his physical and mental condition
failed and he died within month. Not long
afterward a brother of Mrs. Sipe, in whom
she set great store, met with tragic death,
and soon after another brother died.
Mr.. Spe was an old and valued emploYe
of the American Express Company, and the
elimination Of disasters attending his fam
lily caused a slight stroke OF paralysis. The
company thereupOn retired him upon half
pay. He was also pensoneT of the Gov
eminent, having served gallaEtY dur
ing the War Of the Rebellion. Two
years ago, while serving on a jury in the
trial of an important case, he was seized
with @ second stroke OF paralysis, since
which time he has been utterly helpless.
Not long afterward their daughter, n re-
markably beautiful and intelligent little
girl, sickened and died. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Sipe were attached to the Tabernacle Pres
byteran Church, of which Mrs. Sipe was an
exceedingly efficient member. Throughout
she bore up with remarkable fortrude aud
she permitted no one TO wait upOn her hus-
band until her enfeebled condition could
bear up no longer.
A professional nurse was then employed.
This gave her IN opportunity for rest, but,
instead, she broodcd over the troubles
which had befallen her household. and a
few days ago she suddenly ran to her hUs-
bands bedside and began hugging him
about the neck. She was furiouSly and
dangerously Insane. She turned her atten-
ton to the bedclothlng tearing it to shreds,
and with difficulty she was overpOwered and
conveyed TO n private sanitarium. Two
nurses were constantly necessary to prevent
harm to herself or surroundings, and all the
time-day and nght-she continually
mOaned: "All gone, all gone" Recently
she died and now her burial has been held.
Meanwhile, after the failing Of his wife's
health, Mr.. Sipe's condition rapidly grew
worse. and he is now lingering between life
and death with soitenng of the brain, and
only at times is he partially conscious of his
surroundings. Whenever he is aroused he
asks:
" DO you think Julia (meaning his dead
wile) is with the bOys?"
Before the marriage Mrs. SipA was a
member Of the Clifford family of Findlay,
Ohio, relatives of Mrs Sipe.

USING THE CULLS.
Extraction Of Citrus Fruit Oils Fror
Oranges and Lemons.

Extraction OF Citrus fruit OILS From
Oranges and Lemons.
DR.. s. c. Woodbridge of Los Angeles,
who is il the city, has had in operation at
Los Angeles during the past year a manu-
factory which is proving to be an important
adjunct to citrus culture in Southern Calf
fornia-the extraction Of the essential oils
from these fruits.
Wind-storms, frosts and accidents in pick
ing and packing oranges and lemons reduce
to the grade OF culls a large proportion Of
the annual product. For long time there
was no demand for fruit thus damaged. and
for lack Of a market the orchardsts were
accustomed to bury the culls in the ground,
using them as fertile rs.
The establishment OF the citrus essence
ia tory opened an avenue for the sale Of
inferior fruit and prices, which, though
small, paid better than the burial process.
The plant Of the factory has a daily con-
sumption OF 5000 oranges or lemons. The
latter are used in greater quantities than
the former, lemon oil being in greater de-
mand by druggists and gr0cers than any
other essence.
The essential oil is obtained by process
Of dstiilation, and is taken only from the
Tind. DR.. Woodbridge IS now securing
pressing machinery, which viii give better
and quicker results, and larger daily con-
sumption Of fruit than by the process now in
vogue Will also result.

John Weston's Painful Experience With
Japanese Knife.

John Weston's Painful Experience With
Japanese Knife.
John Weston, residing at 334 Tenth
street, had a somewhat painful experience
yesterday morning with a curio. The ar
ticle was in the shape Of very sharp and
pointed japanese sheath-knife, or dagger,
which had just been presented to him by a
friend named j. Langotatf, at his home Ala
Minna street, and the two were walking
along Fifth street.
Stopping in front of a fruit stand at num-
Der lbs Of that street they were purchasing
some oranges, when one was knocked off
the stand ace dentally Weston, leaning
over or stopping quickly to pick 1t up, gave
vent to a cry of pain and clutched his thigh.
1t was then seen that he was cut, and the
blood poured forth rapidly.
Weston was at once taken to the Recev-
ing Hospital where an examination showed
that the keen dagger had penetrated the leg
to a depth of about five inches, seyeTing one
Of the large arteries. The wound was dressed.
but Weston was so weakened by the loss Of
blood that it was thought best to place him
In a cot in the hospital.
