AFTER HIS FURNITURE
Count Mitkiewicz Brings the Chinese
Minister Into Court
THE GREAT CONCESSION SCHEME
Likely to Be Unfolded Before the End ol
the Present Trial.
WHAT ALL THIS RUMPUs Is ABOUT

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The name of
the Chinese Minister was spread on the
records of the Circuit Court of the District
of Columbis to-day, in connection with one
of the side issues of the great concession
scheme" engineered by Count Eugene de
Mitkiewicz.
A few days ago lot of furniture, where
with the swell Washington residence of the
Count was embellished, was seized by the
Marshal of the District under . writ of re-
plevin secured by Judah Wall, who is the
local agent of R. j. Horner. The latter
gentleman is the New York furniture dealer,
who claims to have sundry unaccounted-for
thousands in the Chinese concession scheme
under the beguilement of Colonel Elliot
F. Shepard's name, and who also alleges
that the Count confdenced him out of 81, 500
worth Of furniture.
That the Counts belongings accord with
his noble title is shown BY the fact that 43
pieces of furniture are represented by this
alleged Indebtedness of 81, 800. With Q de-
sire to regain possession of his furniture
the Count appeared in the Circuit Court to-
day with his lawyers, Colonel Robert
Christy and G. A. Brandenburg, to secure
an order directing the Marshal to release
the goods
Details of Delicate Transaction.
In support of this motion the Count
presented an affidavit detailing the intricate
financial transactions woven about that fur
niture, incidental to which appears the
Chinese Minister and his North River Bank
deposit.
De Miikiewicz sets forth that he pur

the title to the goods until the
account was. settled. Since that
purchase Horner had discounted promis-
sorry note for one Beemis, of Chicago, Tor
So, 900 received from afiant (de Mitklewicz,)
applying 81, 500 of the proceeds toward the
balance due on the furniture, leaving an un-
settled balance of s4, 700 Early in 1892, in
consideration of the assignment to Horner
of the interest of the Chinese Minister in the
claim against the North River Bank of
New York, amounting to SIS, 800, of which
afiant was the owner, Horner paid the
afiant $9, 900 and agreed to prosecute the
claim of the Minister against the bank. Out
of the money obtained from the bank ne
was first to reimburse himself for the s., 900
paid for the claim, and next to apply the
surplus to the necessary amount in pay
ment of the balance due on the furniture.
In tie meantime de Mitkiewicz was to re-
tain the furniture until the affairs of the
bank were settled and the amount realized
on the claim was known.

Death of s. 8. Fem.

Hd n. Stephen S. Fem died at
Black foot December 8, 1892, aged
~ years. He was born in Connec-
ticut and spent his younger days
i'll New York. In his last address
at the pioneer reunion at Mt. Ida
no some four years ago he gave
many "reminiscences of his life in
Michigan and Minnesota. In 1850
he came to California and followed
the mining excitement to Florence.
He was member Of the first terri
toria legislature of Idaho and was
reelected several times. He was
twice elected to congress and in
1865 was appointed register of the
Lew iston land Office. Some years
since his mind became enfeebled
and he was finally placed in the

where he died. He was buried in

spring it is his son Franks inten.

the time during his stay in War
rens since 1887, except when he
was back east He is a very stea-
dy, Woodworking young man, 81
years old, and rather of a timid
and retiring disposition. Wilson
was tall mau, 6 feet, 2 inches in
height, who arrived in Warrens a
year ago. Nothing is known con-
corning him or where he came from.
During last winter he had an occa-
sional row with people in town and
was in the habit of carrying pis-
toll. He had been employed in the
Little Giant but was discharged
for incompetency. The weight of
evidence is conclusive that he had
repeatedly threatened the life of
Schielcr and had even gone so far
as to tell others that he would
shoot him in the back, and put his
"other eye out" Schieler is blind
in his left eye, having had the sight
destroyed by an apple core flung by
a schoolmate in his younger days.
When the body of Wilson was
searched the right hand was found
grasping "billy" in his coat peck
ct. The "billy" was eight inches
long and loaded with lead He
had taken a contract to sink the
Delaware shaft for Moore & Butler
and was on his way there when the
shot was fired. 1t was not tho
nearest way to his destination, but
he probably took it with the inten
ton of having a row with Schieler
Schieler was undoubtedly in feal
of his life when he fired the fata
shot. 1t is not likely that any pre-
