The peisoner gave the name of Conrad J. Mooney, and said he lived at No. 217 Warren street, Brooklyn. He was re- manded until this morning, Mooney told the police that he formed oue of a gang of men who had determined to burn every yeesel entering port carrying 1.the British flag.

The steamer was only slightly damaged. A New York despatch says: Thomas J. Mooney, who threw a bottle containing ex- plosives on the deck of the steamship eaneen yesterday afternoon, was arraigned in the Jefferson Market Police Court. In his trunk were found two pieces of gaspipe, packages of powder, sulphur, phosphorus, crystals of chloride of potassium, several glass tubes and SOIX10 'blasting caps for Atlas powder, besides clothes and, note books. Several yards of fuse and a box of draughtsmen's instrnments completed the het. The pipes were of heavy brass, of un- equal lengths, and at about•one-third of the distance from one end of each was a cook, which the pollee did not attempt to turn to -day. The shank of the cock was made sof soft metal thati wield be eaten away by tuna and placed in a small chamber and thus explode the contents of the larger. Capt, Gastien, viho made the examination, remarked: "Mooney was ready to blow up a fleet." Be was remanded until this afternoon. Ilooney'S room underwent a careful examination and an examination was also made of the bath -room in which Mooney's landlady said he spent much of his, time. The paint and tin were eaten by chemicals and the place had , undoubtedly been used as a laboratory. The landlady told the officers that her tenant engaged the room last Christmas. He always paid his rent promptly, He mid he was a collector for the Irish T Forld. Mooney was brought into court again at 2.30 p.mm. Twenty et of water proof fuse taken from Mooney's trunk, was laid upon the desk in the court, together With many glass tubes, The detectives said these were part of Mooney's infernal mechanism. Then Mooney said he was an inventor, that these were part of his experimental materials, that he is now engaged on a torpedo boat and that he had received letters from the Secretary of the Navy about the torpedo boat. He had, he said, also been in cam- inueication with the Secretary of the French navy. He had not yet secured a patent and did not want his business exposed. There were also produced in eourt a pack- age of acid, a box of 100 triple -force 25 calibre blasting caps, a package of sugar and a package of chkrate of potash and a brass faucet machine for filling bombe with acid. "Por every blow the English give the American flag I will give another as long as I live,' said Mooney. He was locked up to await examination as to his sanity.

Capitalists who were holding back are investing money and a general feeling prevails that Hawaii has a stable Government, onder which just Jaws will be enacted. King Ralakana signed the constitution on July 10th. This deprived him of all power but that of drawing his salaries and granting pardons. SAN Ftaricisco, Aug. 6.—William IIL Gib- son, the depoeed Prime Minister of the Hawaiian Kingdom, who was tried and acquitted of the charge •of robbing the publio teeasury, and who escaped from the island after WS acquittal, arrived here to -day on board the brig J. G. Spreekels. The Spreckels brought detailed informa- tion with regard 80 the new constitution which King Kalskaua was ,compelled to sign. Among the chief clauses of the new con- stitution are the following; All men may freely speak, write and publish their senti- inents on all subjeots, being responsible for abuse of that right, and no law shall be enacted to restrain the liberty of open speech or of the press. No subsidy or tax of any description shall be levied unless by consent of the Legislature, except when between sessions, the emergencies of war, invasion, rebellion, pestilence, or other public disaster shall arise, and then not without the concurrence of the entire Cabinet and of a majority of the whole Privy Council; and the Minister of Finance shall render a declared account of such ex- penditure to the Legislature, The King is commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and of all other military forces of the kingdom by sea and land, but he shall never proclaim war without the consent of the Legislature, and no military nor naval force shall be organized except by the authority of the Legislature. The King cannot be sued nor held to account in an court or tribunal of the kingdom. The Cabinet shall consist of a Minister of Foreign Affairs, a Minister of Finance, and an Attorney -General, and they shall be His Majesty's special advisers in the executive °Zaire of the kingdom, and they shall be ex -officio members of his council that shall be appointed and com- bined by the Zing and shall be removed by him upon a vote of want of confidence passed by a majority of all the elective niembers of the Legislature, or upon eon- viction of felony, and no removal shall have effect unless it is countersigned bya member of the Cabinet, who, by that sig- nature, makes hiniself responsible. The legislative power of the kingdom is vested in the King and Legislature which shall consist of nobles and representatives sitting together. The remainder of the Constitu- tion which contains 82 sections, provides for the organization of the Legislative Assembly. Gibson said to a representative of the Associated Press this morning concerning the affairs at Hawaii: " The new constie tution has many admirable features about it, still it is what might be termed a shot- gun or rifle constitution. The King only proclaimed it through fear of his life. Whether it will last or not I tannot, of course, tell. Those people," said Mr. Gib- son, "undoubtedly meant to take my life, ut the new Cabinet evidently thoughtthat knew be a dangerous expedient, as they e native party, and my death . • . might have occasioned very serious trouble." In fur- ther conversation Mr. Gibson said the United States Government had designs in the Pacific which would probably be re- vealed shortly. He said this Government won'. • e the course affairs had taken would not give an ex - nation beyon • teraark. BISMARCK ON WATCII. any Beady to Inte e as Soon as Dolland's King Ex es.

When the aecueed reaelied the Central Office he had to be carried into the iappector's office. Bidwell's sister and a female friend accom- panied him to police headquarters. Later 13i4evell was taken before Justice Duffy, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, and there beipg no affidavit or complaint against him, was arraigned a a "suspicious character." In giving ari account of hitn- self, in response to the charge, he told the juetice that he was now a reformed man. He had changed his nwee of life, and the remainder of his days would be spent in an endeavor to redeem the wrongs he had done to society and to his family. It was painful for him to recall his misdeeds, but when compelled to do so he felt it but just to say that in regard to the forgeries upon the Bank of Engleed, the institution had reoovered the e5,000,000 which he had got kern it, and he had served fourteen years M Dartmoor Prison, five years of the time being passed in a locked cell, shut out from the sunlight or the sight of the earth. For five years he was shut pp in a dark cell because his keepers professed to believe that he was shamming sickness. It had taken Great Britain eight years to find out that he was sick. In prison he had learned to read and writeFrench, German, Italian, Latin and Greek. )3e had passed away some of his time in writing verses. His wife had been true tohim all this time. She was a noble woman and he now puts himself wholly under her care and guid- ance. He had a son who was now wealthy and who had the largest house in the State where he lived, Bidwell did not care to name the State. Justice Duffy asked the detectives if they had any charge to make. They said they had none, and the justice, saying that he was always ready to help any man to re- form, discharged Bidwell, who departed a free man. Bidwell was taken by his wife, his sister and his son to their home in Brooklyn. He is partially paralyze d below the waist, and it is said that his mind has been weak- ened by the effects of illness and confine- ment. He told Inspector Byrnes that he was born in Medina, N. Y., and first came to New York in 1871, soon after which he went to England and committed his extensive forgeries. His brother is still serving a life sentence in an English prison. NINE PEOPLE MURDERED. A Whole Family Knocked on the Head and their Throats Cat. A Macon, Ga., despatch says: Informa- tion has just been received of a most horri- ble tragedy occurring on Saturday night about twelve miles from here, in this , county. The report says that Capt. Rich- ard Woolfolk, a well-known farmer, his , wife, four children and Mrs. West, an mint of Mrs. Woolfolk, were found murdered in the honse this morning, avi b knocked in the head and their throats cut. Tom G. , Woolfolk, son of Capt. Woolfolk by his first wife, is suspected of the crime and was arrested. The deputy sheriff and coroner went out to the scene of the murder. Later and fuller details from the scene of the Woolfolk tragedydevelop the fact that there were nine victims instead of seven, as reported—Capt. and Mrs. IL F. Wool - folk, the six children, ranging in ages from 16 months to 20 years, and Mrs. West, an aunt of Mrs. Woolfolk, aged 60. The coroner's jury found a verdict of murder against Thos. G. Woolfolk, son of the cap- tain's first wife, who was sleeping in the house. The evidence before the jury was circumstantial throughout. The crowd continued to grow in • size and the indications pointed strongly to lynching. Sheriff Westcott told the jury to withhold their verdict until he could get the prisoner away, and then making all arrangements, slipped Woolfolk out of the i house n a hurry and drove away so rapidly that the crowd had hardly time to tealize the departure. The prisoner was brought to Macon and safely lodged in jail, where he talked of the crime coolly, but made no admissions. His motive is said to be the desire to gain possession of his father's property for himself and two sisters, children of the first wife. Blecoe, Ga,, Aug. — The funeral of the nine victims of Thos. G. Woolfolk took place here to -day at Rose's Hill Cemetery in the presence of 3,000 people. The ser- vices were brought to an abrupt terrains. - tion by the arrival of Mrs, Edward's, sister Of the murderer, who was in Athens, Ga., at the time of the commission of the crime. Heartrending scenes followed. Woolfolk was carried to Atlanta early this morning for safe keeping. He continues to deny higuilte Bather Fancied the Jail. • Apropos of going to jail a suggestive story is told of a 1069.1 contractor who hired a inati to work oh the trenches the othet day.

About 1,000 people had gathered to watoh the launch. The docks Were huied, veeeele were crowded and every available scum and lumber pile vies black with Spectators. 'Directly opposite the cradled vessel was the large opal clock of the Northwestern Fuel Company. Upon the roof ef this coal shed a large number of people had assembled. As the Wolf struck the water her port bilge was buried in the black water of the slip. Then she recovered and relied heavily to port. The water displecee, by her hull rose like a tidal wave and swept over the coal dock and up towards its roof, causing a cloud of creel dust and spray. The supports oe the deelts were insofficient to stand the force of the wave, and about forty feet of the shed went down with its living freight. Instantly there was wild excite- ment. On the deck of the steamer a scene of indescribable confusion ensued, but afew cool-headed people at once set to work to rescue the people thrown into the river and those buried in the debris of the platform. Owing to the fact that many cases of in*. ies were pot reported, the unfortunates be- ing hurried home in carriages, it is impos- sible to ascertain the full extent of the acoident. As far as known the list of dead and badly hurt embraces the following: Dead --Ed. Zero, aged 15; Charles Wal - wig, 22; Thomas Slewster, 20.

Small bonnets of sheer white organdie, made with many fine pleatings,are worn to church in the country, trimmed with big bows of pure white ribbon. Ecru erabroideredrauslins are made with ruffled skirts, apron drapery and shirred waists, whioh are held in place by a broad, heavy white belt. The shoulders are orna- mented with epaulets of thick, soft white ribbon bows. The latest blade lace dresses are made by sewing alternate strips of lace inserting two inches wide and black moire ribbon of the same width. The fabric formed in this way is draped diagonally across the raoire underdress in front and straight in the back. The waist is shirred across the shoulders and about the neck over a tight silk lining and gathered to a point at the belt line, Similar lace dresses are made in white and draped over either white moire or white surah. In these white costumes the white drapery of the waist is crossed over in surplice fashion and held at the waist with a wide moire sash. The sleeves of the striped lace and ribbon are in leg-oa mutton shape and leave no lining, short moire cuffs confining thena below the elbow. Dressing sacones of exquisitely delicate mull, trimmed profusely with lace and coy - ere, with a multitude of loops of the very narrowest tibbon, are worn to the break- fast table with old silk skirts that are past the prime. The ribbons are run through narrow inserting set between the mull and the lace ruffles. 'Under them are worn white corset covers, tied with ribbons of the same color as those in the sacque, which are prettiest when of clear; butter- cup yellow.

It as made over a skirt of cheap white silk and has three narrow flounces of the mull edged with two rows of narrow white satin ribbon. The long drapery is edged with four rows of ribbon and is no, where draped high enough above the flounces to expose the silk anderskirt, The waist is a low-necked,' sleeveless, white silk basque over vehieh the mull is gathered high in the thtoat, held there by three rowe of ribbon. • There are no sleeves, and the gloves are white.

Of couree they would claim that they have nothing to do with the practice of medicine, but as long ma they are taking money for healiog people it woeld make a very pretty case. Most of the plied curers are women, how- ever, and some qf them ladies, and as long as they can do 00 little harm, no one is likely to distprh them, It takes very little trouble to beceme a mind mixer. All of them teactli the art or science, or whatever they call it, and it only takes twenty les- sons or se to be able to peactice it, so that one would think that every man might soon leecerge his gym mind curer •, but every one is not Buccessful either in doing or in making himeelf or others believe that he is successful in doing what he wants to, and so comes about a survival of the fittest in the business, The ob- server knows, and knew before she assumed her present mysterious importance, oae of the largest practitioners in this field; she 18 a handsome, well-bred woman: with considerable sense of humor, and her ac- counts of her patients are very funny. It is one of the peculiarities of the mind cure that it cures everythipg from original sin to corns, and Mrs. B. has as many patients come eo her for ailments not physical as for those that are. Women come to be made to love their husbands, and men come—for the patieots are by no means. all "silly women" — to be kept from fretting about their business; children are sent to have their tempers im- proved, and drunkards to have their. appetites oktanged. It is easy to see that in all such cases as these the attitude of seeking a oure, not to mention the fact of paying for it, does a great deal to, produce it, and this sort of influence may be an expellent thing. A prominent physi- cian said the other day that if the hypo- chondriacs could be gotten to patronize the mind cure it would be the greatest blessing. both for them and their poor, worn-out doctors in the world, for hypochondria is practically banished by the nund curists as - a mere preliminary to treatment, but this doctor seed that solar as he could learn no - professional invalids of the elasse whose in- validism constitutes their only reason for being, could be persuaded to try a system whose first requirernent is that the patient. shall cease to talk about his ailments. Their practice on dila point ought to give a - hint to the regular physicians ; why in the name of mercy to mankind can't they all adopt enough of mind cure philosophy to, follow in their footsteps in this one parti- cular and stop all patients from talking about their ailments and sensations ? If that could be accomplished the mind cure, would richly have justified its existence. A Popular Novelist on "Love," Love is like a -flower in the desert. It is like the aloe of Arabia that biome. but once and dies; it blooms in the sale ernptiness of life, and the brightness of its beauty is set upon the waste as a star is. set upon a storm. It hatkt the sun above that is the spirit,. and about it blows the air of its own. divinity, At the eohoing of a step Love bloom, I say; I say Love blooms, and bends her. beauty down to him who pesseth by. He plucketh it, yea, he plucketh the red cup that is full of honey, and beareth it away—away across the desert—away till the fiower be withered—away tilt the desert • be done. There is only one perfect flower in the, wilderness of life. That flower is Love! There is only one fixed star in the midst. of our wandering. That star is Love. There is only one hope iti our despairing, night. That hope is Love. All else is false. All else is shadow moving upon water. All else is wind and. vanity. Who shall say what is the weight or the. measure of Love? It is bort of the flesh, it dwelleth in the spirit, From each does. it draw its comfort. For beauty it is as a star. Many are its shapes, but all are beantie ful ; and none know where the star rose, or the horizon where it shall set —.Ff. Rider - Haggard, in "She." A Simple Ouestion.
