After the Fortune-Teller in Paterson—Supposed To Be the Trunk “Checker” —Funeral of Walter Conklin—The Story of Mary : Carroll’s Relatives, “} wonder how he feels now ?”’ is the question on a thousand ling when the name of Rosenzweig 13 mentioned. There are good-hearted, good-natured people in this world who think that the inner life of ‘® criminal such as Rosenzweig should be one of eonstant torture. When the white face of the sneak- ng, cowardly Lookup-Evans was scrutinized in all ics nervous twitchings the public were satisiled that conscience had seized upon the villain and Pierced him with remorse. Fear, however, was reafly the only fecling exhibited by Evans, fear for bis lifé; but, above all, fear forhis money. Rosen- swell .

It is, however, hardly provable that this will suc- ceed immediately, for the parues concerued tn such a diabolical transaction would naturally maintain a close guard over their actions while tie excite- ment conunues, The discovery of this woman in Paterson, if she should be there, is yet @ matier of considerable time vo most minds, THE FUNERAL OF WALTER CONKLIN took place yesterday alteruoon from the residence of his parents, No. 9 North Maim street, about threo o’clock, Although no publicity had been given to the nour, there Was quite a number of friends — The faneral discourse was deltvered by Rev, Dr. Banvard, of the First Bapust Church, of which Conklin’s fatuer and mother are leading inem- vers. The remarks wade by the dominic were short, having but little refereuce to the tragedy and 1s eftects, but pointing more particularly to the moral to be drawn from the fearful exampic, THE FUNERAL CORTEGR comprised quite a string Of carriages, which were driven through the street ata low trot. Tue car- riages containing the pail bearers took the lead, followed by the hearse drawn by two gray horses, trimmed in black. The cofin was o1 biack cloth, with heavy silver mountings. The windows of most of the carriages were shut and the curtains drawp down, so that the occupants were tuvisible to the public, This, under the circumstances, was considered to be of the best of taste, ‘The inter- ment was wade, with a short and unostentatious ceremony, at Cidar Lawn Cemetery, a beautiful spot, about two miles from the centre of the city, on the banks of Puadee Lake, This was the end of Walter Conklin, THR CONKLIN FAMILY are entitled to the sympethy of the public in their bereavement. It 1s but just to believe their asser- tion that if Walter haa beén engaged im criminal intimacy with Ailce, or other women, they have been in utter ignorance. A young man engagea in such practice would not likely tell ns people about “WHERE'S ROSENZWEIG ?"” «There he is, Just at your clbow—that’s 38."

This face suddenly takes its , ugliness ont of your sight as you approach; and seated on the oed to the right sits a Jarge-framed, Dloated man, with a short, bull neck, on which rests A BULLDOG nAD, surmounted by amass of crisply curled red hatr. A large red mustache hides 4 ferocious mouth, and @ pair of bluish, ensanguined eyes cast a sullen look out at the gazer through the cell door.

A SHOE SHOP SLAUGHTER. A Fatal Quarrel Between Man and Wife. Diseabowelling a Brooklyn Shoemaker—Story of the Prisoner end Her Stepdaughters. ‘The ptous city of Brooklyn has again been made the scene of a shocking affray, resulting in the sacrt- five of a buman being, the father of a family. The ortme is all the more revolting In character because of the fact that the slayer of the head of the house is none other than the wife of the slain, The de- tails, which have been carefully culled at all reliable sources of information, are of @ nature striking and peculiar in the annals of criminal offences which have come to light in thatecity. The parties who figure in the tragedy have long been known in the humble circles in which they moved as honest, quiet and hard working people. The names of man amd woman are, respectively, John Riely and Ellen, the former forty-eight years of age and the latter about tnirty- eight, Both are natives of the Emerald Isle, He followed the ayocation of shoemaker, at 89 = Atlantic = street, = near = Hicks, = South Brookiyn. The family consisted of three children, two of which were by a former wife of John Riely, and are aged thirteen and titeen years respectively. They occupy the first and sec- ond floors of a three story brick building aud are understood to be possessed of some property, be- sides doing’ a good business im the neigh- borhood, where he was well liked, Ellen, who is now so painfully situated, was servant with a wealiny family residing in ‘Third plac? for several years prior to her meeting with the deceased, who wooed and won her six years ago, At the time of thelr marriage she was possessed of a few hundred dollars, which she had saved out of her wages, and, being commendably anxious that Jonn should improve his stock and trade, gave him the money. ‘They lived bappily for a time, when HE BEGAN TO DRINK and partook 80 deeply of the flowing bowl that he was attacked with the horrors, He gave over drinking for awhile, but soon began again, and with his inebriety blended lis abuse and cruelty. Yet he kept up a semblance of attending to business with all, and as she was @ peace- ably disposed woman, who was reluctaat to reveal her domestic sorrows to her. m- quisitive and gossiping neighbors, the world Was not much the wiser of the situation, But murder will out, and sympathy frequently wastes itself upon the least worthy object. the gossips about Mrs, Riely’s abode denounce her as a person who drank, and claim that he was a sober man, the preponderance of evidence to the contrary meanwhile, On Thursday evening last Mrs. tucly returned from a visit to her niece in Vander- bit avenue, the only relative she has in this country, when she was assailed by her husband, Who Was under the lafuence of liquor. He called her opprobrious epithets, and then struck her 10 the eye, Knocking her down and Kicking her about the face and neck. SHE SEIZED A KNIFE, such as shoemakers use, and as he continued to as- sault ber she warned him to desist. He heeded her not; and, goaded on to despera- uo) and in self-uefence, she plunged the laded, giittermg weapon into his abdomen, After exchanging a few words with her he walked out of the house to a drug store and irom thence to the hospital im Henry street, where he lingered | Until about one o'clock yesierday afternoon, when he died of nis wound.

They then went in search of the unfortunate woman, Whom tney found at her house in Atlantic street, and took her imto custody, A representative of the TLERALD visited vhe station house and asked permission to converse with Mrs. Kiely, which was granted, wii the re- hs she should not be intormed of the death of hey Musbana, a THE PMSONER occupled a seat in tue corridor on the second tier over the cells, She ts # neat, cleanly looking per- son, and has nothing i her appearance to in- dicate either vidient temper or over-tondness jor liquor, she was attired in mourning, and wore a sad, troubled expresston of coua- tenance as she turned to see who was the Intruder.

HIGH-TONED HURDY GURDY MEN. Meeting of the Anti-Reform Organ Grinding Awony Associntion, As long as sonny Italy was but a hetereogenous compound of petty governments, with nothing na- tional in the -people except maccaroni and lazi- ness, it is not to be marvelled that the nurdy-gurdy in its shrill discordance should have been ihe na- tional musical instrument. With the dawn of a united nation this feeling. changed, and ihe dark eyes of ifalia’s sons flashed at the thougiat that “their representatives abroad’ were only so many ragged PURVEYORS OF INSTRUMENTAL TORTURE, beside which the Inquisition paled its Lurid fires.

Is that Virgil to be vio- lated through a vagabond’s violin, or Dante to be damned by a dancer's tambourine 7” ‘The answer to these queries was the call of a meeting at Germania Assembly Rooms for last night to suppress all such nuisances, But the patriotic minds did not put in an appearance, an announcement in the Eco d@ italia giving as a rea- son therefor the transaction of otner important business, The HERALD reporter, who went there, found avout twenty excited gentlemen of THE ORGAN GRINDING PERSUASION vowing vengance on the traitors who would deny them the opportunity of wringing pennies from an instrumentally tortured public as thelr ancestor Caligula had wrung groans trom the prinutive Chris- tans on the rack, Black, mattea beards and dark | eyes, right hands horny trom one handed rotary exercise; coats of coarse material with a leather strap mark over the shoulders, and brigand hats betokened the bandits of the land of Intes, who had charmed their savage breasis with music at the public expense.

BOILER FXPLOSIONS. Experiments by Experts‘on Steam Boiiers by Hydrostatic Pressure. The Westfield explosion, notwithstanding the horribie catastrophe which 1 caused, has been productive of some good, and shows tne trath of the saying that “its an iil wind { biows noboly = gool."? In the case of | the Westneld much benefit is likely toresult from the more thorough inspection and testing of boilers which that fatal explosion will Mmaduce. The engineering world bas of late been considerably exercised over the savject of boiler | explosions, and many theories have been developed asto the probable cause of rupture in general— whether overpressure of steam or the wear and tear | | on the boiter rendered it incapable of sustain. | ing ihe amount of pressure which it was | Supposed to be able to carry with safety. | With a view to throwing some light on this question | Mr. F.

Beauties of Legislation. The Negro More Trouble in Prospect for $ retary Fish. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1871. Evils of Wiiterate Officials Cropping Ou'— More Trouble for Secretary Fist. The following account of the second interference ‘on the part of colored officials at Darien, Ga., with the maritime rights of British shipmasters, was re- ceived today at the Treasury Department:—The British bark Moua, from Liverpool, had loaded at ‘he mills at Darien and was ready for sea with a rgo of lumber, bound for London. On Thursday last, the vessel having cleared and the steamiug lying alongside, ine eaptain found that hts crew, alt British subjects, arue! seamen and negroes, were not on board to get the vessel ready, fo engaged other hands and the ship waa made ready tor being towed out, ‘The crew about this time came oa board and were ordered by the captain to han! in the retoaining lines, which they positively refused to do, stating that they did not intend going tn the ship, giving as a reason that she Was unseaworthy, because she listed a litte, and stating, further, that they wished to sec the British Consul. The captain told them there was no British Consul at Darien. The ship was towed out to Doboy Sound, within » half mig of Sapelo light, where tue tug left the ship, the crew continuing on board. The ship re- mained at this point for two or three days waiting for favorable winds, the crew the meanwiilie re- fusing to do duty, and the captain refusing on ms part to furnish them with food until they should return to their work, On Sunday moroing lass they came to the captain ina body and demanded to know what he intended to do with them, to which he replied that if they would go to duty and behave thernselves be would give them everything, wich, ag his crew, they had 4 rignt to expect. They insisted that they did not intend to go in the ship, and said they would take the boat and go ashore und see the British Consul. The Captain told them again that there was no British Consul at Darien, and that they could not have the boat to go ashore. They said in repiy to this thatif the captain dtd not let them have the boat they would take i The capiain warned them that they were ia the act of mutiny, and told them that it they = attempted to take the boat he would shoot them. One of the men, named John James, & negro, picked up the oars to put in the boat and was warned by the Captain to put them down, Which he refused, and on ius attempting to put them tn the boat the Captain fired, smooting hin in the leg. He stil persisted, when another shot was fired, which, striking him in the arm, brought him to @ stand, dropping the oars. ‘he men rushed forward like, SO many demons, and armed themselves with handspikes and capstan bars and advanced upon the Captaio, who singly opposed them, with cries of “Kil him !? “Kill the son of a b—h !? As they advanced the captain atterpted to fire, but his pistol snapped, when they rushed upon him, threw bim down, took aWay his pistol and, lowering the voat, left the ship for Darien. The Second mate of the bark lad, without the kuowleage of the captain, got into the boat for ul purpose of bringing it back tothe ship when the muune should leave it, ‘The boat returned on sunday even- ing, about teu o'clock, and on Monday morning the captain proceeded to Darien for the purpose of effecting thetr arrest. No sooner had he landed on shore than he was arrested by virtue of a warrant issued by Tuots G, Campbell, Justice of the Peace, charging bim with assault with intent to marder, and placed in jail, Where he remained for twenty- Jour hours, and giving bonds for $1,090, was re- leased. Ja the meantine the deserting and mutinous seamen were arrested and lodged in jail. Tue British Consul at Savannah, Ga., has also sent to Jlon, Francis Pakenham, Chargé WaAdaires of the British Legation here, a statement substantially as above, the tnformation contatnea tn the letter reve!ved having’ beeu given by Captain Hatheld himself. Te G. Campbell, the negro i i] oficial who acted ‘in this couse and also the ease of the British bark Grace two Weeks since, is repre. sented as an literate man, aud his conduct is likely toinvolve the State Department in ut least an unpleasant ¢epistolatory cuattoversy, ‘The Briush Consul, in bls letter to the Legation, complains of tne frequent disregard of treaty obligations .b*tween this country and Great Britain, and calls atteation tothe character of the State officials, who set at detiance foe common iaws of cummercial mter- course.
