A CELESTIAL BIGAMIST.
All Youngs' First Wife Arrives Un-
expectedly from China.

San Francisco Chronicle.
About twenty-five years ago Celest-
ial, Chung All Fung by name, arrived
in the Hawaiian Islands. He owned
little store, and year by year increased
in wealth until now he is the owner of
a large sugar plantation on the Island of
Hawaii, besides transacting considera-
bic business in Honolulu. All Fung,
after a few years residence in troDical
land took wife from among the daugh-
tcrS of Oanu, and, corresponding with
the growth of his wealth, his family in
creased until they numbered fourteen.
With All Fong came little boy whose
maternal parent was OF the pure Punt
blood (Chinese), but who was generally
supposed to hav" departed this life some
where ssin the purieuS Of the city of Rams
lClayton). The boy grew up, and was
sent to Yale to be educated, from which
Alma Mater he returned a few years ago,
well grounded in the English language
and Vcrsed in'the arts of poker I9aying.
He was employed by his father on the
sugar plantation. but wcaried with the
| quiet life as cuntrasted with the collegi-
| ate experience, he took passage to San
Francisco with the intention of proceed
ing to China, there to seek diplomatic
service. The godly society in Honolulu
| that admits All Fong and his family to
| pttSliSS,
lis acquisitions to their reunions, will be
surprised TO learn that by the steamer
Gaelic, from Hongkong, there arrived
Mrs. All Fong No. and two little All
Fongs. Imagination can only be in
voked by the scene which will occur
when No. l Mrs. All Fong meets her
kanaka rival. Even the friendship OF
kalakaua and Lord Chamberlain Judd
which All Fong enjoys, having obliged
them at various times-can scarcely save
him from being indicted for bigamy
and unless the first piece" wife can be
pative land, the much-respected COM
mercial agent for his Majesty of China
will be in a fix. Mrs. All Fong intends
to visit Honolulu by the outgoing steam

A Murderer Confesses.


 The Secret of the Langworthy Murder
 Revealed.
 William Libby, convicted in New London county four or five years ago of the murder of young sLangworthy, son of Henry D. Langworthy, of Stonington, and sentenced to the State prison for life, died about a month ago in the prison. Before he died he confessed to the chaplain of the prison that he committed the murder, and this confession will remove any doubt that may have existed in the mind of anyone at the time, and some theories affecting other parties that were then advanced. The murder was com mitted when all the family but Libby, who was hired man, and two sons of MT. Lang worthy were at church. One of the sons was killed and the other badly in- iured. Libby then asserted that men rushed into the house, killed one of the boys and wounded the other, and inflicted wounds upon his own head which he showed. He went from the house to meet Mir. Langworthy coming from church and told him this story. But he was sus, pected of the crime, tried and convicted. He has, however, as stated above, confessed his guilt. He says that he had some words with the DOyS anu budb h5 oA0 OAO AAuA0SAoN was sitting in the house he struck him from behind with 'jumper"-a long iron drill such as is used in drilling rock, one man hold ing and turning the drill and two turning breaking his skull and killing him instantly He then went up stairs where the other young man was sleeping and struck him, in hicting severe injuries, but the young man recovered and is still living. Libby then went to the barn and with an iron wrench inflicted wounds upon his own head. and con cocted the story which he told at the tlme; If was a brutal and cold -blooded murder, and the perpetrator deserved the penalty for murder in the first degree His career is now ended, and no future Legislature will be called upon to consider his case. Had he lived few years longer, there might have been an effort, possibly: to liberate him on the theory that some other party might have been concerned in the affair, or that Libby had behaved well in prison, and ought to be rewa rded for such good behavior, rather than confined longer for his early crime Libby said he was maddened from the use of cider when he committed the crime.

 In lecture on meteorites before the Bridgeport Scientific society, Monday even- ing, F. G. Fowler said he did not regard tLe schme for passing signals to other planets, probably inhabited, as so chimerical as might be supposed. Signals could be given by flashes of sunlight, reflected by mirrors, at such times as the planets made. the nearest approach to each other, and were so situated that signal could be reflected from the sum- ny side of our planet to the dark side of the other. Numbers of small mirrors combined so as to make 8 large mirror several hundred feet square would be sufficient to reflect signal that could be distinctly seen, under favorable circumstances. Probably the best preliminary practice in first endeavoring to establish communication would be to repre- sent counting-one flash and pause, then two flashes and another pause, and so on. Beings possessing any degree of intelligence or civilization know how to count and they would immediately comprehend that they were actuated by other beings possessed of intelligence, and would be inclined to re- spond to the same, With three such signals 8 triangle could be represented, and with 8 sufficient number any character or figure could be outlined in characters of fire.
