sun were successfully made st the West
Point Observatory.
BosToN. May G.-Observations Of the
transit of Mercury at the Cambridge OBJ
servatory, somewhat interlered with by
the clouds, but in the afternoon the sky
was clear, and afforded most favorable
opportunity for an observation. The
contact took place several seconds later
than 1926 A. NJ. The general results
were considered quite satisfactory.
WAsHINGToN, May 6.-The transit of
Mercury. in addition to being observed
at the Naval Observatory, was also OBJ
served by Prof. Newbomb and several
of his assistants, who were provided
with telescopes, at the Nautical Almanac
office. The observations fully con-
firmed the various results for the
motion Of the perheIIon of Mercury.
According to the observations OF Prof.
Newcomb and assistants the second in
ternal contact of Mercury with the west
ern edge of the sun occurred at SO min
utes and so seconds past five o'clock this
afternoon and the external contact
minutes and 80 seconds later. The planet
through telescope appeared not larger
than i've cent piece. The gentlemen
engaged In the work say there could not
haye been better day !or observations.
Prof. Eastman was at the old telescope at
the National Observatory and Prot. Hall
superinteDded the taking of the photo
graphs of the passing planets. These
photographs were produced by means Of u
horizontal telescope and reflection.
UTICA May 6.-Prof. Peters Of Ham.
ilton College, Clinton, made successful
observations OF the transit Of Murcury

tact. Prof Peters is of the opinion he
discovered indications Of atmosphere CD
the planet.

THAT SPEECHLEsS SPECTER.
IiOn-Vain Efforts TO Detect the
Fraud.

BALTIMORE, May 6.-The East Balti-
moro ghost sensation continues, and the
specter had another large audience last
night, the watchers waiting on the scene
till past midnight. Among the crowd
were a number Of prominent Spiritual
lists, who appear deeply interested in the
phenomenal development
In tracing back the history of Fells
Point, it is found that the corner Of Phil
pot and Wills streets WAS originally the
site of the old Sesmen's Bethel Church.
The building was torn down some thirty
years ago to make room for the houses
which, st present, occupy the site. While
digging for the foundation the workmen
discovered the skeleton Of man in the
remains Of cellar formerly belonging to
a grog-shop, which stood on the corner
prior - the place being occupied By the
church Thi, drinking-saloon was the
resort OF class OF roughs and thieves,
and when the human remains were e
inferred, the general supposition wa:
that the bones were those OF man
who had st some time been murdered,
AL4 IL UJND OuIitN lu kLe CtllhT. VA
residents are Of the opinion that some
freebooter ha. ,ecreted boarded wealth in
the vicinity, and the ,upersttious ones
aver that the alleged wanderings of the
spirit ha, something to do with it. Mrs.
Moore is still persistent in her statement
regarding the appearance Of an appari.
ton, which story she tells with such
straighttorwarduess and earnestness OF
manner 3, to carry conviction with it to
many.
L,st night the specter ,sain presented
Itself before the women in ps,ssge-wsy.
1t now appears as 8 respectable, we'll
regulated spirit should appear, dressed in
n weli-ft.ing black suit, polished shoss
and q clesn-shaven face, which, Mrs
Moore says looks like wsx, instasd otthe
CORY looks and bloody visage as hereto
tore. Mrs. Jones, the other occupant Of
the premises, has removed to other lo5g-
inCs. The kuoCkiugs continued last nigut.
s1d sll efforts to lay the spirit or detect
the fraud have thus far failed.

RAYMOND'S RISKS"
How II was Viewed Last Night and
What Ills.

Barley CampOelfs new ana OTlInant
comeny, Risks; or, Insure Your Life"
WAS gwen for the first time in this city
last night by John T Raymond, sup
ported by an excellent company. The
audience was not one OF those which
Wheeling generally turns ou! to witness
8 Erst CLASS play by such an actor as
Raymond, but still it was good, bJth in
point of numbers and make up.
Everybody fs.t happy, tor they eT-
pected TO laugh with greater zest than
they had for long time, and they waited
without any display Of impotence until
the green curtain went up, scanning the
house for familiar faces, flirting with
their friends or listening to Josie Krsmer's
capital music.
Up goes the curtain, showing party
in garden playing cards. Of they go
and in comes Mr.. Dugiyn, an old farmer,
with PemJerton Pembroke, who Is the
agent Of an insurance company. Pembroke
tells the farmer he ought 10 have his lie
insured. he says be can't afford it
cant make both ends meet, where
upon the insurance man ssys
be never saw but two men
who made both ends meet; one was an &C
robst and the other had the collie. A
little byplsy then comes of in which
Paul Tarney young fellow who has
rich sunt, tells about his being in love
with n school girl and how his aunt will
disinherit him if he msrrIes her. AS is
usual fortune fa7ors the lover and as be
is wandering about somewhat disconso-
lately he comes plump upon Bella Nei0.
t5,l the pretty, modest little one who has
ru0 sway with MS heart. She tells him
OF her poverty and as he is 3 rather purse
proud fellow, he Is somewhat dIsgusted.
The nsturslness OF this scene Is very
".sking' and just a. the point
where matters reach sn interesting
crisis, IN comes Pembroke and in his own
inimit4ble manner, says thst q msn who is
to be married soon, should have his lite il
sursd, to the great disgust Of the lovers,
the gentleman telling him, "This intrusion
of yULrs viii cost" "0h damn costs" says
the energetic maker Of policies. As ne
runs sitter the couple the curtain falls
amid 8 roar Of laughter and applause, z
the midst Of which the green cloth rolls
up and he little scene is repeated with
II; customary effect.
All goes on rapidly behind the scenes
aad in short time the second act opens
in Netcton's house where the Sheriff hss
come to take charge OF things.

DEMOCRATIC REFORM.
Some Suggestions OF Practical
Nature.

WASHINGTON, Msy 6.-The Demo
Gratis of Congress are sarcsstic;lly dealt
with by enc Of their so-caIlei Sunday
organs in this city to-day for "ho!dlnE on
at the spigot and letting 90 al the 0nng,'
in their bcasled economy, retrenchmcnt
and reform. Regret is expressed that the
Democrats are SO very particular about
such small matters as the saving
OF $500 per month during the
session of Congress by cutting down
the pay cf committee clerks from
So to So a day, and reducing the salaries
Of eight messeuge and fourteen on the
soldiers roll from l,2OO to $1,000, OF .n
aggregate annual saving in the House
expenses amounting to fraction over
$4,000. 1t is suggested that if the Demo
cratic house had stricken of the Sl25
allowed to each Of the members for
stationery, and permitted them to pur-
chase it out of their $1,000 salary, it
would have been a ssviugOf nearly $40,
900, or four times rs muCu, without work
ing hardshIps upon poor employees or
had they pa,riotjcslIy reduced their o~n
salaries to $4,000, it would have been 8
saving to the people OF nearly 100000.

CORBIN'S CASE.
His prospecis Against Butler.

WAsHINGToN, May 6.-The friends OF
CorbIn, who seeks to unsest Senator But
Ter, of South Carolina, claim to have
good assurance Of majority in the Sen
ate for opening the question on this con-
test upon its merits, and expect among
their supporter, for this PROPOSE,
tion Kellogg and others OF that
ilk in the Senate. Senator Thur
man, OF the Judiciary Committee,
stated tonight that this subject had been
talked of among Senators
and lawyers of both parties, and they
concur, without an exception, in the
opinion that Buffers case is res ddjHd1-
cata, and that he holds his seat in the
Senate rs conclusively as does any men,
Der of that body; that if perchsnce, by a
vote of the Senate, Butler would be un-
seated, it would establish precedent
which would unsest Kellogg next year,
when the Democrats would have the
majority in the Senate. He remarked;
'Itis all nonsense for Corbln to pursue
the matter. Both Butler and Kellogg
are firmly seated"

Election Riot in North Carolina.

NEW YORK, May GA special from
Weldon, North Carolina, says: The
election Ct town commissioners was the
occas ion of serious riot here this morn
ing, between the whites and negroes
Both races had candidates in the field,
and great excitement prevailed. About
ten O'clock tie rio: oegsr, and clubs,
knives and pistols were freely used, and
quite a number Of persons were sbo', Gu:
a1d bruised. One man, g negro, will die
it is thought, and injuries OF several
others are regarded dangerous. 4 mill
tsry company has been telegraphed for
to Norfolk, as the indications OF fresh
outbreak are imminent. The presence Of
the Virginia military on the other side of
the river msy have quieting effect.
