A0teLs OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES la
Front Of she ssSun-' Office.

New York, Nov. 5.-The Sun says: The
city poured ont into the streets last night
and went crazy The excitement pent up
during the voting hours broke loose after
dark, and on every hand were a yelling,
struggling, bowling mass of humanity
pressing around the bulletin boards,
growing hoarser and wilder as the con-
stantly-changing returns worked upon
their feelings. The Fifth Avenue Hotel
was jammed as never before. All the
tables and chairs were removed, even
from the reading room and at times cir
c~ulAtion vas absolutely out OF the ques-
ton. AT the Hoffman House it was even
worse. Uniformed policemen wedged
through the crowded bar-room, and the
yelling, cheering and bowling were so hor-
rible that loud talk of any kind had soon
to be forbidden, and the police were re-
quested to club any one who cheered.
Many of those in the crowd seemed
DRUNK WITH ENTHUSIASM,
And elbowed their way around, waving
rolls Of bills, and making the most un-
heard-of propositions. But the widest
part of the night New York has seen since
the war was reached at II o'clock. The
returns, at first favorable for Cleveland,
turned then to Blaine, and the largest
crowd assembled that ever gathered before
the Sun Office and was more enthusiastic
than ever before. At a loss to find some
way to express their feelings. the crowd
went through performances unknown to
former outdoor demonstrations. Three
hundred men would gather in a knot, give
three cheers for Blaine, clap, jump up and
down, screaming in each others faces, with
their eyes straining from their heads, and
keep it up until some new result called
forth some new demonstrations. Thou
sands of men sang or yelled together,
"Glory, glory, hallilujah, hallilujan as
we'll go marching in l' and then clapped
their hands, waved their handkerchiefs
and screamed again.

A correspondent writes that he has just
returned from the shores of Lake Super
ior, where he spent some time in visiting
the copper regions, said to be the greatest
in the world. Throughout the rocky, bar
rem Keweenaw Peninsula, good for moth
ing as farming lands, the immense copper
deposits have caused large towns to spring
up, and they now give employment to tens
of thousands Of men. About 10 years ago
a pig strayed from the drove to which it
belonged and fell into a pit on a spot where
the city of Calumet now stands. In root
ing about it uncovered a mass of native
copper, and showed to the world the loca-
ton Of the greatest copper mine it has ever
known. As the result of that pigs roofing
humanity is now S35, 900, 900 richer in the
use of the copper there discovered, and the
stockholders, who, aided by the pig, have
helped the world to this wealth, have re-
ceived about S25, 900, 900 for their trouble.
A town Of 5000 Inhabitants has gathered
around the pigs hole, and nearly 1000
men are employed in operating mines be-
meath it.

CLArRyoyANcE A FRAUD.
How Intelligent People r Syste
m~atfcAily Humbugged.

LdbOnchere IN London ITuh.
l am overwhelmed with indignant pro.
tests Of spiritualists, c~lairvoyants, table.
turner's and ghost-seers, who are unable to
understand how / can refuse to be con-
WINGED Of the existence of phenomena,
which, according to them, occur every day.
When clairvoyance was the rage a Dublin
physician - Sir Philip Cramptom, if l
remember rightly-enclosed a bank note
in an envelope, placed the envelope at the
Bank of Ireland and offered it to any
clairvoyant who could tell him the num-
Der. No clairvoyant could. When table
turning was the rage, Farady invited any
table-turner to come to the Royal Institute
and to turn a table there which was
SO arranged that physical pressure
would count for nothing. No table
turner came. As for s~piritualists,
their tricks have been again and
again exposed. Slade had q esprit" who
wrote on a slate under the table. The
trickery was proved in a Police Court; yet
now we are told that we ought to believe
in spiritual slate-writing because the late
Duke of Albany believed in it and owned
a slate on which spirits we're in the habit
OF writing. We are asked to accept as
gospel truth that in India an adept Of
Buddhist sp~iritualism often writes a letter
and puts it in a room. The adept to which
it is addressed comes in the spirit from
Thibet, or some such distant spot, and in
dites a reply. There are, we believe. a
considerable number of persons in En-
gland who absolutely believe in this letter.
writing trash. Only the other day q ghost
story was published, for the details of
which it was said that Sir E. Hornby
vouched. He had himself seen the ghost.
1t appeared to him in China, and he at
once informed his wife Of the fact. Ac-
cording to recent information, however,
from China, it would seem that
the ghost had forgotten to die when,
he appeared, for he was still alive,
and that Sir Horribly was not married when
he confided the details of the ghostly
narrative to his wife. l am utterly dis
gusted with the credulity Of persons other
wise sensible. They seem unable to
understand by what sort of evidence a de-
parture from the known laws of nature
ought to be believed.
Take, for instance, the trick of finding a
pin, the whereabouts of which is known to
the "subject." The trick is generally per-
formed in a room full of people, who also
know where the pin is concealed. Col
fusion, therefore, is possible. This, how
ever, is not necessary, for if the performer
be adroit, he knows where to go, owing to
the unconscious indications given by the
subject. Nothing is more easy than to
prove this. Let the subject be blind
folded instead of the performer, and the
latter will never find the pin. 1 asked Mr..
Stuart Cumberland whether he could find
a pin under these conditions. Being an
honest man, and making no pretense to do
more than closely follow indications, he
replied that he could not.

Dea1h of James pheIan.

The Virginia Chronicle says that james
Phelan was found dead in his bed at the
Occidental lodging. house. Mr.. Phelan
and his wife retired about 10 o'clock last
night. His wife says that at that time he
appeared to be in his usual health. Some
time during the night she heard him
grooming, and thinking it was an attack OF
nightmare, to which he had frequently
been subject, she shook him quietly,
which appeard to have the desired effect,
as he ceased breathing hard. She then
went to sleep, and, on awakening at 7
O'Clock this morning, found him dead as
described.
Mr.. Phelan was an old and ~well-known
citizen. He wal elected State Senator in
1872; was at one time President OF the
Miners Union, and, up 10 q short time
ago, was employed in the Grown Point
mine. Deceased leaves q wife and Tour
children, who are living at the Occidental
lodging house. Coroner Mot will hold
an inquest on the body tomorrow.

CALICO'S FIRST DISCOVERY.
Two Mules Laden with silver
Bullion.

The Calico Print says: The time will
come when anything pertaining to the past
history of the mines upon the desert, or,
more properly speaking, on the frontiers
OF California and Nevada, will be read
with interest. No doubt there are many
old stories afioat that the writer has never
heard repeated, but such as he has be will
place before the reader and will here also
vouch for but little conveyed therein, as il
nearly all comes from hearssy, hence the
caption to this article. The first story OF
| this nature that we remember hearing was
| given US by an old Mexican at Los An.
| geles in 1861. He said that when he was
quite young and living with the fathers at
the Mission San Fernando, situated a
short distance to the northward from Los
Angeles, a Mexican would start out in the
| Spring with two mules loaded with pro-
| visions sufficient for an all Summers sup.
ply; that he would take no companions
with him, and travelled northward toward
| Elizabeth Lake, and returned in the Fall
after an absence of about six months with
his two mules laden with silver bullion.
lulS he ulu lOI tuIoc b6deODS, Uut on tut
fourth he vent out as usual, but never re-
turned. The time when this occurred, il
| occur IL did, must have been as far back as
1910, or previous. This old story has re.
Cured to the writer quite forcibly since the
discovery of the Calico mines with their
rich horn.silver groupings, as well as .
cave or tunnel-like excavation that has
been found ON one side of the mines. 1t is
possible that this old time explorer of the
desert, wandering northward from San
Fernando, came through the natural pass
10 the mountains at Elizabeth Lake, thence
travelling eastward along the base Of the
Sierra Madres, at last came to the Mojave
river, and following down the stream,
ended his explorations by scratching the
Calico hills for minerals, and finding the
metals In an almost pure state, it would re-
quire but little skill to reduce il to bull
ion with any sort of a rude furnace.

A COmHNa SHAKE.
An Artificial Earthquake that Will
Startte All.

New York Sun: "There are four miles
Of tunnels in this mine," said Foreman
Bernard Boyle as he conducted a visitor
down into the excavations under Flood
Rock, which the government has under
taken to blow up, as it blew up Hallet's
Reef a short distance above it in He'll Gate.
1--WE are working carefully now, guarding
against any outbreak" said Mr.. Boyle.
There is 81 900, 600 worth Of work at
stake here and we are exercising the great
est caution. In case Of a sudden flood the
miners would escape through the door
there and close it. Then the compressed
air Of this pipe would be let loose and a
pressure of sixty pounds to the square
inch would prevent this section from fill
ing. The pumps are we'll able TO take
care Of the present leaks. We might in
troduce compressed air into the seams
there and stop il no doubt, but as we
don't know the width Of the orihce farther
back, We prefer the slower process of
| ~cementing. Next September you may see
aud hear the largest explosion known to
history. All Of these holes you see there
with plugs in them will be filled with ex-
| p~losiyes which will cost $500, 600. About
100. 900 cubic yards of rock have already
been excsvated. If you desire to count,
you will find about $50, 900 two and three
inch holes drilled for explosives already.
The drills have to be sharpened $4,000
times per yearlin the shops over head.
