ALBANY, N. Y. Nov. I7.-Professor

finds from calculations made recently
that the eometin kndromeda, discov-
cred by Holmes on November 8, il
very probably indentical with Bela's
Periodic Comet which has not certain
" been recognized since 1852. This
confirms the suspicious telegraphed
from Berlin BY Professor Berberich
some days ago.
Professor Boss thinks there is likely
to be a very close approach between
the comet and the earth on the morn
ing Of November'2s. in case the sup
posed identity between the comets Of
Holmes and Bella proves to be ! fact.
The observations at present are insult
cient 10 demonstrate this Indemnity
beyond doubt.
The Holmes comet was observed at
the Dudley Observatory on the night
Of the 18th, The diameter Of the
nebulosity is about one-seyenth of a
degree. There is well-marked though
faint central condensation, but no APP
pearance Of a solid nucleus. Assum-
ing as results from the calculations,
that on that night the comet was Is,
5O0,O00 miles distant from the earth,
the diameter Of the outside nebulosi-
ty Of the comet would be about SO.
900 miles.
It is probable that the comet will
rapidly grow in brightness and that
within two weeks it will appear many
times larger than the full MOON. No
really accurate calculations as to the
nearness Of approach between the
comet and hearth ON November 26th
can be made until a: much greater
number Of observations have been
procured. The time win also be too
short for thorough and adequate cal
culations before the day Of nearest APP
proach.
The comet can now be seen through
small telescopes, and win be found
labout two degrees west Of Andromeda.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WEDDING
FESTIVITIES NINE PEOPLE
PERISH.

MADRID, Nov. Ia sad story 81
the fatal interruption Of wedding fes-
tivites is reported from Bejar, a town
forty>five miles south Of Salamanca.
Al yonng couple had just been married
in the church there and the wedding
party had gone to a restaurant, where
q wedding feast was served. After the
banquet dancing was begun and every
thing was progressing smoothly, wher,
suddenly and without an instant's
warning, the walls Of the building col
lapsed. The entire party. together
with the employees OF the restaurant,
were buried in the ruins. A crowd, at
tracted by the noise Of the falling
building, quickly gathered and the po-
lice, who hastened !. to the scene, had
no difficulty in obtaining volunteers
for the work Of rescue.
From amid tho debris means and
heartrending cries for help could be
heard issuing. Crowbars and axes
were soon obtained, and in q few min
utes the work Of clearing away the
wreckage was begun, As rapidly ps
possible, and spurred on by tile frantic
appeals for help, the men threw the
heavy timbers aside. They soon came
across the terribly crushed and mang-
led body Of one Of the wedding guests.
Soon several persons who had been
caught by the falling timbers were
taken out alive, but badly injured.
When the wreck was cleared away
sufficiently for il to be known that nc
one else was in the ruins nine bodies
were lying in . CHASTITY row on The
sidewalk. Tho injured numbered
thirty, some Of whom, II is thought,
will not recover. Others will be Grip.
pied for life. The disaster has caused
general gloom in the community. The
building was thought to be perfectly
safe. 1t is supposed that the move
ments Of the dancers were responsible
for the collapse.
