New York. Nov. S.-The election in the four counties that make up the city of New York resulted in the election of ev- cry Democratic candidate on every coun- ty ticket except John Morissey Gray, Democratic candidate for register in Kings.

A MYSTERIOUS AMERICAN.
Lives on an Island All Alone On the
Mexican Coast.

Lives on an Island All Alone oH the
Mexican Coast
From the Two Republics.
There are some queer freaks In tlls
world" said visitor from the interior last
night. ''and one of them lives over on the
west coast of Mexico. He is an American,
according to all reports, but so far no one
has succeeded in penetrating the mystery
that surrounds him. Down toward the
isthmus, not far from the mainland. is
small island, and 1t is on this that the
American lives Very few people knew
how long he has been there. The Indians all
know him, but none of them can tell any
thing about his first coming. Hs has re-
sided on the island for so many years that
he has become as much of fixture as the
rugged rocks that. stand out on tho coast.
Il saw him once on the mainland as he
came to a little village to procure supplies.
About four times year he makes trip to
some village on the mainland to buy such
things as he needs. He never has anything
to sell, and always pays in gold dust, the
origin of which is as much of mystery
as the man himself. His appearance is
patriarchal now. His long gray beard,
white hair and wild look make him an OBJ
ject of great curiosity to a stranger. He
speaks Spanish brokenly, but with an ac-
cent that does not betray his nationality.
His complexion is dark. probably due to the
rays of the sun. but he has certain air
about him that indicates that he is not a
Mexican.
There has often been much speculation
as to where his gold came from. Many
think he has secret mine on the island
which he, from time to time, works. Ex-
plorers who have visited the island, how
ever, report that 1t is barren, and gives no
indication of mineral deposits. 1t is said
that the old man lives in a cave in the
rocks, and that his food is birds and fish
He is well armed. and always buys consid-
cradle ammunition on his trips to the main
land. number of times people have tried
to draw him out, but he refuses to talk of
his past or present mode of life and such
attempts are seldom made now. He is Tn
tirely alone on the island, and seems to
love his solitude. His trips to and from the
island are made In an old ships boat
which he has had ever since the present
generation has known him. His expert
handling Of the sails and oars leads soma
to believe that at ons time he was q sailor
Many think that he Is the sole survivor
of shipwreck that occurred on the coast
about forty years ago. Among tho legends
of the coast Indians is one which tells of
the wreck of big ocean vessel one stormy
night and of the loss of every soul on
board. There is superstition that at
times this vessel sails along the coast at
night and finally strikes a rock and goes
down, just as 1t did so many years ago. 1t
Is said that the means and cries of the pas-
Sengers and crew can be heard at these
times. There are other people who say that
the old mans self-banishment is due to a
crime he committed In California But no.
body is sure and probably never win be.
Meantime the old man continues to lead
his mysterious life"
