New York Election Bets.

New York, Nov. 3.-The odds in the
election betting in Wall Street this
afternoon jumped to the unprecedent-
ed figures of to on Dix. Just be-
fore the market closed, after day OF
brisk betting, two wagers were re-
;corded-one of IS, 900 to $4,000 and the
other Of 81, 900 to $1,000. This breaks
the record in the arfnals of betting on
elections in New York.
EARLY in the afternoon the ODDS on
Dix had mounted steadily until the
figures were Ia to /. A broker VINO

$1,000 to $500. This was a record, ana
it was not expected that the ODDS
would climb further. Even at 10 l
the Stimso,l men were not any 100

The betting on the plurality figures
also reached record when member
Of the exchange made two bets OF
$1,000 and Of $1,000 at even money
that Dix's plurality would be more
/ than 100000.
One broker, who had about s82, OOe

to remain at home today for fear or
some untoward happening for which
Halley's comet may be responsible. Ply
sicians were appealed TO by their pa
tients for specifics TO ward OFT the
dangerous gas which they suppose will
envelope the earth when it passes
through the comets tail.
Priests and ministers were besouSht
by their parishioners for words of com
fort to help them through the ordeal
through which they believe they are
about To pass.
Among the colored population the
coming Of the comet is received with
much superstitious dread. Little faith

that the tail of the comet not only

curved, and this long brush VIII not

ASTRONOMERS ONLY FEAR,
It Is That Earth Will Slip Through
Tail Unobserved.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, May "Astron-
omers have one fear concerning the
comet" said Prof Edward c. Pickering.
director of the Harvard Observatory.
THAT is that the earth may slip through
the comets tail this evening without their
noticing 1t.
There is absolutely no danger 10 the
earth from the passage. The transit Will
start at 1870 clock tonight, but may be
gin a few minutes earlier or later il the
tail of the comet is curved. The transit
will have been completed by HAS pm
and our anxiety does not run To fear OF
human extinction. but that the comet
will lose some of its brightness by its
contact with the earth. We are taking
every prccaution at the observatory TO
have our instruments in readiness To rr-
cord the minutest action Of the comet.
We do not expect to photograph IT..
though. until later i'll the month.
IF the weather conditions are favorable.
Thursday evening Haley's comet and its
tail should be in view shortly after sun
set. | expect that the most valuable OBJ
servations of the comet in this country
will be made in the Yerkes and Lick OBJ
servatories in the west. where the chances
offered for observation are better.
