COMET A BALL Of FIRE
STRANGE APPEARANCE AS
VIEWED AT BERMUDA,
Superstitious Negroes Thought the
Phenomenon Portended Some
Great Calamity.

NEW YORK, May 9.-Queer things
seemed to be going OH around Haley
comet about the time Of the accession
of King George V, according to observa-
tons i'm Bermuda, news Of which was
received here last night by United Wire
less from the steamship Bermudian, now
at sea.
According to the dispatch, Friday
night, the night of the death Of King Ed
ward and the accession of his son, the
comet became visible in Bermuda at 2
o'clock in the morning, and a decidedly
red tinge was noted in its tail. At 1890
that night the fort at Hamilton, Ber-
muda. began to fire a salute Of 1O1 guns
in honor of the new king. An interval
of two minutes elapsed between each dis
charge, and SO the final gun was fired
at .':Jc am. exactly.
Ball of Red Fire.
AS the report died away the observer
saw sudden f1aring up at the end Of the
comets tail. The head also glowed, q
ball: of red fire For five minutes the
phenomenon lasted and was seen by the
negroes at work on the docks. They were
overcome with terror. They fell on their
knees ana began I'D pray. 1uey tnOuSnt
that the end Of the world was surely
coming, and it was impossible to get
them to go on with the loading of the
Berfnudian.
Some of them connected the strange
light with the death of King Edward. 1t
showed, they declared, that war was sure
to break out in King Georges reign. and
that some great calamity would befall
the earth. They were speechless with fear
and worked themselves up in their par
So
frenzy. 1t was not till the comet had
faded from view and the daylight of Sat
urday had broken that they could be in
duced to go on again with their work.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

In filling an order for 1Oo shares OF
gas stock at today's meeting of the stock
exchange one of the brokers paid on
range of from 71is TO 7112 each lot cost
ing him an advance of an eighth of a
point. There was one seller, and he had
more of the stock for sale at the last
price. That was the asking price at the
close, with Ills the bid. a bid of 71la was
renewed for options, bat without result.
There was also a bid of 10 for 100 shares.
Gas stock has been perhaps the strong
est of the more active securities on the
LIST during recent days. when. owing main
ly to general conditions, market prices
have been crumbling away. The strength
OF gas is attributed to belief there is
to be another issue of securities of the
bond class which will be profitable to the
stockholders of record.
An Improvement is noted in the figures
for the 4 per cent bonds of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company, as
sales were made today at Sc and SOS.
There is not much demand for the stocks
OF the company.
