The Pranks of that Comet Are injc Them Tired. The astronomers, it seems, begin ning to be puzzled by the strange conduct of the comet to Andromeda, which they at first supposed to be Blela's comet, and which was advertised to give us a fine pyrotechnic display on the night of the 27th. Professor Lewis Boss, of the Ludley Observatory at 'Albany, is now reported as saying that he is satisfied that the. celestial wanderer with the nebulous caudal appendage is not only not the Biela comet, but is not even traveling In the track of the Biela comet, as was at first by some astronomers. Moreover, Professor Boss says that while he has not been able as yet to fix the orbit of; the comet, he is satisfied that instead of approaching the earth at the rate of 700 miles a second, and being only 11,006,600 miles away Friday night, the comet Is actually "going away from the earth, and about 350,000,000 miles away.

As far as he can ascertain at present the comet is a new one and is uainpwn to astronomers. On the'other Swift, of Rochester, telegraphs tie following under date of Snaday:" "The Biela Tconiet was.seeu last'evenlng at the Warner-Observatory for the fourth It since discovery.moved-but- very little-, and, as it is increasing ia size, it Is ap- I Reception by a Sunday Scnool.

"From the most reliable" sources," he would seem that the correct conclusion is that the comet has past the pbiatwhere it is aear- est to the earth aad is BOW recedlnjj from us. Professor Boss aad Prof. G. M.

According to his calculations comet passed its perihelion about two months ago at a distance from the SUB about twice that of the earth and is aow farther from, as than the sua is, and Is receding from us aad from the SUB. "It may alaobe remembered," Professor Searie says, "that a week ago the comet could be easily seea by the naked eye, but is aow visible only with some difficulty." Athletic Sports.

HOCCK. Dr. Henry J. Houck, a prominent Baltimore physician and an ex-member of Baltimore City Council, whose, city residence is on Pennsylvania avenue, died very suddenly at Ocean City Wednesday, from taking a dose of bichloride of mei- cary in mistake for chloral. On Thursday Dr.

Houck, who has a residence In Snow Hill as weil as in Baltimore, in company with Wm. Sidney Wilson, went to Ocean City on a gunning expedition for several days. On Monday he complained of stomach trouble and insomnia and informed Mr. Wilson that he did not feel well enough logo out gunning, so Mr. Wilson went out alone.

On his return at night, not finding Honck any better, he proposed going home', bat Dr. said that nothing was the matter with Mm but a slight attack of biliousness, and that they should remain until Wednesday and shoot. On Tuesday morning he got up and dressed himself, but din not feel well enough to accompany Wilson up the bay. Shortly after noon Dr. Houck went down to the Atlantic Hotel, where drugs sold during the summer months.

Mrs. William Warrington was in charge of the hotel, and Dr. Honck informing her that be was a physician and wanted to get some medicine for himself, she went to the drug department: with him. He asked her to get him the bottle of chloral. She udd she did not know the bottle, but handed him a bot le labeled hyd.

chlor. cor. He said he could not see very well, gave the bottle a glance, said it was aU right and then took a dose of the drug, wrapping up more 'of it In paper and. taking it with him. Returning to the Wilson cottage he told William Berry, a colored man from Snow Hill, who had accompanied the party on the trip, that he had taken a dose of medicine at the drug store, which was burning his mouih terribly, and asked for soda.

After sitting around for a few minutes he said he would go to his room and try and get a little sleep. la about one hour's time Berry went up to the Doctor's room aud found him dead. A boat was Immediately dispatched for Mr. "Wilson, who hurried to Ocean City and "a m- menced an investigation of the cause of his friend's death. Mrsl Warrington showed him the bottle which Dr.

Houck had taken the medicine from, and he -saw that in the dim- light instead- of taking chlor. hyd. he had taken cor; Mr. Wilson went to- Berlin and" from the druggists there learned 'that the medicine taken by 'Dri Houck was deadly poison.
