A new comet or something very like one of those erratic wonders, was observed in Washington and other places east, and also in various parts of Minnesota, on Monday evening. It is described as within easy range of a gun, so close was it to the earth. In shape it resembled a sky-rocket, only of far greater magnitude and brilliancy. The head appeared to be a ball of white fire about ten inches in diameter, followed by a fanlike tail of a golden tinge. It appeared to be about forty feet long. From the time it became visible it remained in view less than two minutes. It passed directly through space without the slightest deviation from its straight course, and with wonderful velocity.
