THE PATJIFINDER ,
Its Path Traced No Further
Than Lake Michigan.
Grave Apprehensions of the
Fate ot Wise and Burr.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat , Oct. I.
\ The passengers in the "Pathfinder , "
Prof. Wise's trans-continental-bound
balloon , which left Lindell Park at 5
o'clock Sunday afternoon , are still un
heard from , and the probabilities now
seem to be that they have met as sei.-
aational a fate as that which overtook
Prof. Donaldson and Grimwood , the
young journalist , who bc it four
years ago left Chicago fOrvauTurriel
trip , and of whom nothing was ever
found or known after lsave a decom
posed and mangled iody thrown up
by the waves on the Michigan shore
and recognized as the remains of poor
Grimwood , and some fragments of
balloon netting And tattered muslin
all that were left to tell the tale of a
perilous vojage that ended in death
and disaster to the two men who ven
tured their lives in the mid-air ship
that was was wrecked on the lake erin
in the pinenes. The victims of the
latest aeronatic adventure , if
they should turn out to be
victims , as present circumstances
strongly indicate they are , are Prof.
John W. Wise , and Mr. Geo. Burr.
The manner of their departure from
terra firma was explained at length in
Monday morning's Globe-Democrat ;
( ho breakage of the netting ; the char-
aoier of "the ballon material ; -the
quantity of the gas ; the peril of
tnac surrounded the space
whence the air ship made its initial
spring ; the conjecture * of the multi
tudes who witnessed the ascent as to
the probable result of the trip , and
& * - the fortunate escape of the amateur
aeronaut of thia paper , who didn't ge
up , for no other reason in the world
than that there was no room for him
all these facts were pleasantly al
luded to and set forth ; but now it be
comes the duty of the chronicler to
deal with the subject with a sterner
and .more sympathetic pencil ,
aid to preface his gloomy in
ferences with the hope that , in the
end , all may turn out for the better ,
and that the Professor and his com
panion are still in the land of the
living with every prospect of coming
back to greet their friends again in
the flesh. After the "Pathfinder"
iras loosed from its moorings it took
its final departure from view m a
northeastern direction ; since then it
was heard from at several points along
this line , the last point of view report
ed in a special to thia paper , being L
porto. Ind. , when it was noted as
heading for Lake Michigan , and so re
ported in yesterday morning's Globe
Democrat. Since theu not a word u
information has been received in this
city , either by Mr. Mabley , the cloth
ier , with whom Prof. Wise was to
communicate as soon as possible after
his landing , or by Mr. Burr.President
of the St. Louis National Bank , to
whom Mr. George Burr , a relative ,
was to telegraph his safe landing
at once. Mr. Burr and Mr. Mabley
are
BOTH APPBKUENSIVE
that the balloonists are' ' lost , and
those of the public who have inter
ested themselves to inquire into the
matter have also made up their minds
that St. Louis is to be entered in the
great record book of disasters as the
startiug point of a balloon ascension ,
the result of which must remain
mystery until accident or long re
search is pleased to reveal it. Many
of those who saw the "Pathfinder '
leave Sunday afternoon predicted
that it would not be an ordinary bal-
Ifton voy&ge. The balloon in the
first plce was not of the capacity ,
even \rhon sufficiently filled , for such
an extended trip as Prof. Wise an
nounced that he intended to make ; in
the next , it was not more than hall
inflated when cut loose ; and , finally ,
it was not provided with sufficient bal
last , tackle , provisions or any of the
ordinary contingencies of an extended
trip through the upper air. The ar
rangements altogether were apparent
ly on a scanty and incomplete scale ,
and , with the experience which Prof.
Wise's years gave him reason to claim ,
it certainly afforded an opportunity
for questioning the preparations for so
extensive a trip as was announced.
Indeed , The Globe-Democrat reporter
who writes this article has made an
ascension which did not involve much
more than a trans-Mississippi journey ,
in broad daylight , in a larger , better
and stronger ballon and the appoint
ments for that ascension were of a far
superior character to those of Prof.
Wise's last Sunday. Add to this that
the balloonist always dreads the dark
for a descent ; that the dark is unfav
orable to anchoring a balloon , the de
scent being , even in daylight , the most
difficult and dangerous part of the trip ,
and the reader will understand that
Prof. Wise and his companion , in their
insecure air-ship , that could not yossi-
bly remain up for twelve hours , if in
deed it could sail for that length of
time , had a terrible death staring them
in the face from the moment the
MOHT CLOOD SHUT OVEE THEM ,
and that their escape was only a ques
tion of miracle , and of the most ex
traordinary sort of miracle at that.
A report was on the street , yesterday ,
that a balloon had been brought into
the city by one of the express compa
nies. AB this seemed to furnished a
. clew to the aeronaut , a Globe-Demo-
Vrat reporter visited the various ex
press companies in the city , but ascer
tain that the rumor was unfounded ,
and that it was only one of the many
flippant assertions that were made in
regard to the balloon and balloouists.
Mr. Mabley'a store was again visited
at a late hour , and Mr. Burr was also
sought , but both gentlemen were as
ignorant as the rest of the public ,
although they expressed themselves
that they \rould certainly be in pos
session of information if any were to
be had , in regard to the voyageurs.
Every possible source of news was
scoured by the reporter , but in Tain.
No one knew anything , and almost
everybody had given up all hope all
united in the apprehension that the
two men are lost.
The theory that they fell into Lake
Michigan and were drowned is not be
lieved , and the latest solution is that
they descended at night in the piner
ies in the north of Michigan , where
they are now , either dead , or maimed ,
or wandering aimlessly in search of an
opening toward life and civilization in
those wild woodlands.

Fierce Mfrhttngr in Louisiana.
New Orleing tpecial to The Globe-Democrat.
The fiercest fight within the Demo
cratic party ever known is now going
on between the supporters of Wiltz
and Ogden , the rival candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination by the
State convention which meets at Baton
Rouge on October G. Each faction is
striving to carry the primary election
on the 3d , and every means is being
used to that end. Wiltz is the repre
sentative of the local ring which con-
troll all offices and carry all elections.
Ogtlen is best known as the
leader of the White League on the
14th of September , 1874 , when the
Kellogg government was overthrown ,
and on the" 8th of January , 1877 ,
when Nicholls was installed into the
executive chair. The bitterness be
tween the factions in something unequaled -
qualed and liable to split the party.
Already a number of street fights have
occurred , during which pistols were
fired and knives used , but without se
riously injuring any one. Late on
Saturday night a man named Pat
Tracy , and a strong Ogden man , was
waylaid and cruelly beaten by a mob
supposed to be acting in the interest
of the other factioi. In consequence
of these affrays the community has
become alarmed and the gravest fears
are entertained of an outbreak before
the primaries come off.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE REPORT
from the tax on the capital of banks
and bankers , other than national and
savings banks , has declined very much
for some months. The Treasury
officials think the banks deliberately
evade the law. Certain wealthy New

in Europa , are suspected of managing
their affairs so as to rharge all their
capital to Iheir foreign branches. In
their returns to the internal revenue
collector they jstate , therefore , that
they have no capital and thus evade
the law.

Failure of the Government to
Pay Its Debts the Cause
of the Outbreak.
List of Officials at White Hirer
Agency.
Associated Press Dispatch.
DENVER , October 2. The causes of
the Ute outbreak , as stated .from
Washington , are a mistake. There
has been no encroachments on their
reservation. Prospectors never went
to Washington to urge Congress to
disregard the treaty. The northern
Utestwho attacked Tturnburgh , were
iioY interested in the demand of the
Los Pines Utes. The cause of the
outbreak was probably s
failure of the government to pay
87900 due under the Brunet trea
ty of 1873 , by which the San Jose
mining region was ceded by the Utes
to Colorado. Congress and the Colorado
rado people have never asked the
transfer of the Utes to the Indian
Territory.
The tollowing is a list of those at
White River Agency , probably : Agent
N. 0. Meeker , wife and daugnter ; Jo
sephine Agreventy , Frank and Henry
Dresser , E. L. MansfieldW. H.Post , ,
Mr , and Mrs. Price and two childaen ,
Fred Shepherd , Geo. Eaton and a

POLITICAL PREDICTIONS.
Prospects of tbe Eepubli-
can Ticket in the

A Fauorable Outlook for the
Man on Horseback.
Secretary Evarts Interviewed
Concerning the English
Mission.
Washington Special to tbe Globe-Democrat.
A prominent Government official ,
who has spent several weeks in New
York , said to-day that the political
situation in that State was all that he
as a stalwart Republican could wish ;
that the defection of Curtis will not
seriously affect the result , as , after a
careful survey of the ground , he could
find nothing to warrant the belief that
Mr. Curtis would be able to carry
more than
thanA
'
A CORPORAL'S ODARD
with him ; that he was aware that ho
perhaps felt more interest in the suc
cess of Cornell than was to be expect
ed from an official under the present
administration , but he found that
New York Republicans , while taking
very little interest in the many plans
of the administration for the political
advancement of some of its members ,
were thoroughly in earnest in
securing the election of Cornell ,
even at the cost of sacrificing a few
aspiring reformers , or crushing the
Presidential aspirations of gentlemen
who thought a Democratic Governor
at Albany would leave them more
room for manipulating a boom ; that
the election of Cornell meant that the
New York delegation to the Republi
can convention of next year would
cast their votes for the "silent man , "
whose name is a tower of strength
among the Eepublicans of the Empire
State.
THE ENGLISH MISSION.
Secretary Evarts attention having
been called to the reportthat the Pre
sident contemplated offering the Eng
lish mission to Gen. Grant , he stated
that his first knowledge of such a de
termination was from newspaper tele
gram ; that he had had several con
versations with the President regard
ing the filling of the mission.
Grant's name had never been men
tioned in that connection with
it , and he did not believe
that the President had ever entsrtain-
ed an idea of tendering it to him.
The Secretary also prnopunces as
absurd and ridiculous the statements
sent from here that he himself was
considering the propriety of accepting
this position. The name of the gen
tleman to whom the English mission
will be offerred will not be made pub
lic until after the fall elections , as he
particularly desired that no mention
should be made before.
