AN INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR JOHN WISE -
WHEN HE WILL START = HE MEANS TO ao-HE
WILL REACH EURoPE-BUT HOW
In Philadelphia, yesterday. We met Professor
John Wise, Of Lancaster, Pa, the great @ror-
naut, who, with Wash. Donaldson, of Reading,
proposes to go to Europe, in the Graphic Bal
loon. Mr.. Wise ia not balloonatic, at all he
is solid, quiet, unpretentious, phiosophic gem
tleman, OF about fifty-Ave, with thin gray hair
bushy whskers and heard, we'll mixed with white.
spectacles surmounting strong nose, and
slightly "heavyN of hearing.
Professor Wise means business. He says he
will start for Europe, sure he Will get there:
beyond reasonable donbt; but whether he Will
go all the way in his balloon remains to be seem
The balloon is being made in eight sections.
Tomorrow, wednesday, he returns to New
York. and will have the sections brought to-
gether, and the work OF uniting them COM
menced. The life boat is nearly finished; a., AZ
soon as 1t is painted and ready, he Will
try its qualities in the water.
He expects to start about the close OF this
month or beginning of next.
Since going to New York, on this business,
said the Professor have been carefully watch
ing the clouds, every day. In the upper air,
their general movement is all Eastward, though
VARYING slightly, in the morning toward the
North East and in the evening, SOUTHEAST.
The Professor, in his correspondence with
moves faster when the sun is not shining-that
il, at night This is because the motion OF the
air currents is less impeded by the attraction OF
the SUMS rays. He says the old lumbermen' on
the Susquehanna will tell you that their rafts
move faster at night than in the day time, and
the reason ascribed is the same al that men,
toned above-the absence of the sums attrac'
tion leaves the water move more freely. The
eaw-mill men believe that they can saw more
lumber under the same other conditions, at
night, than in daytime
These are singular facts in meteoroogy. Az

says it agrees with meteorological principles al

DESTRUCTION OF DAVIS sILLs SAW AND aRIsT

DESTRUCTION OF DAVIS snLs SAW AND dRIsT
MILLS.
On Saturday night last, the grist and saw mills
of Davis Sill, formerly known as Marshall's
Mills, located on the east branch Of the Red
Clay creek, near Longwood Meeting House, in
Chester county, were burned. During the after-
noon of Saturday Mr.. Sill had been burning the
debris around the mill in close proximity to it;
but kept constant watch over the fire, and
when he left in the evening he supposed the en-
bers were entirely dead. Such, however, seems
not to have been the case, for they communica-
ted fire to the mill and it, with all its contents,
was destroyed.
The mill was three-story building, the two
lower ones being Of stone and tho upper frame.
The loss will probable reach $4,000, upon whlch
Company.
The blaze from the burning mill was visible
for many miles, and was plainly seen at Green
Bank, on the W. x W. Railroad.

Alleged Outrage b = the Police.

HOW A GENTLEMAN SAYS HE WAS DEFRAUDED OUT
OF $40 BY POLICE OFFICER.
Mr.. T. W. Getty, a manufacturer of shirt pat
terms, doing business is this city, claims to have
been defrauded out OF ten dollars by collusion
between officers of the law. We give his state
ment. but without vouching for it's accuracy we
can say, however, 1t is correct in some partlcn-
lars. for we have taken the trouble to partly
verify it, and certainly possesses sufficient I'M
portance to merit an investigation.
Mr. Getty says that on Thursday week last he
was brought before ESQ. Frazer by police office
Hettrick, without a warrant, and that the Squire
proceeded to question him, but not being
fully satisfied with what action he ought
to take in the case, he wrote short note
to Attorney General Lore, asking further
instructions. The note was placed
in the officers hands, and both he and Mr.. Getty
started for the Office of the Attorney General.
Just as they were about to enter the ONCE, Mr.
Getty says the officer inquired OF him why ne
did not compromise the matter with Esquire
Frazer; that he replied he did not know It could
be- done; that upon being assured that 1t could
be- he returned and asked OF Mr.. Frazer whether
if he paid the fine he could go on with his busi-
meas without license; that Mr.. Frazer told him
no, and declined to accept the money which he
had proffered him; that he was referred to Mr.
Hattrick for settlement; that he paid $40 to MT.
Hettrick, but under protest, saying that ne IN
tended to collect the money again II possible.
Acknowledgement Lore alone, stated his case,
and that that gentleman informed him he was
not REQUIRED to take out license II his sales dd
not exceed $500 annually, He says he then
sought officer: Hettrick, who Lsgreed to return
the money. but could not at that time as he
had divided with "pard" and be must get it
back from him. Mr.. Getty says he has 81 since
learned that his,,.pard" az he calls him is Thos.
Hawkins, who received 50 90 for his services as
informant. Five dollars of the ten Mr. Getty
| saws have been paid back to him, withlwhich snm
officer Hettrck tried to pay him saying that he
Getty ought to be willing to pay sol something 2
| for the experience he had gained The othel
rs have not been paid yet. Mr.. Getty says, al
| though they were promised to be-.
Il seems to us that this is a matter which de-
mapds investigation MIR. Getty says he is in
| formed that MIR. Hettrick boasted after he had
pocBeted the money that he had Iaade $40 tha
| week, over and above his salary. There Is some
shadow of official corruption here, and we asl
an investigation.
