THE MISSING BALLOON-Psof. Wise and his
Companion Believed to haze been Lost in Lake
Michigan.-A telegram from Chicago, Oct. 10th,
says: The statement that balloon was seen
yesterday at Albion, Mich, is discredlted here.
1t ives claimed that the air-sh1p was moving
over that place In a southWesterly direction at
rapid pace. kilograms to all towns lying
southwest OF Albion, beginning at South Bend,
Irdiana, and ending at Bloomington, Illinois,
brought responses In each case that no bal
loon had been seen at any of them. There
has been no ascension in this part of the United
States since the Wise party started, and the
balloon was visible there. IS consequently
doubted, 1t is believed that the last seen OF
Wise was by the railroad employees at MIXERS
Station, Ind, at midnight, thirty hours after
the departure from st. Louis, as the Sun has
been already informed. The wind was then
blowing gale from the southwest, and the bal
loon, II it ever passed over Lake Michigan, to-
ward which it was rapidly drifting, which Is
doubtful, must have gone to the vast wilder
nesses OF Michigan, or perhaps to Canada. The
absence Of news concerning the missing balloon
and its occupants, however, is accepted here as
conclusive evidence that they must have gone
down in Lake Michigan. If they had struck
land anywhere this side of the Georgian Bay
country they would have been discovered be-
fore this They might have been lost in Lake
Michigan without coming to the surface or
being discovered, as Donaldson and his balloon
have never been found, although it Is certain
that he persisted in the lake.
