A dispatch from St. Louis says 49,. The
friends Of Prof. Wise, The aeronaut were
thrown into state of intense excitement to-
day by the reception Of a letter from Zena
Fanner, Of Metropolis City, Illinois, including
a note which was found in a bottle at point
between Metropolis and Paducah, KY. The
note reads as follc%s:-
Pathfinder, OHIO River, Nov. 2, $50 p. m.
near Padueah, Ky.--Going at the rate of 65
| miles, southeast, per hour. P. F. in bad con-
dition. | am almost dead with exhaustion
and hunger. Eleven days since Burr's death.
Good bye. aas3'@"A ,hA f3ai 'a'ftf d WIsE..''
Those who are familiar with The missing
mans handwriting say that were it not for
the date OF the note and the locality in which
It was found, they would swear Wise wrote it.
He always capitalized the Pathfinder and it is
SO in the manuscript. 1t is not probable,
however that the siovy will be generally
credited.

council arrived during the day, and assem-
, bled in the Statebouse at four O'Clock. Il had
been given out generally through fhe State
that it would at once proceed TO open the
| returns. .,. 4..-.. ..... .r.'. .s.
| a: four o'clock committee of one from
each ounty vailed UPON he Governor, who
! was enabled % see them. as there would be
no session of the Governor and council .his
afternoon. A Subcommittee of three was
then appointed, and len9rhy consultation

TO be th! own out, because, as alleged, Two no
! tices of election instead of three Weie pos ed
throwing il oul. This would change The re
suit in York county by throwing out :le Re
publican vote and electihg three Democrats
members. A similar case is reported in th,
city of Auburn, where it's alleged notice o
election was posted for six days only insteat
| OF seven.
If this was throwl out it would change til,
vote in Androcoggin county. Similar chanc
es on alleged technical grounds will chang
the figures in the Stale Senate and give the
Democrats and Greenbackers 10 Senators, an,
| the Republicans II. The actual vote as cast
gives the Republicans 10 Senato and all 9th

new developments regarding the Southern
boom fo- Gram. The Tribune ridieules !
saying that large number of Southern Dem
ocrats are quoted as favoring Grants Candl

request TO have their names withheld. Thos
who allow their names to be given are un
doubleday mo>L estimable persons in their re
speclive localities, but the American publ
has now the pleasure of resting its eye upo
their names for the first time.
The Sur, has a long article on coun,e
scheme by Republicans to get rid of Grant a
together by giving him the Presidency of til
Inter-Oceanic Canal Company. This wa
originally engineered by Admiral Ammen
The suns article closes thus .sThere is
great intrigue going on to take Grant out {
politics. l know that some of Grants thir
term boomers are concerned about it. The
fear Grant may be caught in what they indis
nantly term sAmmen's fly trap and they hav
warned him that men who are englneerin
the job have always been his isenemies, throng
Ammen who is their tool"

nervous. He had heard a great talk. but Il
only conversation to which he co:lld swe,
positively, was that he heard Kellogg say tn
the House of Representatives of The Sta
Legislature,had gone Democratic. Blanchal
and Jewett visited kellogg frequently, ar
Blanchard told the witness that they We
working on the election returns. These pa
ties usually came in the back way. The GRO
examination showed that the Governor al
all who came in carriages, came IN the san
way, the Governors office being the most a
cessible by this ent: ance. The witness a.
lnitted he had tried to get place in the Gu
tom house, and friend of his had written
: letter to Senator Kellogg, to which tn. nan
of the witness had been signed, threatening
