anu tuat III uhu oceh ohe
chief topic of conversation
upon European steamers at the
time. George g. Sickles, father of
General Sickles, when called upon
by reporter yesterday, indignant
ly denied the rumor of the elope-
ment by his granddaughter. He
said: "Every word of the report is
o falseho0d. Miss SickIes has been
an invalid for over two years. She
has had trouble with her brain; for
several months she has been sick
and under the care of a physician"
Wise. the Lost Aeroneui.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-A dispatch
from st. Louis says: The friends
of Professor Wise, the aeronaut,
were thrown into a state of Intense
excitement to-day by the reception
of letter from Zenas Tanner, of
Metropolis City, Illinois, inclosing
q note which was found in bottle
at point between Metropolis and
Paducah, Kentucky, on the Sd.
The note reads as follows:
"Path-Finder, Ohio River, Nov.
2-2:30 P. M.-Near Paducah, KY;
going at the rate of sixty-five miles
southeast per hour; Pathfinder In
bad condition. / am almost dead
with exhaustion and hunger.
Eleven days since Burrs's death.
Goodbye. WIsE.n
Those who are familiar with the
missing mans handwriting say
that were it not for the date of the
note and locality in which it was
found, they would swear Wise
wrote it. He always capitalized
the F in Pathfinder, and it is so in
the manuscript. 1t is not probable,
however, that the story will be
generally credited.
