Of January. 1879. the defendant COM
mitted adultery in Carson City In Q
building known as ellison & BARRIERS
building. on Main street, with q woman
whose name Is to the plaintiff unknown.
The plaintiff alleges also cruel and In
human treatment and that for three
years past the defendant has completely
ignored the plaintiff. giving her no At
trntion or consideration whatever and
has openly sought the company Of
women Of bad reputation and immoral
character and treated such women with
more consideration than he has the
plaintiff; aud she also alleges that for
three years he has not lived and cohsb.
tied with the plaintiff and has conducted
himself In such q manner that the
plaintiff is satisfied that he does not dc.
sire to live with her as her husband, and
she believes he has conducted himself as
Aforesaid for the purpose OF satisfying
tho plaintiff that be did not desire to
live with her.
That during the said time the defend.
ant has been 10 the habit Of correspond.
ing with one Sadie Marks OF San Fran

abusive and malignant language. calling
her a reptile aud saying in one OF his

agreed to separate and then asking:
"'why does she (meaning the plaintif)
follow our path like . hound2" and
again, saying: "She (ths p~laintiff)
knows full well that I can never more
DO anything to her but = stranger. Pride
would prompt her (the plaintif) to
8, yer the connection as soon as possible
under the circumstances, but pride she
has nome nor never had. All her actions
seem to be prompted by malice. Why
sssail you and your friends In such q
hsartless manner2 She told me when
We separated that II was better for both;
that I loved you. and she hoped I would
marry you and DO happy"
The plaintiff further alleges that de.

The Missing BaIIoonlsts.
Ney York Tribune, Oct. Z.

John Wise, Jr.. a grandson OF the
seronaut, was present ct the recent a.
cent In st. Louis. aud as yet has NO
great anxiety for the fate OF bis grand.
father. He writes to his father In Phil.
adelphia that Professor Wise wat very
much fatisued at the time the balloon
went up, and says he believes that 1t
came down In some forest when the Pro-
lessor was asleep, or that he 10 lost on
some Michigan prairie. The balloon was
In good order. II Professor Wise. and
BUR, the bank teller. are on Q prairie,
they will. In the nature Of the case, DO
some time in getting out. They had .
compass with them and plenty OF
matches. By means OF berries and
game, which abound In Michigan, they
might live In Q forest several weeks.
Az each day, however, makes II more
probable that Wise and his companion
have been lost. the disaster recalls the
similar fatal ascension OF Donaldson,
and the strange pamphlet which Wise
published O year after the death OF that
daring seronaut. This purported to bs
from the diary Of Donaldson on the
voyage, but VAS written BY Wise from
bis " experiences, and bis oonjeo.
lures OF what Donaldson and his hap.
less companion, Grimwood, might have
said. Il seems c~uriously to forecast the
fate which has probably overtaken the
writer. Wise dedicated this pamphlet

who, In other words, essay to fly with.

And these ara the last words which his
imaginary Donaldson put upon paper.
before Hinping the bottle from the bal.
loon over Lake Michigan: "In the end.
