CITY ITEMS.

About o'clock yesterday morning disturbance
took place at a disreputable house in Leonsrd-st,
kept by woman named Marshall, and Capt Csrpen-
ter and Officer Grvin were called in to eject The rot
ers. Upon entering the house Capt C. requested the
party to leave, but they refused, and one Of their
number, named George Haley, afrui. dealer at Wash
ingtoD market became very abusive, and faslly a.
sauted the Captain with knife, stabbing him twice
in the face in the groin and also in the abdomen.
The wounds in the face severe, bat the others
were slight. The de,perado also attacked Officer
Girvn but did not stab him. He was finally secured
and tax en- before Justice Bogart who held him TO bail
in 81, 500 to answer His brother, Jeremiah Haley,
Of Jersey City, became his bODdsman.
BALLOON Accession The finest balloon asceu-
sion ever witnessed IN this City, was made by Mons
Eugene Gsaard, from the Hippodrone, on Saturday
afternoon The balloon called "Kno w. Nothing"
40 feet high, 81 feet in diameter at the center Il6
feet in circumference comprising surface Of $40
square feet, with capacity Of 80 100 cubic feet, was
inflated by the Manhattan Gas Company, from two
Elk inch pipes, which process occupied about two
bODTs.
About Il o'clock Mons Gsdsrd made the necessary
preparation for ais arial fight by placing in the
car his cable graphing hooks, life preservers and
apparatus, besides quantity of ballast. He then
entered the car, attended by Messrs Mori, Cou,ant
and another gentleman whose name we did not learn,
and at the word being given the attendants released
TIE airy voyasers, when the balloon sscended with
majestic grace TO the blight Of abou. $50 feet. The
Ugh, wind that prevailed at the tine swept the bal
loon toward the westward. When passing over the
North River q quantity Of ballast was thrown out,
and the voysgers descended back Of Hoboken very
nearly TO the ground, but in few moments they
sgan aseended ana shortly sfterwsrd dsappearedin

There we're from 400 to 500 persons within the Hip

FIRES.

FIRE IN FRoST-sr. AND OLD SLIP.
About 81 O'Clock on Saturday night tire broke
out in the third floor of the store No. 70 Front.s,
corner of Old Slip occupied by Otis s. Skeel, whole
sale grocers. The firemen were promptly on the
ground and by their energetic action succeeded in
combining the fire to the story in which It origin
ated. The damage to the stock will probably amount
10 Sc 900 or So OO0 We understand that the firm is
insured, but what amount or in what companies we
could not ascertain The fire is suppos ed to have
originated near the hatchway, but how or in what
manner is unknown.
FIRE THE sIxTH-Ay.
About 10 o'clock Saturday night fire broke out in
the one-sory frame building No SAT Sxth-av, occu-
pied by Benz. Allen feed store, which was with
the stock, almost entirely destroyed. The flames
communicated to the building adjoining, occupied by
John Patterson a. paint store, which partially
destroyed and the stock greatly damaged. Loss Of
Mr. Allen, about $500; no insurance.
Mr.. Patterson ia insured $500 in the Pacific Insur-
AZ ce Co., which amount will cover his loss.
The fire was doubtless the work Of an incendiary.
