Charged with Professional Misconduct-A
Ruio Issued Against Him.
Last Friday, before tho Court In General
Term, Mr.. Henry W. Garnett. chairman Of the
committee on grievances Of the Bar Associa-
tion, submitted report from that body, com.
planning of professional misconduct on the part
of Colonel Mike Thompson. The report Is
based upon an investigation Of the committee,
which resulted In an exposition Of the follow
ing facts: In January, 1868, Mr.. Thompson
made nino promissory notes to tho order OF
John o. Eyaus-ono for Sl,700, and eight for
Sl77.3i each, and secured the same by deed Of
trust on his property on Massachusetts, avenue,
to Clifton HELEN, trustee. Tho Sl,7O0 note
was transferred by John o. Evans TO Mrs.
Adams. On June 10, 1876, Mr. Thompson,
having settled with Mrs. Adams executor,
procured tho appointment Of Ezra l.. Stevens
rs trustee In the place of Clifton HELEN, de-
ceased. On June IL, 1876, Mr.. Thompson pro.
| cured from Stevens n release of the deed OF
trust without the knowledge Of Mrs. Wallach
| (who held the eight smaller notes., no one
| signing the deed of release as holder of the
matter secured. In May, 1877, Mrs. Wallach
threatened to order sale of the property, and
Mr.. Thompson requested delay, promising
early payment. This was repeated in June and
July, lSU. In January, 1873 Mrs. Wal
lach filed n petition in the suit of Mrs. Adams
executor, against Michael Thompson ct al
| praying that the trustee lStcvens) be removed
alleging that he had refused to sell. Stevens, in
his answer to the rule, stated that his only rca-
son for not selling was that Mr.. Thompson told
him that the debt was paid This portion of
Mr.. Stevens answer Is in Mr.. ThOmpson's
handwriting. Mr.. Thompson, in his answer
under oatR, denies his indebtedness. The
grievance committee of tho Bar Association
were directed to present these facts to the Su-
prome Court, and tOask its proper action in the
premises. This being DONE the court ordered
that a rule issue against Michael Thompson to
show cause by the next term Of the court why
action should not be taken by the court oil the
information. II is doubtful If the rule will
ever reach Colonel Thompson, as when he was
last heard from he was heading West In search
of the Rocky Mountains.

Professor Harris Signal IinIInons.

Immediately after the conclusion of the per-
formance given by tho Coup show, last Satur.
day night, Professor Harris sent up ono of the
balloons for which he has become famous. \
large paper balloon, about fifteen feet il cir.
Cumferencc, was inflated, after which tail
similar to that of u kite was attached on
which were strung various pieces Of fireworks.
Tho first shown was dctonating bali, which
exploded when the Wrial ship had attained u
height Of about 30 feet. This was followed
by n mctcorr shower, which evoked loud ap.
plausc from tine crowd. Thea came a stream
of fire similar in appearance to the tail of II
comet, which took various directions The
next noticeable object was u parachute,
which dropped from the balloon and
seemed TO stand perfectly still. While in
this position series Of red, whito, aud blue
lights slowly descended forming beautiful
spectacle The last sight shown was numerous
rockets, which exploded with load report
The balloon took nOrthcaStcrly course and
was watched with great cagcrncss by crowds
Of spectators in every part of the city until il
assumed the appearance of "a star in the lirna.

a number Of scientific gentlemen present for
the successful and beautiful experiment, and
