The Balloon Trip to the North Pole

Commander Cheyne has started
for Montreal by invitation of Sir
John Mcdonald and Sir Samuel
Leonard Tilley, to interest the Can
adian public in his scheme for
reaching the North Pole by bal.
loon expedition. The Commander
says that the expedition is to be fit
ted out by popular subscription. 1t
will cost $4,000, and $40, 600 is to
be raised in each country. The
three balloons. which will cost s20,-
900, will be made in England and
shipped to this country. New York
will be the starting point, and June
next the time. The expedition will
go to st. Patrick's Bay, 496 miles
from the pole, and when the right
wind comes along it is expected to
reach the pole inside of twenty-four
hours. Each balloon will be pro-
vided with a sledge-boat and pro-
visions for fifty-one days, and will
reel out telegraph wire as it travels,
keeping in communication with the
main station. The Commander an
ticipates no difficulty from the cold.
Orders have already been sent to
Greenland directing the authorities
there to aid the expedition in every
way possible.

Summary Punishment of Despera-
does.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 1S.-A special
from Leadville to the 1rs6uae says !:
The Independence mining camp, 20
miles west of here, has for a long
time been overrun with desperate
characters, who kept it in a perpetu-
al state of turmoil. Often several of
these would band together and vir-
tually take possession of the camp,
shooting men down in the streets.
and making it necessary for the citi-
zens toclose their stores and suspend
business for several hours. Shortly
after dark last night Patton and NAL
10y, two desperadoes having the rep
utation of killing number of men,
became intoxicated and began firing
revolvers promiscuously. General
indignation ensned, and the people
turned out en- masse and pursued
the desperadoes, who were finally
brought TO bay and literally riddled
with bullets They returned the fire
ofthe mob, but without effect A lit
tie later vigilance committee was
formed for the purpose of hanging
some of the worst blacklegs, but all
of that class left town Immediately
after the shooting of Patton and
Malloy.

The Cowboys Flight.

HUNNEwELL, Kansas, December
20.-The desperadoes who rounded
up" Caldwell have undoubtedly es-
capped. On Sunday night about
eight o'clock they come upon some
freighters and took five horses.
They also made them cook supper
and feed their horses before they
left. They exchanged these horses
for five others at q rancho below.
They had fight last night of Lang
ford's rancho, on Wagon creek
where they took some saddles. They
travel only by night. In the fight
at Dug Out, Jim Talbot had his
forefnger shot off, and Dug Hill
was shot in the heel. They are evi-

One of the most honored and able
judges of New England, Chief JUS
tice Gray, of the Massachusetts, Su-
preme Court, has been selected by
President Arthur to fill the vacancy
in the United States Court, caused
by the death of Justice Clifford.
The President is making a magnifi-
cent record for himself by the sort
of appointments he is making to
important public positions. In Sc
lecting material for the Supreme
Bench of late, Mr.. Arthur's prede-
cessors have picked out men better
known as politicians than anything
else. A finer appointment than
that of Judge Gray has not been
made in years. Boutwell, would
have undoubtedly have pleased the
politicians better, but the lawyers
and the people wanted i man chief
ly distinguished for his judicial at
tainments, and they have got such q
man in Judge Gray.

Dashed from . High Bridge.


ELMIRA, N. Y, December 3D.
Last night party of five left this
city to drive to Ridgebury, Pa, to
attend party. The night was dark
and stormy, and at Wellsburg, six
miles from Elmira, the double wa
gon containing the party was thrown
from high bridge, and the entire
party hurled sixteen feet into the
bed of the creek. The names of the
persons and their injuries are as fol-
lows: Leroy Horton, internally in
jured Edward Smith, tongue Bit
ten in two; Miss Nora Desmond,
thigh broken; Miss Nellie Howard,
skull fractured Miss May Dacey,

prrrsBuRG, Dec. 22.-This morn
ing at half past eleven o'clock, as the
driver Of Schmertz & Co.'S wagon
was coming over from the Peniteli-
tiary with a load Of boxes filed with
boots and shoes, a little fellow rush
ed up to him on the corner OF Penn;
avenue and Sixth street, and told
him that "a man jumped out OF o.
the boxes, and ran up the street q
fast as he coula go.n The driver
hastily made an examination OF his
cargo, and found that the top OF one
of his boxes had been knocked OH
as the boy had said, and that pair
of pants of the peculiar fashion
worn by convicts was lying in the
bottom. Word was at once tele-
phoned to the prison authorities to
Ilook if q prisoner had escaped,
and search at that place showed
that the prisoner known an number
6,S16 was missing. A fuller exami-
NATHAN led to the following disclo-
sures The driver employed to-day
by Schmertz & Co: for delivery ol
their load of boots and shoes at the
store in town was new one, and as
several convicts kindly volunteered
their assistance in helping him to
load. The offer was accepted, and
| it is altogether likely that some oi
the convicts helped the prisoner into
the box, and then gave him an ad.
vantageous position in the wagon
The prisoner must have had some
outside assistance, as he conld not
have nailed himself in such man
ner that the box looked as innocent
as it is possible for box of any de-
scription to do. When the wag-
on reached the corner of Sixth and
Penn streets, the prisoner, who had
meantime thrown the neither gar
ments that indicated his position,
struck out vigorously with his legs
and soon released himself from his
hampered position, and darted away
without attracting much attention
The box was about five feet long,
foot and half wide and two feet
high.
The name of the escaped prisoner
| is James w. Miller. He is describ'
ed as a man about five feet sever
inches in height. and weighed 135
pounds. Miller is one of the noted
Catfish robbers. who last March rob
bed an old man by the name Of
Connors and his wife at Catfish OF
the Allegheny Valley Railroad, oI
$1,000 or $4,000 in bonds, and
about the same amount of money
Miller was captured in July at the
Red Lion Hotel in this city. HI
was tried and sentenced to a tern
| in Penitentiary, and on the 31st o
last August commenced upon the
new confining life for which his ac
of to-day shows he had so much
aversion. Miller was quiet, some
what sullen man, but has the repu-
tation of being a very smart one
Just who were his confederat6s in
the scheme cannot be known, bu
it is probable he had assistance botf
without and within the walls of the
Penitentiary.

An Engine Takes n Plunge.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-As an engine
and pay car of the Northwestern
Railroad were nearing the bridge
across the north branch of the Chi
cago river near Fullerton avenue,
about noon yesterday, the bridge
swung open suddenly, and before
the engine could be stopped it
plunged with its tender into the wa
ter, the pay car barely escaping by
striking the bridge which had be-
gun to swing back. The bridge was
badly wrecked. ]. M. Leavitt, the
fireman, jumped from the engine
and swan out. Engineer w. B.
Wilcox was pulled out with his left
leg cut off below the knee. The
conductor was crushed to death be-
tween the engine and tender, and
his body is still under water. The
accident was caused by misunder-
standing Of signals.

Mr.. BREWSTER told the crowd OF
admirers of the Star route crowd as
sembled in Court, this little story Of
an officer in the Piussian service
who was short in his accounts:
"He was ordered before a court
martial. His father was rich and
powerful. Through his fathers in
fluence the proceedings of the court
martial were stayed, and through
his wealth money was supplied, SO
that the loss TO the Government was
made up, the young man acquitted
and his record left free of any stain
After the proceedings were termina'
ted the father took his son to his
room and said to him, as he handed
him loaded pistol: Your record
now is officially untarnished. You
know your duty The father left
the room, and moment afterward
the disgraced young officer blew out
his own brains" Mr.. Brewster, fol
lowing this effective story, drew an
eloquent picture.
