Ballosning fer the North Pole.

Commander Cheyne of the British navy
who made three separate voyages to the Arc
tic regions IN as many Franklin search expe
ditions, arrived IN New York week ago to
work up interest in favorof scheme, of which
he is the originator, TO reach the north pole by
means of balloons. In lecture at Chickering
Hall he thus explained his project, to further
which he has come to this country;
He desired, he said, In company with Lieut..
Schwatka, who approves OF the project, to do
Whist has been deemed lmpossible-reach the
North Pole by means OF balloons His meth,
cd is to start out next spring with vessel
which will carry HIM to st. Patrick's Bay.
There a house Is to be put up aear q coal field
and provisions are to be slowed in cave in
the cliff Then three balloons are to be filled.
Each balloon is intended to carry three men,
sledge, EsquimauX dogs, provisions and in
struments Preliminary observations are to
be made at three different points to determine
the variations in the course Of the wind and
after the proper wind curve has been found
the balloons are to be released to drift toward
the pole, 406 miles away, AZ the rate of thirty
miles an hour Commander Oheyne believes
that the pole can be reached In from eighteen
to twenty four hours with one of the balloons,
the other two being left part way behind in
case of necessity land he asserted that proba
bllty is that after the vicinity of the pole has
been photographed, the successful balloon will
drift beyond the pole 10 the shore OF Russia,
where, on landing the trip can he continued
to ST. Petersburg, whence the news of the dis.
covery of the pole can he telegraphed to the
world within week of the event.
For this Anglo-American expedition Com
mander Cheyne wants $4,000, but he said
that he had announced thst he could carry out
the project with $4,000 by chsrtering YES
sci instead of buying one. Subscription lists
have been started In England, and he hopes
to get AID in this country.
| The lecture was based on IN imaginary trip
to the pole by the audience, and was lllustrst
ed by limelight views OF Arctic scenery aud
scenes of previous expeditions. Speaking OF
the jeanette, he said that he believes she has
not been lost He believes that she is drifting
with the pack ice In an easterly direction, and
that she will in time be reached by way OF
Smiths Sound, thereby meeting her instead OF
following her.

The Supreme Court of Vermont at Mont
peller, on the 10Th, overruled the exceptions
taken in the case of Emeline NJ. Meaker, of
Waterbury, VT, who had been convicted of the
murder OF an orphan girl 10 years old, in
April last, and the woman is to be hung:
The crime, for which a son OF Mrs. Meaker,
Almon Meaker, is already under sentence OF
death, was one Of the mbst horrible IN even
the criminal history of Vermont. The child
was halt.sister of E. G. heaker, the husband
of Emellne and was an inmate of their house
hold, where she WAS severely abused and
malueated, being treated, indeed, as a
slave by Mrs. Meaker and Almon. Almon
was half witted plant tool IN the hands of
his mother. Mr.. Meaker Is believed to be in
nocent Of all completely In either the abuse or
the murder of the child. The child was taken
from bed and dressed a sack was tied over
her head, and she was taken in wagon to 9
lonely spot in the woods, where a dose OF
srychnine was given her, and she was left tc
die IN swamp. The crime was conclusively
fixed upon the two wretched prisoners, and
nothing can now save them from the terrible
consequences.

Friday evening of last week a ball was given
at Kalser's Hall at 43d and State sts., and among
the invited guests was one johnson, butch
er In Fowler's packing house, who cast asper
sions on several young girls present, for which
he was rebuked by Billy O'Neil, another pack
ing house employee. Words between them
soon ran high, leading to an agreement forth
with to fight 1t out. Seconds and referees were
appointed, ring formed, and the fight com
menced. There is no need to disgust our
readers with the details of the first, second
third rounds, &c, the only one we need give
Is the seventh and last round
After being supplied with few sour mash
es O'Neil toed the scratch and displayed his
skill IN Il telling manner.
He led off with the right duke, and caugh,
Johnson on the left ear, which knocked him
to the ground, where he remained insensible
tor u few moments. Blood poured from his
ears and 1t was thought he would die. The
whole gang dispersed pellmell. 4 few OF
Mike McDonald's representatives beat hasty
retreat across the cabbage field, and walked
through the driving rain TO the city. Johnson
was conveyed in cart to physicians resi-
dence on ThIrtynInth and State streets, who
after hearing the affair, requested the reporter
not to dIvulge his name for fear of the law
An oplate was administered to johnson with
the greatest difficulty. 1t was subsequently
feared that the drum Of his ear was broken. II
such is the case death will result Johnson
was taken to his residence on Twelfth street.

Last Sunday night at Athens, Ohio, Chris

ragged the person of Mrs. Lucky. an old lady
Of 60, at Albany, in that county, and then
struck her over the head with an axe, suppos
ing he had killed her, was taken from his cell
IN the Jail by an organized mob and hanged
The sheriff had used precautions in guarding
the Jail, and was startled about o'clock in the
morning to find the place surrounded by au
organized body of some fifty men IN masks
The cell door was battered down by the moi
with Il sledge hammer, and Davis hurriedly
taken out They hurried HIM to the bridge
over the Rocking river, near by. On the way
he confessed his crime and pleaded piteously
for mercy, but the determined lynchers laugh
ed and scorned his cries while remembering
the mercy he had shown his aged victim. The
rope was thrown over timber IN the bridge
and Davis pitched of, falling distance of ten
or twelve feet The sudden jerk of the rope
almost pulled the head from the body, and he
died instantly. After heaping curses on the
distorted form the mob dispersed, leaving Il
mark to show that their work had been done
at 2 o'clock. The body was left hanging until
morning, and was then taken charge of by the
coroner

in systematic manner to relieve them Of

sacked the mail and took money packages,
several OF which, however, were overlooked.
A sack containing parcels amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars IN value was not disturb
ed, owing to the drivers statement that it con.
tained newspaper mail. They finally con-
cludcd their labors by searching parts inside
the coach where former passengers robbed
have succeeded IN hiding money before beng
commanded to get out, and were successful in
finding several sums. After this their victims
were allowed to proceed. Following is list
of the passengers, with their losses: John T..

The King of Ashantee, like his neighbor,
the despot Of Dahomey, is an adept at human
sacrifices but the latest exploit attributed to
him, Of killing 200 young girls in order to get
their blood for mixing mortar in the repair OF
building, is almost past belief. In civilized
countries, monarchs, 10 be sure, send tens OF
thousands OF young men Ia die on the battle
field, In order TO build up and cement their
power with warm blood, hut the barhariies of
the ruler Of Coomassie are at u different sort.
