A 8 The Times, Saturday, July 19, 1879. MISCELLANEOUS CITY NEWS MR. BENNETT'S POLAR EXPEDITION. CAN OLD SEA CAPTAIN SUGGESTS THE USE OF BALLOONS FOR POLAR EXPLORATION. Capt.
Albert W. Lavender, an experieneed navientor, residing at No. 102 East Twenty-sixthpireet, has seen a great deal of rite in northern latiJades, and offers some original suggestions as to the manner in which a polar exploring expedition should be conducted. Capt. Lavender has recently inspected the Jeannette, formerly the Pandora, and, with thousand good wishes for the success of Mr.
Bennett's expedition, believes that he only expresses the opinJon of all experts in navigation when he prediets that failure is a foregone sonelusion. In the frat instance, said Capt. Lavender Inst evening, the Jeannette is pitogether too small for such purpose. Experisneed savigators, who have seen service in the northpro all agree in the justice of this criticism. Her size practically unfita from battling with lee-floes and ice-felde, although it gives some advantage in enabling her dodge and avoid the former.
Cireumpolar lice has certain crispnesS and brittleness of structure which not shared by our river. ice frozen at nigher temperatures. At the same thiekness more frangible, provided the momenlain and solidity of the impinging body are sufficient for the purpose of cleavage. He bas very little faith in rums for such a work, but believes, on the other baed, that a vessel should be very heavy and propelled, with tremendous momentum, to afford any reasonable prospect of breaking through an ice-field. Of course, some form of ice-cleavage must be under.
taken in such a case, but a ram projecting forward to any distance would not, he thinks, contribute to The Jeannette's engines are also insamtent for the work, yieiding but a moderate speed and momentum per horse power, and consuming right tons of coal per day with very indifferent resnits. she can carry only 130 or 135 tons of at most, she must replenish the stock every 16 lays in order to keep in good working condition. 1 steamer of less than 800 tons, with an outfit for Three vears, was, he thinks, the smallest that should jave undertaken this enterprise. But, above all, or rather with all these points nocomplished, few good balloons- compact, wellmade, adapted to endure great strain, and fitted tor sable ascensions of not than 1,500 feetshould have been included in the outfit. There are, pays Capt, Lavender, many clear, calm, moderately Favorable days for balloon ascensions in those recions.
A first -class aeronaut, at the elevation of 1,000 feet from the deck of a steamer, could, with good telescope, survey and map out the surrounding country for a distance of 500 miles, for it must be remembered that the curvature of the earth's sur. 'ace in the region of the Pole is less than in the nigion of the equator, and that one can see comparaLively a great deal further at a moderate elevation. From the most northerly outlook obtained by Polar expeditions heretofore, the Captain thinks it would possible to settle the vexed question whether there is an open Polar Sea by, means of balloon obpervations. Of course, it would require the services of an experienced telescopist and surveyor, as well as an experienced aeronsat. Again, if it should happen that man brave enough to try the experiment could be seeured, it would be feasible to make an ascension without cable, and attempt to survey the polar region from bird's eye point of view.
It is not probable that the upper strata of the atmosphere at the North are many degrees colder than they are here, if colder at all, and a balloon fitted for an extended voyage--one of 1,500 miles-would be nearly as sate a mode of Bransit across the Polar region 88 it would be for trip across the Atlantic. Possibly a little safer, for on the northern coast of Spitsbergen copious snow. storms come from the north, showing conclusively Shat at some point contiguous to the Pole the weather is warm enough to admit of considerable evaporation, and that there must be unfrozen panses of water, from the surface of which such evaporation takes place. Clearly, said Capt. Lavender.
good seronaut, assisted by competent optical observer, would have a good many possibilities in favor of his ascertaining and bringing back accurate tidings respecting the topography of the Polar regions. At least, cable ascensions would be a surer and more rapid mode of making reconnoissances than expeditions with dogs and sledges." Capt. Lavender will be remembered as the inventor of a valuable deep-sea explorer which attracted the attention of President Lincoln during the war, and was tested by Admiral Dahlgren, with remarka. ble success, for finding obstructions, detecting and exploding torpedoes, The invention created great deal of talk in naval eireles, and was found to and efficient surveyor of the shallow bottome of Southern bars and inlets. He says that, notwithstanding the expedition -left San Franciseo several days ago, it would be feasible for an nantie outfit to meet and join the expedition at Behring Strait.
THE BOARD OF APPORTIONMENT. APPROPRIATIONS FOR CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS-MONEY ASKED FOR SKATERS. A special meeting of the Board of Apportionment was held yesterday in the Mayor's the purpose of taking action on various requisitions for money that were received sinse the previous sion. resolution was adopted directing the Controller to issue $100,000 of bonds, in compliance with a call for that amount from the Trustees.o the Brooklyn Bridge. The following sums were then appropriated for the support of the charitable institutions named below: American Female Guardian Society, $877 71; Institution of Mercy, Association for the Reiief of Colored Orphans, $1.147 14; -St.
Stephen's Home for Children. $1,280 86: St. John's Guild Floating Hospital, $300; West Side Reliet Association and Sea-side Sanitarium, St. Joseph's Home, $5,000. A resolution was adopted providing for paying 561 to Mr.
William H. Ogilvie for rent of the premIses Nos. 216 to 226 West Twenty-third-street from May 1, 1876, to Feb. 17, 1878. The building was used as an armory by the Eighth Regiment.
A resoJution was also adopted making an appropriation of $18,000 to pay the claim of Robert T. Ford for rent of premises on Broadway, near Forty-fourth-street, used as an armory from May 1, 1876, to Jan. 1, 1878. A communication was received from Mr. James F.
Wenman, the President of the Park Department, which elicited a good deal of laughter. It was dated July 18, and it referred to the necessity of making proper provision for the accommodation of skaters on the pond in the Central Park next Winter. The communication says: "Ten years since a portable wooden structure was built and used in the Central Park in the Winter season as a skate-house-in the Summer season it was stored away for future use. By the lapse of time, and wear and tear incident to the putting up and taking' down, this building became so dilapidated that: it was with great difficulty made to approximate a place of shelter and waiting. room for the skaters last Winter.
For the accommodation of visitors to the Park this season a new structure will be necessary, and for whien a sum equal to $25,000 will be required. This department regrets that it has no moneys at its disposal for this purpose, and makes this representation of facts to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in hope that an appropriation will be placed at the disposal af the Department of Publie Parks for the erection of a new skate-building, without which visitors to the Park for the purpose of skating during the comIns season will have no Tax Commissioner Wheeler, the Seeretary of the board, said he thought the communication, could safely lie over until a cooler season. The Mayor and Controller agreed with the Commissioner, after which the matter was laid over. The board then adjourned. FUNERAL OF A VETERAN.

She bad been dispossessed on Wednesday last, and her household goods were removed to a dock at the foot of East Eleventh-street.
She had no money to pay any one to watch her elfeets, and late at night some thieves burst open the trunks and stole their contents. The prisoners were subsequently arrested, the property in their possession, by Ombeer Raduns, of the Eleventh Preeinet. This officer unaccountably absent from court yesterday, and the case had to be adjourned. Notification was sent to Police Head-quarters of absence, and the magistrates positively refused the application of the prisoners' counsel to go on without the officer, declaring emphatically that they would set up no precedent which would enable a policeman to shirk attendance at a trial after he had been properly summoned, It was said that Raduns in court, but left before the case was called without notifying anybody. His absence necessitates tie attendance of the crippled complainant again great personal inconvenience, and compels the oners to suffer imprisonment until Tuesday next: PURSUING A FAITHLESS LOVER.
MISS LOBE FOLLOWS MR. HUNSDON FROM ENG- LAND AND BRINGS HIM INTO COURT. Georgiana Gertrude Lobb, young Englishwoman, is suing William John Tagg Hunsdon for $25.000 damages in the Court of Common Pleas. She says in her statement of grievances that she is the daughter of the late Joseph Lobb, who was I Justice of the Peace and Deputy of Southampton, England. While visiting Chale, in the Isle of Wight, she met the defendant, Hunsdon, and was introduced to him.
He had the reputation of being very wealthy. They were thrown lato each other's society very often, and their intimacy ripened into love and a marriage engagement. Soon after the engagement Hunsdon came to New York. Miss Lobb's father died in 1876. leaving an estate which she was paid $5,000.
A short time Miss later Hunsdon returned to England, and at once gent Lobb (so she says in her statement) letters askher to name a wedding day within a week of the time at which he would meet her. She named the day, but when it arrived Hunsdon represented to that it would be better to defer the marriage ceremony, urging as a reason that if he became ther hasband then he would be held liable for certain debts which had been incurred by her brother. a spendthrift, as Executor of her father's estate. She believed him, she says, and consented to the postponement of the marriage. She subsequently gave Hansdon a power of attorney to manage her business affairs, and in Sep.
tember, 1876. while with him at Boulogne, she gave him $4.500 in trast. This occurred a few days previous to Hunsdon's second voyage to this City, whither Miss Lobb followed him. On her ar. rival here Hansdon made provision for her by pay.
ing her $10 a week. At his request she consented that he should use her money in carrying on the advertising sign business at Fulton Ferry. He agreed. she says, to pay her one-third of the profits of the business in addition to the weekly allowance of $10, but he has failed to keep his agreement. He did not visit her for a long time, and when she next BA him she reproached him and insisted that he should redeem his promise to marry her.
Hunsdon then told her he never intended to marry, and left her. She plied to a lawyer for advice. and an investigation was Instituted into Hanadon's life, which led to the discovery that defendant was a married man for six years, and had two children, the elder of whom was 5 years of age. The disappointed Miss Lobb then began her suit for damages, charging Hunsdon with breach of promise of marriage, and with general deceitfulness for a fraudulent purpose. Her counsel obtained an order of arrest against Hunsdon, but that order was yesterday vacated by Judge Lar.

City Judge Cowing, in the General Sessions Court, yesterday announced that he had decided to deny the motion for a new trial in the case of John Hope, convicted of robbery in the first degree, in having been implicated in the burglary at Manbattan Bank 27, 1878, when pearly $3,000,000 in bonds and securities were stolen. Hope was arrested by Capt.
Byrnes, of the Fifteenth Precinet, on Feb. 12, and was convicted June 21. He was then remanded, at the request of his sel, Mr. Charles W. Brooke, who wished to argue motion for a new trial.
The motion having been nied, Hope was yesterday broncht up for sentence. Assistant District Attorney Rollins having moved for judgment, Mr. Brooke said he had implicit confidence in the innocenee of his elient. Judge Cowing. in passing sentence, said: "John Hope you have been convicted of the grave crime of robbery in the first degree, and should be subjected to the most severe punishment.
You did not assist in plundering a rich man or a rich corporation of men-the popular idea of bank-but hundreds of poor men and women. In this view of your crime, who CAn measure its magnitude Who can tell how many of these poor depositors have suffered bitterly If we even begin to measure the extent of your crime in this light, It becomes appalling. It appears, also, that this erime was not your first. I deem it my duty to impose the heaviest penalty known to the law. The sentence of this court is that you be confined in State Prison, at hard labor.
for the period of 20 years. Hope, who is confident of obtaining a new trial, heard his sentence without the slightest emosion. FLEEING FROM CREDITORS ONLY TO DIE On Sunday last a German named John Lehle, who had been in. this country bat a short time, and about whom little or nothing was known, died suddenly of apoplexy At his boarding-house, No, 62 East Fourth-street. He was a stone-cutter by trade, but had not been able to get anything to do.
His body was removed to the Morgue to await the claims of relatives, and it lies there yet. Yesterday the Coroners' office receired a letter which had been delivered at No. 62 East Fourth-street for Lehie, and which bore A German post-mark. It was found to be from the dead man's wife, who is living at Geislingen, Wurtemburg. In it Mrs.
Lehle advised her husband that it was not necessary for him to flee to America from the German Police, as his bankruptcy was not so serious matter as he had believed. He might. she wrote. have merely gone to Switzerland and returned to his home with perfect safety after few days of absence. Mrs.
Leble also wrote that the sale of her husband's effects, which was made by order of the Bankruptcy Court, realized 6,500 florins, and she expressed great fear that her husband might die while in a strange country, and thus cAuse very unbappy future for herself and children. Mrs. Leble has been notified by the Coroner of the death of her husband. REVIVING THE PADRONE SYSTEM. Officer Chiardi, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, brought to Tombs Police Court yesterday a tiny Italian cripple, named Laverio Feletti, aged 13 years, and an adult Italian named Francesco Muzzo.
He arraigned the lind on a ebarge of vagraney, and the man for violation of the Padrone act. The parents of the lad made consid. erable money in this country some years ago, when the padrone system of begging was unchecked in this City, and returned to Italy with their gains. Recently they became anxious to make more money, and about a month ago sent Feletti to this country in charge of the man Muzzo. The two in Philadelphia from Europe on Wednesday and came on to this City on the following day, and began to beg at once, Muzzo sending the crippled boy from store to store in the Bowery begging pennies.
Officer Chiardi walked behind them and heard Muzzo order the boy in Italian to beg. He arrested both. said that Feletti was his brother, while the ripple declared Muzzo was his cousin. In the Police Station, however, they denied that they were relations. Justice Flammer committed the prisoners for amination to-day.
GETTING RID OF HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW. Frank Knauer, a shoe-maker residing at No. 180 Ludlow-street, made application to the Commis. sioners of Charities to take care of his mother-inlaw, Maria Fortsch, Aged 40 years, who is insane. Knauer paid her passage from Germany to this country, and she arrived on the Rhein a little over a week Ago.
His story is that she was all right until six days before the steamer reached this port; that the passengers got up A masquerade, and that some of the strange became costumes frightened her do that she instantly demented. He says she is so vio. lent as to need special watching. and, being a Door man, he cannot afford to pay for an attendant for her. On examination, it was found that Mrs.
Portsch had his been departure insane for a long time, and that, previous to for this country, the terman Gov. ernment, which is very strict in such matters, had compelled her Kasuer to has give bonds to furnish money for support. He been sending fands of larly the to Europe authorities for that this he purpose, became and it is the opinion tired of doing so and took this method of relieving himself of the bar. den. Superintendent Jackson offered to furnish Mrs.
Fortsch with a was passage to Bremen by Saturday's steamer, but this not satisfactory to Kuaner. WHAT CAME OF AN OFFICER'S STUPIDITY. On Thursday a great deal of trouble was caused in the Tombs Police Court, and Clerk Mor. gan was left under an unjust suspicion of dishonesty by the stubborn stupidity of Officer Felix Hayes, of the Steam-bost Squad. The officer arrested James No.
Feeney 28 and another young man for fighting on 'Pier each. River. Justice Flammer fined them North 85 Feeny drew five-dollar note, from his pocket, and made a motion as it to pay his fine to the Clerk money, Morgan. The latter, being too busy to receive to another ordered Officer Hayes to take the' oner elerk. This Hayes did not do, and walked Feeney, coolly slipping out his money back in his pooket, abashed of court.

William MeEvoy, of No. 1,372 Third avenue, who was taken to Bellevue Hospital of Thursday night, from the Fifty-seventh-Street Police Court Prison, suffering from a stab wound indicted by Barney Gorman, was in such dangerous condition tem yesterday that Coroner Ellinger took his ante-mor. hating statement. He distinctly charged Gorman with knocked assaulted him. without provocation, and him down.
He got uD and tap away. but Gorman followed him down to all the time threatening to put an end to him. When Gorman came up with him he stabbed him in the left side. The assailant is said to be brother of the Tommy" Gorman who was shot, about year by Officer Murths during a street fight at Thirdavenue and Seventy-seventh-street. Barney Gorman has not yet been arrested.
BEFOULED BURLING BROOK. A LULL IN THE NEW-ROCHELLE VILLAGE WAR, BUT THE AUTHORITIES ALERT. There is a lull in the conflict between the authorities of the Village of New- Rochelle and David Jones, proprietor of the Park Brewery at that place, for the waste fluids from his brewery. respecting his use of Burling Brook as of taking up the drain that led from the brewery to the rook was completed on Thursday. Since then the water waste from the brewery has been mitted by Mr.
Jones to overflow into avenue from a large plank-covered vat or cistern, into which it is first conducted to catch all settlings. From point where the overflow reaches the avenue there is good descent down to the brook, a distance of about 100 feet. where a stone culvert conducts it directly into the stream. Yesterday morning the overflow stream was so small that it only saturated the gutter for about half the distance to the brook, and the liquid appeared quite clear, and was almost inodorous. The Village President.
Col. Delancey Kane, and the Corporation Counsel, Mr. Charles H. Roose. velt, visited the place yesterday morning, and walked down Burling Brook for about half a mile, after first looking at it at a point about 50 feet above the place where the remored drain had emptied into it.
At the upper point the water was inodorous and quite clear, bat the flow Was sluggish. At and below the intersection mentioned, there was an odor all along the brook that varied in power from An ordinarily unpleasant smell to an almost overpowering steneh, comparable only to that of very stale, sour beer. All along the bed of the brook was A thick residnum, and when this was stirred up by the inspecting visitors with their canes, the emission of the repulsive beery odor was greatly intensitied. Where this sedi. ment had lodged on the sides of the brook, and had been above the reach of the water, but exposed for some time to the action of the sun.
it was generally dry and crusted, and. on being disturbed by cane thrusts, showed that it was composed of brewery grains in comminuted form. resembling somewhat the bran of wheat or other like grain. When it was thus ernated, the top color was light, like that of grain, the color underneath being darker: the same stuff in the lower bed of the brook was dark-colored till it was stirred up, when it appeared as a mixture of mashed grain and mud. President Kane and his companion called on Dr.
Albert Smith, an aged physician residing on Mainstreet, whose farm lies on both sides of the brook for a considerable distance. Dr. Smith expressed great satisfaction and thanks to Col. Kane for his determined action in endeavoring to abate the nuisance caused by the pollution of the brook, and said that he had been waiting five years to see such steps taken. The Doctor added: My fingers and -hook are ready for a shore of the expense of the good work if Col.
Kane replied that private contributions were not in order: that the struggle was by the public in their own behalf. and they would pay all proper expenses to condnet it to A right end. In a general conversation about the brook, Dr. Smith said it now contained no fish nor frogs, whereas a tew years ago, before the brewery used it for a sewer. it used frequented by frogs, whose presence indicated 'Bienty of water and numerous small fishes.
Col. Kane has bottled, labeled and dated certain specimens of the fluid contents of the brook taken on the same day at different points above and below Union -avenue. THE PROPOSED FORLD'S FAIR. AN ADDRESS BY THE FAIR COMMITTEE STATING WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. It is generally known that there are in istenee two organizations formed to promote the holding of a World's Fair in this City some time in the future.
One of these is headed by Hon. H. G. Stebbins, and came into existence through the action of a body known as the U'nited States Board of Trade, the other is the Committee of Thirty, of which Judge Hilton is Chairman. The former body have just issued a statement, in the form of an address to the public, the intent of which seems to be to show what has been done to unite with Judge Hilton's committee, and to rake known that the Citizens' Committee." as it was first called, is here.
after to be known as the World's Fair Committee." The address first gives preliminary history of the movement," which is followed by an account of the "'citizens' and after this of the "'National Convention" held on the 8th Jnne last, at the St. Nicholas Hotel. At this couvention the report of the Citizens' Committee, naming NewYork as the place, and the year 1883 the time. for holding the World's Fair, and recommending that it be held under one organization, created by act of Congress authorizing the appointment of Commisioners for that purpose, was adopted. A committee of five was also pointed to confer with Judge Hilton's committee.
The correspondence between the Judge and the committee forms part of the address. The former said it was impossible for him on short notice to call gether the gentlemen associated with him. and he could, therefore, do no more than communicate the action taken by them at their last meeting. A minute of the proceedings of which he inclosed. Ore of the resolations adopted was that it was inexpedient to fix a date for holding the proposed World's Fair til the site had been determined upon.
This closed the correspondence, which, being read to the tion, the subject was dropped. The convention then adopted a resolution that the names of all delegates present be added to the Citizens' Committee, and that the number of members be increased from 300 to 550, and that the name of the committee be changed from that of the Citizens' Committee to the World's Fair Committee. Action was taken by the new organization, at a meeting held June 23. in the creation of a Committee on National Legislation, on which committee the names of those gentlemen recommended by the National Convention were placed. This, says the address.

Just as Justice Flammer was to leave the Tombs Police Court met yesterday, -attired gentleman of tall, slim build, bearing a striking resemblance to the popular ideal of Mephistopheles, walked hurriedly to the bench.
He wore a scarf- pin representing a coiling serpent with glittering eyes, diamonds sparkled on his fingers, and he looked quizzically out of a pair of large eye-glasses, while he blew clouds of smoke from a fragrant cigarette he was smoking.
