EXCITING SCENES AT A LYNCH.
INCA
The Mob Led by Prominent Citizens
and Applauded by Women.

and Applauded by Women.
CHICAGO, October Especial des-
patches from Bloomington, H., give
graphic details of the lynching there
last night of Charles Pierce, the i'm
prisoned horse thief, wro shot and
killed Jailer Franks while the latter
was conveying INN from one cell to
another in the Jail. The dispatches
say that some OF the best citizens were
in the front ranks of the lynchers.
Leading business men cheered and en-
couraked the lynchers, and women
waved their handkerchiefs with ap-
probation. For two hours the sheriff,
with all his force, the police force and
other officials stood at the Jail door
and fought and pleaded with the iaiu-
rated crowd. When the murderer was
raised for the nrst time, Officer Bailey,
OF the police force, imperiled his lite
by breaking through The crowd and
cutting the rope, letting tho body fall.
Upon the attempt to repeat this act OF
bravery he came near being killed.
The officers called out the Fire De.
partment to Quell the riot by throwing
water on the crowd. When a steam
cD6 'AS "iAAVOo oh uiO kiouHo Stioo Va
''cut the hose !" convinced the fremen
that it would not do to undertake to
carry out their instructions, and they
retired. The ringing Of fire bells called
hund. eds more to the scene and added
to the excitement. When the lynching
was imminent dispatches passed bes
tween Governor Cullum and Lieuten~
ant~Governor Hamilton, and the latter
was directed by the Governor to tell
the Sheriff to cali ON the militia to
protect life and property, but it was
known that the militia could not be
assembled. Senator Fifer, formerly
State At orney, and r. b. Porter, State
Attorney, did all they c.uld to quiet
the mob, promising that the murderer
should be tried and punished, but their
pleadings aud promises were hooted
at. "Justice and The courts are a
farce" "We have had too much of
court quibblings," and other similar
remarks were shouted at the officers
by the mob, who persisted in their
purpose of lynching Pierce and then
dispersed.

An Electric Railway.

LONDON, Oct. !, 1881.
The ceremony of cutting the first sod
on the Giants Causeway and Port Rush
Railroad day or two ago, at the latter
place, Is an event Of great Importance In
railway enterprise, owing to the fact that
it is intended TO work the ttamway by
electricity, the company thus being the
first to introduce into the United King
dom electricity as a motive power for
railway propulsion. DR.. Siemens is a
large contributor to the funds. 1t is es-
timated that the expenses for baulage on
tramway such as this with horses
would be twenty-three cents per mile
and by steam about fifteen cents, while
it is supposed that the working expenses
by an electrical motor will not reach
two cents per mile.

structed. The item further stated that

track laying are both being pushed as
fast as timber and rails can be obtain.
ed, and it is confidently predicted that
the track will be laid and regular
trains running to the Cascades before
the first day Of November. Several
ship loads Of iron are daily expected
to arrive at Portland. At point some
fifteen miles below the Cascades,
known as Table Rock, the work Of
boring tunnel $50 feet long, is be-
ing prosecuted, the workmen being
already nearly half way through.
Chief Engineer Thielsen expects to
have the cars running between Walla
Wala and Portland before New Years
day. An idea Of the magnitude OF
some of the work can be obtained by
imagining section of rock about 500
feet long, 80 feet wide, and from 80 to
$50 feet high, being blown into the
river by the simultaneous discharge of
seven blasts, containing an aggregate
of 10000 pounds of Judson, a species
of giant powder. The passengers ON
the boats between the Dalles and the
Cascadesind much to interest them in
viewing the operations of the graders
whose numerous camps call to mind

gers on the up boats are saluted by
the firing of numerous small blasts,
resembling light cannonade, throw
ing clouds of dust and smoke into the
air and sending showers of rock far
out into the river. When the road is
finished between the Dalles and Port
land, ride over it will afford treat
