The foot of George William Curtis was then upon the threshold. Boldly he entered the room whence in all ume since his utteYances have com handed respect and admiration.

LYNCHED.
A Mob at Des Moines, Iowa, Hangs
Three Murderers Taken From

Murderers LYnchel.

CHICAGO, Feb. "A report from Des
Moines, Iowa, reaches here that Smith,
Wilson and Jefferson, the murderers of
Hiram Jefferson, we're lynched at Audu-
bon this morning. Smith & Wilson were
shot in their cells, after making desper-
ale fight. and Cicero Jefferson was hanged
from the band stand in the park. The
latter confessed to the crime of having
murdered his father.
DEs MONIES, Feb. 4,--About 2 o'clock
the victims were awakened by the break
ing in of the walls of the jail and nine
masked men stepped in. There were 500
in the mob outside. In the east cell in an
iron cage we're sleeping Smith, Wilson
and another prisoner, and Cicero Jeller-
son and three others occupied the west
cell. Smith and Wilson tried to barri-
cade with bed clothes. With sledge
hammers and cold chisels the doors were
broken down, and once in the corridor of
the cage the adlocks we're soon broken
After the cells we're open the crowd called
for the Jefferson murderers to come out.
Smith seized a broom handle and struck
one man, who fired at once, the ball
striking Smith square in the left eye and
he fell stone dead. Wilson backed in a
corner of the cell and said if he died he
would die game, and grabbing chair,
would strike at anyone within reach.
Being driven from the corner by crow
bar, he made dash for the opening with
a chair, but was halted by bullet, and
kept up the fight until the third shot was
fred. When he fell both bodies were
then dragged from the cage through the
hole in the jail wall, and while they we're
all gone, probably hanging the bodies to
the fence stringer, Cicero breathed easier
and thought they would not take him.
The prisoners with him told him if he
had anything to say he had better say it.
He then told them that the three COM
mitted murder, and his confession, as
made when first arrested, was true.

Logan Nominated for senator.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 5.-The repub-
lican senatorial caucus met this eve
ming, Senator Mason presiding. General
Logan was nominated by rising vote
and by reclamation. A committee was
sent to notify him of the action of the
caucus, and while the committee was out
the caucus sang "Earching through
Georgia" and were singing when Logan,
escorted by the committee, appeared at
the door. The music was kept up until
he reached the chairman's desk and was
introduced. He spoke with much feel
ing and expressed his profound gratitude
for the honor done him by the caucus
and of his indebtedness to the people of
Illinois for honors received at
their hands. He alluded to the fact that
the legislature was evenly divided, but
said that if all republicans stood by him
he would be elected or would prevent the
election of democrat. When he was in
the army and was opposed bv a full num-
Der of men, the enemy never got better OF
him. He would not have any office un-
less it came to him honestly and he in
tended to so conduct the fight SO as to meet
the appreciation of all honorable men.
Logan was frequently applauded. After
some more speeches the caucus ad-
| iOurned.

The Pacific Slope.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 4-The Canadian
Pacific railway closed negotiations here
to-day, whereby they will have four bases
of operation until their line is COM
pleted. There is at this time a gap OF
235 miles between the eastern and west
ern divisions, all of it very heavy noun
tain work through the Selkirk range.
The upper Columbia river bisects this
gap, leaving 65 miles to the west and ITO
to the east. The river is navsgable from
Fort Colville, Washington territory,
north to where the railroak will cross it,
a distance of 18O miles, and will be used
as the channel for construction and sup
plies, thus creating two new bases OF
operations. The contract was let to-day
to transport supplies over this new route
and a steamer will be built at once. This
portion of the upper Columbia was nav
igated for one year by the old Oregon
Steam Navigation company during the
mining excitement of 1866, and it is one
of the surprises Of the Pacific coast car
ryiinp trade that its use should ever be
found for steam navigation on the river,
which lay dead for twenty years.

A Texas launching.

GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. 5.--A Calves
ton News Hearne, Texas, special says
that information reached here this morn
ing from Franklin, Robertson county,
that a mob of two hundred visited the
Jail last night and demanded the keys,
which the jailor surrendered. The mob
then forced an entrance and took Ben
Hawkins, a negro, who murdered an old
peddler last week and hanged him to a
tree. Judges Collard and Crawford
hearing the disturbance at the Jail Wis
tied the spot and urged the mob to dis
perse and permit the law to take its
course with the prisoner. Both the
judges we're promptly placed under an
armed guard, as was the jailor, until the
mob finished the work, when they
quietly dispersed.

REDF1E1D, Feb. 5.-[Special.] THE
people of Sphinx county will throw up
their hats in honor of Governor Pierce
should he veto the bill dividing this
county. Certain Ashton parties have
caused false reports to the effect that the
sentiment is rapidly changing in favor of
the proposed measure to be telegraphed
from various points in this county. One
man telegraphed M. L. Miller that j. M.
Beidleman, an influential farmer in the
southern part of the county, favored the
bill. In conversation with your CORES
pondent to day, MI. Beidleman unquali-
fiedly denounced the report, and says he
unequivocally opposes the measure.
Ashton celebrated the supposed victory
yesterday, but everywhere else in the
county the people we're greatly indignant
over the passage of the bill. Four-ifths
of the people of the county will feel like
rejoicing amid bonfres and the jingling
of bells if Governor Pierce should veto
