Blacksmith ana Earl.

BALTIMORE, Mp., February A.
William Icliffe, the village black
smith of Stockton, Worcester ccun-
ty, has fallen heir to an Earldom in
England, and an estate, the value OF
which is estimated a. s2,OOO,O0O.
He is now 45 years Of age and a re-
spected citizen of the town. He
came to this country when q lad.
His father married a blacksmith 3
daughter ard was refused recogni-
ton by his parents. The father
went TO London and there learned
the trade of blacksmithing of his
wiie's father. He had some trouble
with the trade union and came to
America, leaving his wife and little
son behind. They followed soon af-
ter and tried to find him, but failing
in this, settled in New Jersey.
There the son grew up, and meeting
a young lady Of Worcester county,
fell in love with her. They were
married aDd settled at Stockton,
where they have lived ever since.
The news of his good fortune reach
ed him a short time ago when bis
signature was asked to suspicious
looking document. He refused to
sign it, and found out afterward that
the document was a transfer OF all
his rights to the Icliffe property in
England. He now has the proper
papers in his possession, and will
coon be in undisputed possession of
the property. 1t was all left to him
by his grandfather's will.

Killed BY wra,hrul Iowans.

ST. LOUIS, Feb "A dispatch from
Audubon, Iowa, gives the details of
the lynching of Cicero Jefferson,
John A. Smythe. and Hiram Viii
son, who were arrested last April
for hanging Hiram Jefferson, a help
less old man. father of Cicero, and
father-in-law ofSymthe. At the time
of his arrest Cicero Jefferson confes-
sed that he had hanged his father,
and implicated Symthe and Wilson.
The latter also married one of the
Jefferson girls a short time before
the murder. Cicero stated that after
the marriage Wilson accused his
wife of immortality, when she admit
ted that it was true and blamed her
father. This enraged Wilson. and
he said that he would either leave
her or kill the old man. She beg
ged him to do neither. He then
consulted Smythe, and the tragedy
is the result of their consnlta-
ton. Many believed that Symthe
was the real person who got the
young women into trouble and cause
them to charge it to their father.
The latter was taken out of his bed
at night and hanged by his relatives.
The trial of the trio was SCI down
for yesterday, and when the court
convened a motion for change of
venue on the ground of prejudice
was made and sustained. This ac-
ton enraged the people. and threats
were made against Judge Loofboro,
who forthwith left tie town. Early
this morning mob assembled in
front of the Jail and overpowered the
deputy sheriff who was in charge.
Sledge hammers were procured and
the cell doors broken in. Smythe
and Wilson made desperate resis-
tance with knives, and were shot to
death in their cells, not, however,
uutil they had wounded four of the
mob. Cicero Jefferson offered no
resistance, and was taken out and
hanged from speakers stand in the
park. He did not beg for mercy but
died gamely. His body was filled
with shot after he was strung up. 1t
is said that the lynchers are known,
as some of them had their wounds
dressed by local physicians shortly
after the tragedy. The bodies of
Smythe and Wilson were turned
over to the coroner. Wilson had
his brains beaten out after he was
shot to death.

AFTER General Logan's nomina-

ture, a committee was sent to notify
him of the action of the caucus, and
while they were absent, the caucus
sang Marching, Through Georgia" ="
and were singing it when Logan, es-
cor;ed by the committee, appeared
at the door. The music was kept
up until he reached the cbairman's
desk and was introduced. He
spoke with much feeling, and ex-
pressed his profound gratitude for
the honor done him by the caucus,
and of lis Indebtedness to the peo-
pie of Illinois for the honors receiv-
ed at their hands. He allsded to
the fact of the Legislature being
evenly divided. but said if all the
Republicans stood by him he
would be elected or prevent the
election of Democrat.
When he was in the army and
was opposed by an equal number Of
men, the enemy never got the
better of him. He further said
be would not have any office un-
less it came to him honestly and
honorably, and he intended to so
conduct the fight as to meet the
appreciation of all honorable men.
General Logan was frequently ap-
plauded during his speech.
