up again, some after N idleness of few

NEWS OF aoRDoN's DEATH.

KoRrI, Feb. 10.-Colonels Wilson
and WORTHY, withthe expedition to khar-
toum, arrived here to-day. They made
the journey from Gubat in four days,
and bring news Of Gen Gordon's death.
Ono of the pashas among Gen. Gordou's 3
forces marched the garrison to the side
of the town nearest Omdurman, saying q
rebel attack was expected at that point.
Meantime another traitorous pasha opened
the gates at the other end and allowed
I'll Mahdis troops to enter, and they cas-
lily captured the town. General Gordon
was stabbed while leaving the government
house.
PARTICULARS OF THE MASSACRE.
Following are additional details of the
killing of General Gordon and the fall Of
Khartoum ; At day break on the day Of
the capture, which is variously stated at
the 26th and 9th of January, General
Gordon's attention was attracted by a
tremendous tumult in the streets. He
left the so-called palace or government
building in which he had made his head
quarters, to ascertain the cause Of the dis
turbance, and just as he reached the
street was stabbed in the back and fell
dead. The tumult was caused by III
Mahdi's troops, who had gained access
to the interior of the town through
treachery and who were soon in complete
possession Of the place, including tho ci-
tadel. A fearful massacre of the garri
son followed. The scenes of slaughter
are described as surprising the Bulgarian
atrocities and rivalling the worst horrors
Of Sepoy. Panic stricken Egyptians
were captured in fight and put to death
with the most fendish tortures. Some
were transfxed with spears and left to
bleed to death. Nest of the victims
were mutilated in most horrible man
ner. Eyes were goused out, noses slit,
and tongues torn out by the roots. In
many cases mutilatedparts of victims bodies
were thrust into their mouths while they
were still living. The massacre included
many non-combatants, and many Egyp-
tian women were subjected to the most
shamful indignities. More than 100
women and young girls we're given over
to El Mahdis followers, to be used as
slaves. After the slaughter many Arabs
were seen rushing about the streets with
the heads of Egyptians impaled upon
spears. The night was spent in saturn
ala Of blood and debauchery.

NOW WAKE UP,

Tha Idaho Parliament has adjourned.
Its performances are looked npon as un-
paralleled by any Legislative Circus CON-
pany which ever perambulated meath the
cottonwood groves of classic Boise. In
our mind We have couple Of bills passed
and finally "ixed' by Governor Bum,
which every taxpayer Of decency and
honesty in Idaho will denounce as unjust.
The U. S. Government heretofore has
always borne the legislative expenses Of
the territories, east, west north aud south.
She has, when the proper time came al
ways erected necessary capitol buildings,
and when she thinks it's our need she
will do so for Idaho. But no, there's a
clique who are afraid of mouse in the
bush, SO they think that by getting that
appropriation Of territorial coin into a
nigger, the wood pile will be safer. Now
in few days it will be all rush to get
those bonds issued. 1t is well for the
purchaser of those bonds to look little
out, because congress will be
petitioned by 10000 of Idahos last fall
voters, and taxpayers to set aside such
an unjust appropriation Of the territorial
money, when we owe nearly all there is
in the treasury, and it is due next fall, a
large amount Of it.-I.fer- Idaho.
