Sheriff. a workman and j. H. Jenkins, WHO
were sleeping upstairs in the Jail, were
awakened by raps at the front door Of the
Jail The building is two story brick, ON
the northeast corner of the square, that is,
the residence portion, but the jail proper is
back and only one story in height. In
side is an iron cage containing two cells.
The Sheriff went 10 "A window and asked
what was wanted. The answer was, I'VE
want to see you" The Sheriff inquired
what was wanted of him. The reply came
I'VE want the Jefferson murderersr The
Sheriff looked out and saw what he esti
mated at from 800 to 80 men gathered
about the Jail. He told them that the
prisoners were in his charge and he would
not give up the keys, but that he would
defend and protect the prisoners. The
answer was that they did not propose TO
allow the prisoners to leave the town in
the night, as il was rumored that he con
templated removing them. The Sheriff
told the crowd that if they would 90
away he would take the prisoners away in
the day time and would tell when it
would be done, but would neither give up
the keys or prisoners. A voice cried, Her

grabbed a navy revolver and commenced
firing over the heads of the crowd to fright
en- them and attract the town, but the
town was already on hand. A bullet was
put through the window glass where he
was standing. which showed that the crowd
meant business.
In a small room leading TO the Jail are
stairs leading TO the upper story, and this
room is guarded by iron doors, and another
one opens into the Jail from this room.
These were for the purpose of protecting
the Jail from without. but this time they
protected the crowd and imprisoned the
Sheriff and deputies. The officers at
tempted to open the doors but the crowd
drove rods into the KEY holes and the doors
were then secure. The walls of the Jail
proper were then attacked with sledges and
soon large hole was made. Men rushed
inside and iasteaed the other door and the
officers were powerles. There is L.gh
board fence running through the court
yard and after the prisoners were
captured Smythe and Wilson were
hung TO the stringers of the fence, the
boards being knocked off for the purpose.
Cicero, the son, was hanged TO the band
stand in the centre of the square. Smythe
was killed by bullet shot in his left eye,

The British Imperial Federation.

LONDON, February 5.-The Post combats
the position taken by John Bright on the
British imperial federation. 1t urges the
close knitting of Canada with England TO
insure protection to England's increasing
commerce in the China seas against the
possible encroachments by France and Rus
sia. England has no territory in the Pacific
region and aspires to none. The compile
tion of the Canadian Pacific railway will
provide England with a new route to Hong
Kong occupying but little over a month,
sixteen days less than the Suez canal route.
The new route would enable England to
land troops in China at least ten days in
advance of troops starting at the same
time from Marseilles or Russian troops
from Odessa

Negotiations Closed.

POETLAND, Ore, February 4.-The Cana
dian Pacific Railway closed negotiations
here to-day, whereby they will lave four
bases of operation until their line ia COM
pletCl TheIe is at this time gap of 235
between the eastern and western divisions.
All of it is very heavy mountain work,
through the Selknk range. The upper
Columbia river bases this gap, leaving 81
miles to the west and 10 TO the east The
river is IA zigable from Fort Colville, in
Washington Territory, north to where the
railroad will cross il, distance of 1S0
miles, and will be used as a channel for
construction supplies, thus creating two
new bases of operation. A 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 river
was navigated for one year by the old Ore
gon Steam Navigation Company during the
mining excitement OF 1855, and il is one of
the surprises of the Pacific coast carrying
trade that use should ever be found for
steamer navigation on the river, which has
lain dead for twenty years. With these
new facilities for landing supplies the com
pletion of the Canadian Pacific will be
FASTENED at least one year.

NEW ORLEANS, February 3-While the
question of the Worlds Fairs finances is
not publicly mentioned except in a general
way since the meeting AT which the gener-
Gus subscription of members of the Cotton

sioners. The meeting concluded with the
adoption of a resolution endorsing the
State Commissioners appeal to Congress,
and appointing committee to confer with
the L. 5. Commissioners. 1t was stated
that the Exposition was more than paying
running expenses now, and all that was
wanted was funds TO pay back indebted

evenly divided, but said that if all the Re-

opposed by an equal number of men, the
enemy never got the better of him. He
would not have any Office unless it came to
him honorably and he intended to so con-

The Fail of khartoum.

LONDON, February j. -1015 a. m.--Gen.
Wolsely telegraphs that Khartoum has
fallen. He says that when Col Wilson,
who went from MetemDeh to khartoum,
reached the latter place he found it in the
hands of the rebels. He returned to
Metemneh under heavy fire from both
banks of the river.
When Col Wilson reached Khartoum he
found that Mahdi's forces occupied both
the town and citidel. He tried to land
and ascertain the fate of General Gordon,
but this step he found to be impossible.
The enemy's guns were turned upon him
in full force and he was therefore COM
PEELED to turn his back upon the fallen city
and return to Gubat without finding out
whether Gordon was dead or alive.
Wolseley telegraphs that he does not
consider the British position at Gubat in
any immediate danger.
LONDON. February 5.-On the Sock Ex-
change to-day Egyptian stock dropped
from ] to per cent on account of the
disaster at Soudan.
The excitement attending the reception
Of the news Of the fall of khartoum is in
creasing constantly. A stream of anxious
inquirers are pouring into the War Office.
The people throughout the province are
also greatly excited. At Aldershot the
news was received with mingled feelings of
sadness and Indignation.
A great sensation was caused in the
Irish garrisons of Dublin when the report
was received. 1t is understood that the
fall of khartoum will not check the ad-
vance of Gen. Wolsley, whose main body
OF troops will march across the desert at
once and beseige Khartoum at the earliest
possible moment.
The first news of the fall of khartoum
received by Gen. Wolsley, was brought by
messenger, who left the island where
Col. Wilson is stranded and came on foot
to Gubat. Intelligence of the disaster has
spread far and wide. Some of the tribes
that have hitherto professed friendship for
England have declared for Mahdi.
Orders have been dispatched to WOOL
wich to Immediately prepare to send a
months rations and 5000 men for the
Khartoum expedition.
Gen. Gordon's defense of Khartoum
ended on the anniversary of his sd birth
day. Military opinion at Cairo is that the
whole force of the British army should be
directed toward the copture of Berber,
while $1,000 reinforcements from England
or India should land at Suakim to ensure
a retreat or enable them to chastise the
rebels.
