" 'JTOLl ca" for meeting of the He* \ national courention is the flr<t N»^ la til* presidential campaign. The •MtflifWiil be held in Washington en next month. At that time • «halrma« will be selected In place ot - Marshall Jewell. defeased, and the date •od plaut f«r holding the next national r Republican convention will be decided «p*n. Thus the-preliminaries are be* f«f arranged early, and it is quite pos- | alble that an early convention will be acalled, so that each party can fully pre- laent Ita candidates atid doctrines to the i|»opl«.. Happily the Republican party Is now In good condition to ge into tills Sght, >aud if the people will be allowed to •xprosa their sentiments honestly and f freely. It Will go far toward helping the party to gain a victory. The national committee which met la Washington last January, and which was given power by the last national convention to formulate new rules, . adopted the following: The Republican national convention of 18S4 •nail consist of four do]ecr:ttes nt largo from . Mca state and two deicgiUes from each con- . (resaional district. The dcleirHtes at iarge •ball be chosen by the popular vote of the #st*gates to the state convention, called on Ml less than twenty days' published notice, ••4 held not more than sixtv days before Ihe Sitae fixed for the meeting of the national con- vontion. Tne Republicans of the various con­ gressional district* shall have the option of •lecting their delejntea at separate delegate •onveDtions called on siinilfir notice, and held la the district *1 any time within fifteen days aext prior to the meeting of the state conven­ tion, or by sub-divisions of the state conven­ tion Into district conventions, and such dele­ gate* shall lie chosen i« the latter method •raviolis to the meeting of the state conven­ tion, all district delegates to be accredited by tho office) s of »noh district conventions. Two delegates shall be allowel from each territory, ami from the District of Columbia, jjelmllariT chosen. • Notices of the contests shall be given to the * Mttonai committee, accompanied by fult '?• Minted statements of the grounds of the eon- '• test, which shall also be made public, and the ; preference in the order of the hearing and • determining of the contests shall l»e given by the convention, according to the dates of the , reception of such notices and statements by the national committee. The above plan is a good one. The time and manner of calling the conven- Hons Is so explicitly stated that ill can be understood. - But it will be noticed : that two modes are'pruvided for select­ ing the national delegates. One is to allow them to be selected by the state , delegates from each congressional dis- ; trlct. The other is to hold a separate . congressional convention. The first is •emewhmt similar to the old plan, but dees net give the state convention any power to reject the delegates selected - fey the congressional district delegates, •r bind them to vote for this er that candidate, powers which it assumed to ,v have In 1880, but which the people re- pudiated, and the Chicago convention ut down on. We much prefer the district plan, as we have before stated. It is more con* : els tent with the Ideas of the great mas* : of the Republican pftrty. It shows that the party is entirely-released from a thralldom to which it had been sub­ jected. If this system is adopted the state committee will have no more power to arrange a delegation to the national convention than any other like number of men in the rural dis­ tricts. Through that system the people ean declare themselves, ana that en­ tirely independent of any machine. Don't fotfret the election of oncers ef the McIIenry County Agricultural Board on Hon. day next.

It may not be uninterestiag to those who have transferred their fickle Stock to know that, by the statute of our state, they arc jointly liable with the asslgneesof their stock for entire unpaid stock, but •itch is the fact as any man caa readily ascertain by reading the statute. Judson Snooks, ot Algonquin, has purchased the lease and furniture of the Richmond house and takes possession Dec. 1st. Woodstock will receive Mr. Snooks with open arms. He has been so long and favorably known in our eounty, he only needs to keep good the ex­ isting impression to make a success. '5! ' . EDITOR PLAIHDEALER:--The follow- • Ing appeared in the WoodstockSentinel •f last week: "C. L Curtis left for Chicago Tuesday morn- lag, he having secured a situatioa in'an art • gallery in that city. John Medlar says this is i* she fourth time Charlie has left him in the larch, on only a few hours'notice, and that it will be tiie last." This is not the first time that I have been called apon to defend rpyself against the villainous, lying attacks made ou me by the editor (?) of that •beet. That it is impossible for him to tell the truth when mentioning .my name I hare several times proved to the readers of the PLAINDEALER, and will now do so again. When at Wood­ stock last Sunday, 1 called on my old friend of twenty-three years' standing, Mr. John S. Medlar. He told me he had never used the language ascribed to him above, either to Gard Southworth •r anyone else; nor had he said anything thft could be construed or twisted into •ny such meaning. He also pronounced the latter portion of the above quoted statement a bate and malignant lie, and furthermore, I found at least a dozen persons in Woodstock to whom he had made the same 6tatem£j^t. I am avare that the public liave no interest in any man's private business affairs, still I must beg the privilege of stating a few facts in regard to the matter. A few day6 before coming to Chiqago I had an offer of a situation in one of the leading galleries of that city at a salary more than double which I was getthig la Woodstock. On the 19th inst. I received a letter asking if I could couie Immediately as they were short of help. 1 then had a talk with Mr. Med­ lar. In which it was satisfactorily and amicably arranged that I should accept the ofler by going to Chicago the next morning, which I did, and r ifely be­ lieve that I have no better friend in this world to day than John Medlar. This is not the first time that Gard Bouthworth and the contemptible gang whom he "bosses" have tried to make trouble between Mr. Medlar and myself but their miserable lives will not be Song enough to accomplish their pur­ pose. When a niau cets so low that he will packet the prbuueds of a straw­ berry festival given by the ladies of his church anil forget all about it until reminded of the fact several months afterward, he does not have to get much lower to lie about any man against whom lie hold* a petty personal spite. I am in possesion of many damaging tacts In the history of this pious old fraud, which I stand ready and willing to givg to the public should occasion require; and shall nor. be back­ ward about giving them if he don't keep his dirty hands oft of 'nie.

A passotiger train was stepped before It collided with some freight care that were being loaded on the track, and a man was stnt havK to signal any train that might be following. A freight train cauie a round the curve at a fu!l speed, and the old-style breaks were powerless to stop it. It went crashing inte the rear passenger car, kilting or severely wounding every one of the twenty passenger. As the locomotive boiler was stove in, allowing the steam and scalding water to freely escape on the prssengers, it is miracu­ lous that any escaped alive. Had the train been provided with air-breaks, the accident could have been pre­ vented.

' ' (Cable Dispatch from Cairo, Egypt.] • The array of Hioks Pasha has been an­ nihilated by the forces of El Mahdi, the Fal?e Prophet. Nearly 10,000 Egyptian soldiers were slaughtered, and the correspondents of several European newspapers are among the dead. The fighting lasted three days and nights. The forces of M Mahdi comprised about 300,000 men, including dervishes, Bed­ ouins,mulattoes and regulars, while the forces of Hicks Pasha numbered 25,000 men, accord­ ing to one account and 10,600 by another. According to the first accounts as brought to Khartoum by a Coptic official, the forces of El Mahdi and Hicks Pasha came together near El Obeid on the morning of Nov. 3. El Mahdi first sent forward his dervishes, de­ claring that they would vanquish the enemy by divine aid. These fanatics were armed with swords and spears, and, despite the im­ mense carnage, they threw themselves reck­ lessly upon the Egyptians. The False I rophet, seeing they were being slaughtered without achieving any result, ordered his regulars up and soon the engagement became gen­ eral. The forces of Hicks Pasha were divided into two bodies, but by al­ most superhuman exertions the sections fought their way over masses of dead bodies and were reunited about noon n^nie flrPt day. The Egyptians then formed a square and re­ sisted the infidels for two days, Finally, on the third :*tty. the Fals9 Prophet's troops broke the square, and began massacreing the Egyptiuns by wholesale, sparing none. Hicks Paslia had divided his army, sending half to El Obied to demand the surrender of that place, and with the remainder he await­ ed the arrival of El Mahdi, who was advanc­ ing from the southeast. Mahdi, however, met the half of Hicks Pasha's army advanc­ ing to El Obietl and attacked it. Hearing the firing, Hicks Pasha came up with his whole force and formed a hollow square. Mahdi brought up his fresh regulars. These num­ bered 3,000. The square of Hicks Pasha was broken, and his army was annihilated. The English officers with the Egyptian army fought gallantly, AnotV.er report of the light says that Mahdi sent his dervishes to treat with Hicks Pasha's native officers, saving tothe Egyptians: "We like you. You are Mussulmans. Why fight? Surrender." The dervishes were received by a volley, and then the battle commenced. The 4,000 soldiers now scattered among the small forts on the Nile will be concentrated at Khartoum, where there are already 2,000 troops. The cntastrophe seems to have wholly para­ lyzed the Egyptian Government. Unless very speedy action is taken, it Is feared Suakim will fall into the hands of the tribes in revolt acting in conoert with Madhi. The latter is thought to be near Khartoum. If that place' should be captured there would be no good de­ fensible position between Madhi and Cairo except Minich, which is only six hours distant from Cairo. No one be­ lieves Madhi will rest content with the con­ quest of Soudan. It is feared Turkey will in­ terfere and insist on reconquering the lost province. Neither English nor French wish this. The prospect thus bristles with serious complications. Evelyn Baring has advised the Government |to abandon the Soudan and establish a strong frontier line from Kharloum to Saukim. It Is also reported that the recent orders for the ivacuation of Egypt by the British troops nivc been countermanded, and thut several lew regiments will be sent here. A TERRIBLE CRIME. rour Persons Murdered in Their Beds at a Farm-House Near Jackson, Mich. fne of the Victims a Man Worth Hil!- •' *-- Tlha frhn Vailed la----r- LYNCHEDt The Murderer of Ads Atfdaaon Takes from Jail ty a Mob and Hanged. ffce Mm Doors Broken Dm, ni the Victim Summarily Dispatched. Jaoob Nelllnf, the murderer of Ada At ­ kinson at Oxford, Ind., some weeks ago, wa» taken from the Jail at Fowler, Ind., on the- moming of Nov. 10, oonveyed to Oxford by a masked mob end hanged. It will be re­ membered that after Nelling oonfessed to­ the brutal murder of the Innocent girl he- narrowly escaped execution at the hands of the infuriated populace, and wis spirited away to Lafayette and con­ fined In the strong prison of that city,, for better security against mob vengeance. It appears that the Tippecanoe county authorities got tired of lo<firing after his wel­ fare, and, as the excitement over the tragedy had apparently died out, it was deemed safe- to take him back to Fowler for confinement, in the Benton county Jail, which was accord­ ingly done. Twb days after the return of the- prisoner the neighbors and friends of the- murdered girl proceeded to Organize them­ selves for the work of vengeance, and did It. so quietly and secretly that the officers of the- law were kept in supreme ignoranee- of the movement, and were taken completely by surprise. The mob was perhaps the most, orderly one that ever strung up a man. While none of the men are certainly known, their actions showed that they were deter­ mined and resolute men. An oje-witness- thus describes the affair: " A solitary horse­ man was seen to come from the east and; ^ ride quietly around the jail. Thei^l he rode rapidly away in the direofl tion whence he came. About an hou^| 'afterward about 150 masked men, in wagon® and buggies and on horseback, rode quiet!y up to the jail from the south and posted guards at all the avenues of approach. They then proceeded to divide their forces, a portion going to the entrance to the Sheriff's residence adjoining the jail, and a part to the- east door of the jail. After demanding the keys to the jnil, they proceeded to batter the outer door with sledges. Then with cold; chisels, prepared especially for the purpose,, they cut the locks from the doors, and la. about an hour gained entrance to Nelling'a cell. The old man had in the meantime got up and dressed himself ready to receive them. They hurried liim out to a wagon that stood in waiting, the old man simply remarking that they ought not to bo so rough, that he was- older than some of th?m. Then they departed with their prisoner in the direction of the murder, near which place he was executed. Everything was done in a business-like manner, having very much the air of a funeral. The jail officials made no determined resistance, owing to the- number and character of the mob." When Nelling was taken from Lafayette to Fowler a few days ago for trial it was given out that he would enter a plea of guilty and accept a sentence of death on condition that his execution be stayed sixty days. This anticipated delay in the course of the law in­ cited the mob. Nelling killed Ada Atkinson in her room some nine weeks ago. She was almost a. child, and he had been her father's laborer. for mapy years. The case excited a great deal of attention, and was for several days lot mystery. Another man was arrested on the word of Nelling, but afterward Nelling ad­ mitted he lied and said he did it himself. He ibarely escaped lynching at the time, and, as- stated above, was removed to Lafayette to avoid the ftury of the mob. Ho was to have- been indicted and tried in a few days. i JUSTICE HARLAN'S OPINION.
