ouIbOt Va btO
c~innati, reviews the riot in that city In the
following dispatch to the New York
Tribune: The number of persons killed
and wounded in the riots thus far is about
200. The last fatal shot fred in anger up
to this time was fired between 4 and 5
O'Clock this morning, though a poor SOL
der boy was killed this evening by the
accidental discharge Of his gun. The
Courthouse is not utterly ruined, as was at
first supposed. A large portion OF the
valuable records were saved. The money
that was in the treasury is all safe. The
vaults, which were very heavy, are mainly
good. We have confidence there will not
be a repetition of the horrors of the three
nights that will be so memorable here, but
only the overwhelming force Of the State
troops prevents a disastrous demon
stration. The determination to lynch the
gang of murderers in prison and release
the crowd who have been made prisoners,
is something terrific, and secret meetings
were held to-day that would mean mischief
If there were not a thousand rifles and sew
eral batteries at hand. The excited people
had real grievances to begin with. The
administration of criminal law has been
damnable, and the influence of sheer
criminals in public affairs alarming. That
which has happened we may hope will
make an irresistible influence that will
lead to better ways.
CINCINNATI, April 1.-Since our last re-
port four additional deaths have occurred
at the hospital-Fred B~iekenhorst, Leroy
Simmons, Charles Miller and Andrew
Nichols. The exact number of the dead
and wounded will probably never be
ascertained, on account of the many
wounded being carried away by their
friends, but the number killed outright,
or lying at the hospital up to midnight to-
night is Al, as shown by the city under
takers and hospital records. Tn infor-
nation from there is as reliable as could
be had, and the number of wounded COM
piled from the same sources is 100. There
are probably half as many more wounded,
but are not reported. The committee of
Is, at a subsequent meeting, decided to
raise by subscription 500, 900, to be used
to pay 1000 extra police. This sum will
be a loan to the city until the sum ex-
| pended may be raised by q proper appro-
priation and returned. This will enable
the withdrawal Of the militia.
CINCINNATI, April LA mass meeting
/ has been called, to be held at Music Hall,
| to ratify the municipal reform ticket.
CINCINNATI, April 1.-The morning has
| been free from any Notwithstanding any
/ change in the situation. The proposed
| relief Of the military and civil force can
not be put into operation speedily, if at all,
as the selection of suitable men and their
| equipment must take time. The militia
still keep the streets barricaded as strongly
as ever, not even allowing the Auburn
line of street cars, whose track winds a
distance of two square miles within the
lines, to pass through. As to the state Of
public feeling, it cannot be said that the
original impulse that actuated the men
taking part in the demonstration Saturday
night has been renewed or lessened by the
presence of the military. On the contrary,
the events of Friday and Saturday nights
have given rise to a new feeling, that Of
indignation against the military. Only
the hopelessness of the conflict with this
powerfully armed force prevents an at
tack upon ii. The newspapers are usually
conservative in tone, and speak with great
freedom to-day on the situation.

families left Pittsburg to-day for Seattle,
W. T., for the purpose Of making 1t their
