INSIDE THE JAIL

The scenes were spiritless. The mob at no
time made an impression or any part of the
building, unless by light, harmless missiles.
Tie troops were lying on their arms, taking
such rest as they could get, when not called
for special duty, The police were wora cut,

CINCINNATI, March 30sh.-Among the Tu-

had met in their hall on Walnut street and
armed to join the mob. This report is not
verified. The Germans have been most in
tensely indignant st the Barner verdict.
Should this organization enter the lists most
serious trouble may be expected. as they are
men OF such tenacisy of purpose as TO be well
feared.
THE MILITIA UNDER FIRE.
CINCINNATI, March 31ss-12:15 A. M.-The
mob have taken possession of the roofs of the
houses in the vicinity of Court and WALNUT
Streets and are firing down on the militia in
line in front of the Courthouse. The crowd
has almost entirely fallen bsck from Court
street, leaving the street clear TO Vine. Two
men were carried into the drug store at Cou,t
and Walnut, seriously, if not mortally,
wounded. 1t is very evident that the back
bone of the mob is broken.

IN THE JAIL,

Entered through the Court-house and through
q tunnel from It 10 The interior of the jail.
With this combined force the men were put
off the corridors about the cells, and the mob
seemed TO be repulsed. Not shot was
fred up to this time by the forces within the
jail. The stairway was again Ia possession OF
the Sheriff's forces, and a struggle began for
it oa the gate. The colored ring leader was
seized by Lieutenant Dunn, struck on the
head and dragged inside. Then the gate was
closed, several Others beiug arrested about
the same time. The battering-ram was
broken in two, and served as brace for the
gate. The mob seemed repulsej, ard the
story went ou-, spreading through the cut
side crowd. only TO infsme it 20 more serious
effort. Efforts were redoubled at all the en-
tcasces, and the southern gate TO the jail
yard Was broken Gown. Mesntime, Sheriff
Hawkins sent an order to Colonel Flint,
commanding the First Regiment Of militia,
to report TO MIN in the jail with all the men
possible. Only about fOrty-fve men were on
duty, aid these went to the jail, passing
through tbs Courthouse and the tunnel al
resdy mentioned. Here occurred the first
bloodshed. The farther end of the tunnel
was guarded by officers Phil. Mum and Won
Seggern.

SACRAMENTO. MONDAY MORNING, MARCH

buildings were appropriated to construct q
strong defense for the purpose of preventing a
rush of people in The vicinity of the Jail, The
mob tonight would have TO first storm these
bsrricades before getting within reach of the
jail. These thorough preparations, added to
the fact that more troops are coming, may
hold the mob in check. The fact is no or.
gsnized mob is known. That Of last night
was not premeditated it was spontaneous,
growing, not out of inceudisry speeches or
resolutions at the meeting, for these were all
conservative, but out Of the fac. that the
great body met together on the street with
common feeling of intense indignation at the
criminal farce played by Berner and the Jury
and at the general slackness of the sdmiuis-
tration of justice TO murderers. The spirit
grew by degrees and was not the result of a
settled plan. To-day circulars Asve been
distributed calling for the organization of a
vigilance committee of 500 in each ward. It
is anonymous and seems TO have no respect
able backing
While Sheriff Hawkins carefully protected
the front and fanks of the jail by barricades,
DE neglected to protect the rear, which was
the Court-house front, looking Wess on Main
street. An immense crowd gathered there,
and the large plate-glass windows are now
being crushed by powders. This will give sn
entrance to the jail yard and to the jail
through the tunnel, but only to o small num-
Der at time. The troops from Columbus
have not yet arrived.
A NIGHT OF BLOOD.
MIDNIGHT night Of blood as this
has not before darkened the history Of Gin
cinnAti. It is impossible to ascertain the
situation. Men have been killed several
squares from the scene Of the riot. One man
was just shot in Fountain square, six squares
from the Courthouse. The FIRE was started
by rolling in barrels of coal oil, Getting it on
FIRE and keeping everybody ont. lieutenant
Desmond entered to subdue the flames and
was instantly killed. The flames went their
own way because the mob would not let the
firemen use the engines. The flames went
unchecked, though slowly as yet. The struc-
ture was strongly built at cost of probably
quarter of million, and was made to with
stand fire as far So possible. To lose that
means the irreparable loss of invaluable
records, some of them of great value.

had frequent calls for special duty. The
prisoners were locked in the cells, trembling
with fear. Not one slept through the night.

outbreak, the revelations OF this morning do
it. There was . notable absence of mere

and st noon. even when the weather was de-
lightfully pleasant, there was not so much
travel on the streets iu that vicinity as is
usual on ordinary Sundays.

line to Lenoxville, Canada, some 81
miles. Notwithstanding President Ray
mOnd's large sale of stock in the Pas
sumpsic road he still retains quite an
interest, and will remain one of the
directors after the next election. 1t is
not considered likely that the new
owners of the Passumpsic road will
divert much of its business from its
present channels.
The annual meeting of the Lake road
will be held in this place next Wednes-
day. The report that the Messrs.
Fairbanks had disposed of their entire
interest in the road is not true. A
portion of their stock, however, has
been purchased by A. B. Harris of the
Connecticut river road, at present one
of the directors of the road. The
changes of stock in the Passumpsic and
Lake roads indicate that these roads
are to become part of the Connecticut
river road system. 1t is not probable,
however, that there will be any radical
change made at the meeting next
Wednesday in the management of the
Lake road.

A TaIIy-HO Pleasure Party.

A tally-hO, or one of the old English
travelling coaches, is a rare sight now
adays and attracts much interest. A

and son, Miss Nellie Kear and two
negro fOotmen, from Philadelphia, and
they ave travelling for pleasure, bound

doing the mountains they will re-
turn to Philadelphia. They had been
on the road sixteen days, and average
about thirty eight miles a day, the
number of miles travelled being re-
corded by register on one of the
wheels. They intended stopping over
night ut Bethlehem. The coach was
supplied with all the cOnveniences for
adding to the enjoyment of such il trip.

Dangers of Sea Bathing.

There was a good deal of excitement
at the bathing beach at Prout's Neck
one day last week and narrow escape
from death for at least two persons
While quite a number were bathing a
cry was raised that man was in peril
and on looking seward a man was
seen beyond the surf and unable to get
back to the beach. Gardiner Scudder
Il boy about fourteen years old and an
expert swimmer, at once went to his
rescue and succeeded in towing him to
the shore in an exhausted condition.
BY this time the alarm was given that
another man was in danger and it was
seen at once that Rev. DR.. J. p. Tustiu
of Philadelphia was far out in the
water unable to return to the shore
The Doctor is very large and heavy
man and it was at once seen to be ex-
tremely perilous for any one to attempt
his rescue single handed, as the tide
was setting out quite strongly. A rope
was secured from Skipper Wiggins's
who lives some fifty rods away, and
Robert Fairbanks tied one end about
his body and went to the rescue, the
other end being held by parties stand
ing in the surf where there was good
footing. In a very short time DR.
Tustin was reached and brought tc
the beach, and although extremely eX-
hausted he received no permanent
injury. Mr.. Beard from Montreal, the
other gentleman rescued, was quite i'll
for several days. Although DR.. Tustin
is one of the most expert swimmers
who has ever appeared on the Neck
and can float on the water like a cork
it is not believed that either he or Mr.
Beard could ever have gotten ont OF
the water that day without help
which goes to show that the safest
bathing beaches sometimes have al
''undertow" or something else which
makes bathing hazardous.
