Cincinnati, March 29.--At on 80 n.
IN. the fire engines responded to an
alarm. but after much difficulty In
getting near II was found that the
alarm was false. 1t was occasioned by
u bonfire built near the Jail. As the
building IL mainly of stone and iron
II would be difficult TO fire IL from
without. Itnow appears that there
was no actual conflict between the
mob and the military, though 1t Is
still most likely that the wounds OF
the police and military We're inflicted
by the fire Of the latter when the inner
door between the reception room and
the cell rooms was broken down.
The military fired ON the
mob at that place, and Lew
Ment, ~ lahorer aud member OF the
mob, was shot and killed. This
seemed tn break the spirit of the mob,
though they did not retire hastily. A
number OF hrick-bats were thrown by
them st the soldiers and police, but
generally there was
NOT MUCH BITTERNESS
Of feeling displayed on either side.
Greatly superior strength of the de-
Tenders OF the jail over the mnarmod
aud impromptu mob was so manifest
that when the former opened fire IL
would have been utter folly to make
any further effort. Some twenty-five
or thirty men were arrested and are
in Jail.
The jailer's residence in the Jail,
which was entered by n portion OF the
mob, WAS roughly handled,
1.-THE windows being broken and
furniture smashed. From this,a num-
Der OF men made their way into the
kitchen and thence TO the lower cor
ridor. After the REIMBURSEMENT ofthe
main effort To get ut the prisoners, the
mob lined the outside, throwing
STONES AND BRIcKBATs
at the windows. At las n. m, news
came from the Jail that the mob was
still indicated, and had broken into
the armory OF the Veteran regiment
and taken guns. More firing was
done at the jail. 1t is reported the

ton, with prospect of sue.

The crowd claim that the soldiers were
firing unnecessarily upon outsiders,
