SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
CINCINNATI, March 30.-The crowt
has all gone from the vicinity of the
court house, and the fire engines are
playing on the fire. The carriage fac
tory fire seems to have been extin
guished by the mob. The Fourth reg
iment has not yet reached the court
house but will now have no difficulty
in getting there.
2:30 A. M.-The startling fact has
just been discovered that
THE MOB HAVE THREE CANNoNS
stationed at Fourth and Walnut
streets, and are said to have obtained
then from Music Hall. They are evil
IDENTIFY now posted here to await the
coming of the Fourth regiment, which
is expected momentarily. Instead of
the fight being over, it now looks as
if both soldiers and police will be
overpowered by the mob. The Fourth
regiment has been placed in front of
the court house with unloaded guns.
They are keeping the crowd back, but
are pelted with brickbats, and occa-
sionally pistol shot is fired. Lieuten-
ant Liggett has been wounded in the
leg. The police are worn out, and be-
sides have no arms to cope with the
mob. The troops are insufficiently
supplied with ammunition. No sign
yet of the Fourth regiment. Reports
from the depot say the men scattered,
and when Col. Harper's order arrived,
the colonel commanding was unable
to get his troops together. 1t is evil
dent the mob must BIZ permitted to
enter the Jail, or the power of the state
must be put forth with much greater
vigor before the end of this trouble is
reached.
ga. M.-The mob in possession of
the cannon at Fourth and Walnut
seem to have no powde-, and were
trying to secure some. They had OBJ
tanned kegs of iron to be used instead
of canister, and were moving up
Fourth street when squad of thirty
policemen, under command of Lieut.
enant Burke, emerged from Ham,
mond street station house, only half a
from South Fourth street, when
by gallant charge, without firing a
pistol, captured all the guns and

A report on the street this morning
stated Berner had been re-captured
and hung at LoYeland This, how
ever, proved groundless. Another
story is that Berner, in running from
the crowd at Loveland, ran into the
Miami river and was drowned. This
is not improbable, as the night was
very dark, and no trace can be found
of him.
The whole county has been secured
by excited citizens, and if he is found
alive he will most certainly be
lynched.
