Outbreak.
| During Sunday Cincinnati presented
the appearance of city in a state o,
siege; the streets we're barricaded in
every direction: troops were hurrsina
through the streets; and the morgus
and other public buildings were filled
with the dead, while blood stains or
the pavernents here and there marked
the places where the deadly volleys had
been fired. Throughout the day the
streets were comparatively free of peo
pie. but towards evening crowds began
to gather. and conflicts took place be
| tween the mob aud the troops. AL
though there WAS nothing approaching
the bloody work If SATURDAY. night, a
nunber OF persons were killed and
| wounded. Among the latter Briggs
swift. prominent citizen. Az the
night wore on the mob began To dis
perse. and Monday morning found the
city again comparatively quiet. In the
neaAtlne, a large number of citizens
enrolled themselves as special police
and the various posts of the Grand
Army located In Cincinnati offered
their services TO the authorities.
THE SITUATION YESTERDAY MORNING.
CINCINNATI, March 3l-Everything is
| quiet this morning. Bat very few peo-

are brought together by curiosity. The

YOUNGSTOWN. o., March 3l.-Gover-
nor HOadley has ordered Lieutenant
| Colonel Surileff, of this city. to rendez-
vous the Eighth regiment of the ONO
National Guard at Akron and there to
await orders.
STILL vIGILAST.
CINCINNATI, March 3l.-At midday
there is no appearance of relaxation of
preparations for defense. Barrica des of
barrels and every other sort of material
still remain across the avenues ap-
preaching the county buildings. and
beyond them stand the militia with
guns. Fixed bayonets are everywhere
bristlinR. The police have been sent
| away To their regular posts and are ob
tanning some rest. Though the general
feeling is that there will be no further
outbreak, there is no lacking of men
who predict otherwise.
ACTION OF THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE.
At meeting of the Citizens Commit
tee appointed bv the Mayor, resolutions
were adopted thanking the Governor
and the Ohio National Guard for the
aid rendered the civil authorities: pIed1-
ing support to the Mayor in the course
he has adopted, and promising to fur
nish additional means If, in the opinion
of the Mayor, additiaOnl force il nee, s.
sary. RESOLUTIONS we're also adopted
appointing sab committee to provide
rooms for the use of the courts and re-
commen.ing that the Cont Of Common
Pleas proceed at once To dispose of the
criminal cases. Tue Mayor requested
a select executive committee OF fifteen
from the members of this meeting for

should be referred.
UNvERIFIED RtPOBIs.
Reports have been received that a
shot fired this morning by the militia
entered the Sc cond intermediate school
house on Ninth street, between Main
and Walnut /: also that two men were
shot, bnt this is not verified.
RECORDS SAVED.
1t has been astertained with great
satisfaction that nearly the entire set of
records in the Recorders office, con-
tanning the records Of deeds, mortgages
etc, are saved. A person ia ,uiliar with
the Office says that not more than fifty
volumes of records are gone, covering
TN fnr alb of
the city years ago. This will be Of in
menss value, considering what else
might have been lost. IL Is Supposed
that the money in the treasury vaults
and the records in the Probate Judges
vaults are safe, but the safes cannot
yet be opened.
THE SHOOTING OF BRIGGS SWIFT.
The physician attending Briggs Swift
says his condition il much improved.
though his advanced age, IS years, makes
the chances of recovery less. Mr.. Swift.
with II. Hanna, was walking up Main
street toward the court house, when. at
the southeast corner of Ninth and Main
streets, the soldiers ordered them to
halt. They Obeyed. but Immediately
afterward a gun was di,ch urged in front
of them. and both fell, Mr.. Swift shot
through the thigh. Mr.. Hanna tainted
from excitement.

Cincinnati state that at noon Governor
Hoadley ordered the troops sn route to
return. The Fourth and Fourteenth
Regiments have been relieved. and the
rest of the troops are held In Cincinnati
until further orders. The city will be
guarded until Wedns sdav at least.
YANKEE BRAss.-A short time ago
certain sewing machine agent named
G. arrived in Victoria. obtained EN-
ploy ment at over $3.50 month and
lived at the rate of over $500. This
little idiosyncr.sy necessitated a sud
den aud secret departure, and conse-
auentiy Que morning contiding cred
itors became painfully aware the stock
ing knitter and lsck-stitch man had
skipped the trallal-loo. But with an
assurance, for which his nation 8 noted.
Yesterday as the passengers of the Olvm-
plan were landing at the wharf, 1t was
noticed that G.. with bran new
overcoat, u plug hat. walking stick and
valise, WAS among the number, and
looked moreover as much at home ~ If
he were at home. The reader can im-

going for q stroll, walked away. The
proprietor, however, rightly thinking
