CISaIENATI, March 3l.--At 10 O'Clock .
tonight it ia evident that law and order
reign supreme for the time being at
least. General Finly has telegrrphcd the
governor to order back the Fifth and
Seventeenth regiments en- routs here to
reinforce him, saying, "There is no Or
ganizsd mob in the city" He might
have added that there never has been
one, for the universal evidence of the
older and cooler headed city reporter
that at no time was the crowd even half
armed, or filed with any definite pur-
pose save the lyDching originally in
tended, ia borne out by the lists Of the
killed and wounded of the uilitis.
The gallant Captain Desmond was
the ouly one killed, and Of the eight
wounded by shooting, only two are seri-
ously hurt. OF the police shot, Patrol
Sturm wRs killed by the soldiers, accord
ing to the best testimony, aud Officer
Num-, most desperately hurt, attributes
his wounds to the bullets of the First
Regiment. Further evidence Of the
feeblsneas OF the response OF the deadly
fire Of tpe military is found about the
battle srounda, where most Of the bullet
marks are those of riffs sizs and force,
mingled here and there with marks |
mainly OF 81 oalibre revolvers.
