THE MOB AND ITS SPIRIT.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
C1NCINNATI, March 30.-The actual mob which
led in the bloody riots of lest night did not num-
Der more than two hundred persons, but they
We're encouraged in their mad freaks by the wild
cheers of thousands who had fallen into the
crowd from no other motive than an excited
desire to witness the frightful scenes
which being enacted and thus
the multitude of spectators became the abettors
of the rioters. The spectators were excited and
the rioters melted. Each were both in
varying degree, and the culpability of the two
classes blends accordingly. The rioters were
hoodlums and nothing more. They were actu-
ated by no such feeling as indignation or a dis
position to avenge outrageous injustice. The
Journal representative mingled with the mob
during some of its most desperate and most sub
dued moments. 1t was formed of class that
has no other regard for law than fear of its
penalties The majority were youths of twenty
years or less-many we're boys-and the older
men were all of low and drunken class. They
were all hoodlums turned wild They engaged
in the riot with much the same spirit and enthu-
siasm that aparty of rough boys would game of
'shinny.' They were thrilled by the dangers
and excitement, and the cheers of the spectators
urged them in their mad strife to excel in
daring. No one was recognized as leader, but
everyone trying to lead the way into somo
new excess or danger The assault
upon the windows of the Court
house was started by some boot blacks, and
it was the youths of this class who joined in the
demonstration with the greatest enthusiasm.
The mob had no spirit of vengeance, but there
was spirit of riot, The frightful havoc is the

CINcINNATI March 30--920 p M-The bloody
work anticipated in these dispatches this after
noon is being realized About o'clock this
afternoon two men were killed and three
wounded Things remained comparatively quiet
for few hours, but during all this tine there
was great excitement and mutterings of the
coming trouble. AT o'clock Briggs Swift, a
prominent pork dealer of this city, was in the
neighborhood of the Courthouse, and as he was
passing axe barricade on Sycamore street he
was ordered to halt by the militia, and
no sooner was the word given than ball en-
tered his groin and he fell full length in the
gutter, but was not killed. A moment after
another man was killed at the next barricade
These shots infuriated the mob, and it made a
rush toward the Jail. AT this instant the Cat
Ting gun was turned lof se and about forty shots
were fired in quick succession, and the greatest
excitement prevailed. Your reporter did not
stop to count the dead and wounded.
The mayors order to close the saloons was
generally observed, but there are hundreds of
drunken men on the streets The mayors
proclamation to the people to "emain in after Z
O'Clock tonight has had no effect whatever as
there are thousands on the streets now. A citi-
zens' meeting was held at the City Hall, tonight
with the mayor as chairman but definite
steps were taken further than to appoint meet
ing early to morrow morning
THE SHOOTING OF MIR. SWIFT.
IL P. M.-There is no diminution in the ex-
citement. The shooting by the militia of Briggs
Swift, millionaire, living at 81 West Eighth
street, and one of the most highly respected
men in town, has created new alarm. The
ball struck the thigh in 'front.' hit the
bone and passed around it, and
came out behind. The doctor thinks
that while the wound itself is not fatal, he was
so Frustrated by the shock that he, at his ex
treme age, will not survive. He is seventy four
years of age. He is quiet and unobtrusive gen
teman, and was shot down without any cause
whatever. He and another well-known gentle
man, E. F. Hanna, had been in the house all day
and had simply gone out for walk, not know
ing that they were near danger.
THE MOB ABOUT TO ATTACK THE JAIL.
The volley fired by the Gatling gun at 8
o'clock was simply scare, and no one was hurt
The mob is now forming at Turner Hall. They
have sixty guns and are only waiting for ammu-
milton to make attack on the jail, proposing
to make the attack from Sycamore street. The
Jail is guarded by about 500 men, and if an at
tack is made there will be bloody work
Fifty-fve persons are now known to have been
killed or have died from their wounds during
the past forty y-eight hours. There are about $50
wounded, many of whom will die. Walter Foy,
the first shot in the riot, has just died.
