rest of the troops have been ordered to
remain in Cincinnati till further orders.
The city will be guarded till Wednesday

CMoMNAT1, April There was no
disturbance last night. The militia pre-
vented the congregation of people and
in every instance their orders were re-
spectfully obeyed. Several drunken
men were arrested, and the police closed
the saloons at midnight. Members of
the Grand Army of the Republic as
sisted the police in patrolling the city.
During the night smouldering fire in
flames, but it was promptly extin-
guished.
About o'clock last evening fatal ac-
cident happened in front of the jail. A
number of soldiers of the Governors
Guard, Columbus, we're lying against
the stone wall on the sidewalk asleep,
when one of the guns leaning against
the wall was knocked down and dis
charged. The ball struck the wall and
glancing struck Iserall 8. Gatz in the
eye and lodged in his brain. He was
removed to the hospital in dying con-
dition. Gatz was clerk in railroad
Office at Columbus.
The lists of killed and wounded COM
piled yesterday make the number of
killed forty. eight. There are 1875
wounded at the hospitals. Numbers
are known to have been carried to their
homes, and as they belonged to the mob
their names will not be reported by
their families unless it is found they are
dangerously hurt. The total number of
casualties was probably not far from
200, not including those who were
dubbed by the police or hurt by brick
bats. The following deaths have oc-
Cured since last reports: Fred
Bickenhorst, Leroy Simmons, Chas.
Miller, Andrew Nichols, Henry Mel
meyer, Phillip Raabe, and Thos. P.
Green. The following are the most Sc
rious cases now at the hospital, and the
death of any of them is momentarily ex-
pected: Lee Simons, shot through the
right lung. Leo Vogelgessang's is q Pc
culiar case. The entire top of his skull
was blown off by shot from the Cat
ling gun, and the patients brain is laid
bare, yet he is apparently conscious of
his surroundings, and seems to have
some. though feeble, control of his mus
cles. Charles Miller, an old German,
whose wife and daughter are with him,
is also in critical condition, with q
wound in his left temple, from which
protrude his brains.
The morning has been free from any
incident indicating any change in the
sitnatlon. The proposed relief of the
militia by the civil force cannot be put
into operation speedily, if at all, as the
selection of suitable men and their
equipment must take time. The mi.
lltia still keep the streets barricaded as
strongly as ever, not even allow
ing the Mt. Auburn street.

distance of two squares within the lines
to pass through. As to the state of pub
lie feeling, it cannot be said that the
original impulse that actuated the men
taking part in the demonstration, Satur-
day night, has been removed or lessened
by the presence of the military. On
the contrary, the events Friday and
Saturday nights have given rise to new
feeling, that of indignation against the
militia. Only the hopelessness ola con-
flict with its powerfully armed force pre-
vents an attack upon it. The newspa-
pers, usually conservative in tone, speak
with great freedom to-day on the situa-
ton as it now is. The Volksblatt (Ger-
mani saws: "The calling of
the militia Oh Friday night can
only be characterized as q
crave mistake, Our militia know AID
can do nothing else, it appears, but
| shooting. If reliance had been placed
on the police force order might probably
have been restored without loss of ife."
The Freie Presse (German) says: 'sThe
indignation Of the people is on the IN
crease, on account OF the rough and
wholly unprovoked shooting upon peace
able citizens and upon women and chill
dren, and that increase OF indignation
is becoming more and more fearful. 1t
may be dreaded upon too reasonable
grounds that shedding of blood is not
yet ended, but will begin afresh." It
blames Sheriff Hawkins, Mayor Ste
phens and Gov. Hoadly, the first two

coming here to see for himself what the
situation required.
CINCINNATI, O., April 2.-One of the
