the populace became little less than revo.

more against the military and all other
authority than against the murderers who
were the prime cause of the terrible out

Through the afternoon Sheriff Hawk

every precaution to protect the Court
house and jail. The streets leading to
those buildings were barricaded and no.

blocks of them without a permit. BY
strange oversight, however, the rear of
the Courthouse was unprotected. The
mob, which had been increasing all even

the previous night, soon discovered this
vulnerable point, and before 10 p. m. they
had entered the building and

The Sheriff was quickly on hand, and
the leaders demanded the prisoners in the
County Jail. He firmly refused to sur.
render them, and warned those who were
bent upon mischief that they would meet
with certain death if they made another
attempt to enter the jail. The First Regi-
ment was stationed between the fire and
the mob, their guns being unloaded this
time, and the militia were continually as
saulted with brickbats, stones and fire.

LONDON, March 31.-Later advices give
the details of Gordon's engagement near
Half Teh on the l6ta inst. The rebels
pursued the Egyptians for two miles after
the battle. The confusion during the re-
treat was fearful to behold. The Egyptian
regulars and Bashi Bazouks kept shouting
out that their generals had betrayed them.
The wounded received no attention for
seven hours. The troops had been clam
oring for three weeks before they met the
enemy. In the early part of the encounter
the Egyptians were successful and the en-
envy were actually in full retreat when
their cavalry made dashing charge.
Despite the reverse, the inhabitants
still remain staunch friends of General
Gordon. One Arab lent him FL 200, as his
treasury is empty. Another Arab equip
ped 200 blacks for him. Two black pashas
have been arrested for charging into the
ranks of their own troops, thus allowing
the enemy to enter the gap made.

range of their guns, some Of the
rioters apparently counting death.
Now and then wounded man or a
corpse was taken out of the surging
crowd, and then again the mob would get
angry and threaten all sorts of things.
During the night a large portion of the
crowd moved down Main street, and,
stopping at Powell's gun store, made
preparations to force an entrance. They
started to batter in the windows and
doors, but private Waterman standing
in front told them to
GO IN DECENTLY
II they were going in at all. They made
rush Tor the door, and the first man to
enter fell dead Just inside the threshold.
He was shot by somebody inside An
other entered, second shot was fired
and he too fell near the door After a
moments hesitation another advance was
made, some shots were fired and five
bodies lay piled on top of each other in
Powe's doorway. Two of the men were
dead, the Others were fatally wounded.
The crowd did not dare to move against
the store again, but attempted to burn it
down, without doing very great damage.
The shots were fired by Powell in defense
of his property.
The Morgue through the night was
filed with dead bodies. Most of them
were identified early in the morning.
THE MOB DISPENSING.
AT a. m, the mob began to melt away,
and by five O'Clock there were only few
thousand people around the Courthouse.
The militia had had neither rest nor sleep
for twenty-four hours, and the Sheriff
feared that If the fight should be renewed
he would not be able to protect the jail
any longer To add to his discontinue
the Fourth Regiment, ordered to Cincin-
natl, arrived but refused to report at the
Jail. 1t scattered in the vicinity of the
| depot, and when its officers attempted to
| get the men together it was found that
they had disappeared.
BURNING THE COURT HOUSE
was a senseless proceeding on the part OF
| the mob, and entirely wanton. It's de-
| struction could not in any way lead to the
capture Of the murderers in jail, nor can
it be seen how it could have satisfied the
| insane thirst for vengeance which seemed
to have compile control over the mob.
There We're inthe throng thousands of re-
spectacle citizens, business men and heavy
taxpayers, who must have known that
they We're in effect destroying their own
property, for it is upon them that the loss
will fall. The Court House was a mag
niticent building, and the loss will be a
heavy one TO Hamilton County.

The Courthouse and Records.

CINCINNATI, o., March 3l.-The dam.
age to the Courthouse building,
though great, has been much less than
it would have been had not the building
been almost tire-proof. The chief COM
bustible material in it was the furni-
ture. All the walls are intact. Every
stairway was of iron throughout The
floors were of brick, arched over with
boiler iron and supported by iron
joists. The building can be improved by
remodeling, and completely restored for
use by next winter. 1t was the most
perfect building in the city in its con-
struction, and it cost nearly million. 1t
is said now that

CINCINNATI, o., March 3l,-At daylight
yesterday morning the streets in the vi
cinity Of the Courthouse began to ill up
again. Those appearing on the scene
were either entirely fresh arrivals or men
Who had spent the night drinking in the
saloons, or asleep on the sidewalks and
loorsteps. 1t was noticeable that there
were more drunken men than on either Of
thepreyious days, and this fact created the
greatest alarm among the soldiers
md policemen. 1t was learned
Early in the morning that the
number of killed and wounded was much
greater than had been supposed, and peo-
pie began to feel that the riot was no
nearer an end than ii was on Friday
light. The lines around the courthouse
and jail were extended by barricading the
streets distance of a quarter of mile
but the mob found its way beyond the
lines, and the fear of further trouble was
undated. The anger of the populace
against the militia was deep and bitter.
There seemed to be general feeling in
favor of driving the military out of the
city, but as on the previous night there
was no leadership

The State Militia in Poss ession.
CINCINNATI, o., March 3l.-The State
Militia are here in force and have full pos
session. They are here in overwhelming
numbers and more are coming. There is
no possibility that any combination car
defeat them.
THE PANICKY FEELING
has departed. Mr.. Briggs Swift, the
millionaire pork merchant, who was shot
by militia last night while discharging his
duties as a member of the Citizens Com
mittec, is dying. Pillagng in the west
ern part Of the city has entirely stopped.
Not much damage has been done there.
Increasing the Police Force--The Killed
And Wounded.
CINCINNATI, o., March 3l.-The Com
mittee of fifteen appointed by Mayor
Stephens, held a meeting in Pixies build
ing at noon, and decided to increase the
police force to 1000 men, the enrolment
to commence at once, for the purpose OF
reviewing the militia force, and TO be PAID
by popular subscription and contributions
to be reimbursed hereafter. A reso-
luton was adopted calling on the
citizens to organize in each ward
for protection and order.
The total number of those known to be
killed is forty-eight. 1t is thought a
number were taken to their homes and
not reported who have since died from
their wounds.
The total number of those known to be
wounded is 1913. Many of the wounded,
among those who could walk to their
homes were not reported. 1t is thought
that between two and three hundred were
more or less wounded.

was established beyond which nobody
was allowed to pass. During the day the
crowd annoyed the militia by throwing
stones and other missiles at them. At
the Main street bridge Fred Smalize, who
had been amusing himself by hurting
brickbats at the soldiers, stepped beyond
the limits. He was warned tokeep back,
but paid no attention. One of the mill
tiamen raised his gun and shot him dead.
PROCLAMATIONS
of the Mayor were posted around the
city, several regiments arrived from
other towns, and before night there
were 5000 men under arms in the
neighborhood of the jail A Citizens
Committee was also organized to assist
in the restoration of order. Up to
ten O'Clock at night the streets were
filled with excited people, but the back
bone of the riot was evidently broken,
and no further trouble of serious
nature was feared. Stray shots were
heard occasionally, and few persons
were wounded, but this was more the
result of whisky drinking than any,
thing else. At two O'Clock this morn
ing the police reported for the first time
that the city was quiet, and that the mob
had entirely dispersed.
