THE MOB AT MUsIC HALL.
AT OBS word was received at general
headquarters that large mob had broken
into the Music hall by breaking down the
door, and was trying to man a cannon on
exhibition in Power hall. Companies ID
and + of the Sixth regiment were sent to
drive them away and succeeded without
blOodshed, capturing the cannon and tax
ing possession of the hall.
SALOONS CLOSED.
The streets of Cincinnati present this
Sunday evening a strange appearance in
deed. The innumerable concert hall sa-
looms, restaurants and other places of re-
sort are closed, and knots of men are stand
ing around discussing the situation. In
stesd Of promenading the streets or seeking
the diff, rent places of amusement, as usual,
theypre>ent an appearance which indeed be-
tokens the city under martial law The
Fifth regiment has just arrived 1O:3O p.
IN J, composed of Company A, from New
Lexington. Captain ThieI, stationed at the
ci:y buildings; Company B, Zanesvill-,
Captain Burkhardt, also at the city
buildings: Company +, GAINESVILLE
OIio, Captain Price, stationed
al HsmmOnd street police station, company
q, from Newark, Captain Warden, Is also
at the city buildings. Company {, Mt
Vernon, Captain Murphy, not yet stationed
at the city buildings, are awaiting orders,
and company X, from Hebron, Captain
Gret, are awaiting orders at the city build
iDss. Ii is common expression among
citizens That the reception of the gang Of
men who composed the moo OF
Friday night MSS a gross mistake. The
people say openly that il would have been
better TO have given up the criminals who
are being so carefully guarded and let
them receive the well meriled punishment,
which IL appears cannot be accorded by
proper legal process in this country. The
presence OF the military and the constantly
ARRIVING RE IMPROVEMENTS
seem TO add to the mob's determination to
hold their ground rather than to exercise
an intimidating effect 1t is now said, and
killing of Captain Desmond was due to
the awkwardness of the boys who COM
posed the militia. He was shot by one Of
his own men In one of their charges upon
the mobs, but mobs are tickle, and their
feeling cannot be gagged. While expires
sions have been as just now indicated,
action has been different.
THE SITUATION ENCOURAGING.
At l1:30 p. m. the situation was most en-
The brief attack on Music
hall for the purpose of getting the cannon
there was the only thing in the shape of
an organized effort of any magnitude. 1t
may be the vicious volleys fired into Court
street and down Main street at o'clock
were successful after all, as they seem to
have prevented the gathering of any large
crowd at any point.
At about 1890 a crowd was breaking
into a pswnshop on Central avenue and
stealing pistols. A detachment Of police |
,oon settled this party and arrested a mum
he- of thieves without blOOdshed. At
1880 Col. :. III. Hursh sent the following |
dispatch 10 James McCrea, manager Pan !
Handle railroad. At the opening fire |
about S p. IN. flour or five persons were !
killed and as many wounded. including, as !
reported. two women on Court street The |
names of the injured have not been learn !
ID, but one man is reported shot at the !
Main street firing. Mr. Briggs was shot as /
-enorted already, while standing in con-
rersation with a friend some squares from |
he court house. Since the above hour oc-
shots are fired by the military, Of |
'iiher blank cartridges or into the air, 10
Keep the street clear within range.
Among rumors not before mentioned is
M that the Turner's society had met at
heir hall on walnut street, and armed
themselves to join the mob. This report
: not verified. The Germans have Teen
most intensely indignant at the Berner
-,Tdici. Should this organization enter
he lists, most serious trouble may he ex-
'ec;ed, as they are men of such tenaciiv of
suppose as TO he we'll feared. A; l2:l5
