MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.
This morning the Thirteenth Regiment
under command of Colonel f. Picard, with
unattached Second Troop of Cavalry, the
Scott Dragons, of IIilsboro, under COM
mand of Captain Ed. L. Mullenix, arrived
by special train, and this evening the
Seventeenth Regiment, from Coshocton
arrived by way of the Pan
Handle route and were marched to City
Park to be held as a. reinforcement to the
soldiers on duty at the Jail. Besides there
are EN- route and to arrive tonight one sec
ton of the Fifth Bettery, of Dayton, Smith
nights Battery, from Cleveland, and the
Third Regiment, from. Covington, This
makes in all six regiments, two batteries and
one troop of cavalry to be here during the
night.
1880 p. M.--At this hour the situation is
most encouraging. 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 magni-
tude. 1t may be the furious volleys fired
into Conrt Street and down Main Street at
8 o'clock were merciful after all, as they
seem to have prevented the gathering of any
large crowd at any point.
THE END REACHED.
2:30 a. m.-The presence of the large
military force has brought the fearful riot
TO an end. The widest communist now
sees that it would be folly to attempt
to cope with this great power of
the State. Worn as they have been,
the police are quickly resuming con-
up, wherever found, the little bands of ma
rauding thieves. AT two a. m. the police
reported everybody going home and the
city quiet. Among the men in Jail for par
ticipating in the riot is Peggy" Warren, a
member of the last Legislature. He is said
to have been among the most active in
counselingthe robbery of the gun stores.
BERNER IN THE PENITENTIARY.
COLUMBUS, March 30.-Berner was
landed in the Penitentlary at eight o'clock
last night, being accompanied by IA strong
guard of specials, commanded by Deputy
Sheriff Joe Moses of Cincinnati. He had
most eventful experience of escapes for the
past thirty hours. After leaping from the
train he wandered over the country, keep
ing in sight of the railroad, and finally
rested in box car on the siding, till nearly
daylight when he broke for the woods and
was overtaken about ten o'clock by Deputies
Moses and Devote, who kept up the chase
with buggies. They had difficulty in keeping
him concealed during the day, and finally
drove to Fosters Crossing, the next station
beyond Loveland, where they had previously
arranged to meet some newspaper cores
pondents. They had changed Berner's
clothes, put Derby instead of soft hat
on him, and had him so changed that no
one would have recognized him from the
descriptions. They turned him over to two
correspondents and then claimed that they
had failed to find their man. There was
quite crowd at the place. however, before
the train arrived there at four o'clock, and
the people suspected them and called for
Berner, but they got off safely.
Berner was at once taken into a closed
express car by the journalists and the off
GERS were in the coaches pretending to be en-
route to the Capital for adyices and aid.
They kept the Governor advised by the con-
ductor sending dispatches from every
station, and the Governor got the officials to
have the train stopped half a mile from the
depot here and close to the penitentiary,
when Berner was taken in on the run.
There were crowds at all of the
stations making inquiries, and a multitude
awaited the train in and about the city here,
but they were given the slip. A detach-
ment of fifteen police and large number
of prison guards had been quietly located
at the suburban crossing, where they alight-
ed, and they succeeded in getting there one
by one without arousing suspicion. They
made large crowd, however, on the double
quick to the prison gate.
Berner was scared nearly to death. He
was the first man Warden Thomas ever saw
glad to get behind the walls. He rejoiced
when he was inside, and wanted something
to eat and a chance to rest After supper
he related his trip, with every one he met
cursing and boiling for his blood. He is
eighteen years old sentenced to twenty
years. and hopes to outlive 1t. He retired
early and will attend chapel tomorrow,
resting the first day.
