the appearance of fortress except hcav!
guns. That most fearful street engine o
destruction, the Calling gun, ~belonging-t,
the police force, is also on duty. Lat,
this evening the police and soldiers ar,
busy under Sheriff Hawkins direction
barricading the streets in every direction
at a distance of one hundred yards from
the jail.
These thorough preparations added to
the fact that more troops are coming may
hold the mob in check. The fact is nc
night was not premeditated was spon-
taneous and not growing out of incendiary
speeches or resolutions at the meeting, for
these were all conservative, but out of the
fact that the great body together on the
streets with the common feeling of intense
indignation at the criminal farce played
by Berner and the jury and at the general
slackness in the administration of justice
to murderers. The mob spirit grew by
degrees and was not the result of a settled
plan. To-day circulars have been dis
tributed calling for the organization of
vigilance committees, three hundred to
each ward. 1t is anonymous and seems
to have no respectable backing.
CINCINNATI, March 30, II p. NIT is
rumored the mob has captured a Calling
gun from the police. Powell's gun store
was been into and the mob are getting all
the available arms and ammunition. 1t
is reported eight persons have been killed.
The fire is still raging at the court house
and it seems impossible to save the
structure.
When the mob had robbed Powell's
gun store, it was fired. When the patrol
wagon respoded TO the alarm it was fired
on by the mob, killing one man and
wounding Others, The fire was, however,
sxtinguished, The mob has lost all CON
troll and seems bent on destruction pure
and simple. The burning of the court
house gives no aid to the original purpose
oflynching the murderers, and its destruc-
ton only adds loss to disgrace. The firing
upon the mob has been merciless, whether
by Gatling gun or by the soldiers. No
one can estimate the loss of life or injury
by wounds.
AT THE TAT CAPITOL.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 29.-The riot
alarm has been calling the military to-
gether for half an hour. The fourteenth
regiment is resting on their arms waiting
for a special train to Cincinnati. Four
regiments, with headquarters at Dayton,
have also been ordered by the governor to
fall in for orders. The train men and
passengers who arrived here after mid
night give the following account of the
mob at Loveland and Morrow and the eff
fort to get Berner, the murderer, to Col
umbus: Two deputies with Berner
drove from Cincinnati over to Linwood
and there took the accommodation train
to Loveland. This part of the journey
was made without accident. Joe Moses
was then to go to the Little Miami depot
and quietly board the train for Columbus
and join the two deputies and Berner at
Loveland. When the Little Miami train
pulled into Loveland, Berner was placed
vi inc car neN' 10 'ne sleeper pu,ore me
deputies sat near him, but did not have
him fastened to them. Joe Moses sat in
the next car and in advance. As the
