It is now reported that an orgnnizotion is forming among the Germans not only to hang Bernor , but other prisoners in the jail charged with murder. William Berner was quietly brought before Judge Matthews this afternoon and sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years , being - ing the full limit of the law. Ho started ( for Columbus in charge of a strong guard early this evening. TEN THOUSAND ANOHY PEOPLE. CINCINNATI , March 28. Ten thousand people gathered at Music hall to-night in response to n call by reputable citizens to take action on the Bornor verdict. Many could not get in. Strong resolutions were adopted condemning the verdict. A committee on legislation was appoint ed Upon adjournment the vast crowd moved directly to the jail whcro they r BEGAN AN ATTACK on the front door. At 9:40 : the riot alarm was sounded summoning the entire police force to the jail. Vast crowds of people are gathering in that vicinity. Bornor was removed after his sentence this afternoon , and is now on hia way to Columbus , but if the mob gets in the other murderers will be lynched. The police upon arriving in the vicinity of the f jail commanded the crowd to move ; not li being obeyed they fired , but no ono was hurt. It was presumed they FIRED IN THE AIK. It is said the police nro .deeply in sym pathy with the movement to condemn the outrageous Berner verdict. A ahol or two was fired from the jail , but the crowd rofuaod to move. They have n good leader , and are still (10 ( p. m. ) al work at the jail door. " INSIDE TUE JAIU t ] CINCINNATI , March 28. At 11 p. m. reports from the jail Bay the crowd hae got inside.

They were well supplied with tools , nnc at work at the doors. There was appar ently no resistance to the mob , nnd on the other had no violence had been offered forod to persons by the mob.

There is a general dis position not to interfere with the mob Nothing haa yet boon heard from Shorif Hawkins , who is inside the court house and cannot bo reached. Mayor Stophom is confined to his house by sickness leaving the sheriff wholly responsible foi I the preservation of order , except for tin assistance of the chief of police. MILITIA IN THE JAIL. CINCINNATI , Match 2H 1130 ; p. m.- The First regiment , Ohio National Guard has just entered the jail , having booi marched through the front entrance o the court house , thence through the tunnel nol into the jail , wlioro the mob ii thronging. It remains to bo BCCI whether the militia will do anything tx frustrate the purpose of she mob. Thi police inside the jail arrested some of tin first mcmbora of the mob , but thi soon became impracticable. The polici refrained from using pistols. UCIlNIIlt AT LAJOj ; . CI.VW.VNAJI , March 28.

Passen gers arriving hero on the midnight train 'rom Cincinnati report that Bornor , the murderer , on route to the pcnitotinry , was taken from the train by a largo mob it Loveland , nud it is thought ho has ) cou lynched. A FALSE Fini ! ALAUM. 1:30 : p.jn. The fire engines responded to the n larm , but nfter much dilllculty in rotting near found the nlarm false , occa sioned by n bon fire built near the jail. As the building ia mainly of stone and iron it will bo difficult to fire it from without. AN AurUAL CONFLICT. It now appears there was an actualcon- lict between the mob and military , though still it is most likely the wounds } f the police and military were inflicted by the fire of the latter when the inner door between the reception room and the cell rooms was broken down. The mili tary tired on the mob nnd Low Kent , a , aborora , member of the mob , wns killed , this seemed to break the spirit of the mob , though they did not retire has tily. A NUMI1ER OF IIUICKBATS wore thrown by them at the soldiers and police , but there was not much bitterness fooling displayed on either siiio. Tlio really superior strength ol the defend ers of the jail over the unarmed and im promptu mob was so manifest when the tormor opened fire that it .would have boon utter folly to make any further effort. Twenty-live or thirty are arrested and in jail. The jailor's residence in the jail , which was entered by a portion of the mob , wns rudely handled. Windows were broken and furniture smashed. From this a number of men made their way into the kitchen , thence to the lower sorridor. After the relinquishment of the main effort to got at the prisoners the mob lingered outside , throwing stones and brickbats at the windows. THE JIOll IN TOE AllMOttV.
