A CINCINNATI MOB.
THE 11ISINO TIDE.
CINCINNATI , March 28. The excite
ment over the Bornor case is growing.
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. Impossible yet to got information
mation about their movementa , because
the streets around the court house am
jail are jammed. A reporter of the As
sociated Press says at 11 p. m. : "From
the atone wall of the jail yard I saw a
great crowd of mon inside the jail , bul
V
1. they had not yet reached the cell room.
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. Patro
wagons nro standing in front of tlio jail ,
surrounded by people. "
THE MILITIA
has bean ordered out , but largo Humbert
failed to appear. 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. It now ap
pears that Borner after the * ountoncc Wo
disguised and placed in a buggy , will

aboard the Morrow accommodation am
wont to Lovoland. It became knowi
that Bornor was at Loveland , and th
crowd made a rush for Bernor. Ho rai

There does not Boom to bo nny doubt

CINCINNATI , March 29. 12:45 : n. m.
The jail has boon fired by the mob. The
crowd on streets aay they will cut the
lose to prevent the lira department from
extinguishing it. The mob seems to
think n holocaust the only moans of ac
complishing their purpose.
IIEUNEU THOUCIIIT TO BE LYNCHED.
CoLUJintra , Ohio , 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.
CINCINNATI , March 29 1:45 : a. m.
News has just como from the jail thai
the mob have broken into the armory
of the Veteran regiment and taken the
arms. More firing has boon done at 'the
jail. The mob are now looking foi
ammunition with a prospect of success.
The First regiment's armory has boon
guarded for three nights in anticipation
of thia affair , but , the Veteran regiment ,
of which Sheriff Hawkins is colonel , did
not take the Bamo precaution. For the
purpose of getting more arms and ammu
nition the mob aro' now in
THE EXTENSIVE -OUN STOHB
of B. Kittredgo & Co. , the largest in the
city. In a few minute1) a greatly aupo
rior force to the military will bo aboul
the jail , and serious results must follow.

There is a bitter 'feeling against th

Van Wyck'a bill for the relief of sottlora
on lands on the Denver & St. Joe roil-

when the road filed ita mnpa with the in-

f the lands took place some weeks later.
Jptwoon the filing of the maps and the
rithdrawal of the lands a largo number
f actual Bottlers entered upon the lands.
'ho point was raised that the ( ilinc ; of

jut the secretary of the interior decided

consideration the proposition made by
Murphy , of Iowa , nnd others of its mom-
3ers3 [ toj insert nn appropriation for
' .ho Honnopin canal in the river and har
bor bill. This will bo vigorously fought
against by the river and jmrbor commis-
aion , who feel that it is going7 to have all
can well carry in its legitimate river and
harbor appropriation. They claim that
the Honnopin canal measure properly
belongs to the committee on railways
and canals , and that a bill appropriating
? 1 , 000,000 for that canal reported from
that committee and now on the calendar ,
will probably bo defeated if inserted in

vor of its passage , urging the encourage-
monk it would give the Southern states.
It would do nioro to solve the race ques
tion than the 13th and 14th and 15th
Amendments. Ho objpetod to the amend
ment putting the disbursement of the
money in the hands of federal officers.
Mr. Cullom ( rop. , 111. ) would not vote
for the bill iii its present Bhnpo , but
thought it ought to be in some respects
amended. So far ns Illinois was con
cerned , she Yras perfectly able and will
ing to educate all her children. Ho
know ho spoke the sentiments of his
people when ho said Illinois neither
asked or desired to receive ix _ dollar for
educational aid from the United tatus
government. Ho would like to BOO the
appropriation confined to the southern
states exclusively , nnd so adjusted ns to
begin with only nbout ? ( i,000,000 , with a
riao ovrry few years ns the money could
bo profitably applied , nnd then diminish
year by year ns the states themselves became -
came able to curry on the work , Ho
would inuko the total appropriation $10-
000,000 instead of § 105,000,000.
Mr. George ( dom. , Miss. ) favored the
bill. ' He said ho had always opposed
nnd would continue to oppoao centraliza
tion , but ho could not shut his eves tc
irrevocable facts. Ho had once bollovoi
n state had n right to secede from the
union. Ho believed now that the right
had existed , hut it had boon irrevocably
lost amid the clang of arms and the horrors
rors of war. The world moves , nnd we
must move with it.
