THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. THIRTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA , NEB. MONDAY MOKNING , MARCH 3U 1884. \ mftfr U uJL SISTy No 'doubt ail know that goods ha.ve never been so low in the annals of the trade , and after the manufacturers have un loaded their overstock , a sudden rise may be looked for. Our buyer has taken advantage of this depression in the trade/ and bought heavily , and intend giving you the benefit of it. Not only in Cotton Goods , but in Silks , to which we have.paich especial' ' attention , as our trade in this department has grown to such proportions that one of our firm gives his undivided attention to this department exclusively , and having just returned from one of the largest silk sales in New York , lu\ \ has secured the greatest bargains in Black Silks that was ever offered on this continent. The silks have been received ana will be placed on sale Monday morning , March 31st , when this great sale will start , making the largest lot and the best bargain in Black Silks that was ever received in Omaha by any one firm , without any exception , This lot consists of four different quallities. We deem it unnecessary to mention what same qualities are sold for what other houses paid for them and what they are worth and retailing for to day. But what we will say is they were bought by us at such an extraordinary low figyre that the same widths and qualities cannot be sold at these prices outside of our establishment , as we were the only Omaha buyers at this immense sale ; and also one of the largest purchasers we , managed to secure such lots benefiting us of sufficient quantities before the sale was stopped as the ruling prices were so extremely low , the owner could not stand such a great sacrifice , to continue the sale longer. t / / inch Black Silk , 85 Cts , ; 22 inch Black Silk , 22 inch Black Silk , Si.25. ; 22 inch Black Silk , $1,65. * r * .

As the meeting at the music hall aa- ourned last nignt the attention of the _ ooplo was attracted by a short -young man who cried out "To the jail , follow mo and'hang 'Berner. " Although there night have bocn an intention to organ ize a mob , this was the first time it found out in decided 'expression. The cry fan soon taken up and spread apidly iuid th'o crowd around the ml soon reached ten thousand eople. There seemed to bo about 00 men in the lead , whu took the initiative n all steps , but a aid littlo. As coon as it learned in the .jail that a-mob was utside'Sheriff Hawkins called , iip Tire ilarehall Bunker by telephone , and the lot alarm was Rounded. The ishorifF and oseo made all preparations to repel the .ttack. On the way to the jail the mob ooucod a long , heavy scantling and used t as a battering ram , They began opo- ationn on the north outside door , and n ado a hole largo enough TO ADIilll1 A AfAN'8 ' IJODV ihrough which the mob crowded , thick nd fast , and about fifty mounted the iairn. Hero they were mot by a detail f police and the ohorjff and forced back nto the jail oflico. By this time the mob utsidu had procured a long , lieavy loarrf , and placing it in an iron ailing in front of the jail , pushed t through the window into the second tory , with this they broke out the ontirc ash and inside shutters and scrambled nto tko apartment of Jivilor Brady , This successful move encouraged the crowd who made a rush for the south door lead- ng to the street from the second story , which ia lioro on a lovcl with the pave ment. Tliis soon gave way and the mob wont through /in great number * . The ihorifTa force consisted of ' 1U men. When the mob entered they were withdrawn 'mstily into thn jail proper , leaving between - twoon them and the mob the heavy grated 'iron door which separates the reception room from the cell room. This is at the 'oot of the stairway leading up to the cell room. The reception room was jam- mud and the mob kept calling "aivi : us jJuusfEii ; CIIVB ua JOH.VHON , " and so on through the list of murderers confined iu the jail. Thoru seemed to bo no loader. Finally a tall , muscular negro began to give orders , and the mot quickly obeyed , A epnoo was clcaroc and a plank used as battering ram brough to bear against the iron doer. Behind the door stood Sheriff Hawkins and hi men with drawn revolvers. The alien ! said calmly that it meant death to onto that door. The crowd wavered a momcn and hesitated. Then the colored Icudo gave word to swing the plank. Ho wai instantly obeyed , and the gale tromblec with the shock. A JHWliy BHOUr WENT VI1 , The second stroke from the battorin ram made the gate weaken percejt Wy the third loosened its bolts P J it net open. Sheriff Hawkins had instructe his mon not to fire , as ho did not wish to shod blood. Ho attempted to address the mob , bnt they flow liy him up the winding iron stairway to the cell room. They sought Berner , but soon discovered ho was gono. Then they wont to "ohnspn's cell , ono of the murderers1 f the1 Taylor family atAvondaloV The lorriQed prisoner suffered mbro/ih'anl catli as ho looked on the determined nen outside. A powerful plank was irought up to batter down door of the ell , but the small space prevented its use with effect , besides the deputy sheriffs aught hold of the plank and prevented ts being used. Meantime Chief of olicu Iteilly- , hearing men were in jail , iniored through the court house and hrougb thho tunnel from it to the interior - , ior of the jail. With this combined orco the men were put out of corridors about the cells and the -raob seemed to be epulsed. NOT A BIIOTOTUED ifj to this time by Jtho forces within the ail. / The rtalrway was again taken pojsesslon of jy the flboriff with his unito'd forces anil n trugplo began for the Iron gate. The' colored Ing loader waa ucled by Lieut. Dunn , struck n the bead and dragged ineiJo. Then the jato wai closed , eoverul cithers being arrcatoil ibout tlis same ttnio. The battering ram irokon In two served as o braeo for the gate , riio mob seemed repulsed and tlio story vent out spending through the outfildo crowd < nly to infliuno to moro notions of- ort. Efforts were redoubled nt ill entrances and tlio southern gate to the ail yaid was broken down. Moantiina Sheriff lawkins eontan order to Col.

COMMANDER HUM'S HTATBSIK.VT. Colonel Hunt , commander of the militia , ives this version of the firing on the mob : 'When woendeavored to pass through the tunnel we found it occupied by a mob who , just as noon i g the twule.idiug riles made their * ppearano b gau flringon us nnd throe or .fcmr-pflhe hading men fell , badly wounded. Tha deputy sheriff , who was with us , ordered the men to return the firo. which they did ? nnd cleared the tunnel. In every Instance the men fired under orders. Most of the shot wounds caino from 'the indiscriminate firing of the mob. " This account of the firing Is directly contradicted by Officer Van Seg- Kern , whoso story has been told already.

Jierner had sprung from his Boat , but In at tempting tujump from the platform haell / headlong to the ground. It was donbt'osa this accident that prevented the crowd from recognizing him. The train boy waa stuudinir on the platform at the time , and tayH Bonier walked around the car and entered again from the roar.
