After the indignation meeting at Music Ball Friday night a portion of the crowd In the street started for tb toil.

They war beaded Ay four colored me ft la aid, bat from the-first It wu evident that thsre waa no leadsrsblp and tbat men were following a blind. Had there been an organisation Tnron of the twenty-tbree murderer In the County Jail Would bare Been baaged before midnight. The crowd ebon grew until about ten thousand person were urging down the etreete leading to the JaiL' There were about two hundred men in' the advance. Who scorned to be determined ahd to understand each When aaerur Hawkins learned tbat they were-cointBrnt had the riot alarm, "62V sounded ob tbe fire-bells, followed by the number of the nearest alarm-box, aud prepared far an attaek. The erowd began work upon the north door at the level of the atreet.

A Urge plank wss used as' a battering-ram, and tbe doof noon pri way. By ten o'clock a hole bad been made In tbe door large enough to admit on man at About the Birac lima others had deeeended into tbe area before the offlce door and forced tbelr way Into the "well." Rtaahlng Bp the etalrwaye the crowd gained tb corridor. The first attempt wa made on eell yo. 12, occupied by Johnson, one of theArondal murderers. A large scantling or plank wa nsed on the cell door, which be gan to care in.

At this point several uepuiy Sheriffs talked to the crowd, which was entirely good humored, and. with the aid of a peech from Private Watchman Bevoto, succeeded in getting them to leave the coi-ridor. While thi waa going on tbe patrol squad had responded to tbe call and dashed up Sycamore street in their heavy wagons. The erowd stopped No. 3 and ordered the squad to drive on.

The aquad turned and went about a Square down Fycamore street. In a few minute Sou 1 came gaMloping up tbe etreet and suoceeded in penetrating the crowd as far as the entrance to tbe JaiL Home shots were fired olot to the Wagon and five from the pavement. A spectator named Tony Vedder, seventeen years old, was shot In tne bead. Officer Mechly, who waa in Ho. 2, waa struck In the head with a bowlder and knocked unconscious.

Cblef Relily came with patrol wagon Ko. 1 nd entered the jail from the front, bringing with htm a large aqad of police. With the aid of these, aud such as had entered the jail before. Sheriff Hawkins drove back tbe erowd. 1 he police had orders to ore no violence, but to push the crowd out, which they Then tti crowd put.up a plank to a flrst-ttory window above the baaemcat and foroed it In.

The plank wa next used a a bridge, over which many of the crowd scrambled. Others nadaajtattafkan the aouta door, which gave Way and hundreds poored in. Private property waa respected, and many citixens helped the women who were mem ben of the Jailers families to carry the furniture to places of safety In the second story. The window were kicked out aud more men scrambled In r.ver the plank, until some one within called tipon the crowd to stay bck that there were Vuo many already In the building; aad the order waa obeyed. The crowd soon found tbat it could not gain a Amission to the Jail through these apart-luenta.

In a little while the office and a corridor leading sooth from the -vrAl" In which the stairway wind up to the above were both filled with men. The plark wa brought Into use to batter down tbe Iron door between the- wvliiaad tbe office, which door vras reinforced by abeavyseantling barricade. CM tfte-dLer door, barring the well from the Ketith corridor, iledge-kammers were brought to bear, and by midnight the lock was broken a and aome of tbe bars bad yielded. About this time both doors had given way. Meanwhile the patrol-wagons on Sy en more atreet made several dashes through the erowd, and one time aa attempt was mad to drive Ko.

4 along the west pavement to clear It, bat the erowd would not have this. It steered the horses Into the street. The erowd poured lb through both the open doors and were met by the, police, who swung their clubs manfully and cracked many a pate. Some of tbe citizens in the advance of the two erowd were seized, disarmed and rushed baek into tbe tunael aa prisoners. Pistols were drawn by tbe erowd and boulder hurled through the air Into the rank of the policemen.

Suddenly an additional horror Was added to the scene. Some one torned out the gas, leaving the soene In darkness. Home tbe erowd hurried oat after lanterns while Other relit the gas, and tbe police did the eatna. A terrible thing happened a few minute afterward. The Sheriff had sent for the tnllitla, and these el 1 1 sea soldiery marched through the Lourt-houM and by way of tbe tunnel to the jalL When the troop entered the tunnel officers Von fegrn and Phil Kunn were standing at the Iron gate which euu the tuanei off from the all.

Officer Von Seggera eailed out, "For Oeda sake, don't hoot In here. Ton will hit some of your friends." The shouting of the crowd and the oaad of tbe battering-ram, which waa till being ewung, and the rattling of bowlder eadsed the mtutla to lose their beada. An officer shouted "Fire!" and avoUeyofbuek and bird-ahot fiew pat the ffleere, aad PhlL Xunn waa struck and badly an, wnii voa Beggars, was ahot In the check. One of the militia told the reporter laaune nring waa done by the rear ranks. and that those la front had to lamp oat of tbe way to their own llvei.

There were some shots from within the Jail. It seems, aad two of tha soldier were wounded In the face." One of the prisoners In the tun-!

The eauaing noise of the report scared the crowd, which immediately retired. A aquad wa aeat down tbe south corridor and an-tber out through the office wth presented Bayonet ana lac crowd kept at a respectful uataace. The excited erowd now tried to amok the garriaen oat.

-The litst place Kates worked was the Cincinnati Coffin Factory. Those who were near htm when he fell say be waa brave aa a lion, and In tbe very front of the crowd, t'p to last night it had not been decided what disposition will be made with the body. It was the body of Tony Brldenstein that was taken to Hablg's at three o'clock yesterday, morning In Billy Cunningham's back. So. 30.

What Coleael Hawkins Ha to Say A beat tbe Trouble. Sheriff Hawklna la the busiest man in the county at present. He shoulder th tremendous responsibility which is imposed upon him with all the grace possible, aud ta doing all be ean to perform hia onerous duties. While the Chief of the Police and the officers of tha First Regiment have been In Jail wlt'j bim most of tbe time during the last two days, they look to him for orders, and have not relieved him of much responsibility. A reporter made strenuous attempt to In tervlew him yesterday, but it was almost im possible to do CO.

Every minute of his time was given to the work of defense, and preparation for whatever might soma during the night. To the reporter he did not appear the worse for wear and tear, although he had not slept a wink since Thursday night. To tbe reporters' question as to the state of affairs, he answered: "Every thing is quiet now, and we are hoping for the best. Yet we deem It necessary to use every precaution, and to make every preparation to withstand the attack which might be made. For this reason more militia have been summoned, and tonight we will be able to withstand any onslaught.

"What about to-night?" "I itit. seriously hope that we Will hot have a recurrence of the awful scenes of last night.x But the people must remember that I waa put here to maintain law and order, and I intend to do my duty however unpleasant it may be to me. It must be remembered, too, that the responsibility rests with of protecting the large number of people in this Institution who are as Innooent as you and I until condemned In tbe regular and lawful way. A furious and excited crowd such, as assailed the JafT last night' could not be expected to exercise judgment, and it would not be Just or fair or humane to expose these poor uncondemned wretches to their discrimination. "What abont the order to fire last night?" "Well, we were compelled to fire.

I tried in every way to avoid it. 1 pleaded and pleaded and pleaded with the men to stop and think what they endeavored to do. Again and again I restrained the poliee trom using their clubs or revolvers. I beeged the crowd to desist, but they paid no attention. Finally, when.

I saw that the men who so bravely stood by me were being made targets of by a. furious and unreasonable people, and that some of the militia had gone down under tbelr fire, I knew that it was time or ns to protect ourselves, and I then gave the order to fire. It was all tbat we could do. and it was done more with the Intention of frightening our aKsailahts than injuring them." "How did the men stand under fire, Colonel?" "I have only words Of commendation for all those who were with me during those trying hours. They did nobly, and obeyed orders to the letter.

I observed no flinching in any quarter, and I assure you that it was a time that would test the quality of any man. The police, the militia, my deputlea and a num ber of volunteers all deserve undivided credit for their efforts to maintain law and order." COLOKIL HCWT IXTKRVIFWfcn. Colonel C. B. Hnot feels hurt over the manner In which a morning paper reflected on the militia, charging the soldiery With firing without waiting for orders.

The erowd fired first, and even then tbe soldiers did not reply until orders came from tbe Sheriff: It had then become a necessity. THK riRK DKPARTaOUTT Chief Banker' Men Worked Valiantly Under Disadvantage. The Fire Department on Friday night were called to tbe Jail by several alarms turned In on account of the burning of the out-bulld-Ings to the Jail and Court-bouse. Tbey were greatly opposed by the crowd, who were eager to see the buildings go. The fire-engines In several Instances were stopped, and the men were prevented from laying the hose.

Chief Bunker waa found at tbe George-street stable last evening. In response to questions aa to wbat he thought of tbe trouble, he gave hia version of the affair aa follows "I waa sitting here at ten o'clock last night when a telephone call from the Jail requested me to turn In the riot alarm f-2-1, which I immediately did. I then Jumped Into my buggy and hastened to the JaiL The crowd did not oppose me, but received me with Jeers and good-natured badinage, telling me tbat I had no business there and had better get out, all of which I paid no attention to. The Fours were tbeHrst company on the ground when the fire alarm sounded. They commenced to lay their hose on North Conrt Street, but the crowd Interfered.

Several of the men were struck with bowlders, bnt none of them were seriously hurt. Three sections of their hose were cut, and this, which, amounts to about IU0, waa tbe only loss that the department The Gifts, when they arrived on the ground, were unable to lay their lines, but at tbe time there was no urgent need for them, and they made uo strenuous efforts. Tbe Babeock chemical waa also turned baek, bat it returned later, after "tho erowd had been dispersed, and extinguished the fire, which at that time had abont consumed all tho frame buildings. We are now holding ourselves tn readiness for any eatla that may come? dont think the people have any de-fir to retard and prevent tha work of the fire department. tHX SOLDIER BOTaV -What Tbey Say of Friday Night's Affray Saeetiag Coaaarad.

Soma of tbe alUUamsa who were on duty Friday night are telling interesting stories of their experience on the inside of tho JaiL None of the men bad ever been called out on a similar oooastoa before, aad bnt very few had before seen any aatual military aerrlos except tbe work performed by them during tha floods of th Is an last year. Said a member of Company who was on duty at the Jail nlgbt before last: "It was a night of terror to me, not so much from fear for my own safety as far tho safety of people outside, who were attacking ns. 1 dldat want sjay blood oa my hands aor did THE JEaTQUIREK. CINCINNATI, MARCH 30, 1884-rSlXTEEK PAGES. want to be shot myself, but for some time It seemed to me that a hand-to-hand conflict Waa Inevitable.

If such a Iblng would bare started the result would have been terrible, but all ohe-siJed, as we were" armed and the persons composing the mob, as a rule. Were not. 1 fired Once, but doh't know Whether any one was struck or not. I hope not. After that I confess 1 hadn't tbe nerve to-fire la that Crowd.

If it is found necessary to-night as it waa last nlgbt I will shoot to kill, arufno Will the other boys, beoauso uss who. goes with a mob ito-nlgh will run a greater risk" than ever, and. If killed, no one cad be blamed bdt himself." Another member of tho same company, a middle-aged fellow, who spent the memorable night Inside the Jail, said: "Well, sir, you sjhoald have seen some of those "kid who were trying to break in from the sides and the rear of the Jail. was actually amusing to notice their bravery. Guns and bayonets had not tbe least effect on them, and-when a gun was placed under one's very nose ho cared no more for It than though tt were a stick.

That mob was without doubt the most stubborn one 1 have ever seen, and I've seen several In my time. It meant business from the word go, and the funny part of tt was, the gang was composed prici pally of hide. This militiaman probably did not observe the elder men who stood hook encouraging tbe "kids" and urging tnem on. "The worst part of the night," eald a third, "was when tbe smoke entered the JaiL It was almost suffocating, and for awhile we thought the mob would sneered In smoking every body out. Ton should have seen ns lying flat on tbe floor In the smokey Was 1 scared? Well, not exactly; I didn't feel safe, for the bowlders were pelting through the windows like hailstones." Now, weren't yon fellows pretty tdly scared?" was asked of a youthful-looking "soldier" in full uniform.

Well, to tell the truth, the boys were ail rattled, and not one of them kept his head," "Did you "Yes, hut In the air. Don't know bow many times I Bred, bnt you'd better believe I didn't like the business much. Had It been any thlhgbhtarrieboT.clUaent trylbg to enforce tbe law in tbelr own way It wouldn't have beenao bad, but the sympathies of a good many of the boys were with the erowd, and It wa a hard matter to shoot any body. It will be different to-night, though, and every shot will be meant for some one." Many Qltlsens strongly denounce the militia for reckless and unnecessary shooting. About two o'clock in the morning of Friday after the mob had retreated to Main street, the writer saw two men who said they had been standing in front of the saloon on the corner of Main and Court streets when shot stagger into the saloon.

Near three o'clock tbe mob had substantially dispersed. None of them Were In tbe Immediate vicinity of the Jail, or nearer tbanCoUrtand Main. A comparatively small crowd of men was standing there, not making any demonstration' whatever, bdt rather aa spectators, distant, as they supposed, from the points of danger. Tbe militia without any provocation or necessity or excuse suddenly emerged from the corner of tbe Jail on Sycamore street, and fired a volley up North Court street. Tbe writer saw four men near him drop from the effects of this volley.

Those shot were quickly -borne by theif comrades to the patrol-wagons in front of the armory on Court street, near Walnut. A dozen or fifteen men remained on the sidewalk in front of the armory talking about tbe terrible slaughter b'y tbe militia, but not making any demonstrations, when tbe stentorian voice of John Desmond, In charge of the armory, was heard, "I command you a) to disperse at once nndcr peril of yonr lives," and at the same time the soldiers In the armory aeemed to be anxious to carry tbe threat Into execution. There was no delay in dispersing. One man on the run crlsd back: "I suppose It affords you a great deal of amusement to shoot down decent citixens like dogs." in fact so far as tbe writer observed the militia seemed to have lost all appreciation of the value of human lives, and shot men down en sight as If they were so many rabbits. The writer was in the office of the Jail when tbe Inner iron door was broken, and waa In the Jail-yard while the crowd waa bombarding and firing the Jail from tbe rear, and during the night aaw ten men fall from shots, yet did not see a single man of the mob use or even display a firearm, thougn he supposes, of course, some were drawn.

rOKAOBIO TO FIND ARMS. The Establishment of B. Klttredg at Recently Visited. The' firm of B. Klttredge A dealers In guns and sporting goods, will probably sustain the greatest loss of any individuals through tbe occurrences of Friday nigbk As was announced In the ExtjuiREB of yesterday, their establishment was visited by a detachment of tbe excited crowd and rifled'of a large quantity of Its valuable contents.

The heavy plate glass windows and several of the show-eases were smashed In, entailing a of more than toOO. A reporter eailed at tbe bouse yesterday, and found Mr. A. A. Bennett, the "Co." of tbe firm, busily engaged in taking an inventory of tbe losses, which he vaguely estimated at 2,600.

Including the oost of the broken windows. Said Mr, Bennett: "The first I heard of the disturbance was a message received at four o'clock this morning calling me to the store at once. Aa fast as I could I hastened down town. Upon entering the store I found it in much the same condition as you see it now. Wa had been overhauling the goods the day before, and they were consequently in much disorder.

None of tbe orowd were in tbe store when I reached here. I at once began to look around, but It la bard to determine Just what Is gone. I tU you It was a discriminating crowd, and one which knew Just what waa wanted. Tbey Invariably took the beat atock In tbe house, and left the inferior good entirely alone. For Instance, they took the best three guns In tbe house, and about 11.600 worth of our finest revolvers and pistols.

It ta wonderful how much discrimination tbey did show. They did not seem to waut any thing but firearm, for other valuable goods were laying about which they never touched. In addition to the guns and pistols they took very little." "Did they not take ammunition?" "That 1 what surprises mo. I can not understand wbat they wanted with empty goods unless tbey were only bent on stealing. Our powder was not touched at alt.

About eight o'clock last evening a crowd of sixty or seventy-five half-grown boys appeared at the Cincinnati end of the Suspension Bridge, and by a sudden rush suoceeded In paaatng the gate without paying the fare. Tbey proceeded to eroaa the bridge, and when half way across they were met by the private policeman, who had been eailed from the Kentucky aide by telephone. They were sallowed to cross, however without molest.

Borne were of the oplnloa that tho Covington jail would he mobbed, but all fears of trouble on that side Were' put to rest when ft waa learned that the erowd had only gone over to mutter up a delegation of CovingloaUnT Tor use In Cincinnati during the flight. They re mained but a short time, not being sueeessf ul In adding to their numbers, and upon return ing they were met at the Covington end by three policemen, who In the mean time had been eailed. The boys were compelled "pbt up" to get hack to this city.

While mi proceeding a number had gone to Newport, and. were more successful in gathering crowd. About one hundred Newport cltif ens assembled on Front street Id that city and rotted oa tbe ferry. They proceeded to the Court-house and Joined the throngs there, The affair at Covington was regarded there as a raree-kod laughed tt by the citixens. At Newport hot very few were aware of thd da part re of the crowd of citixens for Cincinnati, and there waa pa exoiteinent Jb consequence.

ajptek ptjs vinar sattlk. TOO aTortrOas aa stara by the Nest Day's Sbb. The Jail was surrounded all day by curious crowd, but. any who wen there expecting to aee wreck were disappointed. The jail is Impregnable to any any assault by fire or with small arms, except through tbe office, the south corridor or tbe tunnel, and attacking party could make its way tn by these methods if the garrison was fighting for life.

There was a good deal to be seen, however. Making bis Way through the guards at the area gates, If the spoe tator was fortunate enough to have a -pass or be 1 known, -the first thing he would notice would be the stain and smell of coal oil In the area, where the- barrel, was emttied by the crowd. Oh Of then alvf 'Of the detfble front door was open. Passing through that the visitor would find himself In a narrow lane made by two long and heavy timbers. One was propped against tbe closed door, the other against the wall close to tbe open door, ready to fasten that like it neighbor, In case of an attack.

Both timber's rested oa other heavy timber lying her! son-tally, and all were securely braced so tbey most break before the doors gave way. Within' tha. well or basement of the jail proper1 it was very dark. Going in the visitor would find a portion of the door lying: on tbe floor, twisted aad boot. The other part still hung loosely by the frame, which was Itself partly torn from the wall.

Picking his way over the debris of all descrip tions and becoming accustomed to the darkness he would perceive tbe cots spread on the floor on-which some of the militia were sleeping, and arms stacked ready for use if they were needed, it was an improvised barracks in narrow quarters. Within the. kitchen, which waa the center of attack at one time the night before, the cook, Billy Cnapelie, was busy cooking rations for tht citizen soldiery. The glass and 'sometimes portions Of the sash were broken away, and tbe cool air poured in. Looking through these windows half-burned planks and ods and ends of blackened objects could be seen scattered around.

In the rooms on the other side the citizen-soldiers were lounging. Passing through the tunnel and looking through tbe doorways on either side a great pile of blackened timbers could be seen In the boiler and coat-rooms, and the latter had several inches of water in it. On the Wall of the tunnel was a long stain of blood where Kates fell mortally wounded. In the Jail yard two OffiQes attached to the Jail were found stripped of their outer roofs, whleh had been used to feed tbe flame. Tbe cellar wlndowa leading to the boiler room and coal room were blackened with smoke.

Ail the windowa on the north and south sides were riddled. Tbe bars bad caught some of the missies like a net, and piled up between them and the lower part of the wlndowa were brickbats aud bowlders. Kvery thing was wrecked in the Jail yard. Tbe windows on the Sycamore street side were forced out and broken, but there was little wreak age in the parts inhabited by the Jail officers. On tbs buildings on North and South Court street scars aa large as a man's hand showed where the bulles of the rifles fired from the upper part of the Jail had struck, and It was apparent that anyone who stood On those pavement the night before was In danger of losing his lite.

The Court-house, except for one or two holes In the Windows, Was uninsured. A MILITARY CONFKKEXCB, At Which It Waa Decided That More Troops Were Necessary. afternoon, in one of the anterooms of the JaiL a military conference was held. The question under discussion was that of the necessity of more troops. There were present: General Michael Ryan, of tbe Governor's staff; M.

L. Biawklns, Colonel of the Veteran Regiment and Sheriff of Hamilton County; Colonel C. B. Hunt and Major Morgan, of the First Regiment; Colonel Rcllly, Chief of Police; Captain Joyce, of the Second Battery; H. C.

Urner and others. The conference was called to determine upon the answer to the following telegram, whleh came from the Governor to General Ryan Columbus, Ohio, March id, 18S4. General Michael ait: Every thing is In readiness to put l.OCO Infantry, one Catling gun and two batteries of six gun's into Cincinnati to-night. John E. Bell, H.

C. Urner and L. R. Harrison think It as unnecessary, as does the Quartermaster-General. Please consult Sheriff Hawkins and get his call withdrawn if danger haa passed.

Harper telegraphs that the troops had better be sent. You are ranking staff officer, and I rely on you for advice and service. I shall keep the men under arms until danger is past, but am very anxious to avoid unnecessary expense to State and unnecessary excitement. I do not wish to stampede the State for nothing nor to fall to bave the men on hand if necessary. Gtoaftn ItoADLT.

After a discussion of tbe subject from every aspect all, with the exception of General Ryau, favored tbe ordering of more troops, and a telegram to that effect was accordingly sent to Governor Hoadiy. It Is found In another column. A Groundless Rtaish About five o'clock yesterday afternoon tt cgine to the ears of Sheriff Hawkins tbat some ofthe leading spirits of the crowd who had a predisposition toward dynamite bad secreted forty kegs of powder In Wllsona stable, which faces on South Court atreet, next to the Jail-yard. Rumor had tt tbat it was expected to blow up tne Jail with tbe explosive. Not crediting the report, hut wishing to satisfy himself of its untruthfulness, the Hberlfr detailed Police Lieutenant Welsh to make an Investigation.

Tbe Lieutenant, with twenty picked men, made a thorough examination of the prexaieee, but failed to discover any powder. Damages to the Jail. Colonel Wm. II. Hill, President of the Board of Coo nty Commissioners, was yesterday an Interested viewer of the scenes of destruction within and without tbe County Jail, fie was looking over the ground with an Idea to cal culating the probable cost to the tax-payers of Hamilton County brought about by tbe workings of the excited crowd on Friday nlsrnt.

After having gone entirety over the ground be was met by an Ehqtibeb reporter, to whom be aaid tbat the lose would and might reach "Is that not a high estimate, Colonel?" "I think not when you consider the expensive Iron, work tbat It ruined, the buildings tbst are burned, the damage to the ground, and may other little things that will have to be counted." Protecting the Record. At the meeting of the County Commissioners yesterday both tbe day and night watch were ordered on duty ta the Court house until relieved by the board. These pre cautions are taken to prevent a destruction of tho County record should vlelenoe be re newed.

'-I- A BACKWARD GLANCB At Former Troubles of at Si -hilar Character la Cincinnati. This is hot the first Instance In whleb Cin cinnati haa witnessed an uprising of the peo ple, although the causes in neither of the former eases were for a like cause.

The first wss due to political causes and the other was tbe railroad riots of 177. In the former ease tbe contest was essentially eon Abed to 'the American party a ltd the Germans. Tbe spring election of 185S was held on the 2d of April, and the KnoW-Nothlngsmet with an overwhelm Ing defeat. As nearly aa can now be ascertained a German artillery eompany to cele brate tbe victory Bnllmbered on Jackson's Hill, Where the Lookout House now stands. andflred minnte runs in celebration of the victory and la honor of Jefferson.

A a excited Crowd of men filled the street. and finally they formed, and, moving north, crossed the canal Into the Over-the-Rhlne quarter, and, marching ttp the hill, surprised the artillerymen and took the guns. Ith these they retarfted, and, tiaeing destroyed the ballot-boxes of tbe then Eleventh Ward pells. Invaded the eld Thirteenth, then mainly pom posed Of Irishmen. These latter were not surprised, but met tbe Invaders more than half-way, and.

arter a hotly-contested fight, took tbe cannon and returned them 'to theif Original owners. Many men stood picket duty that night, anticipating trouble, Tbe morning of the 8d the German's for tified Turner Hall and the old Mwnnerebor Hall, on Vine and Mercer streets, and barri caded both Vine and Walnut streets near the cdnaL In the nlean time efforts were, made to effect a Mm promise, and the northern resi dent surrendered their Cannon, td Colonel Moore, who died a short time age. Tbie, It appears, caused a fresh uprising, and about ten o'clock at flight a large crowd crossed the canal and approached the barricades, only to met With 4 well-directed fire that killed the leader and wounded a number of others. That ended the difficulty for that time. In 186o on Pentecost Monday the Tamers held a picnic In Covington and were attacked bya erowd who were said to be members of the American party.

City Marshal Clint Butts in that melee received the shattered arm that maimed him for life. All was pence ahd harmony until July of 177, wii the whole country waa aroused try the herrora attendant upon tbe railroad striKe. Ststern eltles, especially PitUbnrg, anWered grievously. Hundreds of thousands of de'lars worth of valuable property went up In flan.e, end lbs streets of many cities ran with blood, The first premonition of trouble here was oft Tuesday, the Mth of July, wbea a gang of roughs, not railroad men, set fire to tbe Ohio and Mississippi Railroad bridge over Mill-creek and then eut the hose for the firemen while the latter Were engaged In extinguishing lb fl The following day an attack was made epos tbe Central Station for the purpose of rescuing "Buck" Mullaney, who wss there under arrest for rioting. The prompt action of tbe oflleers prevented trouble.

Tbe arms and ammunition to the. various gun stores were at this time plaeed at the disposal of the Police Commissioners thus preventing their coming Into pocsjeeaion of the rioters, and at the end of the second week the difficulty was Virtually ended. CALIFORNIA RIOTS. TlglTmiee Committees, Acted i Reminiscences Historical Riots. and How Tbey of IS40 Other Seldom has It been In the history of any city of community that a riot has occurred from the lax administration of Justlee.

Riots there have been from time Immemorial from other causes, on account of oppression by a Government, from religious persecution, but parallel eases of mobs taking tbe law In their oWn hands, sustained by the sentiment and sense of tbe community, at Justice outraged and law defied, bave' fortunately been of un- frequent occurrence. Perhaps the state of affairs tbat prevailed in California In the year 110, when a baud of desperadoes called "The Hdufids" openly robbed people the streets, tore down the tents and shanties of unoffending miners, and did not hesitate to shoot all who opposed them, somewhat corresponds to the action of tbe Cincinnati mob. These outrages bad become so common that no man's life est property was safe, and at last the cltl-seng became thoroughly aroused to their sens of danger. Then they went delib erately to work, and, satisfied that there was only onv course to take, a call was Issued for a publlo meeting en the plaza, Monday. July 16, 1849.

The meeting took place, and an armed body was formed, who proceeded to arrest criminals. Accused people were tried and various sentences passed, but In no case waa life taken, although it was evident that many of the criminals were deserving of the halter. For a short time these measures had a salutary effect, but aa time wore on the criminals grew bolder, and It was not until one hundred mwrdere had been committed In tbe space of two years, and not a single murderer bad been hung, tbat the people became thoroughly aroused. There were innumerable cases of arson, robbery and burglary that were unpunished, and in June, 1M1, matters came to such a pass that a vigilance committee, with written articles of Incorporation, was organised. Many of the most respectable citizens of the community were enrolled as members.

They arrested, tried and executed several notorious desperadoes. Among one of the earliest sawes was the execution of JXKKIKS, A BtTROt-AR. In June, a burglar was detected In carrying off a portable safe which he had stolen from a store on Long. Wharr. It waa tbe property of George W.

Virgin, who had a shipping office, through the floor of which the burglar Cut an entrance, took the safe Into a boat beneath, and pulled out into tbe bay. He was followed by several boats, contain! ng men who bad overheard bim at hia work, and when they had nearly overhauled him be threw his booty overboard. Some of his pursuers hove to, and grappling the sunken safely landed when It waa Identified. Tbe other boa La followed and arrested the. burglar after a dca- perate resistance.

He was carried to the room Of the Vigilance Committee and proved to be a low Sidney thief, Jenkins by name, of herculean frame with thick coarse red hair and beard. Be Waa at once tried and con victed on Indisputable testimony. He had been beard at his work standing in hia boat euttlng throng the floor Into the building; Seen, putting the safe into the boat, and observed to throw tbe property overboard. This affair occurred early in the evening aad by the time the sentence was passed it wss midnight. Tbe bell upon the engine-house tolled upon tbe quiet night tbe prearranged' signal- Soon a thousand men armed and active assembled.

Tbe prisoner waa pinioned and marched -out along Lawrence, California, Montgomery and Clay atreet to the Plaxsa. Some thoughtless fellow him to the flag-staff," but this was deemed a sacrilege and the erowd moved to the old adobe oa the north-west corner of tbe Plaxxa. On the way to tbe gallowa he never spoke a word. Arrived at the spot with oaths and obscenity he refused all religious consolation, preferred a cigar to a priest, and, calling for a glass of brandy, was swung off. In these early days there were many who made politics profitable by packing primaries aad conventions, securing tbe nomination of tbe candidate who would pay the most money.

About this time James King waa thrown out of business by trusting too la reel to an irresponsible agent, and In 185a, October 8th, he aaeoeiated with aome frienda and started a fearless paper called The Evening Bulletin. It soon, from Its straightforward, non-partisan course, became a favorite, and King one of the most Influential men In. the city. At this JAMES P. CASST, A New York shoulder-hitter and desperado, waa one of the meet notorious ebaraeter in the etty.

Associated with others equally un principled he wielded an influence that was flangefout to morality and good government. In tbe city election he bad been prominent In ballot-box stuffing, and, aided by the notori ous Yankee Sullivan, he got 'himself elected as a Supervisor, casey was publishing a weekly paper called the Sunday Times, and Mr. King published a record of Casey's sea tenee to the State Prison In New York, aa going to show that he waa not a suitable person to be elected aa as official. Sooa after the oa per was Issued May 14, Casey on tered King's editorial rooms. andjiemanded what he meant by.

puWi-umg the record ef his conviction. King replied- by aakiitg If. was not Case answered" that 'that Was not tbe question tbat he did. nut eiwrw hi antecedents Previous to his coming to California to be discussed." When be ceased King pointed to the door and said: "You need not come again." Soon after King started to go to his noma OS.

As soon as the new of tha shooting was noised dbdut tbe entire population Wat aroused, dad the people resolved that hOteght chicanery should cheat the gallows. A meet ing of influential elilsens was held In the evenir-g of the day. on which the shooting oc curred and the -work of organising a igi-lance Committee commenced then aud there. By the end of tho week thousand re were enrolled.

They were organized into companies of en hundred fnen etch; and each company elected an Executive Com mittee to represent thWn lh executive council.

Thd Sheriff and Jailer gave them up, for there waa no other alternative.

Mobs, such aa prevailed In Cincinnati, are by no meant cdmmdfi Ik the nineteenth century. But if one gees haesj tad reads history it will be fonad tbat CBObe aadriote were powerful factors, and exercised an influence upon their ace whleh our own would not tolerate.

Tht earliest mob of eighteenth entury occurred Id Qdeett Anne's day' in 1709. In these tinsea, the CHBrcH Of England was popular with tha English In November of this rear Dr. Saeheverel. a Tory and divine-right man, preached a sermon In which he indulged In the favorite Tory doctrines of passive obedience and divine right. The Lord Mayor wanted tbe sermon- printed, The Government ordered It burned.

Sacbe- verel became a popular idol. They even went to far as to ItonlM bint by parliamentary impeachment. He waa at that time living is tbe Temple, and as be went to the trial, which lasted tbr Weeks, the people along the route assembled to kiss hia hands aa be passed. Oact a while the mob turned aside to strike a Whig or bora a Conventicle, and these out rages were encouraged by men Of rank, Who threw money to tht rioters. The watchword was "Church and SaehevereL" and every one who refused to shout Was greeted With blows.

Bishop Burnett saw a'maA'S skull cleft In twain because he refused this pious test. They were about to burn the Bishop and house when tbe guards approaching they fled There waa no systematic effort, however, of putting the mob down. In Loncoln Inn's Fields they made a large won fire of the fenced and Wood-work of a dissenting" cfltpel. Tbe matter was discussed In Parliament, and the Queea waa Implored to put down the rlete. the mob or 1733, Against the Excise bill of Sir Robert Wal-pole, was the neil famous one.

It furnishes an Instance of the submission of the House of Commons to a demonstration of physical force openly abetted by the minority. The bill was supported by a substantial majority, and would have become a law but tor the. audacious conduct of the London populace. who assembled In vast numbers iu tne palace yard, and eyen entered the lobbiea of the House. Walpole called them "Sturdy beggara." Barnard, a Tory member from London, thought it hard that mercbanta of figure and character might not come down to the lobblee to consult with thetr friends on the questions that concerned their Own interests.

On the bight of March 11th, after he had carried his resolution by a majority of sixty-one, the Minister was obliged to make bis exit by the back way. The soldiers believed the bill would raise the price of their tobacco. so tbat they could aot be relied span, end were ripe for rebellion. Finally the bill waa withdrawn for two months, and on this night a larger mob than usual had aeeembled. When the House was rising some of Walpole' friends who bad been outside eame back and told him what he had to expect.

Sir Robert resolved to faee tbe worst, and boldly marched out upon the Fifty constables bad been stationed outside the house to secure free passage for the members, and they tried to make a lane for Sir. Robert. A melee ehsued, in whieh the constables stoned and cudgeled friends as well aa foes. Sir Robert narrowly escaped strangulation. Swords were drawn thd many Wounded.

Tbe withdrawal of the bill Was regarded ae a popular triumph. Sir Robert and a tat Woman, intended to represent tht Qdeen, were burned In THS WILKES EIOTS. It waa aome time before England bad any more riots. When Wilkes, who had been out lawed in 1763, returned to England in 1768 and was elected to Parliament from Middlesex, he was not only declared Incapable of Sitting, but was arrested. The London mob rose to protect their favorite.

They rescued him once from the officers, but Wllketf surrendered himself and remained In prison two' years. The day of his incarceration Was the 29th of April, and from that day to the lfith o't May, the day Parliament opened, the vicinity of the prison was occupied by a mob. On the morning of tbe 101b tbe magistrates appeared with a regiment of Military and the Riot Act was read. Stones and brick bats Were the response. Tbe troops fired, and six were killed and fifteen of tbe rioters wounded.

One man was ahot bya soldier before tbe order to Art bad been given. He waa found guilty of murder by a Coroner's Inquest, bet acquitted When brought to trial, and probably presented with a purse by his Colonel. The mob In this ease was completely beaten, fdr Wilkes remained In prison until 177ft, and When he Became Lord Mayor betook hia seat add scorned demagogy. lOEOnoa OOtDON BI0T9.

He presented a petition January 4, UfTt, praying for the repeal of an act passed In 177 la favor1 of Roman Catholics. He called a meeting of Covenanters May 29th, at which It was resolved that the whole association should iasemble In St. George's leias on tne xoiiowing Friday, June 2d. aad accompany htm With his petition to the Honse of Commons.

A crowd of from fifty to one hundred thou sand men assembled and mobbed the members of Parliament aa they arrived In their coaches, 130,000 names were signed to the petition. Lord George presented his petition. and only six votes appeared for It and 193 against It. The mob retired from both Houses, and, burning sOmeRoman Catholic chapels, dispersed, for the night. On Sunday they assembled In large numbers and more chapels were burned.

On Monday and for several days following they' robbed and burned Catholic chapela and churches, the houses of Lord Mansfield, Tartloe Hyde and Cad Cox, and oa Wednesday they destroyed the Bench and the Prisons, and at one time thirty-six conflagrations were visible from one spot and on Friday Lord George waa arrested. During tbe riot 210 were killed and 348 wounded.
