SIABLY ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST A l'ridey 's Columbus deepen-h ssys : When the train which was to bring Berner to Columbus passed Morrow a mob of 200 men leerebed it. Their intention was to hang Berner from the bridge. The passengers end treicmeu give thrilling accounts oi their experiences. Colonel Hunt hes tele- gredphed the Governor to be in readiness, .- will remsiu here over Sunday, so as teeell more trOOps if necessary. Hunt nude rcquisitiun lcr 5.000 rounds of ball cartridges. which have been sent to Cin- einneti. Passengers from Cincinnati this morning say there is intense excitement all Along the way. There are large crowds at the stations. and thrests are made against the deputy sheriffs thst they WI“ snfler it they do not produce Burner or show he has been put ou_t_ot the way. A Cincinnati despatch says such a nigh? of blood as this has not before darkenec the history of Cincinnati. It is impor- able to ascertain the true situation. Men have been killed on several squares from the scene of the riot. The tire wasstarted by rolling in barrels of coal oil. setting it on fire and keeping everybody out. Captain Desmond entered to subdue the flames. but was instantly killed. The flames want their own way. The mob would not let the firemen use the engines. The struco tare, which cost a quarter of a million. elowly‘burned. The loss is irreparable in valuable records. When the mob had rob. bed Powell's gun store it was fired. The patrol waggon responded to the alarm, and the mob fired. killing one man and wound- ing others. The mob has lost all control, and seems bound on destruction for destruo- tie-’s sake. The firing upon the mob has been merciless, whether by the Gatling gun â€"-vâ€" 5'“ 7â€", Luneâ€"The riot alarm has been calling the military together for half an hour. The Fourteenth Regiment are resting on their tune waiting for a special train to Cin- einnnti. The Fourth Regiment at Dayton he. oleo been ordered by the Governor to tell in for orders.

The 4th Regiment received orders from the Governor to join the other toroee At undertaker Hebig'e {our dead men unknown are lying. At the Cincinnati Hospital there are as many more, while twenty or mega wonndegi‘ere there. and in the jail-yard by a direct or indirect route. but being informed the mob were still in force and blocking the streets in the vicinity, he modified the order with the View of averting bloodshed. CINCINNATI, March 30 â€"At 1 o'clock this morning the mob’ seemed to obaervers not tainted with its spirit to be of the Parisian order. Men apparently courting death stood within range of the guns. A volley was fired. wounding several and killing Frank Gallagher. When the Treasurer's omce was fired there was a hand-to-hand fight between the police and the mob. and a number of rioters were arrested and taken into jail. They refused to give their names. Many of them were well- dressed. good looking men. At the hospital are the following killed : Captain Jack Dresmond. Henry J. Peiser. both shot through the head ; John Peltoneheimer shot through the heart; A. Hopkins. 0. Bloom and J. Camper. severely wounded. Fatally wounded. Will Batze. 18 years old. boy dying ; Philip Roane, in the breast Several dead men are in the Anm'ger olfioe and three dead men at the court-house. Rumors are abundant. Among them that Col. Hunt and Lieutenant Tom 0'Meara,of the police torce. were killed in the 'ail. At 2 20 a. m. it was discmered the in had three can- non, obtained irom the Music Hall. At 3 I am. the Fourth Regiment, who had been placed in front of the Court House with unloaded guns. are keeping the crowd back. but were pelted with brickbats and ooca- eionally a pistol ball fired. The 1365 in possession of the cannon were moving up Fourth street when a squad of thirty police charged upon them. capturing the guns and dispersing the mob. When Powell's gun store was attached he defended his pro- perty and killed at least three men. some say seven. At 3 45 run. comparative quiet had been restored and the mob dispersed. The dead are still I ing in the streets in the vieinlt oi the con lot. A safe estimate of the III ed makes them 50 to 75. Only a small portion are identified or the flames preserved.“ , ,,A,,|,-,aa,,, ,,, I p.m.â€"The etreete heve been eompere- tlvely oleer of people to dey.

There is n; cranes tor the failure to protect it. Ftlt soldiers properly placed could have deten ed it. The crowd were permitted to go to the very windows and brealt them wrthout resistance. Some one suggested to cast some light on the subject. and the building was fired. Another said, “ This will be the Parts oi America. sure enough." and the mob cried. “Burn he militia out." Here occurred the melan- choly killing of Capt. John J Desmond. a promising young man. sent with asquad of soldiers. to put out the tire. The bad management of Sheriff Hawkins is severely commented on. Tue Fourteenth Regiment were expected at 9 o'clock, and did not arrive until 12. p. m.. but it cleared the streets and gave the authorities con- trol of the entire space about the Court House and jail. The Fourth Regiment was a total failure. They marched within three squares of the Court House and then % marched back to the depot. The cloud said it the troops scattered he couldn‘t get them together. There is good evrdence that two or three hundred men composed the bulk of the violent and active noters. and these not fully armed. The general opinion is that very little general: hip would have put them to flight. When the attack was made on Powell's gun store at midnight the first man entered was shot dead. the second fared the same. and the third was severely wounded. An effort was made to fire the building, but the proprietor from the upper storey wruiow fired a well-directed shot. and the crowd went away. To-day the gravity of the situation impressed every one. Everywhere solemuity prevailed. The frightful loss of life brings people ito realize the awful calamity. There was a noticeable absence of curiosity seekers at the scene of trouble to-day. The place seemed regarded with dread and aversion. There was not near as much travel on the streets in that vicinity as on ordinary Sun- days. Bome feeling against the militia was manifested during the torencon. Stones Were thrown at them when opportunity offered. This was so annoying that the police were placed next the pee le. Threats were then shouted. “ Wait til to-night." " Wait till we get good and drunk and we'll hoi at you blue-coated men from behind your barrels? were among things said. , _I__ __..

Soon after the christening the Royal Family, including the Queen and Prince Albert. were pros- trated by that popular disease of children, the measles. Strange to say, the little Prince escaped; but when 8 years of age he was attacked by the same disease in so malignant a form that he has never fully recovered from its eflects.
