Cincinnati, If Arch 20.???Tho riot which broke out upon thla city last night wti the cnlmlnstlon of one of tho greatest sensations with which the com. munlty has been convulsed. On the 27th ol De cember last the body of a well kdown livery stable keeper, Ur. William HKirk, was found In a mill- stream. At lint U was supposed that tho unfortu nate man had committed sutolde but an examina tion brought to light a murderoue hole In the back . oi hla head which had evidently been made by the indentation ol a k tmmor. Tho wildcat excitement followed the dlscove.y. Gueptcion rested upon a colored hostler named Joceph Palmer, and he waa arrested. In Jail Palmer oonleased that ho was tho murderer: that the p,ot for the murder had been matnted by William Berner, a white for tho purpose ol robbery, and that Palmer waa assigned the leak ol killing Kirk, while , Berner should watch out as a guard. On the mom. lug of December 24, Mr. Uric went Into bis stable to look alter sc in. atoek. While napping aside luto one ol the stalls. Palmer Healthily crept up behind ..blot withe clawhammer, and burying It to the , centre in Kirk's skull the victim rank lo the floor dead. The two men hastily searched the dead man's pocket., and then threw the body Into a ???wagon and Palmer drove It el? and dumped It Into a mill stream, where It was found. Palmer waa ???convicted of murder, THX ACCY'.CUKE. When tho trial of Berner begin certain disreput able elemenia In tented themselves In hla behalf; a,packed and perjured jury wae Impaneled and the trial proceeded. On last Monday the jury brought in a verdict of simple .manslaughter, at though the evidence sworn to sad the confession of tho prisoner indicated a most brutal murder. The-verdict wu received with biases and every demonstration ol Indignation. ThaJudge declared from the bench that the Hading wae an outrage oojnal'ce. It wae only by the officers bunting Berner out through a aide entrance that he wae gaved Irom violence, Yeeterday afternoon the prisoner was brought before court, ant senteoccd to twenty yean lu the penitentiary, the limited the law. Till POPDLAK IS,DIC NATION. Meantime the Indignation ol the people knew nt bounds. Tha verdict wae the topic of discussion on ibostnel.fntbeabopa and In Ike newepapen. A petition waadrcuUted calling (era meeting of protest at Music hall last night, to which waa ??t ached tha names ol tho beat men of thecliy. The members of the Jury were ataltrealed wherever found, and all were notified to leave the county. Last night found Music hall pecked from pit to dome. Folly ten thpnaand determined men were out Strong speeches were made. When the meeting was abot t to adjourn, a young man In the audlenoe arose, and ???hooted: "TO THE JAtLl ,'OIXOW Ml" The cast crowd moved directly toward the Jail, where they began an attack on the front door. At 4:40 tha riot elatm was sounded, sum moning the entire polios force to the Jail. Vast crowds at people gathered In that vi cinity. The police, upon arrlvlug In the vicinity, commanded tire crowd to move, and, not being obeyed, they fired, bates no one wae hurt, Itie presumed thu the police (red lotto air. Itjla ???aid that It waa the Intention oi the police not to Inter!.!*, they being deeply In aympitby with tho movement to condemn the ootaposi Berner verdict. A shot or two waa fired from the Jail, but the crowd refused to movo. Tho leader stood firm, At 11 p. m the report from the jail waa that the orawd bad gat lutlde. They had previoady broken Into a blacksmith shop and had taken alt the me la they eonld find. There wae dtllleaUy in getting information about thu movements, became the streets all around tha courthouse and Jail wore Jammed. A reporter says that at 11 train lhaatone wall of the Jatlyard he saw a gteat crowd ol men Inside the Jail, but they had not yet reached the cell room, They went well eappUsJ with toolsand were at work at thu doer*. T'lB VtUTABY OUt. The mtlllla wakwrdered ont, but lerge numbers tailed to appear,md there isagenerel disposition so far as can be, keen.-wot to lutetfeae with the mob. Nothing et th at hoer had been heard from Sheriff Hawkins, w'ao was inside the courthouse, and could not be reached. Mayor Stephens waa oon fined to hla house by sickness, leaving the sheriff wholly responsible for preservation of order, except for asslitanco ol the chief of police. nai.N.i okths nob. At midnight thirty ahole with muskets were fired by tho militia for Iho rorpoao of tearing the mob. The result waa that glassing balls struck at lent four persona, Inflicting Injuries which may be fatal In thecaso oi one or two. PoliccmauNunn and Private Coek were the worstburl, the latter shot In the breath The volley teemed to check the move ment of the mob, though the crowd did notfilipene from about thejatl. There does not teem to bo any doubt but that these bounds were Inflicted by the guns of the soldiers. The mob made no effort to ???boot. At 12:49*1. x. the jail waa tired by the mob, anddaecrowdca the streets threatened to cut tho hoao to prevent tho Are department f romextlngjiiabi tug it. The fire company responded to tha alarm, bwt alter much difficulty getting there found tho alarm false, Newton Coob, ol Manchester, Ohio, was shot In Iho shoulder by a soldier through the j ill window Cobb waa a bystander on the sidewalk. The crowd claim that the soldiers are firing un necessarily upon the outriders, merely lookers on. On Iho othor hand the soldlem dread an effort to burn tho place or blow It up fey rolling oil barrels luto the basement, and Justify themselves in clear, log tho sidewalks ou that account. Ills said that a number ot women, spectators, have been hurt with random ehota. The firing of gone la ttlU beard at Intervals. The firing by the aoldlera from the wiudewa was terribly deetractlvo, and a largo number of wounded have bean gathered Into the drugstore on Court and Walnut and at the hotel near. Several are dyiug and many mortally -wounded, HOW niXU*IUV2*CAPF.D, It now appears that Barner, alter his sentence, waa disguised and placed In a buggy wl h Deputy Sheriff Dominick Devotee, and driven to I-luwood where they got aboard the Morrow accomatoda- lion and went to Loreland, to await the arrival ol Criminal Deputy Jo Moses with tbenecotrary papers (or committal to tho penitentiary, ft fee came known that Berner was at Loveland and a crowd gathered.

It waa reported on the strteia this morning that Berner had bean recaptured and hanged at Loves land. The rumor however proved a grouadle-a' one. The story la that-Darner,In tunnlug from tho crowd at Loveland, ran into tho Miami river, and wae drowned.

A later dispatch states that Berner was caught at Foster's crossing, atabont 2:80 thla afternoon, and la In charge ol oICcera. He will be takeu the penitentiary at Coktmbua. Sheriff Uawklnskoa acted all day as though he expected a renewal ol the attach to-night, with Increased violence, lie has called for troops,, nd has called ont hla own command, the veteran teglrooni, composed of aoldlera of tho late war.

Late tbla evening the police and ???oldlora were buay, under Sheriff Ilewkina'sldlreo- tlona, barricading the streets In every direction.
