from rocks upon the left. The cavalry dis
lodged them and advanced to within 100
yards of Taminieb. As soon as Graham

Conductor Garroted on His Train.
Ft. Lours, Mo., March 28. Shortly
before 12 o’clock last night as the Chicago
& Alton east-bound train from Kansas
City was approaching Gilliam, Mo., the
conductor, R. G. Dunsmore, had some un
pleasant words with a passenger named
Powell about the collection of his fare.
Powell wanted to get Off 'at Gilliam, but
the conductor told him that the train never
stopped there. After the conductor had
gone into the next car Powell overtook
Idm, garroted him from behind, and at
tempted to cut his throat with a pocket
knife. He succeeded in cutting a deep slip
in each of Dunsmore’s cheeks before the
lattercould break away. Dunsmore, who
has the use of but one hand, then struck
Powell two blows, after which they were
separated.

steamer Bear tumbled over on beam ends
yesterday on being taken out of the dry
dock. Tue ballast had been removed for
inspection and repair by the navy-yard
workmen, and not having been replaced

her. The carpenters, joiners, riggers and
other workmen were hurled pell-mell
among blocks of timber, plank, iron and
loose rigging, but one was badly injured.

RemarLahle Fast.
New York, March 29.—A most remark
able case of fasting is that of an Italian
laborer of Mulberry street, now at the
charity hospital. He was taken there suf
fering with dementia, due to meningitis.
For twenty-two days ho totally abstained
from eating. He was out of his mind dur
ing the whole period, and violent at times.
He clinched his teeth, and for more than
three weeks refused to relax his jaws, and
it was impossible to put nourishment into
his mouth. The physicians attending him
thought of pulling out his front teeth and
pumping food into his stomach
with a stomach pump. Finally
they supplied his system with
nourishment by injecting beef tea.
He lingered from day to day, gradually
losing flesh. At the end of his twenty-two
days’ abstinence from eating he rose from
his cot at noon, walked to the dinner-table,
took a knife and fork, and sat down. He,
ate three beefsteaks, four rations of pota
toes, two bowls of soup, one loaf of bread,
and six apple' dumplings. He ro-e and
talked rationally with a nurse, who hail
run in great alarm to the table. The Ital
ian was sane for the first time in two
months. He has eaten heartily since and
is pronounced recovered. He was seen at
the hospital yesterday, and was doing well.
Against Hiring Convict kabor.
Washington, March 28.—At a meeting of
the House Committee on labor, to-day, Rep
resentative James was unanimously in
structed to favorably report a bill providihg
that it shall be unlawful for any person in
the employ of the United States or any
State, to contract with any one to hire out
the labor of prisoners confined in any pris
on or jail, for violation of any laws of the
United States. A violation of the act is
made a misdemeanor punishable by a fine
of from S3OO to SI,OOO or imprisonment for
one to three years. Mr. James has pre
pared a report to accompany the bill.
It says in some cases State
prisons take persons convicted for violation
of laws of the United States without cost
to the Federal Government, and then in
order to make the arrangement profitable
have inhumanly treated them. The con
tract sy-stem, the report says, is wholly
adverse to reform. Prisoners are treated
as dumb beasts, being driven to work by
men whose only aim is to get a certain
amount of work from them every day; men
who look upon convicts as only- so much
machinery for making money, and whose
chief recommendation for the position is
that they are the highest bidders for the
human beings hired by'them.
Violent Storm at Denver.
Denver, Col., March 27. —A wind storm,
the most disastrous in many years, struck
this city early this morning. At this hour
(9 p. m.) it continues with unabated fury.

cluding the City Hall, and Moffat & Kass
ler, Symes & Clifford Blocks were unroofed.
Signs and awnings were torn down and
scattered everywhere. For several hours
together the wind maintained a velocity of
sixty miles an hwur. Several persons were
injured, none fatally. Telegraph commu
nication with outside towns is. interrupted.
It is . impossible to estimate ‘ the loss at
present.

London, March 28. Telegraphic com
munication between Dongolu and Berber is
broken. The standard’s correspondent at

Cincinnati, March 30.—The indignation
of the people over the verdict in the Ber
ner murder case, which developed into the
ly-nch-law mob and attack on the county
jail, was at a fever heat last night and Ham
ilton County’s costly and magnificent Court
house was fired and almost entirely con
sumed. It was a bloody night. Over one
hundred people were killed and wounded.
Yesterday morning groups gathered upon
every street corner, and the mutterings of
the crowd were continuous. With the first
glimpse of morn the curious crowd
began assembling in the vicinity of the
Court-house and jail, called from their
beds at this unusual hour by the almost
ceaseless firing of musketry the night be
fore. Long before noon all had become
aware of the carnage of the night. Hand
bills were flung in the faces of the many-,
urging the citizens to organize at once,
and make one clean sweep of the bloody
business while they were at it. “Heal
sores by purifying the body,” was the
motto displayed, the cry being that public
safety demanded immediate action. This
call for the vigilants still further inflamed
the minds of the masses, and looking upon
the wreck and ruin, the blood stains and
bullet sears visible everywhere about the
jail and its surroundings, their mutterings
were augmented to open threats; even the
more peaceful elements of the community
so far forgetting the majesty of the law as
to lend countenance to evidently to-be-re
newed riots. So dark was the outlook
that the building of barricades was
immediately began in the jail, the
Gatling gun, afterwards to be
used with such deadly effect, wheeled
into place, the militia, five hundred strong,
ensconsed within the hugestone edifice., and
platoons of police stationed at the head of
every street, giving access to the county
buildings. Dusk -Had hardly set-in when
the masses began to assemble and threaten
the structure in which was lodged the ob
jects of their vengeance. Beyond the cus
tomary hum of voices and an occasional
shout of some chance drunkard in the crowd,
nothing was at first to lie heard from the
obstinate and determined mob. Lights be
gan to flicker in the adjacent byways and
the buildings were illuminated for
squares around, anxious and expect
ant watchers being stationed at every win
dow. About the jail, however, all wr-s
darkness, the streevt lamps even having
been extinguished, and grim in its solitude
it stood threatening, like a mighty fortress
on a rock. The gloom of night being now
fairly upon them, the rioters hustled into
action, though with the same seemingly
aimless purpose as upon the preceding
evening.
There was no organization in the crowd.
It was a rabble,and a dozen compact soldiers
or policemen could have made them run
like sheep. A big, heavy-featured, respect
ably-dressed German essayed to be leader.
He had a club in his hand. “Boys.” he
shouted, “follow me: let’s go around to the
jail yard gate and burst it open, and take
out the !” A veil arose, and fifty
men and boys fell, into a rough line About
one-third of them carried broom handles,
clubs, axes, rakes and hammers. They
went around North Court street, the crowd
surging behind them. They were met by a
volley from the soldiery. Pell-mell the
mob rushed back, heads low, and brandish
ing wildly their weapons. Two or three
were seen to stumble. The militia did not
pursue the mob, but were evidently content
with preventing an onslaught ou the jail.
The remarks of Hie crowd were signifi
cant. Berner’s attorney, Tom Campbell,
and the jury were damned by everybody.
Berner had several apologists. Of course,
they argued, he could not be blamed for
trying to save his neck from the gallows,
although he deserved to be hanged and
quartered. “But that Tom Campbell, who
‘fixed’ the jury; and Shaw, who got a thou
sand dollars, he ought to have red-hot lead
poured down his throat!’’
Me.n swore by awful round oaths that if
they could catch Tom Campbell and the
jury they would hang them sky-high.
A few scattering militiamen, upon whom
all seemed to wreak revenge for the
carnage of the early morn in wLioh a
number were killed and wouuded, now ap- j
peared in the throng, intent upon joining
tlieir comrades in the Court-hou.-e rotund t.
“Kill them 1 kill them!” was heard upon
every side, while stones aud missiles of !
every description flew over and about them, !
crashing through windows, battering down j
doors and causing other destruction.
By a miracle these stragglers es- '
caped, but their assailants, thus I
encouraged, pressed upon the long line of
police, to whose protection the militiamen *
owed their lives, and continuing the fusi- !
lade of stones, the windows of the Treasu- i
rer’s office were demolished and the rioting j
began in earnest. The patrolmen, as a j
warning, discharged a volley of blank
cartridges from tlieir navy sixes, and the i
crowd lor an instant wavered, some of the
more timid even taking to flight, but the
leaders again pressed on, when another 1
volley was given them. Confusion now
reigned supreme. The sounding bells soon
announced the burning ot the Treasurer’s
office and all the records, in attempt
ing to save which Capt. John J.
Desmond, of Company B, First
Regiment O. N. G., was sho* through the
head and instantly killed. Other victims
were soon added to the list. The gatiling i
gun with death-dealing force was shortly i
turned upon the crowd, and the fighting !
from that on became no longer a contest j
for the prisoners in the jail, but a general
warfare upon the militia. At midnight the
dead and dying were thick about the Court- i
house square, which building being in
flames it is thought will be totally de
stroyed. The Fire Department being sent
for refused to n spond, and guards were
sent to them in answer to their telephone
demand for aid. At Engine-house No. 4,
steam engines Nos. 3 and 4 were then wait
ing for an escort of iroops.
A number of the leaders of the rioters
were arrested, carried into the jail and
locked up. They were all nice-appearing
fellows and well dressed. Another of tiie
rioters being wounded was taken within
the jail, a smoking revolver still in his
blood-stained hands. Officers Kennedy
and Lieutenant Tom Meara at one time
rushed into the assaulting crowd and ar
rested John Bkinner, Fut Fizzer and another
man, who appeared to be a leader, and all
were placed behind the bars immediately.
At "a few minutes past 12 o’clock the
Fourteenth Regiment of militia was or
dered to file out into the open square facing
the Ceurt-house aud charge with fixed b&y-
onets npon the crowd, and disperse them
at all hazards.
By 11 o’clock the mob had succeeded in
setting the interior of the Sheriff’s offic e
on fire, and, defending the approach to its
confines in the lower portion of the Court
house proper, the entire building was soon
iu flames. It was while leading a detach
ment of men into this apartment from
the rotunda that. Captain Desmond and
Private McGuire were killed. Lieutenant
of Police Devine and Recorder Hill still
pushed on despite the shower of bullets
from the attacking party without, but all
efforts to save the records proved lutilo.
From here the conflagration spread rapidly,
and the huge stone edifice was lev midnight
wrapped in towering sheets of flames and
smoke. At half-past 12 the Surveyor’s
office on the South Court street side was
completely d-molished and the fire was
then ranging in the third floor of the'
building. ine heavens for miles around
were brilliantly illuminated, great masses
of sparks now and then shooting upward
as block alter block of stone, and massive
beams of oak fell into the all-de
vouring element. At 1 o’clock all thought
or hope of checking the fire had been aband
oned, and before the day dawns the
great stone structure, so long an ornament
to our city, will be a mass of ruins.
A telephonic message reoeived irotn Col
onel Hill, at the Court-house, at an early
hour this morning, states that despite all
efforts the public records can not be saved,
and will all be consumed by the devouring
flames. A rumor also gamed circulation
that over one hundred men were in the
third floor of the Court-house in imminent
danger of being consumed by the devasta
ting element. The Court-house is all gone
except the Superior Court cousulta ion
room, so far as can be seen from Main
street.
The Fourteenth Ohio National Guards ar
rived upon the ground at half-past 12
o’clock, and deploying oh Main street, fired
westward on Court. The first volley killed
five people and wounded many more.
Just the result of the succeeding volleys,
fired at longer and longer range, as the
mob fell back and scattered, it couid not be
determined, but as the fire was delivered
with precision, there must have been many
more casualities. The net result was
that at 1 o’clock the military and
police were in at least tem
porary possession of the battle-field, and
the firemen were permitted to go to work
unmolested on what was left of the burn
ing Court-house. There were several mili
tiamen hurt but- none killed outright in
tnis battle. At 1:1a a. m., the situation
growing more serious, Governor Hoadly r
ordered the Fourth Regiment, which was
t bivouacked at the C., H. & D. Depot, to
march from the depot out Fourth street to
Sycamore, and charge the mob in the rear.
About a quarter of three o’clock the re
port reached Hammond Street Station that
about three hundred men were on their way
to Kittredge’s and Powell’s gun stores, on
Main street, with two cannon that they had
captured at Music Hall. There were pos
sibly twenty men hauiing the guns. Lieu
tenant John Burke left the station-house
with a small squad of men, and' marching
»tp to the crowd scattered them with a few
1 :G1 directed pistoljsnots, ami then pulled
i ae cannon up Main and handed thtm over
to the militia.
A gentleman, a stranger in the city, pre
vented a massacre, on Ninth street last
night \yhen a company of militia filed from
behind, a barricade. The military came
out a short distance, then presented arms,
and he heard the click of triggers. He en
tered an etiergesic protest against their
firing on the crowd, which could he seen
down Ninth street, and induced the Cap
tain in command to. go a short distance
with hint and look at .the crowd. He con
vinced the officer that they were all inno
cent persons; that.there was no mob there,
and the officer was very thankful that he
had been prevented from such a deed. It
was a stranger company.
Burdsal’s drug store, on Main street, near
Court street, at two' o’clock this morning
had been turned into a for
wounded soldiers. Among tlmse there
were Lieutenant-Colonel Wm. Nk Leggett,
of the Fourteenth Regiment, Columbus,
Ohio, slightly, wounded. Sergeant Mike
Malone, Company B, First Regiiuent xCin
cinnati, Ohio, flesh wounds. Captain
Slack, Fourteenth Regiment, Company F,
Columbus, Ohio, wounded in the right
hand.
FirstJSergeant Amil, Company <F, Four

Company F, Fourteenth Regiment, Colum
busmwounded in hip and leg—not seriously

Among the casualty s of the citizens were
the following: Three men were carried to
tiie drug-store at the north-west of corner
Court and Walnut. Philip Harman, a
yourg man, was shot in the groin, and it is
thougnt fatally. D. Gluicklicb was shot in
the ankle, not seriously. An unknown
man, probably twenty-five y'ears old, re
ceived a mortal wound in the neck. Two
more wounded men were found in a doc
tor’s- office on the north side of Ninth.
Edward Relnn was shot through the calf of
his leg, making a painful but not serious
wound. Juun Proth, a boy not eigditeen
years of age received a gaping
w'ound in his shoulder, which
will probably result in the loss of his
arm. At a saloon on Ninth street, beyond
Main, were found several dead and wound
ed. Edward Wise was shot through the
foot. George Kolp was Radiy wounded in
the right leg below the knee. The bone was
shattered. At this place there were also

wound was made by a soldier’s bayonet.
ASSAULT ON A GUN STORE.
During the evening a small portion of
the crowd detached itself from the main
body and moved south on Main street, and,
stopping in front of Rowell’s gun store,
which is on that thoroughfare between
Fourth and Filth, they made preparations
to force an entrance. Private watchman
John Connelly faced the men and said:
“Don’t smash in the windows. If you
will enter, do so decently.” They acted on
the suggestion and started forward. There
was an unexpected report of a pistol—some
one said it came front the the inside of the
store—and the foremost man fell. A second
shot, and another went down. Hesi
tating for a moment, another advance was
made, more shots were heard, until five
men, all told were lying on the ground, two
of whom were dead, and three wounded.
The dead were John Dugan. One bullet
had entered the lett eye and another the
center of the head at the side. Thomas A.
Green, dead, with a wound in the left
breast. The wounded were: Joseph Wise,
left side; Charles Eberhart,
right leg; Ben Herzogg, right
knee; William McHugh, right thigh,
Michael Mack, left arm: amputation neces
sary. The crowd alter this contented itself
with igniting some barrels and rolling them
against Powell’s store, where they burned
without doing the building any dantagp.
An alarm was sent in for this reason front
box 24, but the engines were not used.
BERNER IN THE PENITENTIARY.
Columbus. March Berner, the Cin
nati murderer, who escaped the officers at
Loveland, was recaptured by Criminal
Bailiff Joe Moses and several other officers
near Montgomery, 0., and, after a some
what exciting experience, was landed safe
in the Ohio Penitentiary about 8 o’clock
last evening.
Cincinnati, March 31. —All day yester
day the streets in the vicinity of the Court
house were thronged with people viewing
the ruins of the building. AH the streets
that lead up to the Court-house and jail,
the alleys that lead into them, and the
bridges, were all protected by barricades,
behind which the militia stood all day,
their musket barrels pointing over the tops.
In front of these barricades the police kept
tin open space of a hundred feet or inCre,-
so that the five or six blocks im
mediately around the Court-house was
entirely ’ clear. The people that were
out in the afternoon were mostly a
throng of curious sight-seers, and only oc
casionally did the police have any trouble,
when some fellow who had been drinking
began to talk loudly and bitterly against the
militia and crying for blood. Tue police
took these fellows in and carried them off
to cells in the jail. Several of these raids
were made into the mob, and once or twice
the mob made a rush after the police,
wnieh'however was quickly checked by the
men behind the barricades, who leveled
their guns and called a halt,
after which they cleared out the
street, and the cross streets to the side
ot the barricade, in both directions; and
men, women and children, in their best
clothes as if for a holiday on the street,
rushed pell mell out of range. Some
gradually came back again; others went
home, fresh sight-seers taking their plaoes.
The scene at the was appal
ling, and viewed from West Court street a
full sense of the terrible work of the mob
of Saturday night was at once apparent.
The front, with - its thick wall
and massive pillars,. stood intacts
but everything but the walls was in ruins.
Of course the windows were all broken and
the wood work burned out of pi ice in the
sills; the roof was gone, as were the floors,
and up through the windows was the beau
tiful blue sky, in such striking contrast to
the terrible Utsnlalion all ahout. In front
of tiie building are the charred remnants o
books and papers, soaked in water, but in
many places still smoking.
Last night’s battle was opened by the
militia on Court street at half-past 8. They
had the full sweep of the market space.
There were thousands ot people at the cor
ners and in front of the market-house, a
block distant from the barricade. There
was plenty of loud talkiug. All around
men were cursing their luck at not being
able to procure cahnon. A small portion
ot ifie mob made a movement toward the
barricade. A volley from the mititia
.scattered the crowd pell-mell. One man
/was wounded. %
After the first general firing of the militia
at 8:30 o’clock, things quitted down con
siderably, and the opinion was current that
th,e worst was over. However, at about
half-past ten the press at Court and Walnut
again became, as the military tiiougnt,
threatening and two shots were heard to
ring out upon the air. > These, it is
said, were from a pistol in the
mob, and the guns of the soldiers made re
ply. It was another of those death-deal
dealing volleys, the crack of the rifles and
the wuiz of the balls, causing even the
safely-shtfftered few to shrink at the
thought ot tiie horrible slaughter that must
ensue. So great was the confusion, how
ever, and so dense the crowd that nothing
definite could be learned at that time as to
the result, some, strange as it may seem,
asserting that no one out of the thousands
assembled was injured.
A summary of the list of killed and
wounded, reported at Habig’s morgue and
tiie City Hospital up to 2 oielock Sunday
morning, shows 24 killed and 39 wounded.
Up to 6 o’clock hurt night 5 additional
killed and 30 wounded were reported. As
many were taken to their homes, the total
numnerofdead can not be less than 45,
and 125 wounded.
The i ioters made i heir last rally- a few min
utes after midnight. They ha lat that time
become much reduced in numbers, and
while still threatening, were less ag
gressive. Having stolen about for
ty muskets from tbe Turners’
armory in Turner Hall,they fired on the
militia at Court and Walnut. Several vol
leys were fr ed by the militia, wnich were
replied to with some spirit by the rioters.
At last,a volley from, the Gattliug gun laid
low two or three of. their number, and en
tirely cooled their ardor.
A few random shots were fired after that
hour, but from then till morning compara
tive quiet reigned.
At military headquarters it is believed
that will be no renewal ot ho-tiilties
by and that the riot is substan
tial! ah end.
At 4 a. m., as a citizen was grossing West
-Court streer, near the barricade, he wa=
called on by the militia to halt, and, not
obeying the order, was fired on and wound
ed. He was taken away by the Patrol, and
his name was not learned.
Lieutenant Wright, from within the bar
ricades at the county buildings, s mis mes
sage at 4 o’clock this morning that all is
quiet except for now and then a random
shot.
Moths ir Carpets.
Moths will work in carpets in rooms
that are kept warm in winter as well
as in the summer. A sure method of
removing the pests is to pour strong alum
water on the floor to the distance of half
a yard around the edges before laying
the carpets. Then once or twice dur
ian- the season sprinkle dry salt over the
ca'rpet before sweeping. Insects do not
like salt, aud sufficient adheres to the
carpet to prevent their alighting on it.

Apparatus for Producing a Very Low
Tempe atnre Continuously.
Cailletet has constructed a continuosu
apparatus for producing intense cold,
which consists of a closed steel cylinder
in which is a coil of copper pipe which
projects from each end of the cylinder,
and one of these communicates w--h tho
mercurial piston pump already used by
Cailletet, while the other receives the
ethylene which has been compressed by
the pump and cooled by methyl chloride.
By this arrangement he forms a circuit
in which the same quantity of con
densed ethylene is' repeatedly evapora
ted in the copper coil, producing intense
cold and then compressed again by the
pump being sufficiently cooled with
methvl chloride and ready for evapora
tion again. This process goes on as
long as the sucking and compressing
pumps are working. — Compt. Rendus

A Discovery in Relation to Hydropho
bia.
M. Pasteur yesterday made an inter
esting-communication to the Paris Aca
demy of Sciences in relation to canine
madness. His experiments had shown
him that an injection in the region of
the skull of the virus of rabies always
produced the malady in an acute form,
but an injection in'the veins only oc
casionally had acute results, being often
followed by chronic affection only,
without barking or ferocity. If a dog
were inoculated with fragments of
marrow or of nerve taken from a, mad
dog, the disease would be communicated.
M. Pasteur further stated that he had
rendered twentv dogs proof against tbe
disease by inoculating them with other
virus than the virus of rabies. Fowls
and pigeons injected with the latter be
came affected, but soon recovered spon
taneously.
