Two men have been arrested on suspicion of complicity tn tbo rohherv of the ex house. On the sidewalk In front of the drug store, on the southwest corner of Conrt and Walnut streets, five men were shot doad. The windows of the drug store, Its doors and the sidewalk In front of it were still stained and bespattered w'th blood. This firing west on Court street made travel on Vine street across Court, street very peril-oui. Many persons who were not of the mob, but who, on the contrary, were mere pedestrians on their way home, WKItK WOUNDK1) MO It 15 OH l.KHS crossing Vine street.

In fact it was not, near daybreak that It was safe to cross any point between Walnut street and Central avenue. After the dispersion of the rlotors by the Fourteenth Regiment the situation of Hffalra continued till nearly daybreak, when the crowds gradually melted away. In the meantime squads of the mob detached themselves and proceeded on an excursion through the city. One detacn-ment went to the Exposition Building and broke Into the powder hall, where the company had three brass cannon, and although they had been dismantled they were remounted. About 100 men then took hold of them and for some unaccountable reason DKAnUKD Til KM DOWN Fourth street.

All dealem In It hid taken the precaution during the day to remove it to a place of safety. They proceeded up to Main streft. Tho police, at the Hammond Street sta'ion, hearing of the approach of the caunonlers, were on tho lookout for them.

The procession turned up Main street, where about half of them went down on the lower streets TO HUNT FOR POWHKK. ent times. The first charge was mnde about 10:80 o'clock, when five men were shot, three of whom were killed. The ehotscame from tbe extreme eastern portion of the strtet. Quite a number of people In trying to keep from the flying bullets were knocked down In cellar-woys and were badly Jured by tbe surging crowd.

The next volley was fired from the north, ono man was killed and a little boy nun-tally wounded. The third volley ciime from tbe east, and resulted in tbo killing of three men. Ad aged man In a blind state of intoxication was coming east on the streft and tbe militia told him to stop. Ho was not able to comprehend them, and they fired on him and he fell lifeless on the s'reet with hK body completely riddled with bullets. TIIK THIRD DAY, The third day was almost a repetition In bloody scenes of the previous ones, but the superior discipline of the troops and their deadly discharges of musketry were too much for the unorganized and bloodthirsty mob, whicb were driven In disorder from the field of action, the troops and the civil authorities becoming movers of the situation.

HOW THK BATTLE OROUND LOOKS. Aside from the wreck of the Court House and the destruction of the gun stores of Powell and Kittredgc, the signs of the con flict which most amazed the crowd that, thronged the streets were tho (errlble boles made by the Mlnio balls from the militia's muskets. Windows were broken, wood work torn up and deep dents made in brick and stone wall. In one shed on South Court, nine bullet boles were counted, and all along Main, Court and Sycamore, high and low, the bullets had left their marks; not a round hole, but an oval, much largei than the ball Itself which gave evidence of the twisting course the balls take tn human bodies, causing THK AWPl'L, liAl'INO WOUNDS of which so many have been seen for the past two days. Opposite Powell's gun store Is the Dau berry Hat Company's store, and In its show window and door were counted twenty-six bullet boles, which bad crashed through the glass and wood and lodged in the back wall of the store, tearing up coun ters and shelving In their course.

Along Court street there were grazing marks on the walls on both sides of tho street everywhere from the ground to the roofs, but tbe large majority of them wero at a breast level, or thereabouts, giving, as well as does the lint of dead and wounded, evldenco of the fact that tbe State Guards fired ball cartridges and KIUKD TO KILL. Alonzo Rnel), a private In Company Seventeenth Regiment, was shot in the left leg. He wa In the detachment of militia sent from the city buildings to quell the riotous raid upon the Central avenue pawn shops. Although he knew he bad been wounded, he said nothing until pain and loss of blood rendered his limb unable to sustain bis weight. He was taken to the city buildings and there cared for.

KKA0-A MIKSINd LINK. A Child from lllrmah'a Jungles Which is Maimed to be tha "Missing Link." The Continent. Mr. Carl Bock, while exploring the wild jungles of upper Birmali. Asia, din-covered and raptured a strange family of human monkeys, consisting of Hit her, mother, and daughter.

The father was fit nt caught, afterward the eliild, when tho mother voluntarily surrendered. Mr. ck had much trouble tn getting his captives out of the country on ac count of the surntitions of the people. Frst he was opposed by therulerof Laos in whofce province thecapture wasmado. The father finally died of cholera, and lie was permitted tn take the child with wo chiefs before the king of Siniu, but the mother was ot allowed to go.

Alter much parleying he was at la.t required to adopt the child as his own, and give security for its good rare, and then allowed to take it to Knglnnd where it was exhibited nt the Koyn! aquarium, Went minister, London. Krao is 7 years old, and is quite a beauty notwithstanding some peculiar characteristics that might be deemed defects in Owen stun. Unlike the usual monkey type, she has two bauds and two very pretty, human-looking feet; nevertheless, a double row of teeth in lier mouth; iouches in her cheeks where she stows away surplus food; and a coating ol harover the entire body and face clearly connecting her with the quadru-mmm. She speaks many words both in Mulay and Knghsh; ib very allectionute, laughs when ploused, und is very spiteful when angry. Her legs from the knee dowi.

and hot arms from the elbow down are quiU too long for a human child; vet in her great block lustrous eyes seem to shine an intelitrence far above that of the brute creation. Her ability tospeak, to learn even the ways of civilization, seem to warrant the belief that she ought to be ranked with the rac which cooks and paints, aud laughs and talks. But what shall be inferred from the marks and features which seem so emphatically to connect her with a lower order of beings? In this connection, too, it is appropriate tocill attention to the rani tunic still prevalent among the Borneon Dy-aks concerning a race of men having tails, individuals of which living natives apparently trustworthy, as natives go declare that they have seen. Mr. Bock is the author of ah elaborate work on "Tho HeiuHluuters of Bornoe," lately published in Knglnnd ami was so impressed by tho apparent ti'iithfiillness of these stories that he actually organized two expeditions into tne interior oitlie liope of securing specimens.

The flames made a great light and a yell was raised that the jnll had been fired. Tt looked as though the mob had determined on a wholesale holocaust.

An alarm was turned on and the engines came to the scene, but could not get near the plaoe for the crowd, and seeing what it wan, wont back again, There was no danger there of tire. The mob kept present, howling as very demons, but doing nothing. Bit raking open htorkr. The mob broke Into the National Guard armory, took out about 1,000 muskets, formed three abreast and marched to tbe Jail. They shot away all their ammunition, and then marched down Main street and broke open Kltteredgo's gun store, which they filled, taking everything they could lay their ban ils on in the shape of arms and ammunition.

They were swearing they would yet get in and hang all the murderers Inside. They procured a barrel of coal oil and poured It over the sheriff's office, swearing they would yet burn down the building. The mob fired on the soldiers first when the latter came up from the cellar. The murderers In the oellswere scared nearly to death. Johnson, the black burker, was nearly white.

2:30 a. m. Theflrtngby the soldiers from windows has been terribly destructive. Tbe following wounded have been gathered Into the drug store at Court and Walnut streets, and at a hotel near by: James Green, dying. Walter Fay, dying.

These were all bystanders, and there Is growing a bitter feeling against soldiers The mob has taken all the arms they want from Klttredge's store, lueludlng a small cannon. CANNONING TIIK JAIL. .1 a. m. Loud reports from the vicinity of the Jail indicate either that the mob is firing the cannon or that barrels or coal oil are being exploded.

The mob at the Loveland depot was described as masked ami most furious. There were five ollioera with tbe man. Three got left with the Loveland mob and two left the train at Morrow, tbe next stopping plaoe. TIIK 8KCOND HAY'S SCKNKft.

Tbe second day was ushered In wttb a re newal of horrible hostilities. The thirst for blood waa still unuuencbed. What with the tremendous slaughter of men, the destruction of the Court House and the anarchy for the time prevailing, Cincinnati last night earned the title of the Paris- of America, In scene not at all complimentary to the olty. Citizens who hoped the trouble bad terminated with the demonstration on Friday night, realized the erlousr.e-s of tbe situation last night. The cltv was at the mercy of tbe mob.

Tbe street were running with blood. Terrified people were kepi awake in their beds by the deadly sound of fire arms. Surgeons were everywhere wlih bloody hand dressing the wounds of meu sht down in the streets.

At- 1 tacks and repulse continued till the Four- I tee nib Ohio Infantry arrived and lu the meantime tbe Court House waa fired thoroughly so as to be untenable by the soldiers, and the Fire Department were driven away by the mob. The Court House had been burning an hour and a half, when the Fourteenth Ueglment, 8x) men strong, arrived. This waa a little after 11 o'clock, local time. This regiment came up Hy ea rn ore street and entered the barricade on Sycamore and Fast Court streets, facing the Jail on tbe eastern side.

Col. Kmmons at once formed bis men aud proceeded to CI.KAR TUB 8THKKT8 adjacent to the Jail and Court House. He oharged the orowd and fired into it, shooting to kill. The sound of the arm was so continuous that people supposed the Gutllng gun was used. Col.

Senator reported favorably, with a r.u me of amendment, from the committee on military alt airs, the bill intrdueed by him entitled "A bill to increase the efficiency uf the army of the I tilted States." As introduced by Mr. Ixigan the bill contained a provision limiting the numtMjr of collated men In tho army tnlRj.ono. This provision was stricken nut tn the committee.

As oth rwlse amended the bill provides for an Increase of the monthly pay of non-commissloncd officers and men, the average increase being about $2 per mouth tn each case. The House judiciary commit ton ordered A favorable report on Tucker's 1)111 limiting the time for presentation of claims for hock pay or bounty due officers, soldiers or any other person for services in the late civil war or any previous war, to three years from the passage of the act. The bill also provides that nil other existing claims against the I'nftod States, ox ocptlng claims for pension, shall lie presented within six years from the passage of tho act. Claims against the I'nlted States, originating hereafter, shall bo presented within six years from tho time they accrue. The passage of Plumb's resolution by the Semite ayes nays 14 Is regarded by advocates of the Mouse plcuro-pneumonla bill as an indication that the latter measure will bo passed tn some shape, but the Plumb resolu tion was so amended as to confine operations of the Commissioner of Agriculture tooo-op-eration with tho proper State authorities tn eradicating the foot and mouth disease so as to prevent Its spr to other States and terri tories.

It is also provided that the government shall not be committed by any act of the Com missioner to an amount beyond fftO.OOO. This proviso will prevent the commission from seUlng and slaughtering cattle. It Is quite probable that several Senatora who voted for this resolution will oppose the passage of a general bill establishing a bureau of animal industry, and conferring upon the commission authority to order quarantine and soisure and slaughter of animals declared to be diseased.

The people of Cincinnati have put to sh-ime many of the celebrated mob of the Frcnnh capital In a recent riot growing out of the Indignation caused by the finding of the Jury In the oase of Berner, recently tried for murder and convicted of manslaughter only. To give vent to their feelings they called a public meeting to assemble In Music Hall on the 2ftth of March.

An allusion to the Berner Jury waa met by cries of "hang them;" bang them evil "lynch 'em." One man cried out: "I thought we came here to organize vigilance committee. If so let us get to work." Sbouta of "Yes ye," mingled wilh a few feeble "noes' greeted the suggestion. Order was partially restored and tbe speaker Introduced Oen. spoke In the same strain, with frequent interruptions of tbe same sort.
