The Armor Plate Contracts.
The complete statement of the facts in
regard to the Carnegie armor plate con
tracts shows that things were done which
the Navy Department and President Cleve
land held to be illicit, if not absolutely
fraudulent. The general management bad
nothing to do with the irregularities and
the responsibility for them extended no
further than the superintendant of the
armor plate works. The irregularities
were marked enoogh to attract the atten
tion of employees, who sold the informs
tion to the government lor a reward of zo
per cent of the money penalty top"'"''"
The Carnegie Company had to pay
4M4.1M, of which the informers received
•35,121.23. , .
.Standing out conspicuously in the mass
of details, was the fact that th«r work done
was of a superior character, despite all the
Imperfections alleged. Secretary Herbert
closes bis statement with the declaration.
"Tbougb the armor famished is believed
to be better than any yet furnished to the
ships of other countries, the government
has imposed penalties as an indication of
its intention that contractors must, in the
future, tnltill completely 'be v«ry high
standard laid down in their agreement.
The Carnegie Company has had to pay
heavily for an official lesson in the execu
tion of government contracts.
The "Army" Moved.
Massillon, 0., March 20.—The common
weal got away yesterday—not 10,000
strong, as predicted by its projectors, but
made up of about 70 marchers on foot, who
tramped after Harry Smith "the un
knowu," who rode one of Coxey's horses
and was riggedout in yachting cap, blue
overcoat, cream-colored trousers and
leather leggings. Honore Jackson, the
half breed, lost himself in advance of tbe
marchers, as his Indian outfit made bim
tireless and kept bim on the go.
Tue people of Maasilloo were so thank
ful that their day of deliverance from the
cranks bad come that tbey turned out
early in the morning to see the prepara
tions for departure from Camp Concord.
Bugler Windy Oliver blew a few blast*
and the camp was astir, the tramps having
rolled out ot tbe straw on which tbey had
spent the night In the oircus tent. Com
missary Weary I lor then made coffee, and
tbe army lined up for its Issue of rations.
Each man received a piece of bread, a
lamp of raw meet anJ »U the coffee he
.wanted. They then boiled the meat by
holding it before the camp camptire. After
break fa*t the tramp* were drilled py
Smith, and Browne inane u speech based
on hi* interpretation of a portion of the
Book of Revelation*. Nebody know* yet
what he wa» talking about.
Casper Johnson, a negro of Buckhannon.
W. Va., then took his place at the bead of
the procession and carried the *tar* and
■tripe*. A pair of tramp* cam* next, one
carrying the official banner of the com
monweal. Another banner bore a repre
sentation of Coxey'* face and the word*.
"The cerebrim of the commonweal ' The
reverne Hide bore three female figure*. »»p
--posed to represent the grace*, but they
were scantily clad, one in white, one in
blue, and the other in red. Next thews
bauuer* came Marshal Browne, riding the
J'ercheron Courier. f»r which Ouxey i* sup
posed to have paid SB,OOO in fiat money
Jesse Coxey, the commander* wn, in a
gray and white unit, rode beside Browne,
Bugler. Oliver and I>r J II Kirtland, the
i'llUl'Urg astrologer, al»o rode u* a pail
of Brow ue'* staff Kirtland Maid the stars
were *tlll all right. The next position wa*
taken by Coxey and a colored boy in a
phaeion. The boy call* himself Charles
William*, of Port Chester. N V. Follow
ing the phaeton was » tramp carrying a
banner luatribad, "Christ is Oar Leader.''
The platform wagon followed, and behind
it rode ' The Unknown," on one of Corey '*
hor»e», followed cloeely by the unwashed
on loot. Three camp wagon* brought up
the rear. The "Goddess of Liberty" wa*
not in the procession, and Oaklaboina Ham
and other picturesque characters were
deeply grieved by her absence Mrs. Coxey
No. 2 ami her *ister, Lilly Jones, rode in
the column as far »* Keedurban. where
they bid Coxey good-bye and drove back
to Coxiana.
This motley crowd wa* reinlorc«d along
the road by poople on horse back and in
carriages, who te 1 in for a time out of
cnrin: ity. and gave the precession some
thing ol the appearance of respectability.
At Keedurban the army was formed Into a
hollow w|uare for dinner, and bread,
corned beef and canned salmon were
served. Browne talked again—he always
Ulk* if any one will listen—and about 600
spectators looked on until the tramp*
moved out of Canton.
At Canton camp was pitched opposite
the workhouse, in a lot belonging to
Cbailea F. (iaiblin. Browne again took
advantage of the presence of the curiou*.
and i* supposed to have interpreted Itev
elation* while Hiuith superintended the
camp work. Some contributions were
iaad» by the people, and In the evening
ration,i were issued in the »bape of tried
bat on, baked beans, boiled ham, bread
and coffee. The camp wa* named Camp
Lexington, but it wasn't much more than
put Ui order when suow began falling and
a *hiver ran through the soldiery. About
150 men essayed to sleep in the taut, but
desertions *ot in early, many of the tramps
preferred lodgiug in the police statiou or
at the warm "ide ol furnace* to a place in J
a grossamer tent.
Coxey is not democratic enough to un
dergo the yriyttivwt ol his ineu, for be I
found comfortable quarter! in the Harford
house. He says he will leave the army at
Alliance and go to Chicago to attend a
torfe "ale. He is to join the tramps later,
• at Ridgeville. Md.. is to break away
again and go to New York.
Col. James E. Pepper, of Kentucky, has
had an execution ot $24 000 issued against
Coxey and attached the later'? 40,000 stal
lion Acolyte. Coxey bought the horse
from Pepper, but only paid $16,000 on him
and Pepper says he will wait only until
Wednesday for settlement.
Replying to Coxey's invitation to lead
the march to Washington. Citizen George
Francis Train says: "So: President, Con
gress, Geld, Sugarcrata absorb anarchism,
shooting Niagara Falls; evolution sighted:
ballots not bullets."
The army left Canton. Monday noon,
and reached Louisville. 0. that night and
camped there.
The first disorder laid to the door of the
commonweal army occurred there, that
nignt There was a shooting affair in
in which three of C'oxej's men and a fanner
were the participants. Three shots were
tired by the agriculturist but no one
was hurt. The farmer then charged the
soldiers with robbery and there was a live
ly tilt over this. Everything was finally
settled, but the town was greatly disturbed
and the citizens were afraid of the com
monweal followers.
On Tuesday the army marched thirteen
miles, and that night encamped at Alli
ance. During the day about twenty re
cruits joined the army. Coxey took the
train for Chicago to sell some horses.
On Wednesday the army marched
thirteen miles, reaching Salem that after
noon, where they recived a royal recep
tion, and were joined by quite a number of
new recruits. They were to march to
Leetonia next day, and some trouble was
feared there
Entertainment at School No. 4, Middle
sex Township.
On the evening of March 9th. the bell
that calls together the band of sixty bright
and merry pupils of So. 4 School, Middle
sex township, day after day. proclaimed to
the parents and friends of the children of
the community that they were invited to
attend an entertainment to be given by
the pupils of said school, under the super
vision of the teacher, Mr. D. D Dodd*,and
before mentioning any o'the selections o
the programme we wish to say that Mr.
Dodds is one of the most thorongb and
competent instructors in both mental and
literary limes a» ha» beei proved to the writ#
by visiting the school and entertainment.
At 7:45 p m. the house was filled to its
utmost capacity, then a tap of the be'l an
nounced music and mnsic it was in the truest
sense of the word. The orchestra was
composed of the Myers family assisted by
Messrs McCrea and Wilmer and it respond
ed in a most pleasing manner during the
intervals of the programme.
After two beautiful selections by the or
chestra the curtain was drawn and we
were greeted with a Glee by the choir,
which was composed of Misses Black, Mc-
Pann, and Ludwick, Messrs Black, Morris,
Gerner, Thompson and Dodds, with Mrs.
Thompson at the organ. This was deliv
ered in a very creditable manner and re
ceived the hearty applause of all. Then
followed the Address of Welcome by
Joseph Thompson; a declamation "The
little speaker," by Willie Cooper; a dia
logoe by eight little girls in which each
told us in a pleasing manner "what they
would rather be;" "Kentucky Bell" was
recited by Maggie Cowan. "The little boys
dream," by John Wilson, both acquitted
themselves well; Mu-io, after which the
comic dialogue "Train to Monro" w*. well
acted; recitation "You put no flowers on
Papa's grave," by Maamie Thompson was
well rendered; recitation "Gambler's wife"
by Myrtle Wilson; recitation "A voice
from the poor house" by Bell Richardson,
the way and manner in which this was
rendered made it one of the most enjoy
able treats of the evening; n. Xt we were
favored with a selection of instrumental
music by the orchestra, after which Master
Willi" Dodds declaimed in a most pleasing
atyle "How Betty killed the bear." This
was so heartily applauded that Willie was
compelled to appear attain and declaim 'n
a most humorous style "The old Maid s
prajer" which deserves special commenda
tion, seldom ff ever have we met a boy of
5 years who can appear on the stage with
such ease. Recitation "Over the hill to
the poor house" by Blanche Gray which
was well recited; followed by a dialogue
"King Roughneard and Princess"; "The
burning prairie" was then recited by Maud
Crooks; declamation "Widow's daughter
by Robbie Thompson; followed with music
by the orchestra, alter which Gorman
Haul mire expressed his ideas of "The Sil
ver question," Dialogue "From down
east, in which each ol the characters ac
quitted themselves well; recitation "Leak
ID BY M»R W-B.MSNDE. whim* was
well received; aftei which the choir sang a
beautiful glee; recitation "The last hymn
by Emma Thompson; followed by a dec
lamation by Charlie Osborn; dialogue "In
want of a servant" in which Miss Richard
son and Mr. Reisinger deserves special
commendation for the way they acted
their parts; following this Miss Eliza
Thompson recited "Jennie McNeal's ride"
in an elegant manner. At the close of this
performance we noticed Mr Dodds had ob
served his jolly friend Will Cri«well in the
audience ai.d after some difficulty succeed
ed in escorting him to the stage and on be
iug introduced he favored the audience
with two of bis comic songs which were
very entertaining indeed; following this
Miss Burtner recited in a very creditable
manner "An old sweet heart of mine;"
following this was a dialogue "Viola's
answer" which was rendered in a very
enjoyable style; Miss Kitlie Criswell sang
in a very pleasing manner "Two little
girls in blue;" tollowlLg this Blanche
Crooks recited in an attractive manner
"Curlew shall not ring to-night;" followed
by a medley by ibe choir wni' h was sung
and acted to perfection; Miss Susie Thomp
son then recited the -New church organ."
Miss Thompson certainly deserves special
commendation for the manner in which
she recited Ibis selection. After a pleasing
selection ol instrumental music the humor
ous dialogue "Silting for a photograph"
was given, the sentiment of the audience
seemed to say that this was one of the best
dialogues they bad ever seen on the stage
and it met the hearty applause of all.
Messrs Burtner and Black are certainly
excellent characters in such a p'ay; follow
ing this Miss Bell Richardson rendered in
a most pathetic style "Good night, Papa";
after which Harry Ludwick delivered the
Valedictory address; and alter a few very
appropriate remarks by the teacher, Mr
Dodds, the large assembly was dismissed.
Almost three hundred people were in at
tendance, and never did we see such per
fect order prevail in so large an audience
and in such limited circumstances.
The enteitaiument was of the highest
order throughout and we cannot com
mend too highly the teacher, pupils and
friends who gave us such a literary treat
ou aforesaid uiglit and hope that it may be
our lot to meet Mr Dodds again in No. 4,
conducting his band of pupils with the
same marked degree of success that be has
in the term which is almost gone.

Great Gas Territory.
In an article published in the Pittsburg
Dispatch in 1862, A. W. McCullocgh, of
Butler, prophesied the future develop
ment of the recent gas territory developed
in the southern part of Armstrong county.
This coupled with the fact that Mr. McCul.
lough, located the late gusher struck by
the Carnegie Gas Co. on the Jacob Shell
hammer farm in the northeast corner of
Parks township, which is the largest gas
well in the Suite, has made his prophecy
historic. All the large gas companies are
scouring that section of country paying
from S3O to SSO per acre bonus and SSOO to
S9OO per well. As an idea of excitement
ihat'prevaila n that section we state that
Emmet Beck leased his farm for $3025 cash
bona* and Mrs. Beck leased her farm lor
S3OOO cash bonus, etc., which is owing to
Mr. McCollongh's efforts in developing the
terotory soathwest of Cochran's Mills. —

that there was quite a commotion aineng a
herd of cows confined in a yard. One cow
in particular seemed to be very much ex
cited, and Mr. Paluier, thinking that the
matter needed investigation, jumped over
the fence, but immediately jumped back
again when he saw an enormous snake
hanging to the cow's udder.
He procured some stonis which be threw
at the snake and succeeded in making it
dislodge its bold upon the cow, wbeu it
started off toward I)eep Hollow, which is

H»4iam»rter at the tbiekeit portie* of its
length could not have been less than six
inches. He also claims tbat it left a lumi
nous wake or trail behind it, and that it
was probably a black snake or one of a
similar species. An investigation of (be
herd of cows th'»wed 'hat the huge reptile
had robbed fire of them of tbeir milk.
