TE3 PEACE ARMY MARCHING
ONTO WASHINGTON,
Scenes and Incident Along the Bout.
Terrible Weather and Bad Boadt.
The Third Day't March.
At (1:30 Tuesday inornirig the doon nf the
louisville (O.) city jail were unlocked and
75 l the "Commonweal" marched out. A
break isst of eggs, fresh meat, potato?,
bread and entire were served at lamp
Fetler Then tents Were struck and every
thing put In marching order. At 9 o'clock
the line of march wss taken tip to A llistire.
Utility eight recruiis were In line on foot,
the horsemen and driven bringing the total
up to a little over lot). The army lelt
lxuisville with the beat wishes of tbe
town'a people apparently, -dnyor Hnay
bad telegraphed Mayor F.scell of Alllaiu
that the crowd had conducted itaelf with
perfect good order.
'1 he third day's march waa Hie 12 ml lei
between Louisville and Allinni-e. This wat
mane in four hours. The roads were fear
ful In ninny places but fa-t time was mailt
on the good stretches. The line marched
in roliimtis of twos, and the order preserv
ed was excellent. Not a man deserted. They
were feeling theelTecis ol theliherat ration)
terved. and were In a Jolly humor. Foi
the first three miles the songsters of tin
army let themselves out. Their selection!
embraced the entire rnoge ot song litera
ture. I he olil ciinipmecting stntidhys.witli
phra'eolngies mure or less changed, wers
the reigning favorites.
The luir grounds were soon reached and
a vreat crowd wa'ched the erection of the
tents ut 'amp Hunker Hill.
The oflke of historian was created and It
will be tilled by Henry Vincent, the Chicago
reformer.
Coxey left for Chicago to nttend a horss
rate. He said he would join the column on
"hursdny. He expects to sell two of his
horses. The appeal issued by some ol
Clinton's citizens to the common people of
the country to assist Coxey out of his finan
cial straits has nut deeu productive of tuucb
fruit.
Urowne announced publicly that when
Coxey left for Chicago he had barely
enough to buy his ticket. He left the
Commonweal treasury with a ttoc: of
supplies, but not a cent in it.
About forty men were muster. 1 at Al
liance. Coxey's departure has caused
rumors tlint the expedition Is about to
rollapie. I'nlesi he is ruined financially

GAitrtEi.n, O. The weary Commonweal
Straggled into Heloit at noiin. live miles
out of Alliance and 2 from Pittsburg. The
niaich whs broken atNiles Junction, where
Marshal Hrowue called a halt lor half an
hour. llornbloning and chafing from the
villagers greeted the woe he gone Common
weal. Home of the bins ha I several bush

the appearance ol the men was so torlorn
that they were allowed to pass through
unmolested, feveiul have deserted uud
there was some grumbling.
Chicauo, Commander Coxey arrived
here Wednesday morning and went at once
to the stockyards to atimd the sale of his
trolling nock, lie was very much chargined
to find that Ins horses had been sold for I4.VJ
when he ex- cted to realize 1. WW. He lit

r-Ai.fM, !. Strnnce a it may seem,
Coxey's tinny, "Hie Commonweal of
Christ," as the MassiTion horseman, Mar
shal Hronne anil the dapper and myster
ious ' I ii know n'' cull the outfit, continues
to grow, and that loo in the face of most
adverse conditions. The tinny , now num
bers over 120.
One hall of the distance traveled Wednes
day was over a road mat is simply awful
lis ruis are almost bottomless. Again anil
again the heavy conmns-nrv and camp
wagons became ftalled and the army had
to i estopped to put a shoulder to ita
Wheel.
W eunesday's march has been a fearful
test and yet, led on by a man who rules
with a r d ol iron, the known," the
ill clad, poorly shod army has tramped on.
'The movement Is no joke. The army's
march la a ober reality.
The condition ol these highways warrants
the formation of a good road association
ol some kind, Everyone in the march is
unanimous on that point. The condition
of the roads also warrants the predictions
made by Curl Urowne in his So. 8 bulletin
issued l'ebruury 2K. He wrote then: "The
roads will be horrible but the season of the
year chosen lor this movement Is at a
time when the roads will make people real
ize the necessity of the hill heitiK passed
more than at any other time." There is
another point in that bulletin that is not
without ita force just now. It reads:
"It it not expected that any large number
will march with us all the way but that
there will be by the time we reach ald
ington many thousands. More may get
there by rail or other conteyance. The
meeting in Washington la the main ob
jective point of tbit program. Uet there
somehow."
THE PlrTH PAY'S MABrtf,
Tbe Coxey army entered Columbiana, O.,
like conquering heroes with Hying banners
and was received with cheers.
In Leetonia the army was qttnrtered In a
building formerly used as a nail factory.
I he army squatted on tbe Moor and whs
served with hot cofTee,.sandwiehea and hard
boiled eggs by the cit,ns.
Tbe reception in l,eelunla and Columbi
ana were exhibitions ot the richest hospi
tality. (Jen. Coxey arrived from Chicago
about two hours In advance of the army
and joined It on the outskirts of town. He
was received with raptuous cheers. He
expressed himself as more than satisfied
, . f,1'! "r ,riP Chicago and
as delighted with the progress of the army.
He said that he thought that there would

provender They roasted a wliole beef and
baked 1,000 loaves of bread. They hung
tlaKa on tbe outside ol houses and welcomed
the army as a baud of brothers.
1 he growth and progress of the army are
both remarkuble. The army is stop,ed,170
strong in the dismantled Johnson stove
foundry. The increasing strength of the
army and the entbusiusiu with which it
plows through the awful country roads
leads one to wonder what the erray'a size
will be when the weather get belter, uud
the euthusiaeticreceptiou given it in Lee

its way through horrible slougns.
The best breakfast of the campaign was
terved here, the generosity of the good po
pis of Columbiana making it possible
the bill of fare to embrace fried ham nd
eggs, sausage, bread and butter, roflee a..,,
milk. This put the army in high spirits.

overland via New Waterfonl, where tbe tin'

out to see the circus. The, army was met
a mile outside ol town by a band of stu
dents from Mt, Hope College out for a lark.
They bore a rude banner Inscribed "Coxey
or Host." Urowne accepted their tender of
escort in his usual dramatic manner. At
the edge of the town there wan an alleged
brnsa hand drawn up and on i he appearance
of the army it let loose en awtul composi

(Several men had Ills when they heard it.

There had been donated by the peop e

heavy and the men faint from hunger. They
were pushed forward at a rapid rato by the
officers. Half an hour hrouirlit them to the
Mute line. As a sort of Intimation of what

After a si'ven-mlle march the army was
halted at Darlington in an open Held, where

What is more satisfactory to them than
anything; else Is the generous manner iu

found it hard work to keep many people in

bles, canned goods and fresh butter. This is
very timely aid, for the army had reached a
point where It was faring very niengerlv It
was fed very lightly Huudav. For breakfast
each man got a hunk of bread and a very
weak article of coffee, without sugar or milk
The discontent over the poor breakfast wait

It consisted of boiled potato) s, bologna and
bread. No otlmr food was served. The
army is not well pleased that rations donated
as generously as they were here are not irlveu
out more freely.
The secret is believed to he that Coxey Is
looking to the future. He dropped a very
signillcant remark while talking about Huu
lay s recruits, lie said while he could not
rel use to accept good men he did not really
want auy more marchers. Asked why. he
said by the end of this week he will be in the
mountains. The army has been coming
through a rich agricultuml n'glou where no
one Is allowed to go hungry.
(letting past Pittsburg it'will lie in a moun.
tiiinous region, the inhabitants of which have
a hard struggle to koop themselves. Coxey is
mindful ol I Ills and Issaviughis store against a
time when food may lie required to keep hun
gry men from lawlessness. Much, at least Is
the belief. Coxey does not talk on that
point.
Most of the arrangements of the army here
were personally supervlaed by Mllls.aecretary

Knglish, Ind , reports that the past two
nights' frost has, iioulille-s. destroyed the
apple crop, the buds of which were well
advanced. All small fruitand teaches were
destroyed weeks ago.
An Indianapolis dispatch sayt: The cold
wave which is now sweeping over the
country has probably cut the chances for a
fruit crop in this State down to a very low
deirree. For severel weekt past the
weather has been unusually warm for the
season and the result was that When the
cold snap came it caiwlit the fruit trees just
ready to burst the swelling beds Into bios
toms. It is thought that peaches were to a
large extent killed by the severe weather in
January, but such as escaped then are now
certainly gone. Cherries, plums and
apples are almost totally destroyed in the
central and northern part of the State, but
it is hoped that tbe hills in the southern
part (the great apple section) have saved
thestaplo fruits
In .Missouri; the entire crop, Including
peaches, except probably late apples, it
thought to be killed. Much wheat is suppos
ed to be ruined. In Illinois the In-ezj did
Creat damage to fruit and vegetables. The
lids of the pears, cherries and early apples
are thought to be killed. Pie plant, aspara
gus, and other early vegetables suffered.
Strawberriis are Injured. There will be no
f'esch crop whatever, this freeze having
inished theruin wlucli the January cold
snap began, ice formed to the thickness
of several Inches, (irass and wheat are
withered, cherries and peacli buds blighted
and early garden truck undoubted y de
stroyed. The damage to the full wheal crop
is believed to be very serious.
ll is thought the cold weather has killed
the strawberries in the vicinity of Cairo.
The Missouri is frozen from bank to hank
at St. Joseph, Mo. The mercury has been
away below freezing all over the' Burlington
system for two days but it is not believed
tne apple crop has been injured there, tbe
buds not being sullicieiitlv open.

All kinds or fruit, vegetables and foliage
have been killed.
It will take SO0,010 to cover the damage
by frost to fruit, early vegetables, wheat
and oats in Northern Georgia, Northern Al
abama and lower East Tennessee.
He lions irom all sections ot Mississippi
are that the damage done by oold has been
enormous, (.aniens were remarkably
early. Nearly everything up in them
