WASHINGTON, April 29.-Citizen
James S. Coxey, commander-in-chief of
the good roads army of the Commonweal,
standing on a rickety wagon in the cen
ter of the Brightwood driving park
waving aloft his alpine hat to one Of the
most cosmopolitan and extensive audi
ences ever gathered in Washington, an
announced this afternoon that the great
est march of the nineteenth century had
been accomplished. Three hundred and
a half of miserably dressed, woe-begone,
grumbling, out at the elbows and run
down at the heels. specimens of hu-
manity marched into the park, led by a
wheeling apology for a band, pitched
tents and stretched themselves in the
sun. Thousands from the city turned
out TO make a holiday of it and inspect
the curious aggregation.
Thick clouds of dust overhung the two
roads leading to Brightwood from the
city all day long, and they were plowed
with more travel than customarily beats
them in months. Two endless pro-
cessions swept along the roads all day
with such variety of travellers as had
never turned out in Washington since
war times.
Every horse and wheel vehicle in the
city had apparently been pressed into
the service. while the little trolly rail-
way line which was built for the benefit
of suburban residents, was ridiculously
inadequate to the demands upon il.
Lining the entrances to the park en-
terprising colored citizens had estab-
Hshed their booths for traffic in ginger
bread and sweetened water, which passed
current under the guise Of lemonade.
The semblance to a circus layout was
further enforced by the thimbleriggers
and shell men skulking about the out
skirts of the crowd. But when the peo-
pie poured into the park enclosure the
suggestion of circus day was fullblOwn
In the center Of the half mile race
track, tapped the canvass enclosure
which encircled the quarters Of the Com
monweal army.
Half a dozen weather-beaten army
tents stood about the canvas-drawn
circle, with several canvas covered COM
missary wagons. Tents and wagons
were covered with black painted daubs,
legends which were a queer mixture of
good roads, reincarnation and finance
The great Percheron horses were teth-
cred about the wagons. Near by were
fastened two large American flags and
the emblematic banners were piled on
the grounds. Most interesting of the
sights, however, were the human ele-
ments, the men VINO had marched and
borne the brunt Of mud and storms and
cold. They were the most unique and
inexplicable aggregation ever brought to-
gether. Some of them were at work
about the tents and wagons, others
curled up on the damp ground munching
great chunks of bread, and many more
stretched sleeping in the sun with their
heads pilloWed on rolled up coats.

and learning that the men at all the
other mines are out. Col. zimmerman,
on behalf of he operators, said in the
conference today that while the men
would have been at perfect liberty 10

came up. There was terrific thunder and
lightning got lost in the woods and was
of course frightened nearly out of my
wits.
My father and others came after me, and
found me. The next thunder storm that
came, not only revived the terror of sthat
experience in the woods, but made me sick
to my stomach SO that l had to go to bed.
And until I was sixteen years old l was
always affected that way by a thunder
storm. ] used to dread them so that got
to studying the sky every day, and could
tell with great accuracy whether there
was going to be shower or not. In fact

The New State Register.

The subscrib ers for the Maine Register,
1s94-95 edition, are now getting the copies
and can understand why it received the
only award at the Worlds Fair given to
any State register. This edition is "a
pages larger than any preceding one.
This gain is in the statistical matter in
the several towns and cities-thus show
ing that the State of Maine, evening in
these times of general business depress-
ion, is progressing.
The new map shows the Bangor &
Aroostook and the Georges Valley rail-
roads-also the Portland & Rumford
Falls and the Kingfeld & Dead River
extensions and the proposed route of the
Wiscasset & Quebec line.
There are few men of intelligence in
the State who do not at some time dur
ing the year have occasion to look up
matters connected with some one or
more of our AIS towns. 20 cities and
nearly 100 plantations. The officials,
business firms, professional men, and in
fact all interests are carefully given in
the Register, and no one can afford to
get along without it.

WHO POISONED T MAsTiFF
Big Handsome Dog Fonnd Dead-He
Was Buried by Officer Gould.

Yesterday, there was a complaint at
the police station that big dog was lying
behind Haskell's stable, between Franklin
and Hampshire streets, and was becoming
very obnoxious.
Officer Gould went after the dog. 1t was
a fine handsome mastiff, with collar on,
but was partially decayed and covered. with
Nuggets. A hook on long pole was in
serted in the collar, the dog was pulled out
carried away and buried. The odor was so
bad that Mr.. Gould did not get near
enough to see the name on the collar. He
thinks that undoubtedly the dog had been
poisoned and that somebody had lost a
valued animal.

A DENSE FOG.
The Emita Couldn't Make Her Landing
At One Time Last Evening.

There was big bank of fog outside
all day yesterday and occasionally it rolled
in and enveloped the islands. 1t did SO
last evening and was SO thick that the
Emita lost her bearings between Evergreen
and Great Diamond landings.
She was to have made landing at Great
Diamond at 6.45, but did not appear, and
finally made a landing at the Government S
wharf on Little Diamond and there re-
manned. The people waiting on Great
Diamonds wharf found that they were not
coming back, doubtless because of the low
tide,as we'll as the fog, and about 7.l5 some
of them rowed.ov to Peaks and got up to
the city in that way.

Peculiar Accident to Bay Fearnaught.

The valuable troting stallion, Bay
Fearnaught, met with peculiar and
dangerous accident at Rigby Park the
other day. There is sharp brad, about
an inch and three-Quarters long, that is
attached to the boot, and is inserted be-
tween the hoof and the shoe to hold the
boot in place. The boot was loose, and
the brad was pointing upwards, when
the stallion brought his foot down upon
it. The sharp point penetrated through
the hoof an inch and half, and up into
the quick. 1t had to be pulled out by
pincers, and a stream of blood spurted
aft er it. The horse will probably be
lame for ten days or fortnight.
