for the Start Sunday.


for the Start Sunday.
MAssILLoN, Ohio, March 23.-At dusk
this evening two weary travellers. with
bundles swung across their shoulders,
arrived here overland from Twinsburg,
Ohio, and took up their quarters in an
abandoned freight car on the outskirts
of the tom.
They constitute the advance guard
of Coxey's great commonweal army
and are as yet all there is to it. GEN
eral Coxey and Chief Marshall Brown
have been flying about all day making
speeches from the tops of nail kegs,
submitting to interviews and indulging
in calculations for the march to begin
Sunday.
Coxey received nearly bushel of let.
ters to day from all parts OF the country,
several OF them containing money in
amounts ranging from 2-cent postage
stamp to 81 bill. There we're two
checks for 81 900 each and several for
smaller amounts.
These pieces of paper are being closet
guarded by Coxey, but it is the opinion
that they are not worth any moro than
the ink with which they are written.
Coxey has received assurance to day
that over 10000 mon Will reach Mas
si!on before noon Sunday, the time SO t
for the long march. Most of the letters
to-day containing these assurances bear
fake earmarks." but Coxey and Brown
take them in sober earnest and are now
positive that theirs will be the greatest
event since the war.

From Train.

RADFoRD, March 23.-The bridge
Waterman of the Norfolk and Western
railroad, stationed at West Radford,
found the dead body Of three weeks
old white infant on the West Radford
bridge this morning shortly after 9
o'clock. There was cord tied tightly
around the child's neck, sufficient to
cause strsngulation, and the marks of a
blow were on it's head. The body was
wrapped in copy of the Roanoke
Evening World of March 81, and was
warm when found.
Detective w. G. Baldwin, who was
in the neighborhood, was informed Of
the discovery and was soon in posses.

tele graphing to Robert M. Baldwin,
one of his men in BlueHeld, to arrest
Amanda Fannie Bowles, q white woman
who passed through Rsdford on train
No. l. The woman was arrested and
brought TO Radford this afternoon,
where she made a full confession.
She stated that her home was In Red
Valley, Franklin county, and that her
mother lives in Bramwell, w. Va. She
said that some time ago single woman
named Alice McCue, whose home is in
Bedford county, but who has been stay.

preached her and told her that she
would shortly want her to dispose OF a
child's body. Thursday morning, about
4 o'clock, colored woman named Eliza
Marcy brought the child to her.
The Bowles woman claims that the
infant was then dead. She got valise
from her brother, put the body in it
and got him to drive her to Roanoke,
arriving in that city at o'clock in the
afternoon. She says she staid over
night at hotel near the depot and op-
posite Hotel Roanoke and that she slept
with the body of the infant in her arms
The McCue woman told her to throw it
into the Roanoke river but she could
not do this as her brother staid wi, b
her all the afternoon
She boarded train No. l this morning
at Roanoke and rode to Radford with
the child in her lap. While crossing
the bridge she threw it from the win
dow, with the intention of having it
drop into the river. but it struck the
guard rail and lodged on the bridge.
The woman told her story in calm
manner, and showed no emotion over
her arrest. She did not account for
the cord being around the childs neck
nor the BODY being warm when found.
She was locked up, and will have a
preliminary hearing to morrow morn
ing.
The woman's story is an improbable
one, and is not believed by the officials
here. The child was we'll dressed and
its clothes were made OF fine material.
A TINES reporter visited all the hotels
and lodging houses in the vicinity of
