JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, April 3.-The
trouble over the issuing and sale Of county
bonds has developed into a wrangle be-
tween the Democratic county treasurer,
RAIDER, and Democratic County Auditor
Oglesby. Some weeks ago the floating debt
of the county, amounting to $4,000. was
ordered bonded, and the bonds sold ac-
cordng to law. After bonding the debt
County Treasurer RAIDER sold them to
Cleveland Broker, A. X Fleischman, at
par. AS the bonds were bearing per cent.
interest this caused much comment, there
being number In the county who would
have been glad to take them and pay
good premium There was a loud protest
from the tax payers. o. E. Shaw, represent
ing Rudolph, Klaybolte & Co., of Cincinnati,
appeared and offered to take the bonds and
pay $500 premium. The County CommiS-
sioners met to-day in special session TO de-
eide on what course to pursue, and, being
advised by County Attorney Ferguson to
sign the bonds claiming that the issue and
sale had been perfectly legal, they did so
and sent them TO Auditor Oglesby to have
his official seal and signature at
tached before they were delivered.
Auditor Oglesby refused to sign the
bonds, claiming that they were not sold
TO the best advantage or highest bidder,
and that he does not consider the contract
made by the treasurer valid, as the con-
tract was made by the treasurer before the
bonds were printed, before they We're
signed by the commissioners and certified
to by the auditor. and that the sale was
not advertised and made public in accord
ance with the statutes. The county at
torney says the auditors duty is similar to
that of a secretary TO the commissioners,
and that 1t is his duty to sign the bonds
when authorized by them. The matter will
doubtless be carried to the courts, as 1t is
understood that the treasurer will apply for
a mandate to compel the certifcation of
the bonds by the auditor. Fleschman the
Cleveland broker also declares his intention
of entering a suit for damages against
Auditor O2lesby in the United States courts
for refusing to certify the bonds.

Greeted with hCheers-GeneralF Frey's
''60U' Arrive at st. Louis.

PITTSBURG, April 3.-The commonweal
army has arrived. 1t reached Lower Ale
gheny at L o'clock and was met with bands
by the Iron Molders Union, pattern max
ers, boiler makers, bakers and other labor
organizations and a large concourse Of peo-
pie. When the city line was reached a
halt was taken for lunch, and at 2:30
o'clock the army marched to Exposition
Park, where it went into camp for two
days. Long before the arrival Of the COM
monweal the streets In the vicinity of
WoOds's run were packed with people. Di-
rector Murphy, Of the department of Pub
lie safety, became alarmed, as the crowd
was wrought up to a high tension of ex-
citment and refused to allow the army TO
come into the city by that route. A change
was then made, and Coxey and his follow
ers marched in over the Brighton road.
Many houses were decorated, and along
the route to the park the army was greeted
with cheers by the crowd that thronged
the sidewalks. A feature Of the parade

When the army reached Exposition Park

1t was ascertalned that Coxey and
large number OF his followers have decided
to take a trip through the Southern States
soon his mission in Washington is
fulfilled. This decision was arrived at
day or SO ago, and the trip will be made
with a view of converting as many South
people possible to the ideas ad-
vanced by Coxey. AS at present figured out
by Coxey 1t will require the best part of
two months for his army to get to Wash
ington and see the Coxey measures acted
upon by Congress. Then the army, or as
much of 1t remains. will make a trip
through Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina, being joined in the latter
State by Frey's band of Coxeyites. The
scheme is to win the Southern farmers
over to the Coxey-Browne-S Smith ideas.
When this is completed the task of the
reformers will be fulfilled and the army will
