The recent statement in The Star that
Carl Browne proposed to make his head
quarters at Bladensburg this winter along
with a number of members of the defunct
commonweal army. has caused consider
able talk among the people Of this neigh
borhood, and the anxiety which was felt
prior to the coming of the army to this To-
cality last spring has again taken hold of
them. The citizens do not cherish the idea
of a repetition of the scenes which formed
part of the first coming of this horde of
idlers. The idea is none the less favored
by the authorities of Bladensburg and Hy-
attsville, and IL Is understood that the
marshal will have some difficulty in again
establishing himself in this vicinity. Carl
Browne was in Bladensburg a few days
since to see IL he could not obtain employ
ment for some of his men, who are located
at Takoma and other places neaf by, but
was told that there was no work for them.
The few Coxeyites who have been located
at Lilly Park ever since last summer are
now in a deplorable condition, and 1t is
said that certain parties have been solicit
ing food and clothes for them.
