Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-04-30

men pretty thoroughly quelled. me ga,e receipts for the day are said to have been but S10.
 General Coxey came into the city at night and registered at one of the best ho- tels. He declares that his army will march to the capitol Tuesday noon, hold its great mass meeting On the steps to demand the passage of his bills and then return to camp to wait until they become law.
 The start of the army from Rockville on the final stage of its march was delayed by the need of provision for seven sick members of the army. The only provision possible was attendance in the almshouse of Montgomery county, of which Rock vile is the county seat.
 When it was learned by the sick men that they must be cared for at the poor house, six of them refused to go there, but would march the last half mile with the ranks if they might ride on the wagons up to that point. This they did, but the seventh man was so crippled by rheuma- tism resulting from exposure that he could exercise no option as to his course.
 The column was organized the same as when entering Rockville, save that the Christopher Columbus Jones contingent from Philadelphia marched at the end of the line.
 Mr. Jones wore a silk hat. Part of the way he footed it in the mud with the oth- CTS, but on the last stretch he rode COXcy s Ham bletonian trOtter bareback This was very trying for AIr. Jones' and a saddle was procured for his use while riding into Washington.
 Last Stage of the March. The way out from Rockville to the main pike, a distance of 4I5 miles, lay along a back road, where the mud was deep and the brooks too wide to ford at jump. At Mitchell's crossroads, about seven miles from the city, the army was met by 200 wheelmen who had come out from Wash ington to greet Coxey as champion of good roads. They lined up on one side of the pike road and gave CoXey three lusty cheers and loud yells for good roads. This slogan gave CoXey his cue, and standing in his phaeton he Spoke for five minutes upon the need of good highways and what he deemed the certainty that would follow the passage of his good roads and nonin- terest bearing bond bills. The wheelmeG cheered the cheftain of the wealers as he sat down. Then they cheered Carl Browne, and the march was resumed with d stream of flashing wheels flowing along on either side of the column.
 Soon men on horseback and men and women in plain and in handsome turnouts
 
 city in the bright morning to see the Cox eyites march in. The sightseers increased with almost every rod as the top was nearcd until at the tollgate near the Dis trict line the curious crowds by far out numbered the tramps' army. The resi- dents were enjoying a spectacular enter tainment, with Carl Browne and Chief Coxey in the leading parts.
 At the District of Columbia boundary line the army was halted to give cheers for the federal power. Just as the army nov ed on after this q dozen men were discov- cred over the fence in an open lot drawn up in line. It was The CnknOwn's" con- tingent of secedcgs, who had trampcd over from Rockville early, and at their head was the man BiZarro if that be The Un- knOwn's' name.
 "Men of The Unknown contingent of the commonweal. give three cheers for the main body of the commonweal army, for Brother CoXey. for Brother Browne and the whole business!" he yelled. And they cheered and stayed where they were.
 Don't pay any attention to them,' com manded Carl Browne as he rode forward. And they did not.
 No other incident save constantly in- creasing crowds marked the progress and arrival at the camp on the Brightwood park racing grounds. The army disap- peared within their wall tent, and up went this placarG:
 No admission charged to these grounds, but all persons entering here expected 10 con- tribute at least p cents or as much as they can afford for the good of the cause. All penniless admitted free. CARL BROWNE.
