ADDISON, Pa, April l3AA night of un-
rest was passed by the army Of the COM
monweal here in this land Of moonshins
whisky and cliff dwellers. The common
wealers are regarded as freaks and the in
habitants celebrated their advent by get
ting gloriously drunk. At midnight there
was scarcely a sober inhabitant in the
town, and for miles around the natives
came TO join in the general jubilee. This
aggregation, loaded" internally and exter-
nally with the colorless drink Of the moon
shine. made for the camp of the army and
the situation began to assume serious
aspect. Lines of sentinels were thrown
around the tents and IL was only by the
aid of the sheriff and his posse that trouble
was averted. A few fights took place, but
nothing OF a very alarming nature oc-
CURED. After am. the noise and tumbling
subsided and the army was left in peace.
Reveille sounded at 8 o'clock, and at q
repast of hard tack and coffee was served
The army left here at O'Clock for Grants
Vile, Nd, where Camp L. s. Grant will be
pitched. The road from here is wretched.

ADDISON. April l3.-The men In the army
Of commonweal We're early astir and Joy
ously basked in the sun. that for the second
time in a week arose clear and warn. They
had cozy nook in which to sleep in Au-
gustine's large barn.
The men were not eratified at the pros-
poets when the start was made. They
have already become sickened with the
/ trip, and many would abandon the COM
monweal did they not stand In deadly
J fear Of the mountaineers and their Win
chesters. While Gen. Coxey has very sud-
dealy and quietly disappeared, IL is not
thought that he has abandoned his cause.
1t is announced that his leaving was for
the purpose OF looking after supplies, al
| though Marshal Browne in a general order
announces that they are already sufficient
| to feed the men to the Potomac 1t Is no
secret that there has been a decided clash
of authority between Coxey, Browne and
Smith, who is termed the unknown. The
latter two thoroughly detest each other.
and II Is not infreQuent that they have a
dispute along the line of march Unless
these differences are adjusted. serious trou-
BILE must re suit, for the men are discon tent
ed and may raid the commissary wagons.
Maryland People Worried.
BALTIMORE, April ia special to the
Sun from Frederick, Nd, says:
The people of Frederick are becoming very
much exercised over the statement made by
the half breed Indian. Honore J. Jaxon,
who, it is said. is the advance agent Of
| Coxey's army of the commonweal, who
passed through Frederick for Washington
I a day or two ago. Jaxon said that the
/ army would pass through Frederick the I'D
or I'D of this month. This is not pleasant
news to hundreds of poor people Of this sec
ton, who have been on short rations all the
1 winter for want Of sufficient employment
to better provide for themselves. Many per-
! sons speaking upon the subject, say the
| governor OF Maryland ought to take a hand
In the matter, and prevent this infux OF un-
desirable men into the state.
| If the CoXeyites ever reach Washington,
Maryland will not only suffer the passage
through ii of the army, but will be the dis
banding place for all kinds of men. cob
lectei from all sections of the country. The
probability of the army invading Maryland.
I unless something is done TO deter It. is
made more certain by the non-action Of the
! governors of other states, who seem TO act
wisely in not only expediting the army
through their states, but In giving them al
I the recruits possible.
