sPRYo VALLEY, ILLs., April 26.-THiu
afternoon o new induutrial army started
on tho march and before it reaches ita
destination tho outlook is that it will be
larger than all tho Commonweal and
indus.rials Of Coxey and Kelly put to.
cethcr. A wing Of an army OF minera
left this city this afternoon for Toluca,
Charles J. Devlin's new mining town,

inander in chief OF tho forces. He is-
sued m order to the effect that no ons
would be allowed to carry arms. The

deputies, Is at Toluca, awaiting the

Intense excitement prevails aud
strong fears arc expressed that con-
tlict between tho strikers and men, who
refuse to leave their work, will result in
riot and bloodshod. The center Of the
conflict will be Toluca where the minera
refuse to quit their work. A commit
tee wont from LaSalle to persuade them
to join tho strikers, but it returned with
report that the men in the mines
thore absolutely refused to lay down
their tools, or to help tho strikers in

Peru, 0glcsbly, Spring Valley, Ladd and
Laceyville should organize and march
IN a body to Toluca and compel the
men ut work there to desist. Tho mine

The courts have frequently decided that
when one person or firm shall have

person or corporation can lawfully use
that name for business purposes
Where does the Post-Ohlce Department
find authority In law for aiding another
community OF people TO disturb the busl-
ness Of the patrons Of the original Apo
mattox post-ofiise? In what possible re-
suect can the change reduce the NAL
troubles when the mails for both Offices
are still put of at AppomattoX station
and distributed In the same manner as
heretofore?
The post-oflices at many cOurt-houses
are not only disslmlar TO tho names or
