CoxEY's ARMY CHANGES ITS ROUTE.
HAGERsTowN, ND, April 22.--The
most Important development of the day
was the proposed change of the route
AS originally laid out, it carried the
army from Frederick to Rockville by
way OF Rldgevllle, 90 miles longer than
by the old national pike direct from
Frederick to Rockville. The change is
made to shorten this march so as to
make up for tho delay caused by the
stop over in Hagerstown. As now ar
ranged, tho stops will be as follows {:
Booneboro, April 23d; Frederick, gath;
urbana, 25th; Clarksburg, Goth; Gathers
burg, 9th; Rockville, 2Sth; leaving
three days to cover the IL miles inter.
yening between Rockville and the steps
Of the Capitol.
THE ARMY AT HAGERsTowN.
HAGERsTowN, Nd, April 23.-'rhe
commonweal army has been three days
in Hagerstown, and even after the time
fnr tnrtInnr la1 haar eaf
hour late In getting off. Boonsboro,
eight miles away, was to be the first
stopping place and tho last town before
the passage of the Blue Ridge at
Turner's Gap.
The men were in first rate shape, but
the food supply was very low. There
had been $50 taken In at the gate the
day before. A foraging expedition of
the marshals through town before the
start did not net much more. q
Marshal Brown ordered halt before
the court house and called for three
cheers for "Mayor Keedy, the chief OF
police and the people of Hagerstown,
especially the ladies'"
The cheers were given and then a
groan for General II. Kyd Douglass,
one of the citizens who had suggested
| that the commonwealers ought to be
put to work on the road breaking stone.
BooNEsDoRo, Nd, April 24.-Three
hundred men, the greatest number since
the army left Massillon accompanied
the commonweal on its march out of
Boonesboro, The party had camped
within sight OF the battle-ground of
South Mountain, and several of the men
had dug up bullets on the field where
camp was pitched.
The march carried the party over an
other part of the battle ground and
through Turner's Gap. One of the
conspicuous points on the line was
Washington's monument, a rough,
white stone structure, built by the
Masons on the summit of the mountain.
Ii was saluted with three cheers by the
army.
Another object of interest which,
however, was not cheered, was the
handsome summer home of Mrs. Made
line V. Dahlgren, the talented Washing.
ton authoress whose mountain eyrie is
perched just on the county line that
runs over the mountain. The march to
Frederick is 16 miles and the men will
have q hard pull to make it in one day.
ESCORTED by DEPUTY sHERIFFs.
MIDDLETowN, ND, April 24.-The
escort of deputy sheriffs promised by
the Frederick county authorities met the
commonweal at Bolivar Heights, this
morning, just after passing through
Turner's Gap. The 80 deputies under
Sheriff Zimmerman were well armed
and mounted and made 2 formidable
array. The army marched by in silence,
Browne being at the rear of the column.
The escort will accompany the army to
the county line. The people declare it
is needless expense. but Mayor Flem-
ing Of Frederick is so bitter against the
| army and declares that he will see them
safely out OF the county if it costs
| $1,000, which is about what the expense
of the escort will be.
GREAT DEMONSTRATION.
OMAHA, NEB., April 20.-General KEEL
| ly's industrial army did not leave their
| Iowa camp to-day; but it was not be-
cause there was not sufficient force
offered by Omaha Knights of Labor
and their sympathizers. Ten thousand
strong they marched to his support, but
to no avail.
There were riotous scenes in Omaha
and Council Bluffs to-day, however, as
a result of the situation. After all the
disturbance of the day massmeeting
tonight has probably settled the matter
for the time at least. Fifteen thousand
! people met at Jefferson Square. After
some alarming demonstrations com.
Emittee Of fifty was appointed to confer
with the Central Labor Union.
REFUSED THE STOLEN TRAIN.
The chairman of the committee read a
note from General Kelly, received at
| o'clock, in which he declined to use a
train for his army secured by force. He
declared that the army must be moved
by lawful means or not at all.
BALKED FOR WANT OF LEADERS.
According TO the story of the men,
they had originally intended to block
the bridge and seize the first train that
came across. Then they got hold of this
engine and decided tc run through to
South Omaha or Albright, where they
hoped to get train. None of them
seemed disposed to take Union Pacific
property otherwise than as a means of
| getting within reach of that of the Rock
Island. After the engine had pulled on
to the branch it was found that her sup
ply of coal was also running short.
The party seemed without any organi-
cation or leader, and as some wanted
one thing and others another, they
ended by doing nothing. Captain
Mostyn made vain attsmpt to find any
one who knew what the men wanted to
do, but met so many contrary opinions
that he gave up the job in disgust.
After waiting some time for the men to
make a move, he ordered them to get
