THEY TAKE WATER.

Cox»y and His Followers Traveling Now on Canal Boats. Green Springs, W. Va., April 19. Coxey’s army has left the warpath for the towpath. It left Cumberland for Williamsport Tuesday morning, a journey of 84 miles, bj r canal. Two boats are required to carry the army and its sympathizers. There are now 390 men in the army. Council Bluffs, la., April 18,—Kelly’s army has been duped by the state authorities. Gen. Kelly was given to understand that a special train would pick him up at the Chautauqua grounds, when, in fact, there was no such intention upon the part of the authorities or the railroads or anyone else. A special train containing four companies of state troops was sent out at midnight, and at once pickets were put out by CoL Mount and the entire camp was placed under martial law. After a disheartening day Gen. Kelly returned from Omaha Tuesday night with the information that Gilbert M. Hitchcock, of the World-Herald, and Edward Rosewater, of the Bee, had guaranteed him transportation east by way of Kansas City if he could not make arrangements by a more direct route. The army is still encamped at the Chautauqua grounds in a heavy rain, which lasted all night, and without shelter of any kind. Four of the men are sick with a high fever and they, like 'the others, are compelled to lie on the ground in their rain-soaked blankets. The rain came down in torrents at times and the men looked in vain for shelter. This was extremely scarce. The militia occupied the only buildings in the vicinity aud would not al'nw a Kellyite to enter.

The Bhatgur reservoir, a great artificial lake in India, said to hold about 4,641,000,000 cubic feet of water, acts as a feeder to the Nira canal. It is formed by a masonry dam one hundred and three feet high and three thousand and twenty feet long. Black lists of tardy debtors are circulated in Vienna, for the benefit of landlords and other persons likely to be victimized by persons who live beyond their means.
