J,alnut lt was received with the same cordial welcome which has characterized t&e receptions since it left Council Bluffs, ine town officials bade Kelly welcome, and ine townspeople furnished plenty of proVisions. The stop here was brief, kind the army was &xn on its way for Atlantic. Another mutiny broke out to-day. Col. fcpead. whos popularity with the men is as great as that of the commander, positively refused to obey orders on to-day's march, and It was apparent that any attempt to discipline him would cause a ppllt In the army. Spead has been Inclined to be unruly ever since Colonel Uakers discharge, and has secretly sympathized with the ex-co!onel. As the army neared aJ.nut eI1" ordered Spead to march Ti tile comrnl3ary wapons and look after them. Spcad promptly replied that he was doinff all he would, and would not follow the commander's Instructions. A decidedly hot exchange of compliments between the two men followed, and for a time a general row was Imminent, as the Sacramento men promptly took sides with Spead. while the California division favored Kelley. The latter finally turned away, with the remark that he would settle the matter later. When the men reached Walnut they were in a Btate of jreat excitement, and predicted ferious trouble before night. A short distance beyond Walnut the army halted to discuss the impending trouble. Spead attempted to make a speech, and immediately a wild scene ensued. Cries of "Spead" tnlngrled with shouts for Kelly. The men formal opposite bodies, and a fist fight eeemed Imminent. For fifteen or twenty minutes the scene continued. Spead continued trying to speak amid cheevs from his followers and howls and threats from Kelly's men. Stones were gathered and clubs were waved, while th crowds from .Walnut retired to a safe distance in expectation of a conflict. At last Kelly climbed upon a wagon and began, a speech. Men ran from all direction?, shouting 'Kelly." and soon over half the army had feathered about him. He talked quietly and dispassionately, attempting to quell the angry mob. He informed them that a court-martial had been held, and that the captains had by r. vote of 2 to 3 reduced Spead to the ranks. "We are going on to Washington," he shouted, "and I believe we will go togjther." The men cheered vcclferou!y, and Kelly ordered them to dinner. This quieted them down, and the light was for a time at least averted. The entire troubls Is the result of Jealousy be

tween the San Francisco and Sacramento I divisions, to the latter of which Spead belongs. The mob quieted down during the afternoon, but many of. the Sacramento Ieopl announced their intention to spilt at Atlantic and follow Spead to Washington. Two Genernln nml Tito Division. ATLANTIC. Ia,, April 24. Kelly's industrial army reached Atlantic at 6 o'clock tonight with Colonel Speed and his followers In the ranks. The day has been an eventful one. Speed having been deposed and a separation of the Sacramento and San Francisco divisions having been effected during the march with a narrowly averted Internal war. Speed had refused to obey orders Issued by Kelly and was promptly Court-martialed and reduced to the ranks. Tlie Sacramento division at. once declared that It" would desert Kelly and follow Speed and the temporary camp Just east of Butler was soon a scene of wild disorder. About three hundred declared for Speed, and the men argued their differences with much profanity and a liberal show of clubs and stones. A fight was averted, however, by Kelly's coolness. Ilefore they reached Atlantic the Sacramento division elected Speed general, and to-night the men declare they will folow no one but Speed, and denounce Kelly as having appropriated to his own use th? army's funds, and aver that they will obey his orders no lot ge r. Speed has accepted the leadership, tut says he will march to Washington with Kelly, but not under his guidance. Henceforth, says Speed, there will be two armies, absolutely distinct, but sharing provisions and glory- Kelly hopes for a reconciliation, lie said to an Associated Press reporter to-night that he can and will account rmblicly for all funds he has received, and denied that ho has ever ben given more than $1.0)0. The two armies will remain In Atlantic until Thursday. IIAXDALIS A It MY. Seven Hundred Marchers' Enlist In the Chicago Commonweal. CHICAGO, April 2!. Randall's commonweal army ia having a boom. To-day recruits came in faster than they could be enlisted. Pages were filled with the namos. An important ruling haa been made by Chairman Vincent. He decided that no one unable to jpeak the English language would be enlisted among the soldiers of the Chicago army. Many applications were made by Polos and Swedes, but all who could not answer the questions put to them were rot enroled. At a meeting cf the commonweal committee this afternoon a communication was received from the owners of Kuhne's Park, a large pleasure resort on the outskirts of the city, offering the park for a camping nUce t.ntll the army i- ready to march. The offer was net accepted, as the army Is rot ready to camj out just at rresnt- The chalrmar cf tho finarce committee reported: "Ther ? r:VA 12rl 5" In the treasury when we ge.th" ?2Ta) promised to us."

Iioth the v.'omen and th cneral meer.Jnj cf the army passed resolutions con lemnlng the resolution parsed by the City Council calling on the chief cf pollc? to prevent Kelly's army from entering Chicago. On this matter Mnyor Hopkins said to-day: "The Council cannot give 5uch orders to the chLf of police. The resolution la but an erre3lon of opinion of the aldermen. I do not say that course should not be purFUrd or that It will not be followed. Neither r.o I sav It will. We will act In this Coxey matter promptly and as the exigencies of the cise require."

CHICAGO, April 21. A sensational story was printed here to-day to the effect that General Sullivan had made arrangements with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad for transporting 5.000 Iron molders In box cars to Washington, and that they proposed to leave the city on Tuesday. Baltimore & Ohio officials, both of the passenger and freight departments, deny that there is any truth in the story so far as their road is concerned. They said they had not even been consulted In regard to the matter. The city dlrectorv does not contain the name of K. J. Gray, an ice dealer who was said to have placed his building at the temporary service of the army. A Mysterious Hand. DELAWARE. O.. April 24. A crowd of Idle workmen, numbering thirty, assembled with walking clubs and banners in a cut on the Hocking Valles' road, north of this city, last night, and, by sending four of the number to this city for provisions, created a stir among the citizens.

Father Corbet t, of Palmyra, Neb., Disregards a Court Injunction. PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., April CJ.-Father Corbett, the Palmyra priest who has called down upon his head the enmity of Bishop Bonacum. has, by his actions of Sundaylast, rr.cst likely gotten himself Into serious trouble. Bishop Bonacum came to this city on Friday last, and appearing before District Judge Chapman had an injunction issued restraining Father Corbett from entering cr holding services In the Catholic churches at Douglass and Palmyra, Otoe county, and Elmwood, Cass county. This was to head off Father Corbett from holding services at Palmyra on Sunday, but notwithstanding the fact that he was served with a copy of Judge Chapman's onier by oneriff xuberle. ot Otoe county, trie priest took possession of the church and held the customary . services. This roused the ire of the Risnop, and to-day the latter came from Lincoln and entered a formal protest before the Judge. The upshot of the affair was that a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of Sheriff Eikenbary, calling for Father Corbet fs arrest. The sheriff left for Palmyra this afternoon, and by to-morrow the priest will have been brought to this city and given the opportunity to show cause why he should not be held for contempt in disobeying the court's injunction. Tne hearing promises to be one of unusual interest. END OF A CELEMJATED CASE. Florence ItaMwiii Finally Awarded the illy the .Millions "for Keeps.' SAN FRANCISCO. April 24.

COXEY BACK AGAIS

J I Once More in Command of the Massillon Army of Peace. He Stands on the Site of Old Barbara Fritcliie's Home and Receives a Welcome from His Soldiers. THE COMMONWEAL GROWING Three Hundred Go Into Camp at Frederick, Md., for Two Days. Preparations at Washington Additions to the Treasury Arsenal Progress of the 'ew Engenders. FREDERICK, Ml, April 21.-General Coxey returned to the commonweal arm to-day and was received with cheers on the . very spot where stood the house of old Barbara Frltchie. Mr. Coxey was well pleased with the result of his New York expedition. He said that the trunk line roads had not yet decided whether or not they would give reduced rates to Washington cn May 1. There was to be a special meeting of the trunk line managers today, he said, and their decision would be telegraphed him. In commenting on the manifesto of the District commissioners, Mr. Coxey said that it was Just what might be expected, under the circumstances. There was no need of any preparatory proclamations by the District authorities as to tht order they were going to preserve. And the wl.ole thing was the same sort of bluster that had been made by Mayor Fleming, of Frederick, when he declared that the commonweal should never parade in his town, and then allowed the procession directly under the noses of thirty deputy sheriff. While in New York Mr. Coxey said he had been offered the use. of Woodly Tark, outside of Washington, as a camp ground for the army. This is the most beautiful of the suburban real estate divisions about Washington, with good roads, wood, grass, and close to Rock creek, and an abundant water supply. The offer was made by Mrs. II. P. Waggaman, one of the owners of the tract, whom Mr. Coxey had met at Tattersalls during the horse sales. The offer has not yet been accepted, but a conference between; Browne and Coxey on the subject will be held to-morrow. It was decided at a late meeting between, Coxey and Browne this evening to hold the commonweal In camp at the baseball park, where they are very well provided for, and move for Hyattsvtlle on Thursday. The commonweal is growing, nearly three hundred men marching out of camp Daniel Boone this morning. They were Joined by stragglers along the roads, and In Frederick they found another party of thirty-five men under John "Windy" White, the old trumpeter, discharged at Williamsport last week. White was taken back Into the fold, and the recruits were accepted and enrolled. The party of thirty-three will be sent around by the old route of Bldgeville, Damascus and Laytonsville, which was to have been traveled by the main body In their march. To-night Browne and Coxey addressed a large meeting in Junior Hall, deferring to the wish of Mayor Fleming that they should not hold a meeting on the street, as he had relented concerning his determination not to allow the army to come Into town at all. While camp will not be moved to-morrow, its name will be changed, as It is the . custom every day. To-morrow it will be Camp Lafayette. AT THE CAPITAL. Two Afltntorn nt the Coxey Ilenilquarter Trennnry Precaution. WASHINGTON. April 24. Washington headquarters of the Commonweal of Christ in Rechablte Hall were resplendent to-day with the sheen of a gorgeous silken banner sent by the supporters In Kansas City. It Is fifteen feet long by seven feet wide, and the red and white stripes of the United States flag were lost in the center of an Immense blue field, with a dazzling sunburst surmounted by several gilt stars bearing the letters of the word "liberty." The two most conspicuous personages about the place were the two Whites W. D., of Commune C, Chicago, and R. J., of Commune F. Both of them are very intelligent men. W. B. White served under S3nator Manderson In the war, has been an employe of the Westlnghouse Electriclight Company and had three ribs and an arm broken In the fire at the cold-storage warehouse in the Chicago exposition grounds. R. J. White is proud of having been one of Mahone's men and bears the wounds of battle. Both will remain here to do missionary work until the army arrives. They denounce tha "unknown" for collecting money under false pretenses, and assert that Coxey's men are orderly, law-abiding citizens, from whom Washington has nothing to fear. They believe that Glen Echo will be selected: for the Washing-ton camping place of the army, a spot on the edge of the city, where there was an unsuccessful attempt by real-estate men two years ago to establish a Chautauqua assembly, and which had been offered to the army by Its proprietors. An appeal for contributions of money and provisions from the public has been Issued by the local committee, which Includes among it3 members the wife of Representative John Davis, of Kansas; ex-Representative Wise, of Arizona, and Rev. Alexander Ksnt, the pastor of the unattached church here. One of the most prominent labor leaders of the city, M. F. Hobbs, whose name ha been connected with Coxey'3 crusade, repudiates It. Ha says: "So far as I know, labor organizations Intend to give no support to this movement. As citizens they are Interested In seeing that Coxey's men are not dsprived of their rights, but if the visitors violate the laws they will receive no support from organized labor." The treasury ofnclals, while disclaiming any fears from the crowds incident to the coming of Coxey's army, have taken the precaution of adding fifty-five carbines and twenty revolvers to the treasury's supply of arms. The normal strength of the war force of the treasury is seventy men, divided Into two reliefs. In addition to two or three dozen revolvers, there has always been thirty-five carbines in the racks in the office of the captain of the watch, sufficient to supply each watchman on duty. It has been thought best, however, to Increase the supply, In view of the crowds of hanj.tron of Coxey's army that are expected to arrive In tha city during the coming week. The captain of the Treasury Guards, a local military organization, composed entirely of clerks in the Treasury department, to-iay informed tho captain of the watch force that in case of trouble at any hour, day or night, he could have eve-y man in hi3 command in the Treasury Kutlding inside of forty-five minutes. He stated that hU men were well drilled in the us? of arms, and hence could da much more efiiclrnt work than civilians. He as!ced to be notified if there was at any time apprehension cf trouble. Tim M3W KGLA.M)i:itS. (ienrrnl FifsfteraM Contingent I.lviiK on the Fat of the Land. PROVIDENCE. R. I.. April 21. When the New Kngland contingent of the Coxey army arrived at Providence this afternoon they were met at Randall square by Gen. Bloomer, editor of Justice, and escorted through the main streets to Olneyvllle square. Contrary to expectations, the halt

was made at City Hall. When Olneyvllle was reached the commonwealers were taken to Textile Hall, where they rested until 6 o'clock, when supper was served.

It was a repast such as had not been enJoyed since the army left Boston. There was corn beef, salmon and sardines, sausages, cheese, rice, white bread, crackers, coffee and all kinds of pie. After the supper General Fitzgerald acted as recruiting olficer and received the application Of near ly forty men. It was finally decided to reject all applications, as well as the fifteen received at 1'awtucket. During the evening a mass meeting was held. Speeches were made by M. I. Swift, George H. Borman, John H. Stevens, Hew H. N. Casson and Edward T. Byner. The army was housed In Germanla Hall, where It spent the night. The army expects to start on the tramp at 11 o'clock to-morrow. Breakfast will be served at Germanla Hall, after which the army will probably go to Scltuate. eight miles. The next important place Is Dayville, and then sixty miles of small towns to East Hartford. Every Providence policeman went on duty at 3 o'clock to-day, and will remain until the army leaves town In case of an emergency. Ifn June Deortel? BALTIMORE, April 21. After two daysrest In Baltimore's suburbs Jones's Pennsylvania brigade of Coxey's army resumed its march to-day. A dozen recruits joined the column at this point, swelling the number to thirty. Provisions sufficient to last several days were donated yesterday. A Grand Army soldier presented each member with a flag. General Jones, the head of the brigade, has not returned from Philadelphia, and it Is generally thought he has deserted. The army met with such a freezing reception at Elliott City to-night that it is likely to go to pieces before it reaches the main body. The men were not allowed to camp within the limits of the town and got to quarreling among themselves, so that Sheriff Gilbert E. Flower and State's attorney J. D. McGuIre threatened them with the lockup. This made matters worse and a small riot was imminent, when the sheriff and his deputies ordered them to quit the town. They could get nothing to eat and were forced to leave. Secretary and Treasurer Clinton was accused of spending the money obtained in Baltimore for beer and getting too drunk to attend to business. Commissary Samuel Jackson was made leader in his place, but it is doubtful if he will be able to keep the crowd together. Locked In Freljrut Car. NEW YORK, April 21. A contingent of Coxey's army met with disaster ea'ly this morning in Jersey City. More than one hundred tired looking men met in the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's freight shed at West Bnd and boarded a freight train that was to leave for the south at 6 a. m. The chief gate man, Lawrence, and his assistants waited until Coxey's followers had gone Into the freight cars and then they locked the doors. A locomotive was attached to the train and soon ha1 the carloads of tramps moving towards Jersey City. A wagtn load of police awaited them, but before reaching the city limits the tramps managed to break open the car doors and escaped. They scattered in all directions and not one was arrested. A General a ml Two Soldier. HARTFORD, Conn., April 24. Gen. Geo. H. Sweetland. commander in chief of the Bristol delegation of Coxey's army, left Bristol at noon to-day for Hartford en route for Washington with two followers. Sweetland made a speech in which he sacrificed United States Senator Hawley for his recent reply to Senator Allen, of Nebraska. The three men then hadl their photographs taken and Btarted for this city. Three Rn grtreu1 Hobo. NEW BEDFORD. Mass., April 24. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made here during the past few days to organize a local branch of Coxey's army. The only candidates for recruits were three ragged, tramps. MR.

Mr. Wilklns hastened to Mr. Hatton's room on the third floor. As he entered Mr. Hatton told him that he felt very strangely and that he feared a stroke of paralysis. A doctor was immediately called, but it was nearly half an hour before he arrived. In the meantime the sufferer had lost consciousness. The doctor said that a clot of blood had formed on the brain and that tha case was a verv serious one. An ambulance from the Emergency Hospital was called. Mr. Hatton was taken to his home on Hlllyer place. At 3 o'clock he had regained consciousness, lha physicians having been able to check the hemorrhage of the brain.

MISS BAILEY PROSTRATED Fainted During: the Hearing1 of Her Father's Murderers. Wabash Brakeman Saves a Child's Life Glass Manufacturers Meet Three Victims of a Boiler Pxplosion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., April 21. Edward J. Workman shot his wife and himself in this city, about 8 o'clock this morning, and, though both are alive, their recovery is hardly possible. Workman is the eldest son of Rev. T. C. Workman, and married Miss Lizzie Tracy two years ago. They had two children, but lost them a few months ago. Mrs. Workman's conduct had made her husband jealous. Two weeks ago Mrs. "Workman left her husband and took up her abode at the home of her brother-in-law, Isaac McClain. Workman went to Mcclain's house about 7 o'clock last night, and, on his knees, pleaded with his wife to return to him. She told him to go home and return this morning, when she would advise him whether or not Fhe ever intended to live with him again. About 12 o'clock last night he went again to McClaln's and his wife let him in. He went to her trunk and took $2.50, telling her he would see her when morning came. With this money he purchased a revolver this morning and started for McClaln's house. Mrs. Workman, ;it this time, was coming up town, and Wot.man concealed himself behind the Seventh-day Advent Church. When she came up opposite he ran out and began firing. The first shot took effect in her shoulder. She screamed and started to run Into a house. Just as she opened the gate the second shot struck her in the back of the head and Ehe fell. She was taken in the house, and Workman turned the weapon on himself. The bullet entered his head above the left eye. He fell in the gutter and lay there for a few seconds, then raised himself and grabbed the revolver, which had dropped at his side, and fired another bullet In the back of his head. He then lay unconscious until removed to Dr. Wrenntck's office. Drs. Scull and Ball extracted the bullet from the first wound Mrs. Workman received. It had entered the light shoulder blade, ranged down towards her arm, and was taken out near her elbow. The second shot, which entered the rear of her head, ranged downward and was not located. The woman was removed to her brother's. Her injuries are not necessarily fatal, and the attending physician says she may recover. After an examination, in which Dr. Wrennick was unable to extract the bullets from his head. Workman was taken to Jail. His condition is dangerous, and no one 13 allowed to see him. The occurrence Is a sad blow to the parents of Workman. His father has been an ordained Methodist preacher, and resided here for the past twenty years. Workman Is a brother of Arthur Workman, the young man who eloped with a young girl from Terre Haute two years ago, and was married by his father, the girl afterwards returning to her people. SHE FAIXTI2D IX COURT. ' ' Dnnglitcr of Murdered Lawyer Ilnlley Couldn't Stnnd the Trial Ordenl. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE. Ind., April 24. The preliminary trial to-day in which saloonist Frank Benadum, bartender Michael Gorman and William Watson are charged with the murder of lawyer Lemuel Bailey, at Denadum's saloon, Saturday evening, brought out a big crowd. The Police Court was too small to accommodate it, and the Circuit Court room, with a seating capacity of about one thousand, was used. In the crowd was a number of women, and during the evidence one of the murdered man's daughters fainted, and had to be carried from the room. The hearing revealed the fact that Watson will be released and Gorman and Bcnadum each will very likely be held. Gorman was the only one of the accused who took the stand. He stated that when Benadum returned from a drive on the evening of the trouble he was drunk, and, finding Bailey there, became angry. Benadum entered the wine room where Bailey waa lying, and soon a scuffle was heard. Benadum called him to come and h?lp carry' Bailey to the back yard. This was done, and Bailey died soon after he was carried out. Gorman says Benadum . had half of a baseball bat in his hand at the time. Gorman further said: "As Benadum entsred the saloon he asked me if Bailey had settled hl3 bar bill, and I told him he had not. Benadum then said: 'Well, I'll fix him now,' and went In the room." As it now stand, each of the men accuses the other. There Is no question of a murder. Watson Is a carpenter from Sidney, O.. and his good reputation at home will save him. Attorney Mason, of Sidney, Is acting as his counsel. Mrs. Bailey, wife of the murdered man. testilied that Benadum toM her that her husband had besn killed in a fight, and afterward denied to her that any fight had occurred. Drs. Green, Mann, Jackson. Trent and Bowers nil testlrted that the man was ci-oked to death. Gorman is an iron worker, and came from Greencastle to Munei?. He Is? known in Terre Haute also. The statement In an evening paper to the effect that an attempt was madlast night to organize a lynching bee and take sjm of the accused out of Jail at an early hour this morning is regarded as a huge joke.
