week. May q terrific storm visited Lancas-

ties, many Of the stones being as large as hick-
DRY nuts. An express train on the Pennsylva-

remove from the tracks trees and telegraph
poles, which had been blown down. Snow fell
TO the depth Of several inches in the CatskiIl
Mountains, N. Y. and also in the northern part
Of Vermont. Enormous quantities Of rain fell
in various sections, causing great floods, which
did serious damage TO bridges, railroad tracks,
and to growing crops, particularly in the South.

THE vEToES.
Very Lame Lrrumsnt.

To THE EDITOR: President Cleveland vetoes
the pension bill of Capt. David W. Hamilton,
and attempts to make light Of this soldiers
service in the following form: 1t will be seen
that the claimants term Of service was Hber-
ally interspersed with sick leave detached
service, designations, and membership in the
Invalid Corps"
This is calculated to mislead, and the plausi-
BILE way OF stating the service Of the soldier
savors Of ignorance Of soldiers duties and
the necessary service Of the Invalid Corps,
which preeluded the necessity Of calling upon
able bodied men for duty that could be per-
formed by those disabled for field service.
From the statement Of President Cleveland
IL will be noticed that this soldier was in service
over two years before he was transferred to the
Invalid Corps and in that time was sick but
six months. This is no more, probably, than
the average sickness of a soldier in the field,
resulting from exposure. There was no inter
spersiOn Of designations, as the only one of this
character was incident 10 a transfer to the In
valid Corps where the service was more in ac-
cordance with the ability Of disabled soldier.
The last resignation, on account Of final dis
charge, necessarily incident to the honorable
service Of every soldier and officer, took place
after three years service, which includes the
six months sickness referred to-
AS to the detached service of the soldier,
without a knowledge Of what it involved in
this case, il may be unknown 10 many that this
service often is more hazardous duty and re-
quires more sacrifice and exposure than ordi-
nary duties with the soldiers command.
On the whole this appears as an attempt 10
belittle the service Of soldiers who have served
faithfully, aud is in keeping with the general
feeling of class Of statesmen who should be
relegated to the shades.-COMRADE, Washing
