Statement Of a Pawtucket

a Well-KnOWn Man Whose Words
Carry Weight.
From the Euensng Times, Pa,ytucaet, r. I.

The average veteran, as is well
known, Is wont to glow over war mem
cries and he endeavors. In his ardor, to
doubly impress his hearers with thrill
ing tales of the Rebellion. This is as
reasonable as 1t Is natural, and none
pul ne who has passed through shot
and shell realizes how narrow his es
cape from the very jaws Of death, for
in the strife and smoke of battle little
recks the soldier whether the kissing
bullet sings his sudden requiem or the
chords Of life are severed by the sharp
steel. He. therefore. who has passed
with safety and honor through such
stirring scenes can rightly rejoice at
his record, while he may pardonab bly,
point to the fact Of having proffered his
life blood to preserve the integrity and
unity OF one of the noblest nations up
on earth.

Latest Date Set For the Adjournme MT of
Congress-Portland Claims Thrown Out
of General Deficiency Bill.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Washington, June 4.-The general de-
fioiency bill was finally agreed to by the
House and Senate this afternoon. The
claim of the Portland Company for $50, :
coo, of w. P. Grant of Gardiner, for $40, :
600, Of the Richmond Locomotive works
and other claims of this kind, were
thrown out of the conference at the last
moment. The Frenoh spoliation claims
and the Southern ar.claims of course
stay in the bill, as they were voted in by
the House early in the consideration of
the bill, but it is regarded as almost GER
ttain that the Presidentswill veto the bill,
because of these claims.
In such an event the House will prob
ably pass an unobjectionable deficiency
bill under suspension Of the rules. If
the Senate can then act promptly ad-
journment will not be much delayed.
1t Is thought that the day Of adjournment
will be about Wednesday of next week.

ferred. There were but two votes in

They found Mr.. Corbin conscious, but
terribly wounded. His nephew and the
doctor were also conscious. The coach
man was unconscious and apparently
hurt the worst. They were carried to the
house and two doctors from the village
and two from Claremont sent for. Mr..
Corbin received compound fracture of
the right leg, above and below the knee,
fearful scalp wound over four inches
long on the forehead. cut through to the
