Washington Veteran Dies.
Hard Night Without Tents.

Despite the strenuous efforts of the reg
ular army to do impossible Things. thous-
ands of veterans spent the night on Get
tysburg field with nothing between them
and the stars but their clothes and their
courage and nothing between them and
the hard earth but little more of the
same thing.
and 1t was not the fault of the veterans.
The regulars poured the thousands into
Gettysburg the best they could, but train
after train that was looked for early
came crawling in near midnight and until
long after daybreak, Major Normoyle of
the quartermaster's department, u. :. A.,
and the little force of army officers CO.
operating with him toiled all night spar
ing no effort to meet the situation. Major
Normoyle declared. today that probably
$500 veterans will be on the field by
night, five thousand more than had been
looked for in the widest dreams of the
estimaters Although half that number
would fill the camp comfortably. Major
Normoyle said he would see that every
one is taken care of; that nobody goes
hungry and that there were blankets and
tents for all. Many of the men of '63
spent the night round the fires, talking
and trying to forget that their bones
were not so young as they used to be and
that the ground was much harder than
it was so years ago.

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

The members of the American Com
mission on agricultural organization,
cooperation and rural credits have
organized themselves into five groups
which will visit IS districts of France
to study the various methods in op-
Grafton among the farmers. Most OF
them agree that as far as they have
been able to observe farming is prob
ably carried to a higher condition of
development in France than in any
other country. The farmers are as
sisted in this by the prevailing sys-
TENS of low priced credit available
to them. The commissioners are to
re-assemble in Paris. on July 4.
Two new laws regulating the em-
ployment of women and children went
into effect. Monday, in Rhode Island.
Beginning Monday, no child under IA
years Will be allowed to work in any
factory, mill or business establish
ment,. and every child between the
ages OF IA and 16 years must pass a
physical examination before being al
lowed employment. The other new
statute restricts the working hours
of women and children under 16 years
to 81 hours week, and not more
than 10 hours in any one day. Be
cause of this law there has been a
re-arrangement of working hours in
many of the factories and mills of the
state and department stores which re
main open. Saturday night, will have
to close earlier than usual.

Causes Discussion.

Bath, Me, July although news
paper reports state. that Bart II.
Goughlin, for many years special
deputy collector of customs in the
Bath Office, is to be in charge of the
local office which is now a SUPPORT of
the Portland district. Mr.. Coughlin has
not yet received his commission and
the office is virtually without a head
to enter vessels arriving from a for
eign port.
The steam tug Pejepscot with a
barge loaded with pulp wood is ex-
pected to arrive anytime now from
New Brunswick and there is some
question as to who will have the au-
thority to enter the. craft and receive
its papers.
Collector of Customs Elwell S.
Crosby retired from Office, Monday
night, and the term of Mr.. Coughlin
as special deputy automatically ex-
pired too. Consequently the Office is
without a local head. Any question
of authority, however, could be set
tied by Willis T. Emmons of Port
land. collector of the newly enlarged
Portland district.

Only by miracle did Mr.. and Mrs.
Cobb escape death. Mr.. Cobb was stand

rock weighing more than two pounds
smashed through and passed within
few inches of his head.
A moment later another rock, nearly
as large came through the other window
and barely missed Mrs. Cobb. who was
too frightened to move to a place of
safety.
Inside, the rooms were compete

There were 10 deep holes in the

A perfect cloud of rock and mis-

pounds fell in great numbers as far
