SAN Francisco, April 16-A special
meeting of the State Board of Health
this evening was attended by DR.. Orme,
Los Angeles; DIR. Ruggles, Stockton I;
Drs. Kerr and Herrick, of the State Med
ical Society, and others. DR. Orme called
the meeting to order. Several bills
passed by the last Legislature were dis
cussed, among the number being the act
providing for the appointment of health
officers by the Supervisors of various
counties. 1t was discovered that an error
had been made in printing the date
of the year in which the act
should go into effect, it appearing 1887
instead of 1885, 1t was thought by the
members that this error would prove
fatal, but it was determined that further
advice should be taken in the prem
ises. The Quarantine bill, restrict
ing the importation of diseased cattle,
was taken up and DIR. Bryceland, of
Shasta, stated that it had been passed by
the Senate and signed by the Governor,
but he'd never passed the Assembly. The |
Board decided that it had better |
let the bill rest. 1t was agreed |
that special meeting should be called |
in San Francisco on the outbreak of the |
Florida yellow fever. The Board then

"THE LINE OF DUTY. "
The Strict Meaning of the
Phrase Defined.
AN OFFICIAL DECISION MADE.
The Fraudulent PensiOn-Seekers Get
an Effective and Much-Needed
Setback.

! Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Assistant Sec
retary Bussey, to-day rendered three
pension decisions in which are involved
the important questions of when may,
and when may not, soldier be consid-
cred Sin the line of duty" The first
case was that w. H. Brokenshaw, late Of
Company "H," Twenty-ninth Michigan
Volunteers, who applied for an invalid
pension. The basis of his claim was an
injury to his left side incurred in service
at Jackson, Michigan, March, 1864, said
injury having been Caused by three SOL
diers jumping on him while he was climb
ing into his bunk, crushing the ribs of
his left side, just below the heart" The
claim was rejected by Commissioner
Black upon the ground that the claimant
WAS not injured in the line of duty. AS
sistant-Secretary Bussey, in his decision
to-day, overrules the former decision and
directs that Brockenshaw's name be
placed upon the pension rolls, rating his
disability in accordance with the law.
Another case is that @. HI. Sedgwick,
late midshipman of the United States
ship Santee and United States ship Con-
stitution. The claimant in this case was
injured by a kick from a comrade
ON board ship. He was, at the
time, to use his own language,
"twitting and teasing" his comrade,
who, becoming incensed thereat, admin
istered 10 him kick, from which his
disability resulted. The Assistant Sec
retary, in this case, sustains the former
decision, rejecting the application, and
adds: Here it is apparent that the
claimant not only contributed directly to |
produce the cause of his injury, but that |
he was engaged at tie time in manner |
that was manifestly in violation of the |
rules and regulations of the service, and |
subversive of discipline and good order, |
and the injury resulting from such con-
duct on his part was unquestionably not |
incurred in the line of duty"
The third case is that of Elizabeth |
Hull, widow of William Hull, soldier,
who died in the military prison at Nash |
Vile, of inflammation of the pleura, con-
tracted in prison. The soldier, il appears |
from the evidence, was arrested and
confined in prison for being |
absent from his company and regi-
ment without permission. Iu this |
case Buesey said "To entitle the widow
10 pension wound, injury or disease
which caused the husbands death must |
have been connected, as result, with the
by him with the require
ments of military duty. Such connection
between the fatal disease and the service
lid not exist in this CASE" The former
decision is adhered to.

Hon. Alex. H. H. Stuart.

Yesterday was bright and balmy spring
day. 1t numbered eighty-two years of life
of Mr.. Stuart, who was, as is his almost
daily custom, at the Office of the Valley
Mutual Life Association over which he has
SO long presided.
Sixty years of active life, participating in
the affairs of the nation, of his State, and
of this community, will fill biography
adorned in its completeness with glowing
tributes to American craftsmanship. His
name and his public services are especially
treasured in the hearts of the people of his
State, for which, in the gloomisss days OF
all its history, he labored increasingly, and
wearied not till the silver lining upon the
cloud dispelled sadness from every mind
The people will congratulate him on the
event which finds him still blessed with
strength and health and the wisdom and
eminent talents that enabled him TO attain
the highest aspirations of his life, and to
win the esteem, love, and affection of al
who know him.
