AN OLD STORY REVIVED.

est IN tue st, Paul KHurpnA,
CuicAao, May 24.-A bit OF last years
gossip, concerning prospective alliance
Of the Chicago & Northwestern and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul roads,
has been revived.
The story goes that the vanderbilts;
who now control the Northwestern, will
secure q controlling interest in the st.
Paul Company, and, without consoll.
dating the two systems, will SO unite
their power and influence as to make
them joint masters OF the Northwestern
situation with a common purpose to
serve.
Some significance may be attached to
the fact that this rumor appears 10 be
more widely credited now than when Il
first came to light. It Is said by Eastern
authorities TINT there Is good reason 10
expect important developments in re,
gard 10 this scheme at the annual meet.

Northwestern systems operated much in

Conspiracy in san EFapcISco.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The stories
OF the Nihilist conspiracy in connection
with the burniugof the Russian church,
in this city, rest entirely on the asser'
tions OF one Gopcheirtch, who for years
has haunted the newspaper Offices with
stories rejecting on the priests and
members OF the Russian religious com
munity here.
The charges that Father Kedrolevusky
and bishop Eester were murdered have
never been proved, and are not believed
by the leading men In their church.
Bishop Vladimir denies the existence
Of any Nihilist conspiracy on this coast
He beljeyes that the church was set OF
fire for the purpose Of plumber, or b!
some person with private spite to graf
iiy. The fact that several valuable golt
and silver vessels are missing lends colo
to the robbery theory. Bishop Vladimi
states that thereis no truth In any OF tn
sensational statements printed In severa

PENSION DECISIONS.

tiOn-Importaut to claimants.

hOn-ImpOrtaut to Claimants.
WASHINGTON, D, O., May 24,-Asslst-
ant Secretary Bussey, has rendered q
decision in the pension claim OF William
Powell, late of Company D, Forty.
seventy Pennsylvania volunteers. The
claimant, in his application, alleges that
on January 0, 1865, while in camp at
Cadwallader, Philadelphia, Pa, waiting
10 be mustered out and paid, he was
walking in the barracks, when q Cor.
poral OF his company threw at him q
ave gallon demijOhn which struck him
on the left leg under the knee, inhiCting
severe wound, from which he has
never recovered. The CLAIM was origl-
nally rejected on the grounds that the
injury was received after the appll-
cant's discharge from the SER
vice, and that II in service the injury
had no connection with his military
duty and hence was not pensionRble,
From this latter view the Assistant
Secretary dissents, and directs that II
upon further examination 1t is found
that the claimants actual separation
from the service did not occur until after
he incurred the disability, though his
discharge was dated some two weeks
previous thereto, a pension be given
him. Secretary Bussey also rendered a
favorable decision in the cases OF Sarah
Tuttle, widow OF Josiah Tuttle, late Of
Company 3, Sixty.lourth Ohio Volun.
teers, and John Cox, late Of Company 9,
Fitty'ninth Ohio Volunteers, In the
former case the question involved was
