PENSION RULINGS.
Three Decisions of Importance to Old Sol
dlers.

Three Decisions of Importance to Old Sol
dlers.
Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered
three pension decisions in which is in
volved the important question OF when may
and when may not soldier be considered
"ln the line OF duty" they are as follows:
The first case is that of w. II. Brokenshaw,
who was injured at Jackson, Mich, In 1865, by
three fellow-soldiers jumping ON HIM while he
Black rejected the claim on the ground that the
injury was not received In the Hne OF duty
The Assistant Secretary overrules this decision
holding that the claimant was in his proper
place, ready to perform such duly as he might
be called upon to do, and the injury alleged
as the ground of pension happened to
him without any fault or neglect on his part.
Another case il that of G. H. Sedgwick, late mid
shipman in the navy, who wos injured by kick
from a comrade whom he was Inviting and
teasing" The assistant secretary sustains the
former decision rejecting the application on the
ground that the claimant contributed directly
to produce the cause OF his injury, and was at
the time engaged in q manner manifestly IN
violation of the rules OF the service. The
third case is that of Elizabeth Hull,
a military prison at Nashville, Tenn, OF IN
hammation OF the pleura contracted In the
prison. The soldier, 1t appears from the evil
dence, was arrested and confined In the prison
for being absent from his company and regi-
ment Without permission. In this case Mr..
Bussey says: 40 entitle widow to pension,
the wound, tho injury, or the disease which
caused the husbands death must have been
connected, as a result, with the compliance by
him with the requirements OF military duty.
Such connection between the fatal disease and
the service did not exist in this case The for
decision Is adhered to-

Of the big shipping points, notably western New
York, n section that flood every market in
the country when full crop is gathered. The
straw berry crop Is gathered up to the average
yet much larger than that of 1888, which was
the lightest in many years. The pear crop will
average light through its great enemy,
the Sblight." The grape crop in the
West and South has been favored with
such mild winter that but little Injury ha ,
been inflicted. Nearly double the yield OF last
year is looked for. In Ohio and the great grape
growing regions in New York and Pennsylvania
a good crop is anticipated. The general crop OK
other small fruits will not be large, being at
many points rather neglected The outlook for
vegetables is good In all portions OF the country
and the yield promises TO be large.
