rennsyivania Soldiers.
WASHINGTON. March 3.-Assistant
Secretary Busscy yesterday made an
important decision in the pension case
OF Rudolph II. Manlcy. Of Co. L.. Forty
seventh Pennsylvania volunteer militia.
On June Is, lsc3. President Lincoln
issued his proclamation calling upon
the executive Of the state Of Pcnnsyl-
vnnia for $4,000 volunteers to serve for
the period OF six months, unless
sooner discharged. In compliance with
this order the Forty-sevcnth regiment
was raised and mustered into the state
service for ninety days instead OF for
six months. as designated in the call.
The records of the war department show
that Manley was mustered in on the
9Th Of June. 1868. and was mustered
out with his company on August Is.
1868. During this service. the evidence
on file shows, the soldier suffered
sunstrokc, from which he has never
recovered. Upon his application he
was granted a pension Of S,4 month.
but on June Is. 1891. his name was
dropped from the pension roll upon the
ground that il had been ascertaincd
that the regiment 10 which he belonged
was not in the United states service.
but in the service Of the state OF Penn
sylvania-
This is the position taken by the
judge advocate general Of the army in

vision OF section 4Gg3 Of tile Revised
Statutes. which includes among those
entitled 70 the benefits o. pension s'any
officer of the army. including regulars,
volunteers and militia. or any officer in
the army or marine corps. or any en-
listed man, however. employed in the
military or naval service Of the United
States Of IN It's marine corps. whether
regularly mustered or not. disabled by
reason OF any wound or injury received
or disease contracted while in the SER
vice q the United States while in the

The assistant secretary directs that
Mnnlcv's name be restored 10 the pen
sion roll. This decision restores 10 a
pensionablc status the 80. 600 soldiers
who served in the Pennsylvania militia
about the time OF Lees invasion OF that

Freight for B0die.

An eighteen animal team with a
load Of freight for Boone, the Bodie
merchant, passed through here last
Wednesday. This is the second
trip the team has made between
Carson and Bodie by this route in
the past month. The team comes
this way to avoid The snow and
mud on the Bodie and Carson road
at this season of the year. At
Fletcher's the freight has to be
transferred to sleighs and carried
the balance of the distance to
Bodie that way, as the snow has
not yet disappeared from the mount
aims in that vicinity. The roads
on this route are now very soft, and
the team got stuck the other side
of New Jerusalem Wednesday, but
got out all right afer a while, 1t
makes person think of old times
to see these big teams on the road.

that the Carson & Colorado Rail-

been made to extend the road on
south to Mojave to connect with the
Southern Pacific. The distance
the road will yet have to be builtis
about 140 miles. 1t is understood
that supplies have been purchased
and that work will be commenced
very soon. This move is probably
made to checkmate the Denver &
Rio Grande in that direction. 1t
will be a good thinS for the south
