IMPORTANT PENSION RULING
1t Reverses a Decision Under Which So

1t Reverses a Decision Under Which So
100000 Has Been raid to Claimants.
1t has been discovered that one of the
most important rulings ever made in
the pension office has remained I'M
promulgated, SO far as the public
knows, for more than five months. 1t
is learned that Sept. 90 last Assistant
Secretary Bussey made a pension de-
cision which radically changed the prac-
tice of the department as TO the dispo-
sition of accrued pensions in certain
cases and established a new and i'm
portant rule as to reimbursement of
expenses, last sickness, and burial"
under Sec. AIS, Revised Statutes.
The Assistant Secretary holds that
accrued pensions can lie fully
paid to grandchil lren, but as to
reimbursement for last sickness and
burial, the Assistant Secretary con-
cludes that while only the widow or
minor child of the deceased soldier ear
take the accrued pension, the only per-
son for whom the expenses of the last
sickness and burial can be allowed is
the soldier himself. From the date and
under the authority of an opinion by
Solicitor General Phillips rendered
Aug. 10, 1876, until now, last sickness
and burial expenses have been allowed
in all cases where the deceased was an
impecunious Eensioner or entitled to a
pension. whether soldier, minor chill
dren. grandchildren, or dependent par
ents. 1t is stated that fully $4,000. 900
has been wrongfully paid to claimants
under the Phillips opinion as reim-
bursements for last sickness and burial
expenses, for which Sec. AIS, Revised

wiped OF the face of the earth, every
building in the place being totally
demolished. So far as is known, twenty
five people were killed outright and about
sixty injured. Thu cyclone reached
Kelley about $40 o'clock in the after
noon. spreading havoc in every direction.
Long before the wind struck the town
a strange atmospheric condition was
noticed. The air grew very dark
and then 4 moaning sound was heard
and finally gleenish- colored cloud was
west. The Path OF the storm was about
half a mile wide and everything within It's
course was pickcl up like straw and
dashed TO pieces. Large houses were
crushed like cggshcllI. while giant forest
trees were uprooted and tho trunks picked
up by the. whirling wind and carried for
miles The lublic school building as the
first to go down before the fury OF the
storm. The pupils had cen dismissed but
Il few minutes before and most of them had
left the building, which fact prevented an
appalling loss OF life. Several OF tho
children were eau ht In the ruins, how
ever. AMI crushed TO death. row Of
frame buildings next fell prey TO the
cyclones fuzzy. and with Il loud crash and
q dcafening roar they were literally torn
to kindling wood and the fragments SC 1T
tered over wide area. Owing TO the dark
ness it was impossible to learn the full cx-
tent OF the loss of life and property.

The bodies of Vice President William
r. King and his brother were both orig
'inally buried in the family burying
ground on the plantation owned hy his
estate, situated about ten miles south
of Selma. His family erected very
handsome mausoleum o his memory and
the body remained there for many
years until about ten years ago, when
his grandniece, Mss h arguerite King,
had the remains removed, and they
were reinterred in Live Oak Cemetery
in lot presented by the city of Selma
for that purpose.
Miss King was prompted TO remove
the remains because the property had
passed out Of the family's possession.
From some cause she could not COM
plete the work and remove the hand
some block of marble, which still 1e-
mains at the original grave on the cid
plantation. The body of the Vice Pres
ident, with that of his brother, now lies
buried in Selma in q brick vault, and
the only mark to show the spot is the
brick cover ng with coat of cement
spread over it. Truly a humble mark
for one of Alabama most distinguished
sons Tie State would honor itself
and the memory of her noble son to
erect shaft over his grave or remove
the old mausoleum and rebuild it over
his resting-place.-Birm nsham tAla.)
