QUICK RELIEF FOR SICK.
Governor Hastings Goes to Camp and
Brings Back the Sick Soldiers.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2S.-After the middle
of last week Governor Hastings, of Penn
sylvania, raised 5000 cash in thirty minutes
in Philadelphia to equip hospital train to
bring home the sick of Pennsylvania regi-
ments from Chickamauga. A train of eigh-
teen hospital cars was equipped and started
for Chickamauga with astounding prompt
ness 1t passed through Cincinnati, going
South on Friday night Tonight it arrived
by the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, home
ward bound, with 221 Pennsylvania soldiers,
thirteen New Workers, one Ohio and one
Rhode Island soldier and left with its over
ioyed freight an hour later for Pittsburg.
The train was supplied with every luxury
of personal service, food and medical at
tention. Both on the down trip and the re-
turn Governor Hastings had provided spe-
cial watchrnen at all switches, stations tun-
nels and other points of danger on the road.
Arriving at Cincinnati tonight he filed 164
kilograms to friends of soldiers and to those
who are preparing for their reception in
Pennsylvania. At Chickamauga yesterday
he took the sick from hospitals against the
protests of officials, who wanted them to
wait for a transcript of their muster rolls
Fourteen soldiers, too i'll to leave, were left
in the Red Cross hospital, which the Gov
ernor says is well managed. He devoted his
personal attention to all the details of this
transportation.

"What must come of this? 1t means

"There is no way out of it; we must

No one went to his work as of wont,

longing to renew the labor of gaining
money, or honor, or advancement.
Rather he went as if these motives had

PENSION DECISIONS.
Cases Disposed Of by Assistant
Secretary Davis.

In the case of Judge w. Moody, Co. C,
10Th Tenn Cav, appeal was taken from the
Bureau action dropping his name from the
rolls, under section ais, Revised Statutes,
as pensioner under section 2, act of June
~, 1880, on the ground that he was errone-
onsly pensioned, he having rendered service in
the Confederate army, as shown by the War
Department records. Claimants attor-
ney," Mr.. Davis says, in his decision in the
case, " does not deny that voluntary service
was rendered by soldier in the Confederate
army, but it is argued that the act of June
81 1890, repealed so much of section 4716 as
was inconsistent Herewith, and that the act
of June 81, 1890, pensions irrespective of
prior disloyalty."
Mr.. Davis says: It is clear that the act of
June 81, 1890, is subject to the provisions of
section 47l6, Revised Statutes, which forbids
in terms the payment of any money on ac-
count of pensions to any persons who in any
manner voluntarily engaged in or aided or
abetted the late rebellion against the au-
thority of the United States, and the action
appealed from is accordingly affirmed"
In the case of Henry A. Dorr, Co.'S A and
E, 10th Me-, the appeal was dismissed. Mr..
ID Wis holds that an administrators of the
estate of an attorney in a pension claim has
no TlSIlt oT power ny NiTtuc Ol Sstlu appoint
ment to appear or appeal, or take any steps
involving the prosecution of the pension
claim, on behalf of the claimant, without the
authority or consent of the claimant, and
this appeal is therefore without authority and
is dismissed.
The Commissioner of Pensions in reporting
on this case before the decision says: where
an attorney dies after completing claim and
before its allowance, the fee due is certified to
such an attorney deceased and passes to
his estate. Where in such case the fee is
withheld or the claim is rejected, an appeal
by the administrator is not authorized By any
rule, but would seem to rest within the dis
erection of the Department.. Mr. Davis in
dispOsing of this case says: g 1t was held in
the case of s. II. Lewis, administrator,
etc. q p. d., 69), that where an attorney
dies leaving pension claims pending in which
he was entitled to recognition, his personal
representatives will not be recognized to COM
plete such claim"
In the case Of Eliza A. E., widow of Will
liam NJ Wade, Co. E. LIST Tenn, Mr. Davis
decides: "A declaration which is specifically
and unambiguously under one law cannot be
SO amended as to be made, instead, decla-
ration under the other, unless it be shown
before adjudication that such declaration
was not in the intention of the declarant, but
was mistake on his or his attorneys part as
to the law under which pension was desired"
