be shown to be due to the service and line
of duty, she would be entitled under the
general law, with the full benefit OF the
rank he held as commissioned officer at
the time of the origin Of the fatal disa bility.
If his death can not be shown to be due

ton Of the great expense connected with

eran Union soldiers west of the Allegha-
