PENSION DECISIONS.
BY the Assistant Secretary of the
Dept. Of the Interior.

MARRIAGE-Tennesse - BY a
recent decision Of the supreme
court of Tennessee. common-law
marriages are held to be invalid
in that state. Mere cohabitation
and reputation as husband and
wife, without evidence referring
to the fact Of an antecedent cere-
monial marriage between the
parties, are not sufficient to es.
tablish in a pension claim a valid
marriage in Tennessee when the
public records Of the place Of the
alleged marriage fail to show it
and are apparently complete and
reliable.
PATHOLOGICAL ~SEoUENCE-
Death cause The soldier was a
pensioner on account Of disease
of throat among other causes,
and il is commended he died Of
broncho-pneumonia caused by an
extension OF a catarrhal process
from the throat.
IL is held that IL the death
cause was. as claimed. broncho-
pneumonia, il was due 10 an IN
lection and not to extension OF
