jp-" I - t 1&- : PENSM DECISIONS. Assistant Secretary Announces Three Very Important Rulings. ONE PENSION IN THREE GRANTED. A Michigan Man Gets One for Being Hurt While Getting in His Bunk. -ANOTHER CASE KOT QUITE LIKE THAT Washixgtojt, April 16. Assistant Sec retary Bussey to-day rendered three pension decisions, iii which is involved the impor tant qnestion of when may and when mar not a soldier be considered "in the line of duty?" The first case is that of W. H. Brokcnshaw, late of Company H, Twenty ninth Michigan Volnnteers, who applied, for an invalid pension. The basis of this claim was an injury to the left side, incurred in the service at -Jackson, Mich., abont March 20, 1865, said injury having been "caused by three soldiers jumping on claimant while he was climbing into his bunk, crushing the ribs of the left side, just below the heart" The-claimwas rejected by Commissioner Black upon the ground that "claimant was not injured in the line of duty." Assistant Secretary Bussev, in his decision to-day, overrules the former decision, and directs that Broken shaw's name be placed upon the pension rolls, rating his disability in accordance with law. He savs: In the original Ammerman decision (recently reversed), as in tbe preceding case of Harring ton, tbe department declined to recojrnlie the doctrine of contributory negligence as an ele ment in the line of duty, and failed, therefore, to notice either the guiltiness or the innocence of tbe injured party. It Is immemorial and true doctrine of the common law that "the plalutiff lias no remedy, if his negligence, many decree, contributed to the accident" of wnich he com plains, and whereby he suffered injury; but the converse of this doctrine is equally true, viz: that, if the negligence of the other party was THE SOLE PBOXISIATE CAUSE of the injury, then the injured party may re cover. As now correctly held by the depart ment, Ammerman was "in his proper place, ready to perform such duty as he might be called upon to do." and was guiltless of any act contributory to it. inasmuch as 'the Injury alleged as tbe ground of pension happened to him without any fault or neglect on his part." and hence, he was entitled to a remedy for the result. That which, in this particular, was true of Ammerman. seems to have been true, vith increased emphasis, of Brokensbaw, the claimant in the pending motion. Brokenshaw was clearly In the line of duty not passive only, but active duty inasmuch as he was in the act of "climbing into his bunk," tbe place it customary rest, which it was his duty to ue and which was provided for him by the regulations of the service when ho received tbe alleged injury; the said injury, though not a necessary result, was, as to claimant, an unavoidable incident of tbe service, it having been caused, without any provocation on his part, by "three soldiers, names unknown, i" limping on him "while be was climbing into his rank." He was thus in no degree a contribu tor to his own injury, but was merely the help less recipient ot an irresistible assault. His title to remedy is plain, but it does not lie against bis assailants. It lies in the system of pensions pro ided for disability incurred in the service and line of duty. He was "in his proper place, ready to perform such duty as he might be called upon to do," and tbe mjurynlleged as tbe ground of pension happened to him "with out any fault or neglect on bis part." The doc trine which tbe department now avows is a fundamental rule of justice, and the applica tion of it to tbe claimant In this as in all simi lar cases, seems to be required by the true Spirit andtntent of the pension sjstem. QUITE AX OPPOSITE CASE. Another case is that of C. H, Sedgwick, late midshipman United States steamer "Santee" and United States steamer "Con stitution." The claimant in this case was injured by a kick from a comrade on board ship. He was at the time, to use his own language, "twitting and teasing" his com rade, who, becoming incensed thereat, ad ministered to him the kick from which his disability resulte'. The Assistant Secre tary in this case sustains a former decision rejecting the application, and adds: Here it is apparent that the claimant not only contributed directly to produce the cause of his injury, but that he was engaged at the time in a manner that was manifestly in violation of tbe rules and regulations of the service, and subversive of discipline and good order, and the injury resulting from such con duct on his part was unquestionably not in curred in the line of duty. The third case is that of Elizabeth Hull, widow of "William Hull, a soldier who died in a military prison at Nashville, of in flammation of the pleura, contracted in the prison. The soldier, it appears from the evidence, was arrested and confined in the prison for being absent from bis company and regiment without permission. In this case Mr. Bussey says: To entitle a widow to a pension, the wound, the injury or tbe disease which caused the bus band's death must have been connected, as a result, with the compliance by him with tbe re quirements of military duty. Such connection betn een the fatal disease and the service did not exist In this case. The former decision is adhered to.

There were nearly a thousand people at the depot here last evening to witness the arrival of Richard Dowell, the man brought from Grand Forks, Dak., where he was arrested two weeks ago on tbe supposition that he was'tbe murderer of John R. and Edward "West, who were shot and killed while re turning from church December 23, 1875. -Dowell was convicted, but escaped from jail. A large posse of special officers had been sworn in to prevent disorder, and these kept the crowd at a considerable dis tance from the train, but as soon as the prisoner appeared there were scores of shouts that he was not the man. The prisoner was taken to jail, where the officers were followed by the entire popu lation of the town. At the jail the prisoner stated his name was James Shelton, and a native of Tennessee; that he had gone to Dakota six vears ago, and that hehadnever heard of the'murder until accused of it. He will probably be released. Royal Worcester for Weddings. There is a grace of form, beauty of outline and dejicacy of coloring embodiediin Wor cester that no other ware possesses.

You Need It Now To impart strength and to give a feeling of health and vigor throughout tbe system, there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla, It seems peculiarly adapted to overcome that tired feeling caused by change of season, climate or life, and while it tones and sustains the system, it purines and renovates tbe blood. We earn estly urge the large army or clerks, book keepers, school teachers, housewives, oper atives and all others who have been closely confined during the winter and who need a good spring medicine, to try Hood's Sarsapa rilla note. It will do you, good. "Every spring for years I have made it a practice to take from three to fire bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla. because I know it purifies the blood and thoroughly cleanses the system of all impurities.
