Missing Man.

4 dispatch from Cumberland says that
a confeCtiorer of that place named c. Fl. r.
Williams, who left there week ago yester-
day to come to this city, has not been heard
from since his departure, and his relatives
are anxious about him. When he left home
1T was his intention to come here and re-
turn the next day. 1t is said that Williams,
who is ;wentythree years old, was finan-
cidlly embarrassed when he left Cumber-
land. The missing nan is son of Conrad
Williams. who until q short time ago lived
at 1891 9TH street northwest. The father
and mother of the young man, 1t is said,
have gone TO Cumberland, and his mother
fears he has met with an accident.
The case has not been reported to the po-
lice here

THE SLACK CHlLDRE N
Judge Hagner Will Decide the Case To-
morrow.
The Controversy and What 1t Means
Eject of the Pending Decision
Habeas Corpus Case.

Judge Hagner today notified counsel that
he will tomorrow morning render his deci-
sion in the matter of the petition of the
next friend of the children of the late VIM
Fl. Slack for an injunction, enjoining the
institution and prosecution here or else
where of all legal proceedings respecting
their custody until after the contest over
their fathers will shall have been determ-
ired.
While Judge Hagner has, of course, init
mated in no way whatever what his de-
Csion will be, yet it seems to be universal
ly conceded that he will hold that the old
English statute of James II, empowering a
father to bequeath the custody and tuition
of his minor children to the exclusion of
even their mother, is still in force in the
District of Columbia. Hence, it is believed
that Mrs. Addie Slack Perrine, the aunt of
the children. two girls of eight and ten
Years, respectively, viii be declared to be
the legal custodian of them, and will,
therefore, be allowed TO retain the custody.
To Mrs. Perrine, 1t VIII be remembered.
the father of the children bequeathed their
custody and tuition by his will, made last
July. Their mother, Mary Kenlble Slack,
hot only filed contest in the matter of the
estate, contending that the will is invalid,
but also Instituted habeas corpus proceed
ings in New Jersey for the recovery of her
pending the habeas corpus proceedings
mere, WElen, after the New Jersey court had
awarded her the children. they were re-
moved TO this city by Mrs. Perrine. But,
pending the habeas corpus proceedings,
here, the late Major VIM. 3. Slack, the
grandfather of the children, their next
friend filed petition for an injunction,
praying that all proceedings here and else
where instituted for the recovery of the
little ones he stopped until after the valid
ity of their fathers will he determined
Judge Hagner signed an order directing
both Mrs. Perr.re and Mrs. Slack to
show cause why such an injunction should
not be granted. and in this matter the
judge will render decision tomorrow.
Should he hold that the old English stat
ute is in force here today, and should de-
eide that the aunt of the children has the
legal right to their custody, this question
will then arise, many members of the bar
say, viii such a decision restrain Mrs.
Slack from prosecuting the habeas corpus
proceedings? Not a few lawyers contend
that 1t will not, and that it will then be-
come incumbent upon Judge McComas, be-
fore whom the habeas corpus case insti-
tuted here by Mrs. Slack now is, pending
Judge Hagner's decision, to decide between
Mrs. Slack and Mrs. Perrine.

DEPARTMENT OF THE POTOMAC.
Canvass for mmander-in-Chief Not
Spirited as Yet.


AS the time draws near for the annual en-
campment Of the Department of the Po-
tomac, Grand Army of the Republic, there
is a noticeable stir among the veterans as
regards the claims of certain of them to
office. AS yet the date of the encampment
is unknown. The bylaws Of the department
provides that it shall meet each year be-
tween January 10 and February %, and
Department Commander Anderson stated
to Star reporter today that within few
days after January l he will publish gen.
eral order announcing the date.
The contest for the Office of commander
in-chief is not expected to be at all spirited
at the coming election. Commander Ander-
son, having worked constantly for the or
ganization during the past fifteen years,
thinks that he is entitled to a rest, and will
not accept a reelection under any crcum-
stances. At present the only candidates in
the field are j. H. Hewlett, now senior vice
commander, and John McElroy, who was
senior vice commander in 1892. No caucus
ing is being done as yet, and it is thought
that matters will not be at all lively until
after the first of January.
