THE SLACK PBRR1NE CASE.

WASHINGTON, February 6, 1S96.-Mrs.
Slack. has filed a demurrer to the re-
Gently. published answer of Mrs. Perrine
to- the rule to show cause why the for
mer should not have the custody of her
children. The paper sets forth that the
New Jersey court decreed that Mrs.
Slack should have custody of her chill
dren and the decision was binding upon
Mrs. Perrine. The demurrer claims that
the question whether the ~domicile of
the children is in the District is imma-
terial to the issue. The admission of the
will in the Orphans Court was Irrelevant,
because of the New Jersey courts decis-
ion and because, it is claimed, there is
no law in the District by which a father
may deprive the mother of the comfort
and society of her children by giving
them into another's custody.
Mrs. Perrine had no right, the demur-
rer says, to bring the charge against
Mrs. Stacks fitness into the case the
second time, they having been first heard
in New Jersey, and the court having
adjudged in Mrs. Stacks favor as to her
fitness. Mrs. Slack claims that the Dis
trict court has the authority to go be-
You'd the question of unlawful detention
and pass upon the future custody of
the Children

SprciGit TO the Jersey CGy Nears.
SOMERvILLE, February 6, 1854
number of farmers living near White
House were greatly excited last night,
over the prospect of losing their homes
through the financial transactions of J..
N. Pidcock, whose gigantic schemes and
failures of the past two years have con-
tinued to startly the people of Somerset
and Hunterdon Counties.
In 1882 Pidcock sold large tracts of
land tot Stephen Kelroy, George Dilly,
George Apgar. Jacob Emmons, Peter
voorhees, n Bum and Thatcher, and
1t is alleged gave to each purchaser a
warrantee deed. The purchasers have
been established on their farms for a
number of years, with the belief that
their property was free from encum-
ORANGES. Tuesday night Sheriff Poulson
served them with orders to appear be-
fore Chancellor McGill at Trenton, on
foreclosure proceedings on their property.
1he action Is brought by the First Ma
tional Bank of Jersey City, to satisfy a
s50,0O0 blanket mortgage Which includes
the tracts already mentioned and other
farm lands in Hunterdon county This
mortgage was given the First National
Bank by ,Pidcock prior to the sale OF
lands to the now enrageds farmers.
A prominent Hunterdon county oficial
asserts that he asked Mr.. Pideock for
an explanation yesterday ard was In
covered a large amount Of property. If
S50,0O0 can be realized from the sale of
lands outside of the roper decided to
farmers their tracts need not beseold.

MANUSCRIPT VENEZUELA REPORT

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6, 1S96.-The re-
cent despatch from Seattle announcing
that a valuabl manuscript report OF 400
pages had been sent to England in com
pliance with a request from Lord Sails
bury. is not strictly accurate.
The parcel has been sent by express to
the British Ambassador here. who in re-
ply to an offer to submit for examination
wrote that he should be glad to look at
it. and yesterday received a telegram an
nouncing that it had been forwarded to
him.: Sir Julian Pauncefote will prob
ably send it. when received, to Lord Sal
isbpry. if the owner permits, and the docu-
lei appears to have any value as evil
dence in the boundary dispute.
The Venezuelan Commission is said
to be somewhat chagrined that this re-
port should have been placed at the dis
ppsal of one of the disputants where there
is a possibility it may never be presented
as evidence. Secretary M~alet-Provost
only discovered the existence of the docu-
Sment through a newspaper publication.
and was unable to learn until Tuesday
the whereabouts of it's owner with whom
he promptly communicated, asking the
opportunity to examine the document, butt
asst appears. his request came too. late.

AMATEUR POLICEMEN.

Albert Weaver and Edward Beakes.
two young men,, are going about from
house to house in the neighborhood of
Winfield avenue and Avenue E, Green
willie. asking for employment as private
swatchmen. They are slight athletic, look
ing young men, who think this scheme
will be of mutual benefit to the house
owners and themselves.
Their proposition is that each house
owner contribute % cents weekly and
thus make up Of small sums respectable
wages for a man. They wish to take a
solid block each and guarantee it protec-
ation. They claim to be endorsed by Chief
Murphy. to whom they presented a letter
signed by several Newark avenue mer-
chants. Gus Markert was one of the
slgners who declared he has known
Weaver for. three years to be in every
way trustworthy and respectable.
Captain Nugent endorses them without
recognizing any reflection upon the force
in#his precinct by the application of pri-
vate watchmen for work in it. This is
the first time such a scheme has been
introduced in Greenville.
