sLAOK-PERRINE CASE.
CortIandt Parker Argues for MRS.
lack Before the Court of Appeals.

1tt t8 3ftAQ~
TRENTON, Dec. 3, 1s9s.-Argument in
the Slack-Perrine case was concluded be-
fore the Court of Errors and Appeals
yesterday morning by Cortland Parker,
for h appellants. He held that the case
was properly before the Court of Chanc-
cry, because the Perrines had made an
swer to the writ of habeas corpus APP
piled for by Mrs. Slack and issued by
Vice Chancellor Bird. Mr.. Parker said
that how the Chancellor had been led
to reverse the DEGREES advised by the
Vice Chancellor and made by himself, he
had been unable to see. By the reversal,
he said, the State had been disgraced.
and he hoped that the Court of Errors
would maintain the dignity of the State
as represented by its Court of Chancery,
by UNFOLDING the first DEGREES and revers-
ing the later ones.
Mr.. Parker also spoke of the allegations
of the Perrines concerning the character
of Mrs. Slack. He said that Mrs. Slack
stood upo a pedestal of ~womanhood
which was far above that of anyone else
in the case.

FIRE In A SILK FACTORY.

Last evening at six O'Clock. just before
the closing hour, a fire started in the
silk factory of e. Stohm, No. 1858 Sum-
nit avenue. 1t was caused by a lighted
gas jet coming in contact with some
silk that 1uttered from one of the looms.
The flame quickly spread M the
machines, almost causing a panic among
the operatives, who were on the point of
quitting work. They quickly. rallied and
under the guidance of the male employees
succeeded in putting the fire out. No
alarm was turned in to the fire depart
ment. Mr.. Stohm estimates the dam
age to the machinery and stock at $500,
fully covered by insurance.

MAN, HORSE AND WAGON GONE

John Mcclure, a peddler, of No. 7s
First street, Hoboken. yesterday morn
ing sent his assistant. Michael Malone,
with vegetables TO peddle in the Fourth
Ward. Malone left about nine o'clock.
and should lave returned about three IN
the afternoon. When he did not return
at six O'Clock Mcclure went down to the
Fourth Ward. but. found no trace of Md
lone, although he learned that he had
been there during the morning. Mcclure
thought that perhaps Malone had had
Hoboken and had driven to some other
town and had been arrested for not hay
ing a license permitting him to peddle.
So he t~elephoned to the jersey City po-
lice and the police stations on the hill,
but they had no information Of the arrest
of a peddier. Mcclure then came to the
conclusion that his assistant had left for
parts unknown, and started for New
York Police Headquarters TO notify the
police of his loss.
