SLACK CASE PROCEEDINGS.
Mrs. Perrine Answers the Rule Issued
nv Judge McComas

Mrs. Addie Slack Perrine and her bus
band, Mr.. Lewis Perrine. this morning,
through their attorneys, Carlisle & John
son, filed papers in answer to the rule
issued against them by Judge McComas in
the Slack habeas corpus case.
They were required to show cause why
they should not return to the custody of
their mother Mary and Katie Slack, chill
dren OF Mrs. W illiam b. Slack.
They merely set forth the proceedings in
court up to date, and claim that under them
they are lawfully in possession of the chill
dreD.
Records of what has been done are filed Il
exhibits. These set forth the will of Will
lam b. Slack. giving his children to his sis
ter. Mrs. Perrine. and entrusting his prop
erty to her for their benefit: its offer for
probate, the contest by Mrs. Slack, the
habeas corpus proceedings, the injunction
by Judge Hagner. forbidding anything to
be done till the will case is decided. and
the withdrawal of opposition by Mrs. Slack
to the probating of the will. This. of course,
leaves Mrs. Perrine in legal possession both
of the property and the children under the
terms of the will.
The next move will be an argument by Mr..
worthington. as Mrs. Stacks attorney,
to show that her claim to the children. as
their mother. is higher than the testamentary
wishes of her husband. She also will try
TO recover the property, which, she claims,
came originally from her as a loan to Mr..
Slack.

ira ten days, and that the opening of the

CANNON ON A CUTTER.
Novel Revenue Boat Being Built fC
Use on the Great Lakes,

Novel Revenue Boat Being Built for
Use on the Great Lakes.
A novelty has been introduced on board
a revenue cutter under construction at
Cleveland which may engage the attention
of the diplomatic authorities of Great
Britain.
Some months ago Secretary Carlisle
awarded contract for n vessel for use in
the revenue marine and for service on the
great lakes. Its station was to be at Mil
waukee. A Cleveland firm received the
order. and the plans for the ship required,
among other things. that IL should he armed
with three six-pounders and that a tor
pedo tube should be Placed in the bow.
This is the first instance of such a
feature being added to n revenue cutter
although England has three ships of that
service on the lakes equipped with insig-
nificant weapons The torpedo tube on
the Milwaukee boat is of fifteen inches. and
may be fitted with q Whitehead torpedo
of thesaIne type used in the navy. The tube
has been cast at the Bethlehem Iron Works.
The boat may never be equipped with a
torpedo. hut such equipment would add ma
terially 20 the influence Of the cutter in its
regular work. 1t would incidentally render
IT. more valuable as naval adjunct in time
Of trouble.
