Mr. Perkins was asked II he had not
refrained from prosecuting cases where
he expected opposition, and he replied
that he had never adopted such a
course. lie had not brought any cases
yet i'm the Common Pleas Division of
the Supreme Court because he had not
had time to do so since his election of
Office.
Mr.. Burbank's question at this point
became directed towards the ability of
Mr.. Perkins as a chemist. and this
called for protest from Mr.. Gushing.
who claimed that the complainant must
coniine himself to the specifications I'm
the charges, and i'm this view he was
sustained by the committee.
More questions were asked, and there
was a great deal of levty. which was
provoked by the remarks of the com
plainants counsel, and a member of
the committee remarked, IF we are go
ing To have an investigation let us have
an investigation, but do not let US have
a farce"
Mr.. Perkins emphatically stated that
he had never requested the chief OF
police To discontinue a number OF cases
prepared by his predecessor in office.

DEATH OF WCE-PReSiDeNT HOBART.
The death OF Vice-President Hobart
occurred Tuesday at 80 A. NJ. He had
been III for nesrly year, and although
his desth had been expected az any time
there was still faint hope up 10 the last
among his personal friends in Paterson,
that he would survive for some time to
come. These persons who hsd been
neighbOrs and lifelong friends Of the
yice-President were deeply affected BY
his death.
Mr.. Hobart was born In 1874 az Long
Branch, y. j. His ancestors on his
fathers side were English aud on his
mothers side Dutch. Thrity-three years
ago he WAS graduated from Rutgers
College and began teaching school.
Three months later he entered upon the
study OF law with Socrates futile, 3
prominent lawyer in PSssaie County and
who WAS at that time mayor OF Paterson
and married the daughter Of Mr.. futile
in 1859.
lie rapidly rose in business and poll
ties for which be displayed decided apti-
tude, and held important places Of trust
prior 70 his nomination 20 the vice-presi-
dency. As presiding officer OF the Sen
ate he gave excellent satisfaction and was
general favorite in Washington. With
all his rapid increase IN wealth, he seems
TO have retained every bOdy's respect and
no charges sgsinst his public or private
character have ever been made.
His wife and one son, Carrot A.
Hobart, Jr., survive him. A daughter
died in 1895, aged p years.
