Biography

A Sudden Death The Baltimore American of yesterday, says:

“Mr. Andrew Slack, who resides on Pennsylvania Avenue, was yesterday morning found dead in his bed by his wife who went to arouse him about his usual hour for breakfast. As he did not complain of any sickness before he retired to rest, the probability is that he died of some organic affection of the heart. He was for many years stage driver on the route between this City and Carlisle, and we learn had not failed in a trip for the last four years. – Coroner Wright was in attendance, but thought an inquest unnecessary.
