A PLAN to rescue John Surratt was discov
cred by the Washington detectives on We'd
nesday.. The details Of the plot are thus re-
lated by the special Correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Advertiser: ''s+' i@1
The hotels in the Immediate vicinity were
unusually full, and it was ascertained that
many men from Baltimore and the secession
counties of Maryland and of this region were
in town. The court house swarmed with per-
sons whose faces were strange to the Washing
ton detectives. The plan was discovered
through the effects of liquor upon one promin-
entity connected with the scheme, who repeat
ed several times that there was big thing on
hand The Jail is about five hundred yards
from the court house, and the walk lies through
an unlighted parl, shaded by trees. The pris-
oner has usually been escorted through this
park by only four policemen. The hope ap-
pears to have been that the jury would agree
upon verdict before midnight, and necessi-
tate sending for the prisoner, when a rescue
would be easy. The verdict will in no case be
read at night In case Of Disagreement new
trial will occur in December, which, however,
will be short. qrsf . ss 81 -

Dur venerable and most worthy fsllow-citizen,
whose deasn which took place on the 9th inst,
We now record, was the son of Moody Chase,
and was born in Chester, N. H.. August II,
1850. His mother was a Webster. and connect
ed with the family of the late Daniel Webster
He was descendant in a d;rect line from
.NAquiia Cnase' who camefrom Cornwall, Eng
iand, ana settled in Hampton, N. H., in 1910
ana IN Newbury in 1916, and who was the
irui'lai ancestor of widely disseminated
progeny scattered far and wide over our broad
land. Among his descendants was our former
eminent citizen, Salmon Chase. and his dis.
unguished nephew, the present Chief Justice
OF the United States. s7'IT'a7'7
Inc SUBJECT of this notice came to Portland
in November. 1900, and served an apprentica-
sun az cooper with his kinsman. Moses
Chase. For more than fifty years he pursued
the occupation to which he was educated with
UNIFORM success; and established a character
tor promptness and integrity which enlarged
ms business, gave the public entire confidence
in him, and was alike honorable to himself and
the community in which he lived. By a course
OF unremitted industry and fidelity. he was
able to retire as the infrmities of age came on.
with competency, and, better still, with
conscience void of offence. He was for many
years an exemplary member of the Third Con-
gregational Church of this city, and for long
time Director in the Merchants Bank. ~
1t is by the labor, the character, the example
OF such men az our venerable friend that q
/ community is adorned and blessed .ini I'D III
Mr.. Chase was three times married; his1irst
wife, Miss Sally Haines, died within three
years of their marriage, leaving two daughters,
who are married and survive His second wife,
was Miss Bradley, of Haverhill, who died in
1921, leaving two sons and two daughters; his
third wife was Deborah Rogers, of Haverhill,
| who died in 1860 without issue. His last years
were sustained and comforted by the assiduous
attentions of his daughters, who repaid to him
in the infirmities of age the kindness and af-
lection of the most amiable of parents. "a
| Although when ono arrives at the great age
which Mr.. Chase attained, it is as natural and
desirable to die and lay aside the accumulated
burdens of years, as it is for youth to live. yet
we cannot part with good and familiar object
| with whom we have long associated, and taken
sweet counsel together, without degree OF
| sadness which we cannot control. As friend
as client, as a good citizen, as . genial and
uniformly kind man, We regret our loss as we
take our final leave Of one whose face we can
| never behold again. w.

in Oxford county on the 2lst inst We desire
to say for our correspondent, that we have not
the slightest reason TO suppose he would abuse
his relations to this paper by endeavoring to
forestall the action of his fellow-citizens. He
simply wrote of matter which people are be-
ginning to talk about, expressing his opinion
which may be right or wrong, but can hardly,
affect the result. He did not discuss the mer-
its of the candidates at ALL Our corresponds
ents in other parts OF the State have been ac-

action of the convention There was a good
deal OF int rest in the nominations for certain
offices III that county; but we have not heard
that anybody accused our correspondent of
trying to forestall the convention. Tt is the
business of newspaper to report what people
are talking about and interested in. If our
