muscles. The deceased had been sufferer from dls-
order OF the kidneys.
The apartment in which the Chief Justice died is
the rear room OF the first moor OF the residence.
THE DEAD CHIEF JUSTICE.
As he lies in the last peaceful sleep the face is
thin; the beard and mustache, coming to point in
the vandyke style, are gray, and the color Of tae
skin has even deepcned in that sal0wness which
for several years past has been gradually darken-
ing his features. Last November Chief Justice
Chase weighed only 162 pounds. his usual weight
having been over two hundred. In height he was
six feet two inches.

state at st. Georges church, Stuyvesant square,
Sixteenth street, on Friday, and on Saturday. at
three p. NJ,
THE FUNERAL SERVICES
win take place in the church. the Rev. Drs Hall and
Tying officiating. On Saturday night the remains
will be carried to washington, where they viii be
inferred with additional ceremonies.
HIS FINAL RESTING PLACE.
The body VIII probably, however, be again removed
to the State of OHIO The difficulty OF choosing final
resting place in the West for the Industrious de-
ceased arises from the TACT that the great man who
sprung from the multitude had no place there
sacred to the ashes Of his sires.
THE SAD NEWS OF HIS DEATH
was soon disseminated through the city, and
feeling OF profound sorrow was in the breasts OF
all. the fags at the City Hall were hung at half
mast and this tribute 10 the great departed was
generally paid throughout the metropolis. The
evening papers containing the announcement OF
his death were rapidly bought up, and the
suddenness OF his demise was discussed in all its
bearings The noble character OF the man, for
which, as well as for his great intellectual gifts he
was admired and revered, received willing homage
from thousands. In the Courts OF justice some
brief and appropriate addresses were delivered in
honor OF the distinguished jurist who had passed
away. The formal action Of the judiciary
and the legal profession will be taken to-day.
In the regions OF finance, down town, the
memory OF Salmon P. Chase, the war Secretary OF
the Treasury, received its kindly tribute. ALI
through the city, IN fact, men found something Of
regret and affection to say upon the death of the
great Chief Justice.
DEATH OF THE CHIEF JUSTICES BROTHER IN 1852
FROM APOPLEXY.
The sudden death Of the Chief Justice recalls
the decease of his brother, Hon. Edward |. Chase,
which took place at Lockport in this State in the
Spring Of 1862. Mr.. Chase passed away without
moments warning, stricken down by the same
fatal apoplexy which has just terminated the
life Of his eminent brother At the time Of his
death he was the United states Marshal for the
Northern district Of New York, and was an efii-
cient and able oficer IN the confidence Of Presi-
dent Lincoln, Of whom he was an especial
favorite. Like the Chief Justice he was
lawyer and intensely ambitious. Though not
gifted with the legal and political astuteness Of the
Chief Justice, the resemblance was marked in al
most every other particular. He was large boned,
handsome man Of imposing presence and dignifed
demeanor and had he lived there is but little doubt
that he would have been appointed to q place Of
much higher distinction than the one he filed SO
well during the gloomy days OF the first stages Of
secession. There was no premonition Of his ap-
preaching end. He simply left his oftce and went
to his house to take his MONDAY nap-one from
which he WIS never to aMake.
