CENTREvILLE, Nd, January 26.-T. Chew
Paca died at his home, near town, yesterday,
aged about ffty-six years. He was a son Of
Col. VIM. B. Paca, who was grandson of
ex -Governor William Paca one Of the signers
of the Declaration of independence for Mary
land The death of Chew Paca recalls one
of the strangest and most unfortunate family
histories o. modern times. His father, Col.
William B. Paca, was man of fine educa-
ton, great family pride and considerable
wealth, owning nearly all of the beautiful and
fertile Wye, Or Pacas Island, i'll the Wye
River, Queen Annos county. One of William
3, Ppoa's brothers died suddenly and another
committed suicide. In 1864 the whole state
was startled and shocked by tragedy on Wye
Island. A farm owned by the widow of
Colonel Paoa's brother was in his charge as
trustee. There was dispute over the loca-
ton of garden and the widows son and
man named Jones one morning proceeded to
locate it where they wished. While they were
thus engaged Colonel Paca came up with his
two idiot sons, I. Chew and William. The
latter had their guns with them, and shot their
cousin and young Jones dead The boys arG
their father were arrested, the lattey charged
with prompting his idiot sons 10 do the killing.
At the trial, which Wss removed 70. Talbot
county, the boys were declared OF Insnnnt
mind pg a JURY, and were released. After a
Iohg and exciting triai, IN which State Tax
COMMISSIONER Thomas j, Heating, then u
young man. was one Of the counsel for the lie.
fense, Colonel Paca was acquitted. A few
years later he died. His oldest son. John p.
Paca, committed suicide on his fathers grave
in the sight Of his young wife. William one
Of the young men engaged in The killing, at
tempted to drown a dog in Wye River, and
fell in himself and was drowned. His mother
soon after that was sent to an institution Eear
Baltimore for treatment, but never recovered.
Other members of the family met with mis-
fortune. Chew Paaa divided his time between
Baltimore and Centreville. He was always
considered harmless. Several times he at
tempted to have the court declare him of
sound mind, so that he might assume control
of his property, hut failed. His property will
be inherited by his sister, Mrs, Rasin, CT Kent
