CHASE Details of Her Loss of the Property and Her Opportunity to Regain It, FRIENDS COME TO HER AID ‘The announcement that the friends of Mrs. Kate Chase, daughter of the late Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, were rais- ing a sum of money sufficient to allow her to regain possession of Edgewood, the famous country residence of the Chase family, beyond Eckington, has created a great deal of interest in Washington,where the brilliant woman is so well known, and where she was for years the undispyted queen of society. The published statement goes on to say that a number of gentle- men prominent in Ohio and New York, in- cluding Senator Brice, William C. Whitney, Cc. S. Sorg and John Wanamaker, had de- termined to subscribe to a fund of $50,000 for the purposes indicated above. A great many people who have kept track of the misfortunes of Mrs. Chase, and who knew that the Edgewood property had already been sold at auction under the provisions of a deed of,trust, were somewhat surpris- ed at the publication, believing, as they did, that Edgewood had passed beyond the possibility of being recovered by its former owner. Such, however, is not the case; and a statement of the facts connected with the mortgaging of Edgewood end the subse- quent foreclosing of the obligation will be found interesting at this time. She Borrows $30,000. -Edgewood originally consisted of a tract containing about fifty-two acres. Several years ago Mrs. Chase sold eighteen acres of the property lying to the west. This deft thirty-four acres in the tract surround- ing the mansion. Some years later Mrs. Chase found herself confronted with a necessity for funds. While she had in- herited her father's brilliant mental at- tainments she had not imbibed any of his shrewd financial’ wisdom. She indulged in careless speculations and undertook im- provements as well as enterprises on her Edgewcod farm that cost large sums of money and failed to reach completion in the first place or remuneration in the last. Se four years ago she borrowed $30,000 from the Washington Loan and Trust Company, to secure which she gave a deed of trust upon the property, with Mr. Al- bert A. Wilson and Mr. John B. Larner, as trustees. This money went, unfortunately, Uie way of the large sums she had spent before. Some time later, therefore, Mrs. Chase secured a further Ioun from the Washington Loan and Trust Company of $6,000. From the time the first loan had been negotiated she had paid none of the taxes or other expenses connected with the property, and had paid no part of the prin- cipal or any portion of the interest on the loans. There being no prospect of her ability to relieve herself of her burden, it was decided by the directors of the trust company that the mortgage should be fore- closed,.and in accordance with this action Edgewood was advertised for sale last De- cember. Bought In by Mr. Edson. There were one or two postponements, but the sale finally took place January 17. Mr. Needham of the firm of Cotton & Need- ham, who, together with Mr. Benjamin F. terworth, are the attcrreys for Mrs, Chase, was present at the sale, and before the bidding began read a protest against its consummation, and warning prospective bdders that the proceedings were not in accordance with law. This action had tne effect of preventing several individuals present from carrying out their intention of bidding on the property, but was not sufficlent to keep Mr. Jchn Joy Edson, the president of the Washington Loan and Trust Stories from bidding it in for that institution at a figure between $43,000 and $44,000, w fn represented the indebtedness due from Mrs. Chase to the trust company and guaranteed by the mortgage. Kind Treaiment of Mrs. Chase. Financial institutions are seldom sentl- mental, but in the present instance the trust company, feeling that Mrs. Chase was the daughter of @ most distinguished American, and that it might be possible for her to reclaim, with the assistance of her friends, the home so dear to her, de- cided to show Mrs. Ghase the consideration it believed to be her dus. Consequently as soon as the deed conveying the property to the Washirgton Loan and Trust Company had been properly made out and the title of the irstitution in the property further strengthened by a quit-c’aim ceed, which was given by Mrs. Chase, it was decided that the latter should be given an option on the property extending to February 1, 1896, by which she would be allowed to purchase it from the Washington Loan and Trust Company at the actual amount rep- resented by the sum of her indebtedness and the interest thereon to the time of such repurchase. Facts About the Fund. A few weeks ago the friends of the late Chief Justice Chase determined to pre-, serve the property at Edgewood for his ac- cemplished daughter, and a movement was inaugurated by them to raise the sum of $50,000, which would be sufficient to pay off the incebtedness on the estate and al- low Mrs. Chase a few thousand dollars for other purposes. Chief among the promoters of this object were ex-Secretary Whitney, his brother-in-law, Mr. Oliver Payne, and Governor Levi P. Mortcn. Those familiar with the intimate details of the matter said last week that $3,000 had already been raised, and that the remainder would be :crthcoming as soon as Mrs. Chase agreed to certain conditicns. It is under- stood that the gentlemen who are interest- ed in the raising of the fund are convinced that Mrs. Chase cannot of herself manage the property In the best and most busine: like manrer, and that they desire to make the fund something im the nature of a trust, so that the property cannot be dis- posed of by Mrs. Chase herself, but will be controlled by_the ‘trustees gelected by the subscribers. It is said Mrs. Chase at pres- ent rebels against any couditions being im- posed upon her management of. the estate in the future, and that there is some delay in the matter owing to thig feeling on her part. There is believed to be no doubt, however, that she will realize the wisdom of her friends and submit to their arrange- ment of her affairs in regard to Edgewood. ———__ i HUNTING A MAN, Police and Citizens in Chase of Mra, Hall’s Assailant. Despite the fact that Sergeant Anderson of the Anacostia substation, with Police- men Allen and the two colored men, Will- jam Simms and William Miller, Saturday, as stated in The Star would be done by the officers, made a most careful search through Pencote woods, where the un- known colored man who had so_ brutally assaulted Mrs. Lucy Hall, colored, Satur- day, July 13, had been seen by several colored women, the scoundrel was not found, and it 1s believed that he in some way learned that the policemen were look- ing for him and left his hiding place some time before their arrival, Subsequently Sergeant Anderson learned through information sent by William Mil- ler of Garfield that the man wanted had gone to Shipley’s woods, a tract of land fully as large and as gloomy as that of Percote. Sergeant Anderson at once rode to Miller’s house, but as soon as the latter got a glimpse of the sergeant he took to his heeis, presuming, it is supposed, that Sergeant Anderson wanted to arrest him. As it was important for the sergeant to see Miller the former chased him on his horse, over fences and through ravines for fully half an hour before capturing him. When told why the sergeant wanted to see him Miller was much relieved, and gladly accompanied the officer to Shipley’s woods. Here also a thorough search was made, but without successful result, and after the hunt had been abandoned for the day the officers were informed that the man had left Shipley’s woods several ours before they had reached there. It is thought altogether probable that the fellow will be captured very shortly, . Duchess. ‘The Coming Marrige of Miss Lowery te the Dake d*Arcos—Per- sonal Notes. Mr. Archibald Lowery, with his son and daughter, left this morning for their sum- mer home at New London, where the mar- riage of Miss Virginia Lowery to the Duke d@’Arcos, Spanish minister to Mexico, will take place early in October. Immeditely after their marriagg the duke will take his bride to Mexico. The future duchess will, however, spend next winter with her father, preparatory to taking a trip to Spain with her husband for presentation to the queen regent and to the family of her husband, who is now at its head. The departure of the Lowerys for their sum- mer home was delayed by the recent death of Mrs. Lowery, which occurred almost on the eve of the time originally set for Miss Lowery’s wedding and in which her mother was so greatly interested. The latter has left a large fortune to be vided equally between her son and daugh- ter and many elegant Jewels, which will adorn the future duchess. The culmina- tion of this international romance, which dates back to Count runetti’s connection with the Spanish legation, has brought pleasure to many who only know the cou- ple slightly as well as those who hold them in close friendship. After the count’s re- turn as Duke d’Arcos lest spring his de- votion fer 5c mary years was rewarded by the conrent of the parents of his bride- elect, the announcement of their engage- iment and the setting of the wedding day for June, when all was again upset by the ilincss and death of Mrs. Lowery. The wedding now, as the family are in mourn- ing, will necessarily be quiet, but will be attended by the Spanish minister and other diplomaiic friends of the couple.
