The EnlbarrasSment Of q Lawyer
Who was Supposed to be Very
Wealthy.
New York Sun, March 22d.1

Mr.. William G. Barrett, a well.known
lawyer and politician, sailed from this
city on Saturday last for France, broken
in health and spirits, and an insolvent
debtor to several estates of which he is
executor and trustee. Mr.. Barrett came
to New York from ireland thirty-tive
years ago, and has ever since been active
~ engaged in the profession of the law.
Ten years ago the firm with which he was
connected was Barrett, Brinsmade &; Bar.
rett, the latter being George G. Barrett,
nephew of William G. Barrett, and now
Justice of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Bar.
rett and his nephew took an active part
in the onslaught upon the Tweed ring in
1871, and George G. Barrett was elected
Justice on the reform ticket. Mr.. Amasa
A. Redfield had taken the place of Mr..
Brinsmade some years before, and after
the election of Judge Barrett to the bench
Mr.. j. L. Hill took the place of the Judge
and up to last week the firm was Barrett,
Redfield & Hill, William G. Barrett being
the head.
Notwithstanding his long residence in
the United States. Mr.. Barrett retained
strong Irish accent, and often provoked
laug liter at public gatherings by his
quaint, impassioned speech. His reputa-
ton for honesty was such that he was
named as executor in several wills and
made the trustee Of several estates. His
troubles have been gradually growing for
years past, until within few weeks they
eliminated in hopeless insolvency and
bankruptcy. He was very reserved in
regard to his private business, and the
members Of his firm profess entire igno-
rance of it's details.
On Wednesday last Mr.. Barrett's mind

st. Paul Moving for the State Fair.

from the St. Paul Dispatch, March 24.]
VIM. Fowler, Esq, President of the
State Agricultural Society, who was en-.
powered by the Executive Committee
with authority to decide upon the place
for holding the Annual Fair, after con.
su:tatiou with the Executive Committee
Of the State Stock Breeders Association,
visited the city on that business yesterday
After consultation with several gentlemen
belonging to the latter Association.
Mr.. Fowler decided to postpone
action for the present. As
we'll known the Stock breeders Associa.
ton voted to unite in holding an exhibi-
ton with the Agricultural Society pro.
vided the fair Was held either in this city
or Minneapolis. Among the members Of
this latter association are some of the
wealthiest and most enterprising citizens
of the State. They favor St. Paul for the
exhibition, for the reason that it is the
center of the largest compact population
of the State, and, also, that the grounds
of the St. Paul Driving Park Association
are the best in the State for such pur-
poses. The executive committee of the
Agricultural Society, it is perhaps not
out Of place to say, are in sympathy with
these views of the gentlemen Of the Stock
breeders Association.
But right here is the trouble. The
people Of St. Paul, having been roundly
abused in the past and charged with mig.
gardly support of the Society since their
fairs have been located here, almost una1l.
imously concluded to make no. effort to
have the fair located here this year. The
people of Minneapolis who came in for q
share of the abuse continually heaped
npon st. Paul, decided to pursue like
course. The consequence is only one
point, Owatonna, has made propositions
for the location of the fair this year, and
this proposition is not such as to warrant
acceptance with the certainty Of losing
the cooperation Of the breeders associa.
ton.
Under these circumstances it looks
very much as if the Society would have
no fair this year unless St. Paul and Min
neapolis came to its aid, and
We submit as question
for consideration on the part Of the citi.
zens of the two cities, if bygones had not
better be forgotten. and the society be
given boost by having the fair held
here another year. Bad weather alone
prevented a financial success last year.
The society is now in the hands of con.
scientious gentlemen, who are earnestly
]aboring to make it credit to the State.
By the proposed union with the stock
breeders the exhibition will be far supe-
rior, especially in show Of stock, to any
ever before made in the State. Remem.
Der this is the centennial year, and good
deeds arc in order.

and that it was expected that he would
return in the autumn. He did not be.

the estates in his care would amount to
$500 900, or anywhere near that sum.
Among those who are said to be SUI.

Of Mr.. Messier, gentleman Of consider
able wealth, who died about twenty-five
years ago, leaving . son, Louis Messier,
aged about six and thirty, and daught-
er. Gertrude, ten years younger, who is
still unmarried. Mrs. Messier was the
eldest daughter of Robert $Hyslop, a

queathed to his numerous children con-

trustee of the Messier estate.
