New YORK, March S-The Tribune of Monday

peacefulness of Sunday. and the members
of his family were disturbed only at rare inter

anxious inquiries as to the Generals condition.
Under the present state of affairs his
body is not nourished sufficiently to
replace the enormous waste taking place
constantly. Though he takes some nourishment
daily in the shape of concentrated food, yet, on
account of the depressed state of his digestive
organs, it is not properly assmilated, and much

food is lost"

current that the Generals ailment is a compiled

sinking spells to which he has been

are produced by trouble with his heart His

He Persists in Drinking, aud His Pittsburg
Engagement Winds Up Suddenly.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
FRITZ Emmett is at the West Penn Hospital,
ana the physicians say he is bordering deli
rum tremens. The Operahouse is closed, and
Manager Ellsler is refunding money for seats.
For the third time Emmett disgraces himself be-
lore the Plttshurg public
When he opened here on Monday night he had
come from protracted spree in Wheeling.
where his maudlin disorder had secured HIM an
overnight berth in the Jail. He renewed his
spree on Monday night, and has kept it up at
intervals every night.
Friday night Emmett was so maudliu that he
had to be soused before he was able to appear on
the stage. Then he came on in condition dis
graceful to behold. He struggled through his
lines, the play dragged, the last act had to be-
cut and the iHebriated actor was taken to his
hotel in a carriage At the Monongahela House
this morning his condition was such that his re-
moval from the hotel was peremptorily ordered
The actors friends objected to his being arrest

asked that Emmett might be taken to the hos
ptal Detective Kelly was ordered to take care
OF the actor, and conveyed hip to the West Penn
Hospital
The feeling against Emmett for again breaking
his faith with the public is very strong and the
people who crowded around the box-of1ice this
afternoon unhesltatingly expressed their chagrin
and contempt.
This is the second time Emmett has been at
the hospital IN this city" one of the members of
his company said. He was there three or four
days. When he came out he said he had deter
mined to give up drinking, and signed the
pledge. His wife, who had separated from him
on account of his habits, came on from New
York. and everything looked lovely. 1t wasn't
month, however, before he was at it again. Mr..
Emmett always acts very fairly toward his COM
pany, but we are nevertheless, always in a state
of trepidation, and never know what to expect
next"
Another man who stepped up at that moment
said Il haven't anything to say against En-
NETS company, but Emmett deserves no sympa-
thy or consideration at the hands of the public
He is constantly breaking faith with the public
and ought to be taught lesson that he will not
easily forget If people would refuse to coun-
tenance him and let him play to empty benches
awhile he might come to his senses. The mana
gers ought to take the initiative in this matter
and sit down on him. He's disgrace to the
public and disgrace to his profession
Manager Elsler is almost distracted by the
part he has unwillingly been compelled to play
in breaking faith with his patrons.
