which Jay Gould conceived to ruin him,
and the beginning of all his troubles.
IL Is now ten months since Mr.. CARROTS
friends first noticed his erratic talk about
Jay Gould, and ever since, during his trav-
els around the world and in this country.
his mind has constantly required to the
subject whenever he fell into relapse such
as he is now suffering. In the latter part of
october last year Mr.. Garrett was taken
away from Baltimore by his friends for
long period to travel. The last day he was
IN that city he drove in a carriage to the
maryland club, and, excitedly walking up
W group OF gentlemen, accused them or
rejoicing over his discontinue and being
friends of Jay Gould. This was the first
tlme his insanity on that point manifested
itself. When the train upon which he was
leaving pulled out of the depot he rushed TO
the end platform of his private cary MARY
land" and said to a group Of friends
assembled there; Don't let Jay Gould get
hold OF Maryland before | come back"
During the subsequent months there have
oeen times when his friends thought that
Mr. Garrett had permanently recovered,
put each good period of this kind has been
followed by a relapse worse than before.
MIR. Garretts mental breakup is gener
ally attributed to combined business tt oubles
and too copious indulgence in stimulants.
He was called heavy drinker in his Balti-
been kept on stricter diet in that respect.
DIR. Partridge, of No. 10 Fifth avenue, who
has been attending Mr.. Garrett in this city,
admitted yesterday that the subject of Jay
Gould was one which Mr.. Garrett troubled
himself about too much, and that he was
not very friendly to that financier
1T is only the natural impulse of man
mentally upset." said DR.. Partridge, ''to
constantly recur to the real or imaginary
cause OF his trouble, and this has been the
case with Mr.. Garrett The quantity of
morphine which it has been found necessary
to administer to him has been reduced one
third since he came to New York, which
shows that he is getting better, as that de.
creased amount produces the same effects
az the large quantities l think perfect rest
and quiet will do much to aid his recovery"
DIR. Partridge visited the patient twice
yesterday and found no material change in
his condition. No decision has yet been
arrived at by Mrs. Garrett as to where to
take her husband for the rest of the sum-
mer. She i'll hopes to be able to get away
before the end of this week. Mr.. Garrett
will be accompanied by the trained nurses
now guarding him and by the others of the
party. He travels with large retnue, in
Guiding a private masseur who accom-
panied him around the world, his private
secretary, and frequently a private ply
slcian, besides a valet, coachman and any
number of domestic servants
Among the callers yesterday were DR.. J.
F. Perkins, William Gilmore and Charles
f. Mayer. all of Baltimore. None of them
was admitted to the presence of Mr.. Gar
rett excepting Mr.. Mayer, who is president
of the Consolidated coal company and a
director of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
way.
RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y, Aug. g.
There has been much quiet gossip and talk
here, ever since Robert CARROTS departure,
of his remarkable actions during the two or
three days Immediately preceding his leav-
ing. Two instances in particular would
seem to show that be had, Temporarily at
least, monomania on the subject of the
sale of the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph
company to the Western Union. Every
effort has been made to preserve his actions
and expressions on this subject from pub
licity, but one or two stories have been re-
peated now to so many persons that they
have come to be, to certain extent, public
property.
One story is that Mr.. Garrett called a
newsboy to him one morning, and pulling
out a roll of bills said: Here, boy, I'll
give you $40 to go in front of the hotels
and shout, jay Gould ought to be in Sing
Sing" Another morning it is said Mr..
Chaplin, newspaper correspondent, spoke
to Mr.. Garrett at the Spring house, when
the latter turned suddenly and asked: "Are
you detectiveF
mo, certainly not, replied Mr.. Chaplin.
Il believe you are" said Mr.. Garrett,
land that you're sent here by Jay Gould.
If could prove it, I'd shoot you"
Mr. Garrett then became SO violent and
excited that Mr.. Chaplin left him hurriedly.
1t will he remembered that just prior to
Mr.. CARROTS departure on his tour around
the world he talked in the same way rela-
tive to Mr.. Gould, and it is said here that
his friends fear he may become a mono
maniac on this subject
