attempt was made to wreck the Peunsyl
vania limited passenger tram near Canton
about midnight. Pieces of iron were
tightly wedged into a switch near the little

passed safely over the obstruction, but
the unusual iolting caused the train men
to be alarmed and they reported the mat.

cause and stopped the limited before 1t

WASHINGTON, April 3.--The appoint.
ment of Ellis A. Roberts as assistant
treasurer at New York was made without
his knowledge, and there is now some
doubt as to his acceptance of the office.
The death of Assistant Treasurer McCue
made 1t essential that there should be as
little delay as possible in the qualification
of his successor. The situation is further
complicated by the change in the office of
United States treasurer. Mr.. Huston has
telegraphed he will be in Washington by
the end of the present week. but so far
has not indicated when he will qualify and
relieve Mr.. Hyatt. There is an impress
sion at the department hat he will delay
qualifying until after the affairs in the
New York Office have been settled, which
will at least take five weeks. A declina-
ton on the part of Roberts will delay
matters still further.

never to enter his doors again. This is
the second attack made on Reber by
Wilson during the past four weeks, friends

Sad mIness or edwin Rooth.

RocHE~TER, N y, April 3.-Edwin
Booth was stricken with paralysis during
his appearance in OHeHo to night, and
is dangerously i'll. Mr.. Barrett later APP
peared before the audience and spoke as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I am called
upon to perform the most painful duty of
my life. Mr.. Booth has sustained a NOR
tai stroke of paralysis and we fear this is
the beginning of the end. | cannot K
press to you my deep sorrow with which
| make this sad announcement. The
world has probably heard for the last time
the greatest.actor who speaks the English
language. We shall of course cancel
all engagements and | hope we shall be
able to remove him TO his home"
Late to night Mr.. Barrett sent a card
to the Associated Press stating that phys
icians ave assurance that a week or ten
days of absolute rest will restore MIR.
Booth to health.
Favorable Report Regarding Booth.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, April 3.-The Ly-
ceum theater to night was thronged from
orchestra rail to dome. 1t was the night
of Booth Barrett; the two great TRACE
dams were to present the story of
"Othello." the Moor. Intense interest
accompanied the play from the moment
the curtain swung up, and none of the
hundreds who scanned the face of Mr..
Booth noted any warning of what was so
soon to befall him. He was thought
never before to have been seen in this
city more nearly at his best than tonight
as "Iago." The fortunes of the dusky
Moor and his crafty fellow had progressed
through the first act, followed with deep
interest and keen enjoyment by the
throng IN front. "lago" seemed 1.-THE
and active with perfect life. The curtain
went down before a house whose hush of
perfect attention then broke and relapsed
into hearty applause.
While the second act was preparing
MIR. Booth, though u~ttering no complaint,
is now known to have felt an approaching
elimination of oppressive heaviness that
for several DAYS has rendered him no little
discomfort. He went on. however, and
progressed nearly through the act with
his usual facility. He was urging his
physical powers by a strong will and at
the call for the last scene in the second
act his will succumbed to physical weak
ness, a slight dizziness that for several
days had tormented him greatly, in
creased. Darkness came upon him. His
attendant and others observed something
amiss and sprang to his assistance. A
physician was hurriedly called and after a
hasty examination expressed fear that
Mr.. Booth had sustained a shock of par
tial paralysis. This alarmed Mr.. Barrett
and he determined to dismiss the au-
dience.
He was greatly overcome by what he
considered the dangerous illness of his
colleague, and when he stepped before
the curtain he was greatly excited. The
condition of Mr.. Booth, it seems, did no
fully justify Barrett speech. There had
been no attack OF paralysis, the actor was
suffering no pain. Reporters we're not
allowed to see Mr.. Booth at the hotel,
and Mr.. Barrett would not talk; but the
business manager Of the company said
MIR. Booths illness was not serious enough
to Justify alarm. He said the compauy's
engagement for the rest of the week, and
possibly nexF, would be cancelled.
