EDWIN BOOTH INDISPOSED.
Lawrence Barrett Gets Excited and
Makes Misleading Speech.

During the Booth Barrett performance of
"Othello" at Rochester, n. Y, last night. Ed
win Booth became indisposed, and at first it
WAS thought he had stroke of paralysis. The
performance was stopped and the audience
was dismissed. Lawrence Barrett seems to
have become excited by the misfortune of his
collaboration. He went before the curtain and
in a voice choked with emotion made a speech
depicting Mr.. Booths condition as much worse
than it afterward proved to be. Mr.. Barrett
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: am calle upon TO
perform the most painful duty Of my life. My
colleague has shown symptoms of breaking
down for three on four days past. and his con-
ditiOn is serious that it is impossible for him
to act. We had hoped that he would rally from
this attack and that he would be able to play
his part tonight, but one of your physicians
DIR. Sumner. says that it would be perilous for
him to attempt it. MIR. Booth has sustained
partial stroke of paralysis, and we fear that this
is the beginning of the end. / cannot express
to you the 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 that
we shall be able to remove Mr. Booth to his
home. 1t pains me to speak these words.
am sorry to disappoint this great audience. but
the play cannot go on. 1t would be presump-
tuous for me to undertake to fill the place of
this great man whom you have come to see and
hear. and it would be worse than useless to at
tempt to proceed further
Notwithstanding this gloomy speech, Mr..
Booth was able to walk from the theater to his
carriage, and on arrival at his hotel alighted
and went to his room without assistance. Re-
pOrters were not allowed to see Booth. and Bar
rett refused to talk. but Mr.. Bromley. business
manager of the company, said that Mr.. Booths
illness was not serious enough to justify alarm.
He said the company's engagements for the
rest OF the week. and possibly next, would be
cancelled. but he hoped to go on usual after
MIR. Booth had been given a brief rest.
Late last night Mr.. Barrett requested that
the following be sent out by the Associated
Press: Since his return to the hotel Edwin
Booth is easier, and the doctor gives every as
snrance that week or ten days of absolute rest
will restore him to his usual health"
Mr.. Booth became i'll during the second act

quiesced, andhe deliberately completed sill his
preparations, which included going some dis
lance in search Of a priest, to whom he made
his last confession. Then he came back home.
got his gun, and went out into the woods and
shot himself. Avery sad instance was that of
with his frst-born child. a spirited, active boy
OF some eight months old, at the open window
of his suite Of apartments, which was situated
on the fourth floor. The baby, in the gayety
and excitement Of the sport, made a sudden
spring, escaped from his fathers clasp, and fell
headlong to the pavement OF the court. The
wretched parent gave one glance at the lifeless
little form lying on the cruel stones below, and
then turned from the window took loaded
pistol from its case, and blew his brains out.

O'Hara Condemned for Burying q Child
volk Had Refused to Bury.
The Undertakers' Association. of Hudl
son county, at a meeting in Roche's Hal
last night. found Coroner O'Hara, of Ho-
boken, guilty of unprofessional conduct
About the beginning Of the present
month, a three-year-old child named
Cline fell out of the third story window
of the house No. 98 Clinton street,
Hoboken, and was killed.
Undertaken A. J.Volk, of No. 157 Wash
ington street, Hoboken, took charge of
the body and put it on ice. The little
ones life was insured, and Volk thought
he was sure of getting his fees. He kept
the body for three days, but as the insur-
ance money did not materialiZe, and as
the father of the dead child was penni-
less, Volk took the body off the ice and
refused to bury it.
Overseer of the Poor Miller then ap-
pealed to Coroner O'Hara and asked him
to bury the little one. O'Hara did so and
was paid for his trouble the
next day. the money from the
insurance company having been
paid to the father of the child. Volk
thought it was wrong for O'Hara to take
charge of a funeral which he (Volk) had
abandoned, and on that account brought
the charge against O'Hara of which, as
above stated, he was convicted. O'Hara
will probably be let off with light fine.

NO SIGNS OF PEACE.
Dock Companies Are Obdurate-The Men
Demand More Strikes.

DOCK Companies Are ODdurate-The Men
Demand More Strikes.
By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, August 30, 1889. com
mittee of the striking dockyard laborers
held meeting last night which was pre-
sided over by John Burns.
AS the result of the meeting a circular
was issued early this morning solemnly
appealing to workers of every calling in
London to strike on Monday
unless the dock companies shall
in the meantime concede the
final demands of their striking employees,
to wit.-sixpence an hour for ordinary
work, and eightpence an hour for over
time, the latter to count from six O'Clock
in the evening until eight in the morn
ing.
Under the contract system the de-
mands are for eight pence an hour for
ordinary work and shilling an hour for
overtime, no man to be employed less
than four hours. A mass meeting of
strikers will be held in Hyde Park on
Sunday.
The dock companies are still obdurate
with regard to the single point in dispute
the increase of wages as demanded by
the men--and the Indications are any
thing but favorable for an immediate set
tlement of the strike.
