EDWIN BOOTH STRICKEN.

The Greatest Engiish-Speaking Actor
Compelled to Halt in His Work By q Par.
tial Stroke of Paralysls-Lawrence Bar.
ret's Announcement of the Painful
Event-AH Present Engagerncnts Can
ceied-Tne Future Uncertain.
ROCHESTER. Il. Y, April 4.-The large
audience assembled at the Lyceum The
alter last night to see Booth and Barrett in
Othello, experienced sad shock and Bit
ter disappointment. Booth went on in
the first act as Iago, and spoke his lines
without apparent difficulty, and the
audience did not suspect any thing wrong.
At the end of the second act when it was
time for him to go on again, slight dir
illness, with which he had been troubled
for two or three days, began to be serious,
and physician was called in, who exam
ined the actor and pronounced his illness
too serious to permit him to attempt to go
on with the performance. The doctor ex-
pressed fear that he had sustained a
shock of partial paralysis, which so
alarmed Mr.. Barrett that he determined
to dismiss the audience. Mr.. Barrett was
greatly overcome by what he considered
the dangerous illness of his colleague,
and when he stepped before the curtain
it was evident that he was deeply excited.
Mr.. Barrett spoke as follows, his utter
ance being interrupted by his emotion:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: am called upon
to perform the most painful duty of my life.
My colleague has shown symptoms of break
ing down for three or four days past. and his
condition tonight is serious that 1t is i'm
possible 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. DR.. Sumner, says that it would
be perilous for him to attempt 1t.
Mr.. Booth has sustained partial stroke of
paralysis, and we fear that this is the begin
ming Of the end. can not express to you the
deep sorrow with which make this sad an
nouncement. 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. I am sor-
ry to disappoint this great audience. but the
play can not go on. 1t would be presumptuous
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. / know you will be
lndulgent, and that you will fully appreciate
the sad plight in which placed. The
management will make such arrangements as
may seem best for refunding your money!
The condition of Mr.. Booth did not fully
justify this speech. There had been no
attack of paralysis, and the actor was
suffering no pain. He walked from the
theater to his carriage, and was driven to
his hotel, when he walked without ap-
parent difficulty from the carriage to the
elevator and to his room.
The Lyceum Theater management loses
s, 900, which will have to be made good by
the company. The sale of seats amount
ed to over s. 900, and was the largest sale
the company has had this season.

Dakota Farmers for Seed wheat-Some
Idea of the Extent of the Fires.
MINNEAPoLIS, Mimi, April ga tele-
gram signed by L. v. Ives, mayor of st.
Lawrence, Oak, was received at the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday, asking
for aid for the farmers of thatregion. Mr..
Ives stated that the terrible prairie fires
which had swept through that part of the
country had destroyed all the property in
that region and left the farmers destitute.

something toward purchasing q fresh
supply of seed wheat, which the farmer
must have at once.
A dispatch from Yankton says tho
losses in that county will amount to $40, :.
600. Seventy-fve families were burned

New York, April 6.-The World saws
Russell B. Harrison is in town making
arrangements to prevent a suit brought
against him by SCHUYLER Crosby, former
ly Governor of Montana. A conferences
was held yesterday between Mr.. Sweetzer
and Mr.. Nicol, counsel for the respective

Edwin Booths Condition.

New YORK, April 5.-Edwin Booth ar
rived from Rochester at 1880 p m. yester-
day, and was met by his physician, DR..
st. Clair Smith. The two took a carriage
and drove to the Players Club. Mr.. Booth
was in good spirits, but not very robust.
He took supper at the club, and sat up
until quite late, chatting with friends.
DR.. Smith confirms the statement that
Mr.. Booth sustained partial stroke of
paralysis, and thinks the attack was
brought on by excessive smoking. He
has directed the patient to remain in
doors for awhile, keeping quiet and rest
ing, He thinks Mr.. Booth will in this
way regain his strength and be able to re-
sure his engagements.
