- transition. that OF
the celebrated actor, from the histrionic
boards 10 the tomb Of death; yet so far
as the physician was concerned Mr..
Barrett's death was not without
foreshadowing. Wednesday evening
Dr. L. II. Chambers was summoned 20
Mr.. Barretts room The latter CON
planned TO the physician of cold. and
wondered whether it would preclude
the possibility of his performing that
night He insisted upon going 10 .he
theater. but as he was taken with q
chill he was forced to return home.
At II o'clock that night DR.. Chambers
was again summoned and found Mr..
Barrett with high fever and q rapid
pulse. A thorough examination re-
vealed no pneumonia, which the ply
sician was fearful would prove
fatal should it set in. II was
Thursday that the first indication of
pneumonia manifested itself, and DR..
Chambers, fearing the worst, tele-
graphed for Mrs. Barrett, who was in
Boston Mrs. Barrett arrived at her
husbands bedside Thursday evening.
Mr.. Barrett's family physician, DR.. Oil
yer, Of Boston, was likewise telegraphed
for and arrived Friday morning.
The two physicians made 4 careful
examination. and found that pneumonia
had developed in the right lung. The
patients temperature Friday morning
was ioSN. pulse 100, respiration huctu-
ating between 80 and SO. Another
consultation was held in the after
noon, there being no change. An
appointment was then made be-
tween tho physicians 10 meet
again for consultation at 10 o'clock
at night Between the hours OF 5 and
10 o'clock Mr.. Barrett's temperature
had risen TO los, while his pulse had
grown pcrccptibly weaker. At 10
o'clock Drs. Chambers and Oliver went
tn Mr.. Barretts room. At this time
Mr.. Barrett was in a comatose con-
dition, from which, however, he was
reused and appeared to be entirely
conscious of his surroundings. Soon
there was an evident failing, and at
iO:45 the actor breathed his last.
The performance ut the broadway
theater had terminated before the news
of Mr.. Barrctt's death was received by
members Of the company Mr.. Booth
had gone TO his rooms at the
Players club and retired for the
night But he was aroused
and went Immediately TO the

taken TO Boston and inferred there.

Williams, has arrived from there. Re-
ligious services will be held over the

THE WORLD or POLITICS.
Hon. !. sIoat rassett speaks TO AIban,
Republicans.

ALBANY, Oct 29.-Fully 5000 people
crowded Hamannis Bleecker hall last
night TO hear Messrs Fassett and Vrooman
speak. The enthusiasm was the greatest
of any place yet visited. Mr. Fassett when
introduced said, alluding to the Union
college boys yell. II accept @e omen and
believe that the csllege anS universities Of
the state are represented as against Tam
many Hail. The speaker alluded to the
great display of enthusiasm and said that
he believed that the spring Of it all was
the cause Of good government against bad.
The party Of good government was GER
tainly the Republican party The people
were looking for good government and
Tammany Hall, which stood for bad gov
ernment would find il out. There was no
cause for discussion Of national issues
They were discussing themselves in the
sale Of every egg, every garment aud every
mechanical instrument.
Mr.. Fassett reviewed the measures Of
relief to the public, notably the taxation
bills and mechanics lien law. 1T is a
Democratic lie, = be declared, ito say that
the Democrats were responsible for the
low tax rate Of last year IL is a Governor
Hill lie, campaign lie, a Democratic
platform lie." He described Governor
XIII ab iiiliH luiuEeb surrounded D4 a
Chinese wall described as ~ ag Demo
crat.n Continuing he said; "Mr Hill mis-
takes issues. 1t is as il he said the slay-
ing of Jim Fisle by Ed Stokes was the
cause of the abrogation Of hanging, or
that because JEFF Davis wore petticoats is
why am governor, or be might tell you
that because Ed Stokes and Dick Croker
have each killed their man is the reason
why they are leaders in Tammany. In ex.
planning that the Republican party is alone
responsible for the low tax rate, he said
that it was caused by the passage by Re
publicans Of the collateral inheritance law
and the corporation tax law. To the
question, "How about organized laborfi'
asked by an auditor, the speaker said
There never was a single bill TO benefit
organized labor passed by Democratic
legislature" aud then the speaker pro.
ceeded to compliment labor, taking credit
to himself for the mechanics creditor law
and prison labor bill
