Barrett pleads I6r one more year on the stage. PrrCIAL TILIGKAM TO THE DISPATCH. Boston, February 8. The departure of Lawrence Barrett for Europe makes It pos sible to publish, for the first time, the par ticulars of the physical disaster which has compelled him to re tire from the stage. It was known that sn enormous swelling under his chin had so disfigured him as to ?'' unfit him for the im- personations of dram atic heroes who ought to be sightly, and that he had at last been compelled to stop acting in the middle of the season, disband a company engaged in the representation of a new drama, lose a heavy investment of money in scenery, cos tumes and other expenses of an elaborate theatrical enterprise, and snbmit himself to the sureedns. Once before his ailment had incapacitated him, but a long stay at a German watering place had relieved him considerably, and he had returned to the mimic life of the stage. But very quickly a swelling began to foim ngaiu at the front of his neck, and thib in creased steadily in size until it transformed his facial lines into veritable caricature. One night he exclaimed to a member of his company, between the acts of "Ganelon," in response to an effort to belittle his ugli ness: "I'm fit to be an exhibit in a dime museum, but not to act .tragic parts. lean see the people examining me through their glasses in amazement and disgust." TO BOSTON TOE HELP. Mr. Barrett is a sensitively proud gentle man. He resolved to take himself at once ironi public sight, and have recourse to that Eurgical treatment which had been too long delated. Thereupon the company was dis banded, and the tragedian went to Boston for help. At Xo. 2 Louisbnrg square, which leads from Mt Vernon street, the northern boundary of the gilt-domed Capitol on Beacon street, is an old-fashioned brick building, whose front windows overlook a email oval-shaped park. The plot is in closed by a high iron fence, whose palings are in the shape of spear head.!. There is so opening in these formidable barriers, and So one knows how long it has been since hu man foot trespassed upon the almost sacred ground. At one end of the space stands a m prnnite statu of Diogenes, and at the other, Columbus, done in marble. The bnildint is known as the dispensary ot St. Margaret's Hospital, an institution supported by patients who go there for treatment It is presided over by the Sisters of St Margaret, an order belonging to the Episcopal Church, who first came to this country 16 years ago. A pull at the big silver-plated doorbell summoned a neat appearing servant girl. A card was passed to her and she disappeared up a long flight ol stairs whose further terminus was lost in the darkness. The writer betook himself to a large parlor which led off the hallway to the richt, and made a leisurely survey of the surroundings while waiting for a reply from above. The room was high-studied and fur- sisheJ very sparingly with old-fashioned chairs, a center-table, a wire flower-stand, two little cabinets ot books, an ancient-looking so'a, and snow-white lace curtains; while on the great wall-spaces were hung a few pictures on religious subjects. TWO OPEBATIOXS rnEFOEMED. After the lapse of not more than a minnte fi trim little woman, dressed in a gray habit and scapula, with a big black cross hanging from a cord about her neck, appeared in the broad doorway and soltly inquired of what service she could be. "Is this the place where Lawrence Barrett was treated?" inquired the writer. "It is," was the response in the same vel Tety voice. "Will you kindly inlorm me as to his con dition upon his departure for Europe?" "I understand that he is e-ettin? alone as comfortably as could be expected nnder the circumstances. After going away Irom here he resided at the Hotel Vendotne. I sup pose you know that there were two opera tions performed on his neck ? Yes, he was here twice, but I understand he does not want bis second visit made public " His second coming to the hospital war on the 16th of last December, and he left on the 2itb. Then he came back on the 6th of Jan uary, had another operation, and le t again in the middle of the month. His attending physicians were Surgeon Morris H. Bich rdson, of 221 Beacon street, and Dr. J. P. Oliver, ot the Hotel Berkeley, who made the diagnosis. It was a very skillful and successful treatment of Mr. Barrett's dis ease, to says our Sister Superior." "What was Mr. Barrett's mental condi tion while with you?" CHEERFUL IN HIS TROUBLE. "He was very cheerful at all times and full of fun. I saw him standing at the win dow one day, and asked him how he felt and he replied: 'As well as ever; haven't yon seen me titivating for the young ladies opposite?' One day I was conversing in a low tone with his wife, and he wanted to know what we were talking about Im plied: 'Oh, these are only stage whispers,' sot-realizing at the moment that he was a'n actor. He saw the joke at once, and joined ,in the laughter which the reply evoked. He anient a letter to the Superior the other day, in whirh he expressed great hope of the future and a belief that he was forever rid oi bis terrible affliction. His appetite was very good indeed while here. During the two days after the operations he took noth ing but broth, but from that time he ate any thing his appetite called for." After thanking the soft-voiced sister for her information, the writer next went over to the Yendome, where it was learned that he had occupied a suite of rooms on the second floor, on the Commonwealth avenue side, almost opposite the handsome statue of Garrison, the pioneer of Abolitionism. He lived here quietly with his wife and daueh ter, and was seldom seen outside his rooms. On two occasions he went for a short walk and returned looking as if the exercise had done him no end of good. He did not go down to his meals, for the fatigue would have been too great, and the liability of sit ting in a draught might have resulted dan geronsly. THETBAGEDIAN'S PBOGBAMME. Mr. Barrett and his family will remain in .Europe a year. They will pass the winter at Pan, in the south of France, and next summer go to Kreuznach, Germany, a fa jaont watering place. His daughter is tie wife of Mary Anderson' brother, and he .will have their society a part of the time. The next place visited by your correspond ent was the Hotel Berkeley., Dr. Oliver was caught on the first landing, dressed to make an official call, and -was somewhat surprised when he learned the nature of the writer's errand. "Who sent yon here?" was his first in quirv. "I came at the bidding of a dispatch. The public is interested in Mr. Barrett's case, and it is believed a great deal has been gos siped of ap unreliable nature. It is de sirable to hear from your own lips the char acter, progress and origin of the difficulty that has so seriously threatened the lite of the actor. Are you willing to give me the desired information?" "I wonld much rather you see Dr. Bich ardson, whose nnmber is " "Bat I have been to bis house, and he said to me that, as you made the diagnosis, it would not be pro essional courtesy for him to speak on that phase of the matter." "Very well, then. As to the nature of Mr. Barrett's disease you ma,y say that it is a chronic enlargement of the lymphatic glands. Tbere were 116 of the enlargements, 64 being removed at the first operation from the Tight side of the neck, and 52 at the sec ond from the left side. These glands varied in size from a filbert to a horsechestnut The first incision was made just under the ngnc ear, ana extended to the middle or the throat The flesh was then laid over on the cheek, and the way Dr. Bichardson cut showed him to be one ot the most skillful surgeons I ever saw. He used a little in strument of his own invention which he calls the 'joker,' BLOOD LN GOOD CONDITION. "It was a most dangerous undertaking, for all the arteries and nerves of the neck were laid bare, including the jugular vein, but the patient rallied quickly from the se vere ordeal. We kept the opening carefully washed with antiseptic fluids, to prevent the formation of germs, and all went as well as could be wished. Before the operation we consulted a famous expert. Dr. Eisk, and found that Mr. Barrett's blood was in the best possible condition. In all lymphatic diseases there is a tendency toward blood weakness. There are two kinds of blood corpuscles white and red and when a per son is afflicted with the trouble under con sideration a great many of the white corpus cles are liable to form, which is followed by a: corresponding decrease of the red ones. But in Mr. Barrett's case all the conditions warranted us in going on with the opera tion. On both occasions, while under onr treatment, there was no variation in the methods pursued. The wounds healed rap idly, and there was not the remotest indica tion of suppuration. After the second oper ation he got about two days earlier than he did after the first one. He had become ac customed to the nerve strength required and prepared himself ahead." "What Is Mr. Barrett's present condi tion?" "He feels as well as ever. He has a ro bust appetite, and looks very little like the man he did a few weeks ago, with the flesh of his neck hanging down upon his coat col lar. It was a terrible sight I saw him the other day, and, placing his hand up nuder his chin, he said: 'Doctor, I feel as if yon had taken all my neck off He i9 as spry as a Kitten, ana says he leels as voung as he did at 20." MB. BARRETT'S FUTURE. "Doctor, have you effected a permanent cure in the case of Mr. Barrett?" "I cannot answer that qnestion. Indeed, I don't wish to say anything about it You know Mr. Barrett is a very ambitious and hard-working man. He feels anxious about his theatrical ventures, and wants to take a hand in their management as soon as pos sible. I told him he must not think of going back upon the stage for a long time, but he replied : 'Just one more year, doctor, and then I shall be satisfied to devote the rest of my life to the manage rial part of the business.' Bat I cautioned him." "Was Mr. Barrett's disease brought on by loud and strenuous elocution ?" The doctor gave a quiet little laugh, and then replied: "Emphatically, no. It was the direct outcome of a great mental strain." Dr. Oliver requested that your correspond ent set the public right in regard to the na ture of Mr. Barrett's trouble. It has been assumed that he was suffering from' goitre, which is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, while the seat of the trouble was really in the fluid glands of the neck. In reference to Mr. Barrett's financial condition, it may be explained that he still retains an interest in the Booth-Modjeska combination, and owns a beautiful residence at Cohasset, on the south shore, on which it is understood there is a heavy mortgage. He made a great deal of money while play ing with Mr. Booth, but the bulk of it went to pav old debts and in the production of "Ganelon," $20,000 being spent iu putting that play upon the stage. His prospective profits will come from the Booth-Modjeska combination and what he realizes from the possible sale of "Ganelon." As to the question whether he will recover or not, time alone can tell. A GAS PATENT SUIT. The Lawyers Make Closing Argu ments in the B. B. Smith Case, HEISEE AND ABBOTT LET 0FP EAY t Ford & Co. Are Sow at Liberty to Sell the Ford City Glass Works. ' OTHER GEflEBAL NEWS OF THE C0UKTS. The case of Boland H. Smith et al against the Pittsburg Gas Company was closed be fore Judge Acheson in the United States Court yesterday. William Bacewell, Esq., who had occupied part of Friday in his ar gument, 'continued for the defense. He claimed the process of Smith was incapable of producing the result claimed, and was useless as a method for making illuminating gas. The patent claimed by Smith is cov ered by prior inventions, and that the pro cesses used by the defendant are different anyway irom the Smith process. The latter is a method forming a gas by a certain process of heating natural gas to de compose hydro-carbon, while the defendant prodnces gas by injecting steam into and through a body of coke, passing a body of water gas and petroleum vapor. In closing his argument he said the Smith patents are limited by tne proceedings in toe Patent Office, ana in the limitations In the specifications and claims themselvessufflclently to exclude the process used by the defendants. Nothing of patentable invention is In the claim by reason of prior invention, as in the cases of the Wilkinson and Critchlow processes. A dif ferent result is produced by defendants in a dif ferent way. George Harding, Eq., of Philadelphia, wound np the case tor the plaintiff by an expo sition of the methods of making the gas by a series of charts and drawings. In his remarks relative to tuem be said the case was not with out parallel in the courts, and cited similar ones tried in Enjlani-The substance produced was not of consequence. It was the method employed. There was a something that had to be got out of natural eas before the Uluminant was produced. Mr. McElroy here interposed that gas could be made from garbage. He did not think It necessary to have natural gas aud its properties in the process in ques tion to produce illuminating gas. Mr. Harding said no, but their appliance made it practicable to oroduce it from natural gas, and that was what was being argued. He said he was entitled to a patent on his appli ance. Skeptics had said the process was no good, bnt its success was Shown them, and even the employment of it at the works of the de fendants was proof en0ugh of its success. Tne manner of nroducing an Uluminant on a small scale was exhibited In the courtroom and explained to Judge Acueson. Mr. McEl roy, with his experienced band, played many tricks with it, making the flame smoke hor ribly or burn clear at his wilL The papers in the case were taken and decision was reserved. R.

An Arrancement ,That Enable It to Ship Mnrylnnd Coal to Eastern Pennsylvania Direct The Clenrfleld Rcclon's Fuel Competitor. Baltimore, February 8. A Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company official gives the following explanation of the silence of President Hood, of the "Western Baltimore Railroad" Company, when the bidding for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was going on, early in the week: A written agreement exists between the two companies that In consideration of advantage ous traffic arrangements afforded by the Balti more and Ohio to the Western Maryland Com pany, the latter will keeD its hands off the canal, thereby not deemed an active competitqr of the Baltimore and Ohio for the product for coal mines in Western Maryland. The traffic ar rangements, which were recently consummated, enable the Western Maryland Company to con nect with the Baltimore and Ohio at Cherry Run, a small unimportant station a lew miles from Williamspyrt, tho present terminus of the Western Maryland. By an extension of the line to Cherry run the Wostern Maryland is thus brought in reach of the commercial fields as effectually as if It had its own tracks along the tow-path to Cumber land. The Western Maryland, by this arrange ment has not become a competitor of the Bal timore and Ohio in carrying coal to Tidewater. It has another market not quite so metropolitan or extensive, but still very desirable. This market is among the large manufacturing cities, and towns of Cen tral and Eastern Pennsylvania from wbiph Maryland coal and coke have been excluded, because of the rouudabout way through Balti more from the coal fields. The Western Mary land will carry the coal received from the Bal timore and Ohio at Cherry Run np throng I'tfae Cumberland Valley tnSbippensbnrg, Pa., where it is received by the Harrisburg and Potomac road, ot the Reading system, and is thence dis tributed throughout Eastern Pennsylvania. By this connection the Maryland coal fields can compete with tne Clearfield region. THE MEXICAN TIN CASE. of a THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE. Five Fayette County Men Acqnltied of the Charge of Blarder.

AGAINST ILLEGAL VOTING. Jadee Single Won't Naturalize Allem Until After tbe Election. Judge Slagle yesterday morning refused to naturalize about 20 applicants. About that number were before him to secure their last papers, when His Honor commenced to ques tion them. Several he asked if they intended to vote at the coming election. They replied that they did. Others said they wanted to be come citizens before applying for liqnor li censes. Juage Slagle did not make, any lengthy re marks, simply stating that he had decided not to naturalize anyone until after the next elec tion. He did not give his reasons, but it was conjectured that he wished to prevent the cast ing of some Illegal votes. The law requires a man to have been a citizen at least 30 days prior to tbe election, and often newly made citizens cast their ballots without regard to that clause. and pass unchallenged.

Commencing to-morrow morning we shall put forth our last and greatest effort in the direction of a speedy clear ance of all Winter Goods still left on our counters. A goodly portion of our spring stock is expected to arrive before the end of this month. Room lots of it will be needed for the new goods. " How will we get it? By selling off what's npw on hand. Easy enough, to be sure, if only the prices, those mighty levers of trade, are low enough. Well, don't rest uneasy on that score. We've made thenrlower than ever before. We've hammered, hammered, hammered them until the very bottom has dropped out, leaving nothing but a small part or fraction of the original ::: value of the goods. Some of the biggest reductions have' been made on ::: MEN'S and BOYS' OVERCOATS. ' - x These we are most anxious to sell hence the cuts we have made on their prices are the deepest. Expect during the next two weeks to buy the finest Overcoats for less money than, the medium qualities were sold for heretofore, and the medium for less than the - .' very cheapestgoods were retailed before. Nor are you required to have any blind faith in this matter. Your qwn eyes (and they won't deceive you) will convince you of the genuineness of our reductions.,' All, you have to do is to look at the ticket attached to each garment The old as well as the new prices are irtarked thereon in plain figures. You can see, think and act for yourself. But whatever you ::: : may do, DCKIT- QUICKLY, for at the prices we now ask we could sell our Overcoats in July. : ::: -fuu-WEfGtfr PURb PRICE'S Baking man.-John K. BbanaDan, Daniel' Jordan, Wm.

Ladies' Newmarkets, "W-raps, Jackets and All Our Plush Garments Are now offered for less money than similar goods have ever been offered in the history of the trade. We are only too. well aware of the danger that lurks in the carrying over of garments so- greatly subject to that fickle goddess, ' Fashion, as Cloaks. If we keep them till next year, we couldn't probably sell them at any price. Don't you think we had better sell them now and save something of the wreck? WE think so and shall act accord ingly. Not a single price will we mention here, but now listen to us come right in any day this 't ' week and take any one of our perfect-fitting, tailor-made Newmarkets or Wraps for half the . - . regular value. You actually pay less for the garments than what it cost to make them. The cloth and trimmings won't cost you a cent Ytfu must confess this is the grandest '" ' and best chance ever presented to the Cloak buyers of Pittsburg and Allegheny. , ' , Our Newly Enlarged Shoe Department - Is the wonder of every patron and the envy of all Shoe dealers.
