JULIUS CESAR AT AIKES's THEATRE.
The performance Of Julius Cesar" at
Aiken's Theatre continues to excite an unusal
degree Of public interest," tho audience last
evening being still larger than that which was

the more thorough memorizng of their parts By
the various actors. further confirm the good i'm

familiarity with the handling Of the elaborate

Of scenic appointments has ever before been

BROUGHT TO TERMS BY THE MAYOR.

The Mayor received doleful letter, from
Wonewoc, Wis, yesterday. 1t was signed by
fourteen men, who had been sent from Chicago
to that place by an immigrant runner, to OBJ
tain employment on 8 tunnel constructing for
. railroad. Their services wero not needed,
and they believed they had been swindled. None
of them hnd any money, and. being unable to
procure employment of any kind, they desired
to-, to knoT how they could get back to this city.
The Mayor sent ont Officer Silver, OF his
staff, to hunt up the immigrant runner,
and he soon found him. The man said
he had received passes for the laborers from
clerk OF Fox & Leib, contractors for the tun-
nel, and had sent them On their way, believing
the firm needed them at the tunnel Fox ds Leib
disclaimed any knowledge Of the issuance Of the
passes; they had not authorized it; and know
nothing of the engagement Of the men. When
told Of the destitute condition Of the 1aborors.
they agreed to pay their expenses back to Chi
cago. The Immigrant runner, who is unlike
others Of his ilh, expressed sorrow at the mg-
take, and said be would return the fees he re-
ceived from the men. The result was tele-
graphed to Wonswoo. and the laborers ero
doubtless happy,

STREET RAILWAY NEWS.

When Hack-1aying MAS begun by the South
Side Railway Company On Clark street, few
weeks ago, it was anticipated by many persons
that cars would be running in 3 few days. Re-
cent developments, however, will Danish all such
anhcipations, and it ia probable that no cars
will be operated on that street until the middle
of next March. The track-laying was done not
with the intention Of running upon it, but to
satisfy the provisions Of the Company's charter
which compelled them to lay the track within
certain time. Most Of the track laid down will
have to. be removed in the spring, because
the raising Of the grade Of Clark and the laying
'posed block pavement have only
completed.
