q good support. Mrs Rignod appears as May

julius Cesar drew a good though not en-
tirely full, house, on Saturday evening, and the
performance deserves very favorable notice.

characters were almost uniformly good and the
play, in all it's appointments was effective and
satisfactory. MIR. Benefits Cdssius Ito quote

The Infamous Plot against Harlranft.

STATEMENT BY cHAs t. YERKEa, JR.-A MOST TRI-
UMPHANr MEDICATION OF HONEST JOHN.
After his pardon, aud release, on Friday,
Charles t. Yerkes Jr., made full and explicit
statement furnishing full and decisive disproof
OF the charge that General Hartranft speculated
in stocks with the State funds, a charge which
had been again and again made.
The statement proves that the scandal was
originated by Paine as screen for the notorious
and hlgfant Evans fraud;
THAT tile financial account Of the State
was kept in the usual and legimate manner;
that Mr.. Mackey never gave an order to
Mr.. Yerkes to buy any stock Whatever;
that neither General Harrauft nor Mr..
Mackey speculated with the State funds in any
way;
that the signature to the affidavit charg-
ing General HarIranft with malfeasance in Of
