dispatch received here from New York last
evening states that w. K Brockway alias E. w.
Spencer, indicted with George 81. Smith for en-
bezzlihg dies plates, &C., from which it is alleged
the s, 600 bonds found In possession OF Doyle were
printed. was arrested there yesterday afternoon
and would be before q. 8. Commissioner to-day
It Is stated that Brockway, on his recent visit
here, made clean breast TO Secretary Folger, ac-
knowiedging his connection with the business and
giving the names Of some OF the officers OF the
Treasury through whose connivance the plates
were obtained Charles III. Smith, the confessed
accomplice OF William Brockway, the counter
fefter, was re-arrested In New York yesterday on
new Indictment procured In this city upon the tes-
t1mony OF Col. W. P. Wood, ex-chief OF the secret
service department. who charges him and Brock
way with having em6ezzled certain parts of plates
from the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing, and
OF having used them to print spurious U. s. bonds
Inc Indictment was first procured In the name OF
Charies II. Smythe, but the prisoner was dis
charged by Judge Benedict on the ground OF mis-
homer. The commissioner leaned to the view that,
having been indicted, the prisoner could not claim
an examination on the merits OF the case, but
must necessarily be taken to Washington on a
warrant of removal 1t is said, however, that the
question has never been decided. Commissioner
Allen yesterday consented to adjourn the prelimi-
nary hearing until Thursday. Meanwhile Smith
was permitted to renew his late bail for &, GOO.

The Lawrence Barrett Club at the
NATIONAL.


One OF the most successful performances OF the
season was given at the National Theater last
evening by the Lawrence Barrett Dramatic Club
for the benefit Of the Washington Light Infantry
Corps "Julius Caesar" was rendered in a manner
that would reflect credit upon professionals The
stage setting, the costuming and the caste were
all excellent. The audience was very large, every
efforts OF the young tragedians was shown in ire
quent and prolonged applause The National
Rifles, In full dress UNIFORM occupied two rows Of
seats in the orchestra At the close OF the first act
Lieut. DanenhOwer, accompanied by his father
and several other members OF his family, appeared
In box. He was at once recognized by the audi
ence and was greeted with applause and cheers,
which were so prolonged that he was COM
PEELED to twice bow his acknowledgements.
Between the fourth ana fifth acts company of
the Washington Light Infantry in full dress
gave an exhibition drill This was, without doubt,
the finest performance Of the kind ever seen in
Washington. The clock-lke regularity with which
the thirty-two men went through the manual was
really wonderful. The curtain fell amidst ire
mendous applause, which continued until the
curtain again rose, showing the same company in
fatigue uniform. A still more difficult exhibition
was then given In the cast OF the play Mr..
Charles B. Hanford in the role of CdSSfus, and
Mr. James A. MahOney as Julius Caesar, were
very good indeed. It is learned that both OF these
as profession, and II they continue as they have
begun their future success is assured. The per-
formances OF Clarence B. Rheem B,1ttus, and
William A. Lackey as Marc antony, were also
very creditable. "The Merchant OF Venice" will
be given this evening.
