Entertainments.


 There was large audience at the New Ha- ven Opera House last evening to witness MT. Frank Mayo and his excellent company in the new version of f'The Royal Guard" No two characters could be more dissimilar than tWaldemar Nordeekn and stD'Artagnan, ," and yet Mir. Mayo is equally successful in both impersonations. The reckless, ragged, rob- licking Gascon adventurer of last night was earnest and chivalric German nobleman of Tuesday evening. Both characters and both dramas pleased their audiences bet ter and called forth more deserved applause than any play given here this season. The story of tsThe Royal Guard" and the adventures of stD'Artagnan" and his good sword "Bobby" is familiar one. On the stage he follows similar fortunes, fights duels, assists the persecuted queen, makes love to Constance" and thus the interest never flags. The play has been greatly i'm proved in it's construction since it was given here last season, and continued presentations are sure to increase it's popularity. Its great est charm lies in the fact that MT. Mayo seems to appreciate and enjoy it's humor full ly as much ss do his auditors. The company were as-effsctive as on Tuesday evening, Miss Alice Fisher deserving special mention for her excellent portrayal of "Lady dc Winter. :" This evening 'Davy Crockett" will be given and large audience is sure to be present to see this charming idyn which has made for this talented actor both fame and fortune.
 THE WAITS OF NEW YORK.
 N. s. Wood will this evening commence a three days engagement at Bunnell's Grand Opera House in "The Waifs of New York, 1" 8 play which cannot fail to please the most fastidious theater-goer. It >abounds in stir ring scenes of metropolitan life and is comi- cal and amusing as well.
 THE IVY LEAF.
 Friday and Saturday evenings with a Sat urday matinee the ''Ivy Leaf' will be pre- scented at the New Haven Opera House by Mir. W. H. Powers excellent company. It is pretty story of love, and right triumph ant over avarice and villainy.
 A GRASS WIDOW.
 This farcescomedy will be produced at the Hyperion on Friday and Saturday. The New York Herald says: The opinion first voiced in the metropolis has been re:echoed in every American city where the piece has been produced. Mr. Parsloe has worked the piece to the front on it's merits. His success in the "Danites" and "My Partner" he has evidently repeated with IA Grass Widow" in which he presents novelty in the person of Chinese dude.

THE DIss DEBARs IN oOuRr.

An Expoae Of Ihe Scheme For S4ueez.
 ing simple Lawyer Marsh Out of His
 Property.
 NEW YORK, April 1e.-Lawyer Marsh's spiritualistic deluders, Annie OiDelia Diss Debar, General" Diss Debar, Dr. Benjamin Lawrence and Frank Lawrence, were arr raigned before Justice Kilbreth in the Tombs this afternoon in the presence of crowd which packed the court room. The first wit ness called was Mir. Solomon, the brother of the alleged "princess." He said that she was his sister and was born in Mercer county, Ky, February 8, 1849. In addition he identified a portrait of the woman's daughter who is now fourteen years old and is named Messant, not Diss Debar. Annie OiDelia had left her home in 1869 or 1870 and he said that she tez. Mir. Solomon exhibited several of his sisters letters, mainly appeals for money. Once she appealed so piteously that he came on here to comfort her for the loss of her daughter, who, she had wired, was dead. Strangely enough at Bound Brook he met both mother and daughter. All three came to New York and Solomon says he talked to his sister and argued with her. She promised to give up this 'Princsss Editha hocus -pocus- Lola Montez business" This was in 1878 and some months later she wrote for money and assured him that the name of Messant was that of tke man to whom she was mar ried. In October last he saw his sister and acres of land in Westchester county, 8 banking house at No. AS Wall street and what was MT. Marsh's house at No. 166 Madison avenue. As soon as he went to MT.
 Marsh's house, or what was formerly his house, he knew something was wrong and went to MT. Marsh and warned him that his sister was an adventures. On cross-exam- ination Solomon announced that he was formerly in the lottery business in Kentucky and had in the course of his life been arrest- ed forty-eight times, forty-ssven times for drunkenness and once for forgery, when he was honorably discharged. He frankly owned up to have been drunk in every city he had ever visited, to an acquaintance with the workhouse in Kentucky and to sen- tence of five months on the island imposed
 by a New York justice. Her sister was prompting the lawyer, who drew all this out of him, and he returned her sisterly action by remarking that she never told the truth. He also added that when be lost sight of her he knew tsshe was raising hell somewhere
 James w. Randolph followed Solomen. Randolph testified that on March 31 he wrote Mir. Marsh proposing himself Randolph) an Annie O'Delia's agent. Two days later he met the woman, young Lawrence introducing him. She asked him if he was the Boston Randolph and he replied af6rmatively. She said she had once met him in Boston and then he, MT. Marsh and two others went in to look at Mir. Msrsh's spirit-paintings. Wit ness knew at glance that the pictures were common and cheap daubs in oil. About
 this time reporter suggested the danger of exposure to Mr. Randolph and he asked the princess if the reporters would not .smix Mr.. Marsh up.' ssLeave that to me, she answered. "Tge l told Mir. Marsh that the angel Gabriel told

CAUGHT FOR HALF A mILLEON.


 A Bear On the St. Louis ,Chauge Had
 Iy Squeezed.
 ST. LOUIS, April 18.-There was a great furry on Change this morning when Moses Fraley, one of the heaviest traders in grain, began his effort to make settlement and it was learned he could pay up no more mar gins and that his checks given yesterday af- ter banking hours had failed to pass. It was soon learned that he was short about 2,000, 900 bushels of May corn on the St. Louis board, 2,50O, ,0OO bushels on the Chi cago board and 3,500.0OO bushels of wheat on the board of St. Louis and Chicago. MT. Fraley has been determined bear, but the market has been constantly going against him, corn having risen from 441s to 522s and wheat from 74114 to 84 5-S. There have been exorbitant drains on him for margins. This morning he announced his intention of clearing out his deals and he bought 1,000,- 900 bushels of wheat at 82 34 and S3. It is stated that he pursued a similar course in Chicago and General L. F. Grier was holder of between 400, ,O00 and 800, 900 bushels of corn and MT. Fraley called upon him before the board and tried to effect 6 settlement. A settlement at 31Sc. under the market was offered. The difference between Chicago and St. Louis is usually less than five cents. When the market opened there was an effort to bid up the price and it was thought General Grier was at the bottom of it and was trying to squeeze Fraley to death. Many operators re- fused to trade with Grier, but his announce ment that he had no intention of taking ad- vantage had quieting effect. At Il o'clock MT. Fraley announced that he had closed out his deals. The basis of settlement with Grier was 52 cents. An effort was made to bid up wheat, but a sale of 800, 900 bushels by Francis & Bro at S4 and S3X stopped the advance. A prominent member of the board said this morning that Fraley told him that he had already put up $5So, ,0O6 in margins and had determined to risk no more. When asked to day as to his losses MT. Fraley said: 'tThey got me for big amount. For the last few months they got me for over half a million" A friend estimates Mr. Fraley' s wealth before this crisis at over $750, ,00O.
