Fulton Handicap. of the value of 5000
for 3-year-olds. The former event was
won by Ben Brush, the favorite. without
the semblance Of an effort, by two lengths
from CresenGO, with Handspring third.

No Evidence to Proceed Upon.

The fact that the grand jury that in
dicted Cardwell for classifying his books
NJ the state Bank took no formal action
with reference to MIR. Nelson. who over
drew his account, has caused GOOD
deal OF common. and inquiry has been
made through the press why such was
the case. Inquiry into the matter yester-
day developed the fact that the grand
Jury did inquire into Nelson's case as WI
as Cardwells, and would have taken
similar action relative to both, except
that IL is no crime to overdraw ones
bank account. unless with fraudulent in
tent; and while it was not denied that
Nelson did Overdrsw his account. the
commonwealth had no evidence. ana
could get none. that he did so fraudn-
!ently. Therefore. no indictment could
be found
The grand jury also considered the
Winston deed transaction, but determined
that there was no ground for action.
