DIR. FERNANDEZ ACQUITTED.
The Theory of the Prosecution Upset by
Opinions of Medical Exper

The trial of DR.. Fernandez for alleged criminal
practice, terminated abruptly in the Criminal
Court yesterday afternoon. The opinion had
been prevalent that the State was making a
strong case, and the only fear was that it would
be upset by the testimony of medical experts.
The fear proved to be well grounded. The pros
ecuting witness, Miss Vestal, testified that it
was seventeen days after the alleged operation
was performed before she was delivered OF the
f9tus. and Drs. Kitchen, Jameson, Butterfeld
and others, who were called, gave 1t as their
opinion that If that length of time elapsed the
abortion could not have been the result of the
operation performed, as i9Zsuch cases four
days was the maximum limit. Judge
Norton thereupon ordered the jury to bring in a
verdict of acquittal, saying that he had little
doubt that an operation had been performed,
put ne thought the girl was mistaken TO the
1ull force and effect of 1t. and, under the evil
dence, conviction of the charge made in the
Indictment was impossible. DR.. Fernando was
thereupon discharged from custody.
The verdict occasioned considerable comment
had become to be an accepted conclusion that
fernandez would be convicted, and sensational
disclosures were expected to follow. Said
porter, last hight: 81 had 'O Thought ali
along that Fernandez was guilty, but have re-
Gently come to the conclusion that he was being
prosecuted by men who do not appear at all in
free from such crimes as were charged against
him. Some of these days something will drop. and
some OF the most prominent physicians in town
will be ruined for life."

IN THE FRONT RANK.
The Advantages offered Shippers by
the Union Stockyards.


The Union Stockyards is an institution OF
which Indianapolis may well be proud. A num-
Der OF distinguished visitors looked through the
yards yesterday. and were warm in their praise.
The yards are credited on all hands with being
the best in the country in every respect All
the stock is under shelter the sheds are airy.
well ventilated, Clearly, and supplied with even
better drinkiDg-water than is furnished the in
haDitants of this city, being pumped from a
driven well 1U7 feet deep. There are LOG acres,
twenty-five acres being under cover, For IDdi-
ana and Illinois shipments this is quicker mar
ket than any in the country, which makes the
shrinkage extremely lght-a matter of first i'm
portance with shippers and one that is bringing
the yards into high favor.
The Union StocRyards does not sort up hogs
as in Chicago, shipments for the most
part being sold straight. Chicago quotations
are frequently "way up" the quotation being
h on picked lots where perhaps only I'VE
hogs out OF load have brought the price
marked This method of doing business often
induces shipments which fail to pan ont salts
1actor1ly to the shipper. The yardage here Is
cent head lower on hogs than at Chicago, five
cents lower on cattle, twenty-five cents on horses
anu also lower on sheep These moderate
charges nave greatly increased the business, the
receipts being larger in every department.
hogs, cattle, sheep and horses. The stock is
cared for by the most careful and experienced
is never any stagnant water about the yards.
THESE yards have the biggest order trade of
any yards in the West. Eastern buyers are rep
resented here by dozen commission firms, and
in addition to that Kingan & Co. kill more hogs
IN the summer than any house in the United
States, besides killing large numbers of cattle.
The protection of the stock in Indictment
weather is great point in favor of these yards.
Ihere is little snrinkage where stock are we'll
housed and comfortable, while in open sheds the
loss to the shipper is great
. Persons shipping here find no difficulty in get
ting top market prices, as the commission men
ARE always ready to buy everything that offers,
THIS is big, steady, solid and growing market
anu always pays Chicago prices, and frequently
more With less shrinkage in stock, lower
charges for yardage, and little sorting, this is
getting to be a favorite point with shippers, who
are nnding out these advantages, and who ap
preciate all these savings.
Winter hog shipments will begin earlier this
year than usual, the product being marketable
earlier in comparison with other years, and the
yards, with increased shed-room and other faci-
titles, being better able to handle them than ever
before. The Union Stockyards put Indianapolis
In the front rank as a hog and cattle market.

A Straneer,s Death.

A stranger who registered at the Grand Hotel
on last Wednesday morning as ~. d. Wandell,
New York." died suddenly yesterday morning.
He had evidently been on protracted spree,
and was endeavoring to sober up when he came
to the hotel. His death, it is Thought, resulted
from brain troubles, superinduced by dissipa-
ton. The man lie unknown here, but from pa
pers found in his possession 1t was found that he
had relatives at Hampstead, Long Island, and
they were communicated with by telegraph by
superintendent Robbins. The remains of the
deceased were forwarded TO Hampstead, last
night, by Kregelo & Whitsett.

MCDONALD FOR PRESIDENT.
The Preferences of the Democratic Editors
of Indiana.

The political barometer indicates unmistak-
ably that Mr.. Mcdonald is the choice of tie In
diana Democracy for President. A careful can
vass made at the editorial convention held at
Logansport on Thursday, shows that thirty Dem.
ocratic editors in the State favor Mr.. Mcdonald,
and all are strongly opposed to the denomination
of Tilden and Hendricks. Upon the question of
a tariff for revenue and free trade, they are di-
vided, but they are all opposed to protection.
Colonel Gray is their choice for Governor, but
Bayless Hanna, the editor of the Charlottesville
Review, and few others, favor General Man
son, the cold war horse" as a candidate who
would be more likely to rally the soldiers. 1t is
hardly necessary to telegraph the news to Mr..
Hendricks.

That sQuirtetn empty air3
What knoweth he of misery,
Since all his mission is
To rake in nickels ceaselessly,.
And phizz and phizz and phizzi
Full seemly proper serveth he

And exc as siruptitiously

Pineapple pale, and gineer-ale
Aud berries, straw and rasp';
Then tutoreth he the throttle-valve
To gasp and gasp and gasp!

With froth alone thou brimmest up
This thirsty heart OF mine;-
But thne-ahl thine is brmmed with wine
