Sensational Ending of the Murder Charge
Against Mra. HAyeh

CHICAGO, Aug. 15-The most sensationa
development in the Minard poisoning
ease, which has Increased In interest at
each hearing, occurred yesterday after
noon. Edward O'Brien, the attorney pros
ecuting Mrs. Mellinery Hayes for the al
legged murder of her son-in-law, W. @.
Minard, charged the lawyer for the de
fense, w. S. Cummings, with an attempt
TO procure perjured evidence in behalf Of
his client.
The charge Of murder against Mrs
Hayes was dismissed on motion Of the
prosecution at the close of the afternoon
hearing. When Attorney Edward o. Brien,
for the prosecution, failed to put on the
stand Professor Salisbury, who had made
a scientific examination Of W. @. Minard's
stomach for poison, and entered a nolle

and Detective @. II. Virgins, who had
given damaging testimony against the de

bottom of the affair" shouted Attorney
Cummings. "Why don't you put your

KERR'S RECEPTION.
The State Councillor of the Jr. 0. U. A.
NJ. Coming Here.

AAs NO4AAlAA AANA@a
Present indications point to a large
gathering in Ferguson's Theatre on Fri
day evening, next. On that occasion
William Z. Kerr, of Pittsburg, who is at
the head of the Jr Order United Amer
lean Mechanics of this state, will appear
before a Shenandoah audience for the
first time. He will be accompanied by Q.
n. Raymond, of Middletown whom Mr..
Kerr succeeded as State Councillor. Both
these gentlemen are eloquent and fluent
speakers, and on their present tour of the
state are greeted everywhere by large
and enthusiastic audiences. Mr. Kerrs
prominence is accounted for in great
measure by the stand he took in the pubic
school controversy at Pittsburg and
Galitzen, where he secured iniunctions
prohibiting nuns wearing the garb OF
their religion from teaching in the
schools.
Besides speeches by these two leaders of
the order, the program will include selec-
tions by the Grant Band, and the United
Choir and glee club will also favor the
audience with vocal music. Other at
fractions will make the evening a pleas
ant one for those who attend. The adj
mission will be free. Large delegations
are expected from nearby towns, and the
reception to these officials of the order
will no doubt be hearty and enthusiasts
tic one in every respect.

Summer Travel is swelling the Treasur,

Summer Travel is Swelling the IreaSur-
les of the Several Lines.
The excursion season has not been so
lively for many years and the railroad
companies ought to make money this
year.
Baltimore will Try to beat the Worlds
Fair in 1897 and the railroad companies
propose to profit by the many mistakes
made last year.
We hear little concerning railroad
strikes now. 1t will take many dollars
from the taxpayers to make good the loss
sustained by the railroad companies in
the West
One by one the old employees of the Le-
high Valley Railroad, barred out by the
strike, are getting back to their old places.
The travel TO Niagara Falls this year is
very gratifying to the Lehigh Valley
Railroad management. The company
will reap a big harvest.
The Reading Railroad Company will
probably be recognized before the close
of he year and taken out OF the hands OF
the Receivers Everything is working
favorably in that direction.
