After committing the deed McKain ran west on Chestnut street and has not since been Keen. He had been following his victim for some time before he struck the blow.

McKain is the man who assaulted his wife some time ago and then smashed all the furniture. He was arrested and put under bond, but made nis escape from the constable while looking for a surety.

AMUSEMENTS.

The Bankers Daughter." The assertion has been made that the third is the strongest act ever placed on the stage, and those who are disposed to dispute this fact would be puzzled if called upon to name another play which contains an act so admirably constructed aud so well llustrated. The company numbers twenty-three people and come highly endorsed by both press and public in overy city In which they have appeared. Notwithstanding the extra inducements offered tho company, the management will not raise the prices, and those who desire to witness the latest metropolitan success should remember that the advance sale of seats is now open.

THK .STILXi AIjAItiT.

"The Still Alarm," an American comedy drama, by Joseph Arthur, which is to bo produced at Naylor's on Wednesday Evening Oct. 14th is without aibt one of the most successful American plays ever produced in this country. Forgoing on six years it has played to crowded houses all over the country, and has also been produced in England, where it made a great sensation, and after a long run at the Princess Theatre it had a prosperous tour through tho provinces. It is said to have tho most realistic scene ever put on the stage, in {he way of a real steam tiro engine and real horses. The play has for its motive the fortunes and misfortunes of a New York fireman, and the audience is worked up to a high pitch of excitement over a scone in the Central fire station in New York, in which a very realistic showing is given of the departure of an engioeto afire. In this scene the llremen slide down the poles from their beds in an upper story two horses rush out to the waiting engine, harnesses are dropped on their backs as if by magic, and the steamer is off, sputtering spa~ks and smoke as the high mettled steeds at a ter.-ffic gallop whirl it out of the station. The advance sale of seats for "The Still Alarm" will lake place Monday morning.

SHKN'AXOOAH.

Bronson Howards g.eat play "Shenandoah" *vi'I be presented at Naylor's opera house on next Saturday Evening Oct. 17th. The co puny this sjason is better than ever. The seat sale will take place Thursday morning.

Grand Jarjr.

A. It. Fouls, city. H. C. Jordan, Iloney Creek township, a T. Reed, Prairie Creek township.

Samuel Shields, Harrison township. John Weeks, I.inton township. A. B. Barton, city. The Musgrave and Sturkey cases will probably recti re attention. There is also some talk of investigating false returns of property for assessment parpose*. The usual number of indictments w!U doubtless be returned against the saloons, pool rooms and houses of prostitution.

AM) WOMEN.

The coming engagement of Charles Frohman's company at Naylor's on Tuesday, October 3rd, in "Men and Women," promises to be a most bril liant one in every particular. Both the play and players come highly endorsed not alone by New York and Chicago.but e^ory city in Amorica where they have been seen. "Men and Women" is the joint work of David Belasco and Henry C, DeMille, authors of "The Wife," "The Charity Ball," and successes of recent date but in all their brilliant achieve ments of the past, these two talented young writers did not even point to so meritorious an accomplishment as this one play, the best by all odds of their many combined efforts and the strong est in many respects of any play since
