FINE PICTURES. Schumacher's may be
seen two fine pencil pictures by Xavier Stop
pel. formerly of this city-a brief reference to
which was made yesterday morning-and a
beautiful portrait in Aquarel or water colors.-
The principal of the two large pictures is a
scene from Faust. 1t represents Gretchen as
she is about to enter the church and has paus-
ed for a momentto dip one hand in the font of
holy water, at the entrance of the sacred edi-
flee, while the other carries her prayer book
Half concealed behind the tower can be dis
cerned the figures Of Msphistophiles and Faust
who are closely watching the beautiful Ger
man maiden. The face is charming one, the
features regular and classic, the eyes downcast,
the expression spiritual. The pose of the fig
ure is easy and graceful while the drapery is
admirably managed the lines being graceful
and flowing without particle Of stifness.-
The shading Of the picture is wonderful, par
tlcularly in the contrast between the doors and
arched windows and the part of the building
lying in shadow beyond the cathedral tower
We can hardly realize that so large picture
-40x56 inches il size-is the work of the pen
Gil alone aud that it could have been executed
without shutting it in the least The portrait
in water-colors is very soft and lovely and the
hair is wonderfully managed 1t looks like
actual silken tresses. 5A-3
Mr.. Stopped devotes himself to pencil and
aquarel painting at his studio in Union Hill,
New Jersey. The pencil pictures are the
property of Mr.. Charles Schumacher.

"a most absurd project.1 :;

THE WHARTON CAsE.-There has been a
rumor floating about the streets for the last
three days to the effect that Prof. Aiken
has completed the analysis of the stomach
of Major Henry Wharton drought from
Norrslown some weeks since), and that no
poison has been found. Prof. Aiken and
the members of the Medical Faculty, who
are supposed to know the result OF the
analy ysis, decline to give any informa-
tion,. and the civil authorities profess
to have no information on the subject.
Without having any direct authority for
the assertion, we think that it may be
safely stated that the chemical investi-
CATION was concluded on Wednesday
I;.st, and that the results obtained were only
negative; that is, the poi>ons looked for
were not found. This, Of course does not
decide the question as to whether Major
Wharton was poisoned or not, but the fact
that the presence Of poison was not discoy-
cred in his remains will have a apowertul
moral effect in relieving Mrs. Wharton from
the suspicion Of having taken away her
sons life. There was the largest money
motive in this case, and the failure to sus-
tain it will lift "a heavy load OF suspicion
from the unhappy woman, weighed down
as she Is with the burden OF the charges
brought against her.-Balhmore Anaer7-

Aug. 11.-Joseph Messner was executed in
the jaI-yard Of this county this afternoon
at 12:2S O'Clock, for the murder Of bis wife
in 1868. He died with scarcely struggle.
He made full confession of guilt. Mess
ner and his wife lived on bad terms, fire.
quently quarreling, owing to the intempeTr-
ance of Messner.' In one of these quarrels
at their shanty, near Penfeld, on the 18th
of April, 1868. Messner attacked her with
q large stick and also with mallet, and
beat her brains out. He was convicted
and sentenced to be hung on the 4th OF
March, 1869. 1t is alleged betting ring
was formed who took his case in hand to
gamble on his fate, and through their exer-
lions he was respited till December 10. At
this time it was supposed to be certain ne
would be hung, and the officials interested
sold a large number OF tickets of admis-
sion at 81 each to the persons anxious to
witness the scene. The gamblers made
their BETS, however, and though the man
was brought upon the gallows they got
him off again on a writ of, error and stay of
proceedings. He was tried again and con-
yicted, and to-day the melancholy farce
was ended.

for Messrs. MIC Rae and Nunnally, trustees,
the valuable property situated at the corr

sometimes for business purposes, again for

making more than half time. The weav.
ing-room at the Marshall mills suspended

are not adopted it is feared that total sus.
pension will take place. The Marshall
mills intend during this week to work q
portion of their operatives at night.
