Philadelphia Photographer. relates . queer case.
A photographer made pictures of two brothers,
who refused to take or pay for them on the ground
planned, but the judge Of the same opinion
as the brothers, and decided that the pictures
were not likenesses. Mr.. Photographer then went
home with his rejected pictures. and placed them
IN his show window with the iabel-"The mur.
.ierers Of Mrs. X" The brothers then waited on
the artist, and alleged that it was y libel TO ex.
pose their pictures with such title, and. on his
refusal to remove the pacard they entered suit :
1t remains to be seen how the Judge will decide
ln this new phase OF the affair.

Grants Seneca ssene.

The Investigation going on in Washington IN
reference to the alleged improper use Of Seneca
sandstone ia the new State Department building
is still going on. 1t will be remembered that the
Seneca quarry is the one in which Generals Grant,
Dent and others are interested holders Of stock.
A remarkable difference Of opinion In respect to
the merits of the stone has been elicitsd by the
committee having the investigation IN charge.
Experts on the side testify that the Stone will
stand heavy pressure, and is better. for many pur-
poses. than granite. Experts on the other side
swear that Seneca stone s often rotten, varies in
strength is unsafe to work, costlier than granite.
and finally, worthless.
