PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.--Mrs. schropp,
the wife of tue murderer OF Anton Schil.
ling, made an unsuccessful attempt to
commit suicide early yesterday morning
in the Philadelphia Hospital. Two Twen-
ty-first district policemen were detailed to
relieve each other in watching the woman,
and yesterday morning about the time oil
the relief the woman tried to strangle
herself with her bcd-clothing.
About O'Clock In the morning, when
the policeman was not watching her, she
took the sheet and twisted 1t into a rope.
She wound this around her neck and
drew It tight. The ofli er heard a noise,
and upon looking he found Mrs. .Schropp's g
face black. Restoratives were applied,
but 1t was come time before the woman
regained consciousness.
Mrs. Schropp has not been questioned
by the police sincs her husbands arrest
on Sunday night. At that time, when
she heard of his arrest she said right
away that he was not guilty
Not guilty of what?" inquired Chief
Wood.
The woman then saw her mistake and
refused to answer any more questions.
Yesterday afternoon Lieutenant Beale
delivered the saw and knives with which
the body was cut up and the body of the
wagon which was used to convey the dis
membered remains to the place where
they were found to Coroner Ashbridge.
The Coroner gave them to Dr.. Formal,
who will make an examination and tnd
out whether or not the stains are human
blood. The inquest will not be held until
the police are possessed of all the details

As was announced by the Cunning
Club of this place to have a glass ball
shooting on Christmas Day, and the
weather being all that could be desired
for holiday, there was quite a number
OF people gathered in the morning to en-.
JOY the favorite sport of breaking glass
balls. The shooting commenced at 10. 30
O'Clock, in which a few amateurs took
part. The breaking of la Is seemed
rather tedious at first, hut as the breech-
loader became warmed and the nervous
ness wore of OF the marksmen there was
but little to be seen of the ball as IL went
flying out Of the trap but few pieces of
glass. Mr.. McCormick's side came oil
victorious in the morning by the follow

on the other, in which the former side
came of vlct.rious by one point. AS
