TO NE President and Members or Select COtu,-
ell Qr the City Of JOhBStOlC1, Pa:
We, your Committee on City Property TO
whom was referred the message OF the City En-
giReer, setting forth the necessity for a fixed

the Committee on Highways, beg leave to oreport
that we recommend that the city Engineer be
authorized to tiX apermanent alignment of Main
street by placing at least two stone monuments
set in such position under the street where they
will remain forever undisturbed either center or
side OF said street, as his judgment best dictates
stones TO be procured. and work done by the
Street commissioner under the direction of the
City Engineer.
We further recommend that the City Engineer
be authorized to secure room Tor his Office and
drafting room, also a drafting table aud writing
desk, together with rack for preserving maps,
all Of which is respectfully submitted

DEATH OF MRS. WHARTON.
Remarkable Career of a Woman Acquitted
of MOnstrous Crimes

Remarkable Career of a Woman Acquitted
of Monstrous Grimes.
The death of Mrs. Ellen q. Wharton,
aged seventy, at the country residence OF
her son-ln-law, Moore Wharton, near
Philadelphia, recalls one of the most in
teresting trials on record. Mrs. Wharton
was Ellen G. Nugent, daughter of George
Nugent, wealthy Philadelphia importer
of fine dry goods. She was very hand
some and fond of dress, and in spite of
her fathers liberality was continually
running into debt. She moved in the
best society and had wide circle of
friends in this State, Her first startling
performance was an announcement of her
approaching marriage to MIR. William
son. Invitations were sent out and the
guests came, but the groom did not, and
declared that he knew nothing about the
wedding, and was not engaged, Mr.. Nu-
gent then ranged to send his daughter
to an insane asylum, but she eloped and
was married to Lieutenant Harry M.
Wharton. Her father forgave her and
continued to pay her debts. The next
sensation was in 1867, when Colonel
Wharton, her husband, and General
Ketchum. a friend, both died and she
was tried at Annapolis and acquitted of
the charge of having poisoned the General
in order to rob him. Two years later she
was again tried on the charge of poison
ing Eugene Van Ness, a bank clerk, who
was taken i'll on drinking glass of beer
at her house, and died. Mrs. Wharton
was next accused of poisoning her hus-
bands cousin, Colonel Edward Wharton,
and her sou, Captain Henry G. Wharton,
but these charges never came into court.
In the trial for Van Ness murder the
jury failed to agree and were discharged.
After the failure of the jury to agree in
the secoud case Mrs. Wharton was called
in the sum of $4,000 for her future ap-
pearance if required. She pail this sum
and with her daughter, Miss Nellie, who
was her constant companion, left for Phil
adelphia Nellie was married to Mr..
Moore Wharton and her mother made her
home with them, leading secluded life.
