Philadelphia, Jan. 3. To-day Judge
Harley 15. Horse and George 6. Merrick, of
Denver, called at tne United States mint
in this city with a brick of silver weighing
514.8 ounces fine, and presented it to the
weighing clerk and demanded that it be
coined into money for them. Upon their
demand being refused they waited upon
Colonel Bosbysbell, Superintendent of the
Hint, and made the same demand verbally
of him. Colonel Bosbyshell refnsed to ac
cept the brick for private coinage, and
Messrs. Morse and Merrick then presented
him with tbe following formal demand in
writing:
The Demand Formally Submitted.
Philadelphia. Pa-, Jan. 3, 1S9L
Col. O. C BosbjsbelL Superintendent of tbe
United SUtes Mint at 1'hlUdelpbU:
Ueab Sir We, George G. Merrick. George
F. Batcbelder, Harley K. Horse and Robert J.
Coleman, citizens of the State of Colorado,
United States of America, tender to you and
to the proper officers in charge of tbe United
States Hint at Philadelphia a bar of ingot sil
ver bullion, marked and identified as follows:
"From Boston and Colorado: S. M. Co fine
fine weighing. 511S onnces Troy, nine hundred
and ninety-nine fine,"and demand as our right
nnder tbe constitution and laws of tbe United
States that the said bullion be received and
coined into silver dollars of tbe weight of four
hundred, twelve and one-half grains Troy
standard silver for the use and benefit of the
depositors, and witbont unnecessary delay.
George G. Merrick.
Harley B. Morse.
Tho Demand Befosed in TTritlnj.
After presenting the above demand, Mr.
Merrick asked Colonel Bosbyshell to give
them a certificate or letter certifying that he
and Judge Morse had offered their silver
for coinage, and that it had been refnsed by
him, so that they wonld be saved tbe trouble
of proving that fact in court, where they
proposed to test the right of tbe Government
to release the bullion. In compliance with
their request CoIoDel Bosbyshell gave them
tbe following letter:
Messrs. George U. Merries and Harley B. Morse:
Gentlemen I have tbe honor to acknowl
edge tbe receipt of our offer of this date of a
bar or ingot ot bilrer bullion, to be coined into
silver dollars ot tbe weight of 412 grains Troy
standard silver for the use and beuent of your
selves as depositors, and beg to decline such of
fer on tbe ground that It is in violation of the
lawi and regulations of tbe mint service to de
posit silver for private account. Very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
O. C. Bosbyshell.
A Constitutional Right Alleged.
After receiving Colonel Bosbyshell's
written refusal to receive tbeir bullion, the
two gentlemen wrapped up their brick in a
piece of paper and departed. The ground
upon which Messrs. Morseand Merrick based
their demand is a constitutional one, and
denies the right ol the Government lo make
what is known as "seignorage." At pres
ent the market valne of silver bullion is
103 cents per onnce tine of 371 grains,
while the actual value of an ounce when
coined into silver dollars is 129.39 cents.
"When tbe Government buys bullion it pays
the market bullion price and makes the
difference, which is the "seignorage," be
tween that price and the legal tender valne.
It is this seignorage which the gentlemen
who presented their silver brick at the mint
to-day think they have as much right to as
the Government.
"What the Bland Act Covers.
Colonel Bosbyshell based his refusal to ac
cept the bullion on the act of Congress of
February 12, 1873. In speaking of the
ground npon which he based his claim for
free coinage, Mr. Merrick said:
We will carry this case to the Supreme Court
of tbe United btatcs. We say that it is the con
stitutional ncht of an American citizen to
bring his gold and silver bullion to any United
States Mint, and to receive therefor coin of
lawful weight and fineness for bis use and bene
fit, based upon the coinage value of tbe metal
deposited. Congress has not no authority to
demonetize silver or limit its legal tender
quality. Tbe act known as tbe Bland lull re
stores by operation of law tbe coinage by the
mint of silver dollars of tbe weight of 412
trains standard silver, to all tbe provisions or
tbe act of January 18, 1SJ7, applicable to that
dollar, including the fourteenth section of said
act.

ItrrCJAL TELEOBAX TO THE DISPATCH.!
Scranton, Jan. 3. Queer reports haTe
reached this city from Parkersburg, W. Va.,
. and Indianapolis of a Scranton man named
J. P. Simpson, who is traveling" from city to
city in search of a man named Middleton,
who, he says, a year ago abused his little
daughter. Chief of Police "Wade says
Simpson is either a crook or insane. "While
in this city a few months ago he engaged
himself to a young girl who was well con
nected. He seemed to have plenty of
money, giving his fiance very valuable pres
ents. The wedding day was fixed, the tros
seau was finished and the clergyman paid a
$25 fee in advance.
A lew day before the date fixed for the
wedding Simpson said he had received a
telegram irom tbe southern part of the State
informing him that his brother-in-law had
been killed in a railroad accident, and call
ing him there. He left the city leaving an
unpaid board bill aud facing with him a
gold watch set with diamonds, owned by his
landlady. He was never heard from alter
until the reports came from the "West,

Harrison and Wanamakcr Denounced for
a l'ostoffice Appointment.
rsraciAL tzxcgkak to the dispatch. l
Indianapolis, Jan. 3. The Indiana
Commercial Travelers' Convention gave
Harrison and "Wanamaker black eyes to
day. Some time ago the editor of an Os
wego If. X. paper published an attack on
the commercial travelers of the country,
accusing them all of being a menace to
good society. President Harrison after
ward appointed this editor postmaster at
Oswego. The various traveling men's or
ganizations of the country have condemned
the appointment.
The Indiana Association was not slow to
day to show its condemnation of the ap
pointment. By a standing vote it censured
President Harrison and the Postmaster Gen
eral for naming such a man for a public po
sition, and the Secretary was instructed to
notify tbe President and the Postmaster
General of the action of the association.

rerCCTAI. TXLXOBAX TO TBI! SISPATCS.1
New Yoek, Jan. 3. Bichard H. Schmidt
is chief carver in a downtown restaurant.
He is not living with his wife just now, and
she has sued him for abandonment. Mrs.
Schmidt says that her husband has left her
to live with another woman. Schmidt earns
something like $10 a week and he has been
able to pay his wife $5 a week. The other
woman in the case is Miss Lillie Anderson,
a good looking young actress. It was she
who told the reporter this story:
"Mr. Schmidt is a good friend of mine,
and I am afraid that he is very much in
love with me, bnt I don't like it. I did not
know until recently that he was married,
and when I found it out I tried to keep him
away. Then I became acquainted with his
wife', and when I found out what kind of a
woman she was I did not blame bim for
wanting to rnn away from her. The trouble
with Mrs. Schmidt is that she believes in
fortnne telling. She spends nearly all the
money which he gives her at Mme. Leon's,
on Third avrnne, where she buys charms
and hoodoos. She is intensely jealous and
uses all her magic things to keep her hus
band away from other women.
"She wonld bny little pieces of red silk
and tissue paper from Mme. Leon for $3
and sew them on his underclotbing. She
bonght two bottles of some stuff, which I
don't believe is anything but water, threw
them at him so that be would remain true to
her. She keeps a tintype picture of her hus
band in a cup of water and has another
picture of him on the wall, upside down.
Two weeks ago he became tired of all.
this nonsense and left her. She came
around here often alter that and so did
her husband. His wife once asked whom he
was going to stick to, her or me. He said
he wasn't going to stick to anybody, but.he
liked me a thousand times better than he
did her. Then she flounced out of the room.
There is no donbt of tbe man's being dead
in love with me, but pity him very
much."
Mrs. Schmidt had her husband brought to
court on Friday, and cbarged him with
abandoning her. She admitted, however,
that be was paying her $5 a week all that
be could afford regularly. The jndge told
her, that be could not force her husband to
live with her, bnt he wonld see that he sup
ported her.

ted as a member, and the names of Judge

Duqnesne Hotel., -The committee had not
decided as to who the invited guests should

The following amendment to the by-laws
was defeated:
Provided that in any case where a member of
the bar shall have been convicted of any
offense involving moral turpitude, by a court of
Jaw. or wbere Improper conduct. Such as' may
be tbe basis of a charge against him for disbar
ment, has become notorious, tbe association
may direct an investigation of his case to fie
made by the Committee on Offenses, and may
apDolnt a special committee to prosecute
snch investigation before the Committee on
Offenses. . (
The amendment was defeated upon the
ground that it was unnecessary, because the
