Before Commissioner :Biddle, to-day,' Col.
Sherman was arraigned on a charge of being
one of the principal Tallies lately engaged in
the uttering of bogus beer-statnps. fle, wa
defended by Counsellor John P.
- O'Neill.
,Messrs. H. Clay Lippincott, and . Thecidere'
Oeldschlager, Eson.4., who are counsel for
Win. Grover, were present as amid, curial.
District Attorney Valentine conducted the
. prosecution.
The testimony was interestingly suggestive
that'when' rogues fall out the truth is very
likely to see the light. .•
James Merrihew, manager, of the Western
Union Telegraph Office, exhibited his cash
blotter, showing the payment of money by tel
egraph order from New York to
Grover, who was, on Saturday, held over to
answer a similar charge. The handwriting of
the entry was that of James Carley, a clerk,
who has since died. The' order was dated
New York, ;Oct. 8, 1869. The money-order
called for $62. The witness refused to violate
confidence by divulging the tenor of the
accompanying despatch unless ordered to do
so by the Commissioner. [This was done, and
the witness proceeded.] Carley was cashier in
this office, and .Horner in that of the office in
New York - . The messages are very short.
They are in cypher.. They read thus :

Answer immediately.
There was no cross-examination,: and the
witness retired.
I Andrew J. Wightman deposed that he knew
defendant,and had heard him say that he was
in the business of making these stamps. He
complained bitterly of a want of faith toward
him on the part of Grover. He denbunced
him as a cheat in the matter of getting up the
_'scent been stamps.
Sherman's complaint was that .he bad en
tered into an agreement with Grover during
the latter part of the month of September or
October to have the stamps made. He said
that they had been furnished wiih genuine
ones, for patterns, by a revenue collector,
hom he did not name. These were for the
-ct..."ng :LT thad:..l r—
standing, he said, with Grover, was that he
(Sherman) was to have full control of the
stamps when gotten up, and that their dis
posal should be governed by his direction. He
said that now he intended to cut entirely clear
of Grover, because he had made public the
enterprise. All he wanted was a return of the
money he had furnished. He said that his
claim against Greyer was $l6O. The conver
sations between the parties occurred princi
pally while tiding in the cars from•ltichmond
to Wilmington, somewhere between Octo
ber 20 and November Ist, 1869.
The witness said "be made his money by
his wits ;" he had done so—he had made
515,000 at least ; ho had the machine de
signated as his "wits" for twelve months;
he sold 4,000 pounds of white paper to Mount
joy, of which Sherman 'got a thirdof , the
profits, and another batch to a party in New
York for 55,000; he first formed Sherman's
,acquaintance. I was in prison,and while there
found Sherman ; he was there Nit a short
time; I have been with him since as often on
an average as three -times a week ; -I was in
strumental in the arrest of Col Sherman:
'When cross-examined he couldn't say that
, heline* of his own knowledge that Sherman
bad been thus engaged. My knowledge is to
the contrary. 'He had no other business re
lations with him than selling that paper. We'
looked'at Grover as a man who filled a place
that a better man would accept. The witness
bad never seen the genuine stamps that were',
to be imitated. He said they had procured
one sheet of them. If they had stuck to white
instead of stamped paper, they wouldn't be
here. He described them as twenty'-five cent
'stamps. He also said he had a genuine dollar
stamp, and proposed to vary operations by
mixing into the tobacco mew. He . spoke of
Mr: Grover and the printer, John. Hart, as
trying to cheat him out of-his share. •
The witness told Sherman that in his opinion
this was very probable—that Hart was sharper
than he. This was at a hotel in New York
city. Sherman said he had a proof from the
die. He showed witness letters from Hart.
Re thought Hart was acting fairly; , the wit
ness didn't coincide with him. Hart's address
is 200 Spruce street. In Sherman'a possession
the witness never saw a Stamp. For- four '
months past Sherman says he has had no in
quiry from Grover. The witness had never •
anything to do with Grover , in the way of '
business himself. He was arrested on the
same charge with Hart and Mackey. He was
discharged. He introduced Grover as a brewer,
and Nettlesbip personated a friend of the
brewer. I didn't know then what I now
know, that he is in the service of the Govern
' neat.
Mr. O'Neill—He didn't want to be stamped,
did he ?
Witness—" No, he wanted to stamp us." .
" You think you've got this thing," said the
'Witness, " but you haven't, and you put me
off the track."
CoL Horace Lee was sitting by the side of
Counsellor O'Neill. The witness is a man of
handsome presence, of polished manners and
nddress, with an eye keen as that of an eagle
—a man who would pass current as a repre
sentative of Atragon or Castile.
He protested against answering any guts=
dons prompted by the evident hatred of Lee.
In the justice of this the Court acquiesced.
Mr. O'Neill denied that he had been governed ,
by the prompting of Lee.
The witness never asked to leave a bundle
with Mrs. Brown, nor either uttered or wrote
her a request that she should appear against
Mr. Sherman. Mr. O'Neill here exhibited a
letter written by witness. The latter identified
it. Mr. O'Neill refused to have it read in evi
dence. The Commissioners and District-At
torney both protested against this. Mr.
O'Neill asked the Court to officially authenti
cate it. This was refused. Both Commis-
sioners and Attorney declined to touch it un
le.ss it was offered in evinence.
Charles L. Edmunds testified—l knotv the
witness. He several times said that he had
baid Grover some money for getting up the
ogus plate. He said he had paid him $62 50.
It was at Hart's house, and to Hart that he
'also said this. 1 keep the International hotel,
on Second street.. 1 was a Detective under
Cloud. lam under indictment charged with
`illegal distillation. The conversation I refer
.4) Was in October. I . was looking after the
stamps. I went there to see Hart. I said
Sherman denied having anything to do with
; it. - Be wanted the plate destroyed. He was
willing to pay his half for the plate, audit'
GroVer would pay the other half the plate
could be destroyed. I don't think Sherman
had anything to, do with issuing the stamps.
The District Attorney asked that defendant
be held to ball. The Commissioner acted ac
cordingly.
Nuw &nom, HousEs:—The Committee on
Finance at its last meeting, agreed to report
to City Councils an ordinance. appropriating
4500,000 for the erection of new set:obi-houses.
This amount is considerably less than the sum
asked for by the Board of Controllers of the
Public Schools. New school-Houses are greatly
needed in the city. Many of the buildings
now used for school purposes are rented, and
everybody knows that rents are:not very
cheap. As the leases expire, up goes the rout,
`and as available buildings are rather scarce,
the advance has to be paid. Some of the
buildings have been put up by parties ex
" pros* tbr school purposes, with a guarantee
:of ten per cent. upon the cost, upon a lease of
tive'or more years. When these leasesexpire
th
:erola nothing to prevent an increase area,
isturi44lB fact is generally taken advantage of.
If the city owned all of the public school
houses a considerable amount of, the tax-pay
ers money would be saved annually, lu

soon expire, and then it is very probable that

building at Weaver and Coates - streets is to
tally unfit for school purposes: • Formerly the
lower part was used tor astable; but now it is
occupied as a manufactory of , patent roofing
material. The odor arising therefrom is not
only very unpleasant to inhale,' but it is
prejudicial to the health of the ,children. ,
the summer season, if school is held on three
days in the week, the teachersconaider that
they are performing a wonderful feat. When
these facts are duly considered by, members of
Councils, there ought to be no delay' the

passage of the proposed appropriation bill.
LOCAL CROWDER.—FIowers are being sold'
to-day in the open street. At the collection in
front of Dreer's, this morning; people lingered
to inhale the fragranca of the roses. The
plants were very soon disposed of. ' • The
hyacinth farnily have retired for the season.
Their place is filled by the EngliSh primrose,
the . " ladies' ear-drop' and the rose. The first
named, if kept out of a heated room, presents
for about a month a continuous succession of
bloom
_
The soup societies for the past season have
finished their work. The calls upon their
benevolence, despite the number of people
out of employment, were very few.
This morning an urchin Was trYing to catch
cat-fish at Chestnut street Wharf. His father
is a porter in a store near by. He detected the
urchin in the act of disobedience. The boy,
in trying to put the proper distance between
his corduroys and the boot of his " Pop," fell
into the water. He was fished out. He was
then treated to a basting with a piece of a
barrel hoop. He afterwards said to another
noy mat rop - air"
if he'd been drowned." That boy is aphiloso
pber. He goes in for a sliding scale in the
way of punishment.
Overcoats are again at a discount to-day. Ca
nary birds are singing from the outer walls, and
parlor windows are opened to the sunshine.
At this writing, the 23d day of March, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy, may be set down as one that re
flects no discredit upon May. The trouble is
that before night the whole binding of blue
and gold may be a binding of white.
Hot-house' cucumbers are in fruiterers' win
dows. They sell at 30 cents apiece. In length
they average about fifteen inehes. They grow
pendant, not upon the ground. Their diameter
varies from the thickness of. a walking-cane
to that of a broom-handle. They evidently
grow as the .notion takes them,. by tits and
starts. Hot-house strawberries in excellent
perfection are to be bought at 60 cents a pint
THE Mouniumix MURDE.R.—John Hanlon
has been indicted for the murder of little Mary
Monrmann on the night of September 6, 1868.
A narrative of the evidence adduced before
the Grand Jury, and, which will be brought
out on the trial, will be found on the sixth
page of to-day's BULLETIN. In regard to an
assault made by Hanlon, upon two ladies, the
annexed statements were sworn to before • -
derman Heins on the 27th of December I.‘t.
When considered in connection with he
crime for which Hanlon is serving in the
Penitentiary, they go to show that Ha • lon
bad been in the habit of assaulting fem es.
The statements are as follows:
Mrs. Annie Bowers, aged 23 years, says • I
reside at No. 51 Goodman street, Rising un
Village ; on the first day of October, 1869, e
tween 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening, as I
on my way borne from the city, I was goi g
along Germantown avenue,
between the ti st
toll-gate and Lehigh avenue, in company wi h
my sister, Clara Ritchie, aged 16 years ; I no
ticed a man, whom I afterwards discovered to
:be , John Hanlen, following us and acting in ,a
,very strange :manner; he Appeared as if he
wished to keep close to my sister ; he did nat
speak to either of us ; after following us about
one square and a half, he' struck rne on the
back'of the head with a stone or brick-bat,with
such force as to cause me to pitch forward and
nearly fall in the street. I then dropped a
bundle I was carrying, and , ran at the top of
my speed; crying " murder t" 'My cries at
tracted the attention, of Oliver Ottinger, who
was with his 'wife on ,thp other Side of the
street, who inirsned the man 'Nato attacked me
and arrested him.
Clara Ritchie also made a statement corrobo
rating Idris. Bowers. She further said: "Af
ter Hanlon struck my , sister, he struck me on
the fingers with a stone, and tried to escape."
Thiii case against Hanlon, we understood,
was settled at the time of its occurrence.
DONE Fon.—Among the strangers who yes
terday arrived in Philadelphia was Mr. Tracy
Wood. Mr. Wood is a wheelwright. He re
sides in Chester county. He transacted his
business during .the morning. In the after
noon, for the purpose of seeing English spar
rows, he visited the vicinity of Franklin
Square. While surveying the movements of
the feathered creatures, .and thinking of..the
Scriptural times when two sparrows were sold
for a farthing, he was approached by a sallow
looking gentleman, in a white neck-tie. Mr.
Wood had visited the city partly for the pur
pose of purchasing a cabinet organ. Ho so
informed the stranger. This led the conver
sation to serious subjects. The stranger stated
that ever since be had the consumption he
had abandoned all other than sacred music.
In this view of the subject Mr. Wood
heartily coincided. Being "on the verge
of the grave," the stranger allowed
the practice of secular-music partook of tin•
timely levity. -Mr. Wood sympathizes with
the Suffering. Being himself a Sunday-school
teacher, he rejoiced that the stranger was "in
the straight path." When they parted it was
with a promise from the stranger, if he sur
vived, to visit Chester county next June.
Something else parted about, the same . time,
When Mr. Wood undertook to compare "notes
with the State House clock, his watch was
gone. As ix was worth but sir', his heart is
not broken over its departure. The thing
that worries him is that any mau " on the
verge of the grave" should be so wicked.
MILITARY INHPECTION.—First Pennsyl
vania Cavalry, under Col. W. Frishmuth,was
inspected last evening by Capt. S. P. AtCheson,
Brigadier Inspector of the Fourth Brigade,
at Broad street and Girard avenue. There
were present 305 men besides the officers ; the
drill went on finely, and everything passed
oft satisfactorily. Pour corps did not report
on account of not having received the notice
soon enough, as they are from rural districts
of the city.
A SEmons K C K.—Edward Murphy was in
the beer saloon of Wm. Knauff, No. 810 Green
street, yesterday afternoon. A servant girl
was carrying a box of ashes up the cellar
stairs. Murphy, it is alleged, kicked the girl.
'Sae then fell to the bottom of the stairs and
the Lox tumbled on her. Murphy was ar
rested and, after a hearing before Alderman
Massey, was held in $6OO bail for trial on the
charge of assault.and battery.

. PROF. ROGERS' LECTURE- INTERESTING
ExmnimENTs.—On Thursday evening next
Prof: It. E. lingers, of the University of Penn
sylvania, will deliver one of his great lectures
on " Chemistry." In this lecture the true na
ture and range of chemical force will be illus
trated, and its marvelous powers to modify
and control both living and inanimate matter
made manifest. Among the numerous ex
periments selected to elucidate the lecture, a
variety of interesting and instructive transmu
tations in form, bulk, color, crystalization,
combustion, &c., will be shown on a scale
commensurate with the dimensions of the
Academy •of Music. The Professor will ex-
plain - Mid illustrate 'some of tne new arts wino'
chemistry has created, such as the "Bessemer
Steel" process and the artificial manufacture
of ice. The ice apparatus which will be used
was procured by him in Paris from M. Carre.
the original inventor of the process.' With
,this be will make ice upon the stage in the
presence of the audience. The. apparatus will
at the same time be shown greatly magnified,
so as to exhibit distinctly its construction and
.
operation, thereby enabling any one with a
like machine to repeat the process for domes
tic purposes.
It will be clearly demonstrated that the ice
thus made by chemical power does not come
in contact with chemicals, and must of neces
sity be as pure as 'if taken from a frozen lake.
The production of cold will also be exhibited
by another form of apparatus which is like
wise proposed to be brought into use' for
"ice-making." . The cold thus obtained exceeds
greatly any reported by Arctic travelers. It
is capable of solidifying quicksilver, by a mo
ment's contact, and even of freezing• that
liquid metal within a red-hot crucible. As a
curious illustration of the wonderful ways in
which chemical affinity acts, the Professor,
having made..ice by means of fire, will show
t • enotiverse, and make fire by meansof ice.
he lectu4 r will avail himself of "Calcium
lights," . es cially Arranged to illuminate his
apparatus a

rare opportuni .z .of listening to a lecture of
this character. be apparent to anythought
ful person, when he considers the labor and
infinite detail of bringing together such a
variety.of apparatus and material—each ex
periment and representation being, not a pic
ture alone, but the winking of Nature herself
with her own implements. - " .
PRILAMLPHIA MUSICAL. INSTRUMENTS
The Liberty Cornet Band's new instruments,
recently procured, were tested, for the first
time, yesterday afternoon, at the headquarters
of the band. on Fourth street, below Callow
-hill street,' and gave general satisfaction to
the members. They were manufactured by
H. Lehliert of this city, and are the first set of
instruments ever made here for a Philadel
phia band, the general practice having been
to send to New England, or have them im
ported. They are superior in tone and work
manship to any heretofore used, and are prci-
Tided with the latest rotary valve and, an
entirely new action. The cost of the entire
set was $1,900. 'Prof. McClurg, by his en
couragement of home industry, has demon
strated the fact that Philadelphia can turn' out
, a set of musical instruments superior to any
which can be obtained abroad. The band will
appear in public with the new instruments,
for the first time, on Friday evening next, at
the Silver Anniversary of Friendship Divi
sion No. 19, Sons of Temperance, at the
Academy of Music.

and carried into effect, In Nichrilson'a appeal, the

of complaint against the guardian, such as ie content

If the present guardian shall bii rernoved, the way will

would 'not give to the guardian any rights , in this re
spect different from those Which the law recognizes.
Ile would at all times be under the Ophtrol'of the
Orphans' Court, whose jurisdiction 'extends to, and
embraces the appointment, control, removal
and discharge of guardians. For sufficient canes , the
child may be taken away from him and given to an entire
