Il was a tall man, slender and st the with white hair and _beard and a distinguished appe ance, with elegant manners, aniable disy tion and all the eharacteristios of a stccess- ful lobbylst. Mr. Sherrill had beon feeling unwell for soveral days and had not boon out of the house Sunday. His wife and dangbter, who have always been promi- nent in gociety, gave a reception yestorday which was largely attended, and Mr. Sherrill saw muny of the guests, to whomn he com- plained of a pain in his left side. About mid- night, after the guests had gone, he felt so much worse that his wife sent for tho doctor, who with him till i1 led. &4 7 o'clock this morning, Mr. Sher- 711 was abons Seventy vears of oge und a na- tive of Sandy HITL v /itiic Villace In the cen- tral part of New York, It bt well-to-do farmer and theson, swhen 0t mieh past his majority, got a contract on the Ene , which was then building. He after- ds went to New York to reside and in 50 way appointed canal commissioner of the state, an office e eld for six years, e was one of tlie founders of the republican party and a member of the famous committee of 100 from New York to the Pittsburg con- vention, when Fremont was nominated for the presidency. Until he came to Washing- ton to represent the Central Pacific company he was engaged In constructing private and government works under contract and built the famous Cabin John bridge, five miles west of Washington, which has the greatest span of any bridge in the world. “The contract was given him by Jefl. Davis, whose name was stricken from the tablet of the bridge by the order of Secretary Stanton during the war. lr. Sherrill was undoubt- edly the most successful lobbyist ever in Washington, Those who engage in that pro- fession generally have briof careers for obyi- ous reasons, but he had more frionds the day he died than at any time before. e never made a promise that was not strictly kept, he nevor offended any one, and his methods wero so honorable that the most serupulous congressmen and senators did not hesitate to be seen in his company. Senator Stanford sald to-day that Br. Sherrill was one of the best men he ever knew, and to his knowl- edge never did a dishonorable thin lo was incapable of deception,” said Ar. Stan- ford, “‘ana his word wus oo as tha bonds of most people.” He had known him more than twenty-nive years, | ng tirst wethim as a rival contractor in - railway work. Mr, Sherrill, the ‘semator said, had been in the employ of the Central Pacific railrond for filteen years or more, and bad been found very valuable. Ilis knowledge of men and affaits was remarkable, and his predictions surbrisingly accurate. “It was always important for us to kuow what 1 going to be done in Wasbinzton in the de- partients, in congress and the supremo " sald Mr. Stanford, “and we kept M il here o furnish ' that informatic rather than a lobbyist, as they are called. never knew him o mislead us with innc- ate intormation, nor one of his predictions to prove false. He was almost a_prophet.” One of the stories of the lobby Is that a de- cision in the supremo court was obtained by Mr. Sherrill for his clients in an_unusual way, and was worth millions of dollars to them, A lmly then prominent in soclety was intimate with_the house of one of the Justices of the supreme court who was ox- pected to deliver an opinion in u few days on the Thurman act to rsgulate the Pacific rail- roads. 'The opinion was written and was Tocked up 1n the desk of the justice’s in his Iibrary. This lady visited ‘the house one afterioon while all the family were away 1d spent some time 1nthe library reading, as she told the scryants, but it was supposed that she opened the drawer where the de- cision was with false keys and copied enough of it to give its character. At any rate Mr. Sherrill got the decision three or four n advance of its delivery, and the lady o circumstances had not been very affliient before, was aftersard known to haye plonty of monsy. It was the story that she 00,000 for the job, but it kill soclally, and sho was compelled to spe of her days In Turope, where sl Mr. Sherrill always defended herand denied that his informution came from that source, but the justice says that it could not have’ been secured in any other way. sine NEADS LIKE A ROMANCE, Some time last June Pay Clerk Moy appeared from the flagship of the sout cilie_squadron, disappeared from Santiago, and the story was published that he had ab sconded with a large amount of money be- longing to the United States, Adwi Cuuley atonce offered a reward of the arrest of Moyers, Nothing was loard of him, however, and it was belleved that he had'been murdered, Later it was discovered that Meyers’ accounts were all straight, und that the money of the United States was'safe, but Meyers had borrowed a considerable suni from men on the ship and had given notes for six months to cover the sum. fle has just been heard from in this country, The siory that he tells reads lilke a romace, He had some difficulty with the paymaster, and as his wife was reported to be demented in Wash- ington be determined to come here at once without the formality of resigning. ~1le started across the South American continent ith mules and a guide. “Ihe guide tried to murder bim, and did tinally rob him of every- thing he , but he made his wn)' to_Rio iro and @ secured passage for New paid back the borrowed monoy, but the reward still stands against him.

W ASHINGTON, Jan. 4. e secretary of the treasury to-day transmitted to the house a communication from the director of the mint bearing on the Issue and redemption of minor coin, ‘e director says that the ox- perience of last year has shown conclusively that minor coin may acenmulate in the trea: ury and sub-treasurles of the United State at present the only agencies for the redomp- tion of minor coin, wuile at the same time there nay exist & pressing demand for the same class of coin In parts of the United States remote from the treasury and its branches. Axain, he says, there may be an acewmulation at the treasury or at certain sub-treasuries, while at the same time there may exista demand at commercial conters, even where certain other sub-treasuries are located, Yet mno specific appropriation is available for transfer fromn one sub-treas- ury to another of minor coin found to be in excess of the demand at the locality where any such excess may happen, The director adds that part of the demand for minor coin (which has arisen to an unprecedented ex? tent during the latter part of the past year) is at least unreasonable, it baving appeared that in the exercise of preference for fresh coin applications to the Philadelphia mint 1or large sums of minor coin have been made from various cities where an accumulation was reported at the sub-treasury. To facili tate the transfer of coin and its recolnage and cleaning for reissue, certain amendwents to the revised statutes' are sugeested, con- ferring on the seerctary of the tréasury author ity to transfer the coin from the tredsury to tlie mint, allowing him to retain from the balance of ‘the minor coinage profit fund. which is now covered into the tre s1m not exceeding 25,000 1n any ou defray the expenses of distribution.

Express Rohbers Sentenced, Jan, 4.—The probability that the Adams express robber,and his confederates would be prouzht into the criminal court to-day drew a large number of people to the court room anxious to catch glimpse of the famous highwaymen, At 11 clock the grand jury, which was at that hour expected to be ready to presont their indictments, announced that they o not ready to report. An adjournment was taken to give them further time to consider the eases and two subsequent adjournments were taken, the last one until 2 p. m, for the same purpose, At a late hour, when Judge Nor- mille took his seat, the court room was crowded, the spectators (iliing the aisles and doorways. The grand jury filed in and took their seats, “Gentlenien, have youanything to reports” asked the court. “We have three true b sponded the foreman, The bills were handed to the judge who, after looking them over, dismissed the jury, One of these was a joint indictment against Frederick Wittrock, Thomas Weaver and William W, Haight, charged with larceny from a railroad ¢ The indictments charg- ing them with robbery in the first degree were prepared yesterday, but the form was changed to the above so that there might be no difliculty in holding Messenger Fother- inghaw, for an indictment of robbery In the t degree would be an adwmission of his At 2:15 the prisoners were m fheir ¢ells 1o the hold-over gned at the han to return,” re- ni innocenc brought into court and arrai 11 th attorne; i to ulL:ud guilty to the charges in the indiet- ment.” The clerk then asked the defendants if they heard the charges.

Wittrock and Haight took their scntences stoically, the former remarking “\We have made our beds and must lie in them,” but Weaver was evi- dently affected. He eannot reconcile him- self o the idea of serving a sentence when Kinney, Moriarity and others who received parts of the stolén money are allowed to go at liberty.

It matters little how one may condemn the recourse of the author to one of the most foul of deceptions, he iinds the effect of the same is destroyed by the constant play of the passions which extend along the gamut almost from one extremity to the other.

The amendment proposed by City At- torney Connell was that the mayor could be removed by a majority of the council upon charges bemng preterred by any cit iz The substitute, offerea by Colonel Chase, was intended more particularly to follow the suggestions made by Judge Wakeley in the opinion that he rendercd in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Champion 8.

The substitute 1s as follows: ‘T'he power to remove from his office, the mayoror any councilman or otker officer mentioned in this act, in any city of the'me: ropolitan class, for good and suilicientcause, is hereby conterred upon the district court for the county in which such eity is situated Whe any two of the city councilm Imakeand file with the clerk of said court the proper charges and_ specifications against the mayor allexing and showing that he is guilty of malfeasance or misfeasance as such oflleer, or that he 18 incompetent or neg leets any of his duties as mayor, or that for any other good and suflicient cause stated, he should be removed from his office s mayor: or whenever th yor shall make and file with the clerk of said court the proper eharges and specilications against any councilman or”other ofticer mentioned in this act, alleging and_ show e is guilty of malfeasanceor miste ofticer, or that he is incompetent or n any of his duties, o tlat fod ay_other good and suflicient eause stated, should be re- moved from his oftice, the judgeof such court may issue the proper Writ fequiring any such oflicer to appear before him on a day therein named, not more thun ten days after the ser- vice of such wilt, together with a copy of such charges and ‘specifications, upon such oflicer, to show canse why he shoula not be «d from hisoflice. ‘The procecdings in ses shall take precedence of all civil il be conducted according to the rules of sueh court in sueh cases made and srovided: and such oficer may be suspended tom the duties of his ofiice during the pend- ing of L proceedings by ordér of said court, < The section c troller of the currenc eity auditor—and deli adopted.
