The DefaIcaiion i'm The Methodist Book
Concern.

NEW YORK, June 20.-The agents of the
Methodist Book Concern frankly furnish all de-
slrable information about the embeZzlement of
their assistant CASHIER Henry Screber, whom
they have sent to Ludlow street jail. Henry
Screlber, who is thirty years of age, has been
IN the employ OF the concern as assistant cash.
Ter ever since he attained his majority A fort
night ago, while Mr.. Nelson, the senior agent
OF the book concern, was in Baltimore spending
the conference, young Screiber sought friend
and confessed to him in the hope that his friend
would either lend him money with which to
make good what he had embezzled or suggest
some means by which exposure might be de-
ferred. The person to whom Scrieber made
known the truth carried the news to the book
concern, and without fully exposing the Gull
prlt disclosed enough of the truth to bring Mr..
Nelson to the city. Mr. Nelson on the morn
ing after his return called Screiber to him and
told him that his position must be surrendered
For years Screiber carried the KEYS of the
safe and of the cashiers desk and money draw
ers, and these he delivered to Mr.. Nelson Then
at Mr. Nelson's command he wrote full con-
fessioD of his speculation. Between what be
wrote and what he said Mr.. Nelson learned
that for long time Scrieber had been speculat-
ing in Wall street, mostly in Pacific mail
stocks. He used his own money in the begin
ming. Occasional profits, once to the extent of
nearly four thousand dollars, inspired him and
he got in deeper and deeper. A few months ago
he began to lose and his own money soon be.
came exhausted, and be fed his broker with
book concern bonds that had been entrusted to
the agents OF the concern by their owners for
safe keeping: In this way he stole $4,000
worth of bonds

dry Goods Market,

NEW YORK, June 20.-The Bulletins weekly
review OF the New York dry goods market says:
The Wooden goods market have improved tone
and more active at the close of the week 10000
pcs fine and medium Woolens were successfully sold
at auction. Beached shirtings were in fair demand
by jobbers and for export, but other cotton goods
ruled quiet and in lair demand. Piques were sold
at lower prices by some agents, while ground fancy
and shirting prints fairly active for the time of
year, and the former in light supply. Ginghams
and cotton dress goods are sluggish, and worsted
dress goods moved slow. Shawls and hosiery dull
and foreign goods very quiet.

CARLTON, St. Johns, n. B.. Feb. 20, 1875.
Dear Sir: Allow me to state the following facts
For ten years my daughter had been troubled with
Catarrh; it was continually growing worse, and we
had at last given up all hopes of her ever being cured
for to all appearances she in the last stages of
consumption; her appetite was gone, and her whole
system was completely run down. Seeing your adj
vertisement in one of our papers, as last resort
purchased box, little thinking it would be of any
benefit to her, had tried numerous articles both
here and in the United States. 1 am now happy to
state that one box of Rader's German Smut has
made a complete cure Her appetite is good, and
she is fast recovering her wonted health and happi-
ness. Very gratefully yours,
GEORGE II. ESTEY.
Suffering reader, don't get discOur-
aged if you have spent hundreds Of dol
lars on worthless trash without any
real benefit, but remember that in this
simple German RENE y you have a cure
that is always safe and sure, and in the
use of this there is

ST. LOUIS, June 2S.-There was hot work
last night In all the delegations, and the
committee on resolutions, and the second
day OF the convention opens with an embit-
tered feeling over the platform and the can
didates.
THE ANTI-TILDE FEELING
has become SO intense that IL is probable
that John Kelley will assail Tilden when his
name is presented. If SO there will be a. lively
row In the convention. Congressman Glover
and others charge that Tilden's friends are
using money with and furnishing railroad
passes, etc., TO delegates. On the other hand,
been issued In circulars here against Tilden
telegraph that they were Improperly used,
and that they will support Tilden.
TILDEN NOT GAINING.
The latter has not gained materially since
yesterday, and may possibly fail yet to Sc
cure the requisite two thirds vote. The best
estimate of the delegate vote this morning
Allen A., Bayard 80. Parker Is, DAVIS 4. TIL

There was
