The Methodist Book Concern.
More than a. year ago tha charge
wns boldly made that the oflk-ert and
employes in and around the "Book
Concorn" were robbing tho Society
that somebody had pocketed a lnrge
amount of profits belonging to the
Concorn.
Tho attempt to investigate the
fraud exceeds even that oi a Con
gressional or LogiHlntive corruption
committee, who aaually exhaust their
time and Intents to cover up frauds,
or, ''how not to discover thorn."
It is bud onougli when ono politi
cian charges another with corruption
and their aiders and abettors attempt
to conccul and cover up tho fraud and
doceivo tho public, but when Chris
tians nllcinpt to shield evil doers on
the congressional plan it is time for a
revolution.
In order to treat the qneslion fairly
wo publish an extract taken from
ll,rptr' Wttkl and another from tho
New York Sun, tho publishers of
which nro warm friends of and mem
bers in high standing in tho M. E.
church, and know whereof they speak.
If the charges ol Dr. Lanahan aro truo,
somebody should bo serving his term
in the Penitentiary instead of in the
Concern ; and if fulso, ho should be
oxpellcd, disgraced and prosecuted
for libol. Now, is there backbone and
moral honesty enough in the II. E.
churcn to probo and expose a fraud or
a falsehood, or has the officiary fallen
into the guttor of Congressional and
Legislative wrongs 1 1 he editor of
Harper' Weekly says :
"Wo call attention to tho very im
portant and suggestive letter of Judgo
Reynolds. It sets forth very clearly
the extraordinary conduct of tho op
ponents of Tr. Lanahan in tho niat'.er
of the alh'i;ed irregularities in tho
Methodist Rook Concern. Since tho
trial of Dr. Lunuhan was suddenly in
terrupted he has been the object of a
series of a most oflensivo articles, and
tho attempt to prejudice public opin
ion against him is manifest. Such a
ourso is as impolitic as it is scanda
lous. From the first moment that
Dr. Lanahan presented his charges
tho conduct 01 the manager of tho
Hook Concern bus certainly been sus
picious. His statements were simplo
and direct. Ho was right, or he wss
wrong. Ho took the full responsibili
ty oi the disclosure, and if he were
shown to have been wrong, tho conse
quences would hare fallen heavily,
and on'y upon himself.
"Whnt then, was the obvious and
honorable couiso f What would any
honoBt man, conscious of unjust accu
sation, have done? He would Iiavo
challenged tho most prompt, promp
lory, and thorough investigation, lie
would have said, 'Horo are my books j
anrutinise them." And he would,
above all things.havo protested aga'nsl
evasion and equivocation of every
kind. Dr. Lanahan has been nlwnys
ready to substantiate hia charges;
and if today nothing has been defi
nitely ascertained if now, toward
the close of tho second year since his
statement was mndo, the inquiry has
been postponed, and tlie whole suojocl
confused in tho public mind, it is not
his lault; nor is he to ulume for the
general imprcsnion in tho country Ihnt !
too sun cci in not, ueur nuncst in-1
restigation.
'.'As we said when the lirst publica
tion was mndu, the honor and interest
of the denomination imporalively ro
miirn the most lillhlic and conclusive
action and if the confidence of many
of the most faithful Methodists has
br-en shaken, if ninny ol them to day
reflect sadly upon all the circumslnnccs
of this affair, it is not becauao Dr.
Lnnahan has mado charges, but do-
cnuse those charge have not been
disproved, and becauso thero is evi
dently moro disposition to abuse him
than to show that uia cuarges are
unfounded.
"The present difficulty is the choice
of accountants to examine tho books,
and Judge Reynolds truly says in his
letter t "If there is nothing wrong in
tho Book Concern, any number of
men of our selection can not find it.
cspcsiitlly whon under the control of
a chiof in whom the other party nas
such confidence. It ia much essier to
conceal than to oreule. Truly Dr.
Cuny was right when he snid that to
outsiders 'it looks very much like a
camo how not to do iu " That la,
anqnestionablv, th general verdict
PRlNCIPLESi
CLEARFIELD, PA WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1871.
The simple way is tho shortest and
best ; and the Book Concern has made
a fatal migtuko in the method it has
chosen to pursue."
The editor of the Sua says :
"If there were any lingering doubt
in the public mind as to the existence
of frauds in the management of the
Methodist Book Concern, it has bcon
removed by the action of Dr. Carlton,
the senior Agent, in appointing, with
out authority, accountants of his own
choosing to make that investigation
of the books of the Concern which
his colleague, Dr. Lanahan, has been
so long and so vainly trying to have
made under tho direction oi an im
partial committoo. Dr. Lanahan is
not even to bo permitted to appoint a
single additional accountant to work
in conjunction with tlioso solccted br
Dr. Carlton. The whole proceeding
is to ho conducted score lit- and wilu
the evidently forgone purpose of mak
ing a report favorable to Dr. Carlton
and his friends. A moro unmistakable
confession of guilt could not well be
imagined.
"Look at tho facts. Dr. Lanahan
has repeatedly and openly declared
that frauds had boon perpetrated, with
details of time, pluoo, and circum
stance. The Book Commilteo has
once distinctly admitted that he told
the truth, and substantially ronewed
tho admission a few week oiro bv
dismissing tbe proceed i ngs aguinst him
as a alandur. But his demand for a
thorough overhauling of the books of
the Concern has boon met by his su
periors with a refitRal, unless he
would consent to Us being conducted
by a committee upon whoso subservi
ency to their desire to prove bim
mistaken they could depend. As ho
remained firm, they wcro placed in
the dilemma of either appeurinir to
stand in the way of any investigation
at all, or permitting it to be made
under conditions which they well
knew would abundantly justify bim.
They tl.crcforo avoided action alto
gcther, and left it to Dr. Carlton to do
what they wished done without im
plicating them. Ho in fact has all
along been the man whoso reputution
Wss really involved in the inquiry.
It was under his administration that
the frauds charged by Dr. Lanahan
were committed, and lie thcrelore has
an interest, bulb as a privalo individ
ual und as a high olliciul of the Metho
dist organisation, in convincing the
publio ol his innoeenco. Under these
circumstances, the inventlgalion ha is
pretending to msko will boot no value,
except as a confession that there are
frauds, and that ho is striving to con
ceal them."
Thk nivattsioNs or Hots. There
Is hardly in the whole range of human
research a more curious or interesting
study for tho philosopher than tho
como and go the ebb and flow, so to
apeak of boyish diversions. Forevery
sort of game or amusement, such as
may bo considered well eslablndied and
stand ard, there is a lime and a season.
There is a season for kites and a tune
for tops, another for stills and month
for marbles. Gun-powder and fire
crackers como aegtilurly twice a year.
Dull and "old sow," und "shinney"
and "hookey" all come and go at their
allotted periods.
All at oncosome exceptional device
appears, and sweeps over the land
liko a vinilation of cholera. And
what i curious about those epidemics
if we may call them such is, that
"no pent-up L'tica contracts their
powers." lioys are attacked by them
all over the country About tho same
lime. The diseuso runs through the
country from Main to Florida, from
ocean to ocean, and for aught we know
to tho contrary it may circle tho earth,
and effect every country. ' Whero the
impiilso comes from by what laws its
movements aro governed bow it
happens that boys in all parts of tho
world aro altsckcd by tho same
games, tricks, devices, and devorsiotia
al the lumo time is a curious aubjocl
for speculation, and something that
philosophy has not yet solved.

First Lieutenant I), G. Fenno, of
the - Meventeonth Infuntrv, United
States Army, and acting Poet Commis
sary at brand Kivor Agency, Dukota
Territory, with hia wil'o and aisler,
arrived on Monday in this city, and
engaged rooms at the Sherman. After
partaking of his dinner, Fenno re-
quested a blank check, and filling it
for $500 usked tho clerk to sond it to
the depository for collection. The
dura; did as requested, and tho men
areur aaou returned with the clteok,
and a noto roquosting the Lieutenant
to cull at the depository. Fenno did
o at once, and found that his neglect
to presoni in ponton lus chock and au
thority lor drawing it was the reason
payment was refused. Settling tho
preliminaries to the aatiafaciion of the
cashier, be received tho $500 and de
parted. About eight o'clock on tho same
evening he visilod a house on Ran
dolph street, to try bis luck at cards.
He was in highly intoxicated con
dition. He sal down at the dealing table
and invested a Ion dollar green b ick ;
he won. Again and again did the
X go in and yield a rich harvest. He
won upwards of $150, and then his
luck changed. He came out loser in
several deals, and bis pilo was reduced
toll).
On the following morning) Wednes
day) hi sister departed forborne, and
her bill was charged up to her broth
er's account. It would appear that
Fenno remembered his previous night
bebauch, for with an ovident intention
to win back all be had lost at the
Dearborn street establishment, he ro
visilod that pluco shortly after dinner,
having seven hundred dollars in his
posscsiion.
JIo was perfectly sober at tho limo,
and drank but sparingly during the
eiitiro uflernoon. His first venture
was (10; ho won, and next time lost.
In a few moment his looses amounted
to upward of $100. Ho then doubled
tho stake, and tho samo luck attended
him. He would win occasionally, but
not often. In an hour ho ho had lost
all the ready money ho had with hi in,
8400. Calling for a blank check, be
filled it nut for $1,000 on the United
Slate Depository. Tho check was
given loan attendant, who shortly
ailorwurd returned with tho money.
Fenno now went in with "big"
money as high as $;100 on a donl.
His losses continued, and by 4 o'clock
uu .r.u. ttinn una nt.
Becoming desperate, Fenno finally
filled out a check ou the dcponilory

by the dealer, w ho was satisfied of its
worth by Fenno's statement of the
position lie held. At 7 o'clock Fenno
arose from tho tnblo without a dollar,
the loser of $3,4(KI.
Maj. Gen. Harlsuff, commandant
of the department in Gen. Sheridan's
absenco, sent for Fenno yesterday
morning, and ordered him to iinmodi
ately repoit himself under arrest to
the commanding General at St. Paul,
Minn., that being tba headquarter of
his department.
Ho slated his fumily to bo wealthy
and prominent person in Wheeling,
Va., and that they would help him out
of his present difficulties. All the
money he lost was Government funds,
but as he wss obliged to give bonds
whon appointed a commissary, the
Government will probably not suffer
by his dishonesty.
About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Fenno called ut the gambling
house, and with tears iu her oyes re
quested money enough to enable her
and her miserable husband to leave

which Fenno shortly after paid his

account of a special clinic at the Jef

1 wo beaded girl, known as Chriatina
Millio, was submitted to a scientific
anatomical examination. A mong oth-
or prevent wcro Profs. Pane-oust,
urmsoy, J.und and Gross, and several
surgeons tl groat reputation. The
Press account proceeds :
"The doublo headed girl, or twins,
or wbatovcr she may be called, was
introduced by Dr. W. H. Pancoast,
and a general thrill of astonishment
was felt when it was discovered that
instead of a monstrosity, there was
exhibited to the . professional men
present weJI educated, intelligent,
quick-witted girl, with nothing about
lior that evn. .liuli4t0d to ofTvlld lllC
most fastidious, but which at once
stamped hor as a wonder, and a source
of scientific information to those learn
ed in the anatomy of the human form.
ur. I'ancoast stated that the body had
been placed under hi professional
care, and owing to tho important
question involved, a privalo exami
nation bad been made bv Professors
Pancoast and Gross and Drs. Sevie
and Andrews, which bad verified all
the opinions expressed a to her per
fect duality. It was then slated that
this remarkable freuk of nature was
united at the lateral posterior portion
of tho pelvis, while above that portion
mey wcro separated had separate
chests, two pair of fully developed
arms, but only one trunk. With tho
double bead they possessed soparato
intellectual fucullies as entirely dis
tinct as the brain powor of two differ
ent individuals, while thoir faoc re
floct intelligence of a high order, and
amiability. The lower portions of
1110 body incline outward Horn each
side, und the lower limbs were inferior
and not so fully developed as the arm.
A sorics of experiments were mndo by
Prof Pancoast and others culctiluled
to demonstrate the construction of the
nervous system, and which showed
tlnit while above tho junction the
senso of feeling was separate und din
ti net in each, below the union It was
in common. A touch upon tho foot
of ono would bo instantly riutoctod by
tho othur, while a hand placed upon
either shoulder was only noticed by
tho 0110 touched. Tho pulse of Millie,
the feebler of the two, wss found to
bo about four heals slower than that
of Chrissy, whilo the beat of tho two
hearts was nearly tho same. An im
promptu performance was given at
the clinic, in order to show tho agility
of the girl, and dances were executed,
oonversutiuii curried nu between tbe
two bonds, and conversations with two
different persons al 0110 and tho same
time. They stood upon Ihcir outor
limbs, walked about w ith a pleasing
undulating motion, and Chrissy, the
stronger of tho two, lifted the other
by tho ligaluro at tho pelvis, merely
by inclining her body to one side. A
song was sung, one Inking the soprano,
and the other the alto. Tho universal
opinion expressed by the faculty wn,s
that the caso was a rare one, and its
equal might never iifjain b seen in tho

On Friday, January 27, the floor of

aged 67, weighs 6G0 pounds.
The entire family are living, and
not one of them weighs less than 500

C."0 pounds. Kot one of tbe family is
less than 7 feet in bight, and tho Colo

William camo to Monravia, Morgan
county, wilh a horse and buggy and
put up ut a hotel. In the evening be
proposed accompany the landlord lo
church, and on the way stated that tie
was a minister of the gospel, and weald
like to preach that evening. Ab the
pulpit happened to be vacant his offer
was accented, and he preached an ac
ceptable sermon, which toon brought
iiuu into luvorable notice, and guinea
tho confidence of the people. Ho soon
disponed of hia horse and buggy, bought
some good clothoi with tbe money, and
went lo preaching regularly, and ex
ceeded in working himself into tho
favor of every one. The day before tha
Presidential election be borrowed a
horse of an unsuspecting friend to ride
to meeting, promising to be back in
time to vote for Gram tho next day.
JNcxt day came and the next came
without bringing either preacher or
horse. A week passed before suspi
cion was aroused, and tbe next heard
from him was that ho had appeared
in Franklin, Johnson couuty, as Henry
ilaon, sold the horse lor a trifling
sum, and decamped for parts anknowo.
Further inquiry revealed tho fact that
he bad been married, and had a wife
and three children at Greencastle, In

him to justice. A justice warrant was
issued and a putso mado tip to defray
expenses. Mr. Charlos Ballard vol-
ouloered to go uncr him. On arriv
ing at Rensselaer, Mr. Ballard at onco
secured tho assistanco of the sheriff.
and proceeded to arrest him. Tbey
found the scoundrel spending the
evening witb a young lady to whom
ho was engaged to be married in a few
days. When called upon by tho offi
cers, he pretended not to recognize
Mr. Mallard, and demanded their busi
ness; and when Mr. Ballard intro
duced himself, and stated what be
wanted, he denied ever being at Mon
rovia, but said be had a twin brother
who bore almost an exact resemblance
to bim. Ballard told bim that the re
semblance was so close that be would
answer tho purpose, und without more
ado snapped the handcuffs upon his
wrists.
As soon as ho found himself fairly
bagged, he at once throw off bis hyp
ocritical mask, and bus over sines been
one of the most blusphemous wretches
that ever cursed the earth. It should
bo staled here that on his arrival at

as a minister of iho M. E. church, from
Murlinshtirg, J (la i r county, Pennsyl
vania, giving his name as Robert Mo
Williums. Inquiries at that place
elicited the fuel that ho bad marriod
thero lind deserted his wife, but not
her money. On tho way down ho
got somewhat intoxicated, and was .
very communicative, told Ballard that
a Methodist preacher could live the
easiest, and have the best times of
anybody. Whilo passing through La
layette and Indianapolis, ho pointed
oul a number of houses of prostitution
which no had visited, and related
sundry adventures in which "wine
and women" wero st the bottom.
He was brought to Monrovia on the
morning of tho 3rd, and after a pre
liminary examination in the afternoon,
was taken to iho Martinsville jail next
morning On arriving in thojail next
