TALK ABOUT APPOINTMENTS. ‘There 1s much Conjecture as to the appoint ments, but thus far there are but few changes hamed In which the slate makers are not at $a. It is, however, generally conceded that lr. Lanahan, of the Foundry church, Washingt \n, Will be sent to Fayette street, Baltimore, a: there {8 a strong probability that Rev. W. M Kenney, of ine, Washington, will to Wesiry, in the same city, and Rev. T. L. Poul- Ser, Of Baltimore, will take Mr. Mc. For tbe Foundry the names of Rev a rmeily of t Dr., Gibson, now of Baltimore; Dr. y. W.F. Ward and others are named. { probable that Rev. Dr. Newman will be ed, although there are maany here who weuld be pleased to have him tn the District. A few weeks ago an effort was made by some of lus friecds in the Metropoittan church, 1n Washington, to secure his return, but Rev. RK. N. Baer having served but one year there, this project would not work. The interest of the Foundry are being looked atter by Listrict. Commissioner Morgan and Mr. E. F. Simpson, of Washington. Mr. W. R. Woodward is of course mindful of the tateresis of Wesley. Rumor has it that Revs. W. Deale, of Wesley;_L. Gardner, of Ryland, and E. D. Owen, of Mt, Zion, will be it to Baltimore churches, and that Rev. $8. M. Hartsock and S. Shannon, who have each served at Upton and Kvland, wil be sent to Wasblagton churches. THE PRESIDING ELDER QUESTION. Quite a lively debate occurred this morning tu the conference on the presiding elder ques. tion. Key. Dr. Dashiell presented a resolution recommending the appointment of a commit- lee of five to consider the propriety of asking the Bishop of the next conference efther to in- crease or Giminish the number of presiding el- ders. If the number be tacreased, to have them stationed as other ministers, and’ 109k after the iv terests of thelr districts; 1£ decreased, t2 con- tinue them in the one work as at the present ume. We have now but five presiding elders’ Is in our conference, and the charges witain, their Dounds are so numerous as to reniefit absolutely Impossidie for the presiding elcer to meet more than oue-haif of his engage. ments tn aitending quarterly meeiings, huis oy beibg supplied by ministers appointed by a OTHER CONFERE!

Their report is always Ustened to with rauch Interest, as afew effective men, travellng hard cireuits or occupying poor stations, are benefited, as collections are Piaced th their hands, by’ individual ministers, aisbursement, known as the “conference collection.” ‘The main object of this collection is lo ald supernumerary abd superanuated mine isters—those In feeble health or worn out ia the e—and the widows andi orphans of de pivachers. Phililps, of the Now 1. E. Book Concern, addressed the con ference. Bishop Bowman remarked that he knew of ne publishing house tn America tha’ could furnish Cheaper publications. Rev. Dr. Harmon, Professor in Dickinson College, one of our most learned men, addressed the confer- fereice ON the subject of higher educatton. He insisted on the collegtate course as essenttally necessary before taking the theological, tn order to a thorough preparation for the ministry. The committee on the character of ‘jocal Preachers reported “there are some who devote allthe time and energy they can command to the work of the ministry, and are excelled ip devotedness and efticlency by few, If any, of the traveling ministry; but there are oumers who never perform any strictly ministerial service. They do not seek flelds of usefulness nor the fields open at their doors, Why they are licensed or retained fs a mystery. It would seem fitting that when the call to preach expired they Should lay aside the semblance of what they are notin principle or practice—ministers of the gospel.” The report disclaims any reflection on thelr moral character.

PaRNeaM's CONFESSION, A8 stated in Saturday’: Star, George H. Farn- bam, the ex-clerk in the old board of audit, was brovght here from Sing Sing prisor Friday Dignt last and taken by Dectective McEifresh before the District Commissioners, when he voluntarily offered to make a fill statement of the facts as to his connection with the $11,000 sewer bond theft. This confession was made in presence of Mr. Riddle, attorney for the Dis- iriet; Mr. Ritchie, who subsequently came toto pcs-ession of the bonds; and the prisoner’s at— torney, Mr. Jeremiah Wilson. The statement Was taken down In short hand and sul juent- ly written out In full. Farnham sald he took the bonds from the board of audit himself. ‘They were kept under the counter just at his feet where his place wasinthe room. They were tied up in bundles and at the time he took them he had no tdea that they were of any value, but one day he pulled a few out and took them home with him as curtosities, At taat time he was drinking very hard and spending a g:¢at deal of money foolishly, and the thought then occurred to him of disposing of them for money with which to buy whisky. The cancel- lation was simpiy astamp mark, and very fajnt at that, 60 that ft could bardly be noticed what it was, and It was tie eastest thing to erase tt, which he did with soap and water. Had he thought at that Ume that they could be disposed OF be could have taken out $100,000 of them and alspoced of them tn the same way he had done the $11,000; and there was nothing to have pre- verted the rest of the clerks trom doing the same. The bonds were opeu and he could easily have taken more. He bad taken in tho nefitti- b rhood of $11,000, He bad no knowledge of avy ore tise taking bonds aw SELLING THE CANCELLED BONDS. Tie did not remember how long he kept them Difore disposing of them; he was drinking at tust (ime, aud his memory Is cloudy about the wetter, But he thinks he took them in Fo rvary or March, 1576, and soid them In May of Le seme year, just about the time of the Cen- tennial, 88 he Wanted money to go there. ‘The first sale was to Gen. Whittaker, and he Lbtaks he cold him two $500 bonds for wiuch he go Cents on the dollar, making #359. He (rarn- bem) made no statement to Whittaker a3 to where he got them, and Whittaker was inno- cent about it. ‘The next sale was to Mr. Heary }. Davis, who kept an office at the Metropoil- tan bank. The first sale to him was, Farn- ham thinks, $1,500. He made two gales to him afterwards, He sold him $5,000 at 35 cents. He thinks this sale was after he went to the Centennial—in July, he thinks, but tt might have been in August or September. That made $4,500 sold to H. F. Davis. He ata not-re- member whether or not he had sold a second batch to Gen. Whittaker, but he thinks he did, but how many he aid not remember. The rate he soid them was 35 centson the dollar. He afterwards left some with Gideon W. Larner, Who was employed by Peter Campbell in his Dianch oMice on 43g street, where Gen, Watt- taker’s office ts now. He gave them to Larner who tock them to Campbell to sell for him (Farnham). He could not say for certain that Peter Campbell knew they were crooked, ont his Impression ts that Campbell knew what he Was buying, as Mr. Larner remarked to him, “why don't you go to Mr. Campbell yourself? He replied, *Gid,, I don’t know Peter Campbell, hor what ‘sort of a fellow he fs; I don’t kno! whether he will have anything crooked or no Larner said, “O, hell, be will buy anything. Be did not know whether Larner told Mr. Campbell, He sold the balance he bad to ‘ampbell. He went to see J. M. Starr about them once, but don’t think he took any. All that he sold were to Whittaker, Henry F. Davis ana Peter Campbell, the latter through Larrer, At this time he was SORRY THAT HE BAD NOT TAKEN MORR, as he was waking a Deast of himself drinking whisky. No one but his witeknew he had these bonds, and she did nol know anything aboat his business. He left the District in August last. He had made no secret of where he had been since, nor where he was stopping aaw He bad written to Mr, Allen In the surveyo Ofiice, to Mr. Fradk Stlison aud a half a dozen others. He had come voluntarily to this city with Detective McEitresh. AN RASY STEAL. Here Mr. Jeremiah Wilson took up the exam- ination, which elicited the facts that the bonds were Ucd upina bundle and throwr flcor. He pulled them from the bund dis Nngers for curiosity, not knowiny 16 worth acent, If theté are any tore missing he knew nothing of it. The: four eb ployed behind the counter—Mr. Mills, Mr. Ford, Mr. Seikey and himself, Oniy some tay- crite friends were allowed to go veuind the counter; there was no dificulty in carrying away @ milion of them, nor was there any dii- ficulty in removing the cancellaulon marks. He did not remember the numbers on the certiti- cates. He cut off the coupons and pasted them on the face of the bonds. The reason for this Was that he had some long envelopes, and the Le Neer Was to get them in these envelopes ‘Without too much folding, FARNHAM’S TALK TO A STAR REPORTER. After the close of the statement made by Farnham, he was permitted to return to police head uarters and cautioned not to talk about the matter. Here he stated to a Star ter tbat he had no secrets about these boi he law could not reach him, as the statute of lim- italien barred a prosecution agalnst him. He knew this before he lett New York with Mr. McEltresh. He could have given Mr. Me- Elfresh & good deal of trouble bad he chosen to demand his authority to arrest him, but he knew nothing could be done with him. The present District authoritles had no knowledge Of the abstraction of these bonds at all. ie stated that since he had been at the Comris- Siovers’ cliice and given bis statement, Mr. McE:tresh had brought to him one of u ceruficates, = whica had been celied, with the word written tn red ink 8 “ ncel. 88 the face and an ¢ tempt been made to erase the red ink in a most bungling manner. McEifresh asked him if he had lest anything in the Commissioners office and on bis replying **No,” he produced this certificate, which was for old material, and sald come one of the employes had picked it up in the passage In the Commissioners’ oilice a short time before, and some one had suggested that he (Farnham) had droppedit. This made him abgry, as the attempt had been made by some ove in that office to injure him by cre- ating the tmmpression that he (I.) had this In his pocket and had drop it designedly or otherwise, He scouted the idea, and said if he bad any such paper as this, he would have sold it long ago and put {it in whisky. Some onein there wanted to injure him. Ue didn’t know wno it was, but it was a fool's attempt. He stated this morning to & Stak reporter that the oilice of the board of audit was run with perfect looseness, aud If he had known when he first went Into it as much as he knew the last two months he was there he could have taken millions of this kind of paper away. But little care was given to cancelling redeemed paper, every one of which should have been cut ffectually or mutilated in some way. He proposed to leave for bome this evening, as he had got through what he Was sent for. He belfeved this certtlcate found On the floor had been absiracted by some one in the oflice since he had come here for the pur- pose of throwing suspicion on him. He could tell them something about old material it -he cheose to, but had not been asked. When asked how it was Uthat the expert selected by the committee gr Congress to investigate the bodrd of audir't bocks and papers, (Mr. John Morris), had not discovered the loss of these bonds he, satd tt iad been discovered and brought out there, bat uo publicity given to It, as Ulls matter, with other crooked acts, had been sent by that cora- mittee to the District grand jury to make in- dictmeats. Why the grand jury had not done fo he could not tell, but had often wondered whygthey did not. IP 18 A QUESTION OF CONSIDERABLE INTEREST a8 to who is to be held responsible for the tssue Asecond time of these certitleates, or rather, Who Is to be the looser, If the District author- {ules did not use proper vigilance in the caa- cellation of them after their Cee ny Dat by the carelessness of {ts officials suffered them to be used a second tme, it is held by legal gen- tlemen that the losswill fall upon the District. ‘This is, however, a matter for the courts to de- termine.

SWALLOWING POISO: SWALLOWING and inhaling the noxious impu- rities generated by Catarrh, POISON not alone the nasal organs, but the stomach and lungs. No merely LocaL remedy, like douches and insoluble snuife, can possibly reach or eradicate the virulent sporules of Catarrh. This fact explains the won- derful cures effected by Dr. WEI DE MEYERS new INOCULATIVE treatment. The elements used by him are ABSORBED by the mucous mem- brane throughont the system and form a OONSTI- ‘TUTIONAL as well as local antidote, as certain to OURE OATARKEG, as vaccine virus is to prevent Small-pox. Its unprecedented sale with unsolic- ited testimopials from many thousands who, at ALL STAGES of the disease, HAVE BEEN UURED by this wonderful remedy, establish beyond con- tradiction, the fact that WEI DE MEYER’S Ca- TARBH OURE is tho most important medical discovery since vaccination.
