FLED WITH BANK'S FUNDS William Schrieber, of Elizabeth, N.

He I,?mI it City I.Iff In New York City?lie Ih Sniil foBo In Kuropc. Elizabeth. N. J. (Speciali.?William Schrieber, n trusted clerk of the Klizibethport Banking Company, who has not been seen here since August 2, ivas found to have stolen $10(5,000 the bank's money. This beardless l*oung man, who has yet to see his Iwenty-flfth year, has proved himself, so the bank officers say. one of the most expert of thieves and an adept it twisting accounts so as to deceive even the keen bank examiners. Sehrieber's peculations go back at least three years and effect a great many accounts. The general ledger r?f tin' institution indicates that 5220,000 is due its depositors. The sum total of their pass hooks shows Hint they have deposited $3117.000 in the bank. The difference. Sioti.oon. is the amount stolen through a simple system of peculation by Schrieber. The money was spent in fast living in New York City, and those who knew the young man believe it was spent as it was stolen. The bank officers attribute their loss to the cramped condition of the old offices, which allowed any person in their employ to pet at the money, and also to their faith in the Integrity of young Schrieber. The missing clerk had several times been suspected of stealing, but the closest watching failed to reveal any snortcouitngs. on August ho wont on his vacation, ami his books wore examined. but nothing wrong was dis[ ovoml. When he ?lid not return.however. and reports of his fast life in New* York t'ity were received, another and more careful examination was made, and it was found that he had juggled accounts so as to make them appear all right. The directors of the bank met and made good the loss. The directors placed Hie matter of apprehending the missing man in the hands of a detective agency. He is believed to have sailed for Europe about three weeks ago. Sclirieber lived in a modest frame cottage in Elizabeth with his aged mother, his brother. Henry, and his sister, Annie. lie entered the employ of the bank about ten years ago, when it tirst opened, as an errand boy. and worked up to the position of bookkeeper. While organized as a State bank, the bank has been looked upon as an an ' nex of the First National Itauk of Elizabeth, of which Senator Kean is | President. The capital is UJOO: surplus. .f no.ooo.
