DEATH OF Az OLD CITIZEN.

Captain I. B. Folger, an old and
well known citizen, a resident of
Memphis for the last thirty years,
died at a latO hour last night at his
residence n this city. He was born
in New York in the year 1905, and
was therefore seyenty-two years
old, although not appearing to be
more than ffty-eight or sixty. He
went to sea at an early age, and
spent come twenty-five years of his
life as a sailor. He lived at Charles
ton, South Carolina, many years,
and that was his home previous
to coming to Memphis. Captain
Folger was by profession q civil
engineer, and was a gentleman Of
Gue scientific attainments and lite
rary culture. BY nature he was Of
a generous, poetic and humorous
temperament ; genial, refined and
gifted much loved abroad; asso-
ciated on intimate terms with such
men as John G. Calhoun and Hum
phrey Marshall and other men OF
that class; a soldier il the Semi
mole war under jackson; the asso-
ciate of soldiers and poets and
statesmen, he had a vast fund of
general knowledge and was a most
genial companion. Thus has passed
away an old and respected citizen,
whose loss will be felt by a large
circle Of friends, and especially by
the class known US Old Folks at
Home.

The Republican papers are talk
ing very sweetly now. The words
rebel, bulldozer, kuklux, cut-throat,
so freely used some time ago, rarely
appear now. The New York Tri.
buns says of Hayes: Winning
only by a hair, and in circumstances
which insure the defeat of his party
hereafter unless he can bring new
strength to its standard, Mr.. Hayes
cannot afford to consult Republican
partisans alone. He will be COM
PEELED to seek the support of the
best men at the North and the
most progressive men at the South
who have not been identified with
the Republican party. In short
circumstances will compel him to
be precisely what the country has
desired and needed, a truly national
President"

THOMPSON q SMITHS LUMBER
OFFICE, IN ANDALUSIA,
BuRGLARIzED
Their Safe Blown Open and Robbed of
$500.

Everything was excitement in Andalusia
this morning, over the report that Thomp
son & Smiths lumber Office. in that place.
was entered by burglars last night, the
safe blown open, and 5000 had been
stolen. Mr.. Smith, who came up on the
Louisa, this forenoon gives the following
statement of the affair:
heard that our Office had been burg
arized, this morning, and on going there
found it was true The burglars had
pried open the front door with bar of
iron; cut hole in the top of our safe with
a cold chlsel; filled the hole with what
must have been an immense charge of
power, which was explodeG-for the door
OF the safe was blown Z OF 8 feet away, and
the safe itself was bent, bulged and
cracked 10 every direction. Every pane OF
glass in the building was blown out, and
plasterlng, office furniture, etc., scattered
in every direction. The safe was from
Beard u Bros, st. Louis, about II years
old, but had new combination lock.
There was a package of about $500 be-
longing to the firm, and one OF about $l05
belonging to the heirs of Lucinda Eby in
the safe last night, and this morning the
, $500 package was gone. In room
adjoining the Office were number of
doors leaning against the solid plastered
partition between the two rooms, and the
conclusion was SO great that these doors
were thrown over and scattered about the
room. Tie clock. which stood on mantel,
in the Office, was thrown to the floor, and
stopped at l 40 o'clock-probably the mo
ment when the explosion occurred. Asa
Parker, living two blocks away, and many
other residents, heard the explosion anc
felt the shock-but none appeared to take
enough interest in the matter to get up, al
there was only one explosion, and no telling
where that came from.
There is no clue to the burglars as yet
though Mr.. Smith does not think tn,
; robbers live more than thousand miles
D from Andalusia. Until they have beef
s captured or found the people will insis
that it was done, as usual, by-tramps.

Dear SSr:-l thank you very much
for your favor of the 9th, inst, and the
papers you were so kind as to send me-
| have had time to glance at them only,
but enough to call up many pleasant
recollections of my residence at Rock Is
land more than third of a century ago.
/ then thought it the pleasantest spot on
earth, and tune has wrought nc
great change 10 my opinion, in
that regard. Should / ever GET
time to write out some Of my Temem
brances OF those times, as you desire, |
shall take great pleasure in doing so.
1t seems but yesterday when at an
early hour on a bright June morning, or
the steamer DesMoines, Capt. Lafferty,
| first caught sight of the spot where
the cities of Rock Island and Davenport
have since arisen, As approaching from
above, a fairer vision never came within
the observation of mortal eye. Everything
then was nearly in state of nature. anC
the green and sloping shores, with thu
bluffs 10 the distance. and intervening
space covered by oak openings presented
scene of enchantment
found my early and devoted friend
Hon. J. B. Wells, residing at Stephenson
(Rock Island) and required no great per
suasion from him to induce me to e
ashore. This was in 1889. Time ant
change has not caused me to forget tina
two of the pleasantest years of IN
life were spent IN your then infant city
Very truly yours,
