The cottages belonged to brothers. The
only drinking water for the two houses

rented by Kreich. There was some mis-.
understanding recentlyover this well water,

Kreich, it is said, forbade Giritzki from
drawing water, and Is claimed he threaten.

twenty feet from the well. Just as the girl,

WASHINGTON, October 3--The departure

night was, II Is said, In obedience TO mn
earnest rcqnes. from the Presidents politi.
cal adviser for tho purpose Of consulting
about the Secretaryship Of tho Treasury,
which It is expected will become vacant In
n short time. The; Stalwarts here seem TO
be more confident that Judge Folger will
resign Immediately, there being no moro
doubt Of his acceptance oi tho nomination
for Governor. It is taken for granted that
Judge Folger would not remain In the Cubi.

result Of the election in New York may be,
and rs his prospects for election may bo

They say the fact. that Judge Folger, before

as the influences which have been brought
10 bear upon him since he left this city
have changed his purpose. Mr.. Chandler,
last week, had no expectation that the

Six Hundred New Pension CLERKS.
, WASHINGTON, October 3.-There is some
diilicullyexperenced in the Pension Office
in the assignment Of the extraordinary
force Of clerks recently. appointed. One
trouble, is the lack OF desks and another
the natural greenness OF beginners. There
have been about six hundred clerks ap-
pointed in the Pension Office within a
month. For these us many desks must be
provided. The desks must be made, and
several hundred desks cannot be turned
out in few days, even by the government
shops. These desks are very simple and
designed TO fill us little space rs possible.
The main pension building is very much
crowded and space is at premium.
About half Of the new appoihtees have
been assigned to duty, many Of them he.
ing placed in the old Republican building,
recently occupied by the Census Bureau.
The new clerks require instructions from
the more experienced. 1t will be some
time before the force becomes actively ell.
cient. 1t will be impossible for them all
to get ut work before the latter part OF the
present month"; while some will be re.
quircd in the States until after tue fall cleo.
tions. Most OF the new appointees who
have begun have been assigned to duty as
examiners.
The accumulation OF pension cases is
something enormous. Many OF the claim.
ants have died since filing and the dilIicul.
" OF obtaining evidence on which 70 estab.
lish certain classes OF cases has been greatly
increased by the lapse Of time. This is es.
pecially the case with dependent father
and mother claims. Where the soldier
filed his evidence and has since died it is
comparatively easy TO obtain evidence.
Most OF the claims for pensioners bave to
be suspended for additional evidence OF
some kind. As severy examiner is neccssa
Lrily both judge and jury in the cases before
ihim, subject TO the pension laws and rules
Eof the Pension Office, great care is being
Exercised to get him started of right The
new system Of special agents IS said tc

A REMARIkABLE CASE,
The Persistence WIN WiiIcln I Mrs. h. ".

The Persistence With Which Mrs. Vnck.
erie has Fought Her Insurance Suit. }
WASHINGTON October 3.-The published
reports Of the remarkable Wackerle case,
now on trial in St. Louis, will recall to
many persons, especially in New England,
tho zeal Of the plaintiff, Mrs. Walpursa
Wackerle, exhibited for many years in
collecting evidence which would satisfy
two insurance companies that her husband
was dead: The story Of her journeys has
been published more than once, not only
in New England, but in distant parts
Of the country. Many have listened
TO her and trusted her, helped her
on her way, and many have be.
lieved that her case was one Of peculiar
hardship. 1t was partly by. her own hard
labor that the premiums were paid SO long
as she did not know That her husband was
dead. Two or three times; she journeyef
without money from one end OF the United
States TO the other, visiting the place in
one OF the Gull States where her husband
lost his lfe,and getting additional evidence
to lay before the companies. 1OlTers to
compromise with her she steadily refused,
and ut last the prosecution of the claim be.
came her sole object in life. Nothing
but the kindness Of theiipeople enabled
her TO pursue her work, for she had
nothing but tile clothes she wore,
and the bundle Of papers, Which she
carefully guarded. Wien it was announ.
ced that her husband has been discovered
alive, and stories were published which
indicated that her pursuit had not been an
honest one, il was very hard for those who
had known her to believe that she had
been guilty OF deception It was expected
that the poor woman would then give up
the fight, but it now appears tlint She did
not despair, and the testimony indicated
that those who trusted her were not mis-.
led. The story Of her life would be a
strange and interesting one, and il she has
been guilty OF fraud she is one OF the most
remarkable imposters OF the age.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-Thc political

becoming almost rs hot as in Virginia, and
us in the latter State, the Anti.BouIbon el.
cment is receiving tic earnest support OIL
the Administration, rs far, at least, rs pat.

seen in the frequency Of removals for po.

that State. The latest move in that direc.
ton took place to-day, when orders were
issued for the removal OF eight postmas.
tiers at the request Of leading Republicans.
