WASHINGTON, October 5.-The accepted
theory respecting Secretary Folger, in
Washington, today, WIS tiat he would not
resign until tho first Of next year, unless,
indeed, he should be forced out by |tl,e
strongest kind Of pressure. As q promi.
mont official in tho Treasury Department
said today, Judge Folger believes that he
has made good Secretary Of tho Treasury.
lie Is proud oi Ills course at the head Of the
Treasury Department, and Of his connec-
ton with such events In the financial his
tory OF the country rs the retundiny ol more
than 500, 10000 Of the indebtedness OF the
United slalcs In bonds bearing interest al
the rate OF three per cent, the lowest Gov.
ernmcnt rate III the world; the extension
Of the charters OF National banks, and tlle
issuance oiguld certificates. u Sy;S {
He has II very natural desire to remain
in his present office until Congress meets
nj least, in order that he may have the
pleasure Of presenting 10 that body, in IN
annual report his own account Of what OF.
Cured in his Department since he became
It's head. u, r1 M n Il .7&i.
J. Judge Folger is hopeful Of election il,
New York, and looks forward with pleasur.
able anticipation 10 the moment when, ay
Governor.elect Of New York and Secretary
of.the Treasury Of the United Suites, liz
sllnll be able to point with the finger Of
pride to the progress made during his nd.
niinistration Of the finances Of the Nation.
OF course, it is Just possible that the hringr ~
New York politicians may become
impatient and force the old gentleman,
out, but the probability is TINT
"Ancicnt Muttonchops," as Mr.. Conk.
ling calls him, will remain ut the head Of
the Treasury Department for another
month or twoa least. Whenever his sue.
cessor is spoken OF the same old names arc
brought forward. 1t would probably sur.
prise the majority Of the people here il
anybody outside Of the little circle held ID
be.available now-Crowley, Jones, Of Ne.
yaIa, Allison, Of Iowa, and Malone. ol
Virginia--should be selected us Secretary
OF the Treasury after Mr.. Folger goes 10

ment is made in this connection, that Com.
missioner OF Internal Revenue Raum did
not propose to return TO the city OF Wash.
ington until Mr folger left it permanent.

between these gentlemen ever since last
winter, when they differed as to the bcsi
way Of extending the whisky bonds.

two wceksthe people in and about this

committed various dcpradations in this

Der the animal made frequent visits 10 the
past fortnight the beast has killed about n
score Of sheep, n twO.year old bull and n
yearling colt in this vicinity. The bcast
seems content to suck the blood OF its VIC

TINT such an unwelcome stranger was in

that there was pair Of the precious ani.

what they thought WIS the trail OF a cub,
tracked him to clump OF bushes. Find.
ing that the animal had not passed out OF

covery. Mr.. Crowell took his gun and
started to kill!ttle supposed cub. ARRIVING
Mt, the cluinp Of bushes lie eot down on his
hands and knees, and commenced to work
his way through them. He had proceeded
but short distance when hG, found him
