rived here on the 4:4j o'clock train and
was conveyed to the Folger man
sion by DIR. Smith Mrs. Ernst, the Secre-
tary's sister, arrived by the same train. Az
ter the three entered the room the dying
man gasped, and all was over. Secretary

dackS, the elder in very feeble health. His
son, Captain Charles w. Folger, is at Al
eXandra, Va. All had been written to
come to Geneva, the telegraph not being
earlier reSorted to, as so sudden a termina-
ton of the fathers malady was not appre.
hended. Captain Folger will arrive to-day.

next morning, who gives the following di-

time was while out yachting with friends at
New York, on which occasion he discharged
about pint of blood. Secretary Foger
rode out daily until and including August
20, since which time he has kept his room,
but did not wholly abandon his
official work. He continued to
answer important letters and tele-
grams up to yesterday, and seemed re.
luctant TO give up; yet he was by no means
unconscious of his critical condition. He
intrusted to his personal friend, Captain
Lewis, his final messages to his family
and other directions of confidential nature.
Within a lew moments after the Secre-
tary expired kilograms announcing the sad
event were dispatched to President Arthur,

"The Civil Service Act" says an
official who is acting in the place of
one of the absent Cabinet officers,

In an article on the Federal States
of the World in the current number
of the NineteenM Century, the writer,
speaking ofthe Congress of the Uuit-
ed States, says: mo member of eth
er House can hold any Government
Office or post whatsoever in the Unit
States, being a paid member of the
Legislature. They may, however, be
at the same time members of their
own local Legislature and of the i'm
perial parliament" The writer means
by this last statement that a person
may be an assemblyman or senator
in his own State and at the same time
a member of Congress, which he des-
ignates as the Imperial parliament"
This is not true. 1t would be mani
testify impossible for man to act in
these two capacities at one and the
same time.

THE problem of running railroads
by means of electricity has apparently
been solved successfully. Cars using
this motive power have been run
over a mile of road in Cleveland
Ohio, being started, stopped and re-
versed with perfect ease. The cur
rent is conveyed underground, and
with the machinery now in use, in
Cleveland, any number of cars, up to
fifteen, can be run at one time. A
leading electrician of N. Y, predicts
that the time will soon come when
electricity will supersede horse power
on street railroads and elevated lines
