Geneva, N. Y., Set 5.---Secretary
Folger died here at 4 :'A o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Tho only persons present were
Mrs. Hart, his deceased wife's sister, Dr.
Knapp, law associates, his family physician,
Dr. A. B. Smith, and his colored servant,
James. Dr. Smith and Captain J. S. Lewis
had left him but a few minutes previously.
Dr. II. Foster, who had been here two or
tlneti times as a consulting physician, ar
rived here on tho 4: 45 o'clock train and
was conveyed to the Folger man
sion by Dr. StnitlL Mrs. Ernst, the Secre
tary's sister, arrived by the same train. Af
ter the three entered tho room the dying
man gasped, aiid all was over. Secretary
Folger's two daughters are in the Adirou
dacks, the elder in very feeble health. His
eon, Captain Charles W. Folger, Is at Al
exandria, Va. All had been written to
come to Geneva, the telegraph not being
earlier resorted to, as so sudden a termina
tion of the father's malady was not appre
hended. Captain Foker will arrive to-day.
The Secretary returned for tho last tiitto
to Geneva on Wednesday evening, At gust
0. Ho called his family physician tho
next morning, who gives the following di
agnosis of the case: Great feebleness of
the heart's action, congestion of tlie middle
lobe of the right lung, and capillary' conges
tion of the bronchial tubes; torpor of the
liver, ami albuminous discharge of the
urine, showing disease of the kidneyt,.
The doctor was informed that tlio Secre-
ary had had hemorrhage of the lungs three
times of late, before his return. The first
time was while out yachting with friends at
New York, on which occasion ho discharged
about a pint of blood. Secretary Folger
rode out daily until and including August
20, since which time he lias kept it is room,
but did not wholly abandon his
official work. He continued to
answer important letters and tele
grams up lo yesterday, ami seemed re
luctant to nive up; yet lie was by no means
unconscious ot Ins critical condition. Ho
intrusted to Ids tersoual friend, Captain
.;wis, ids final messages to Ills family
and other directions of a confidential nature.
Within a tew moments after the heere
tary expired, telegrams announcing the sad
event were dispatched to President Arthur,
at Newport; Assistant-Treasurer Coon,
Frank S perry, his private secretary; Hon.
Thomas C. Acton, Assistant-Treasurer at
New York, nnd Judge Andrews, Syracuse,
Geneva, N. 1., Sept 10. The funeial
of the lute Secretary Folucr took place hero
yesterday in the presence of a vast crowd
who had gathered to pay the last tribute of
respect to the distinguished dead. Presi
dent Arthur, Governor Cleveland and a
large number of Government officials were
present Rev. Anson J. k'pson delivered
ice sermon, and commented at length upon
Hie late Secretary's public services. Dur
ing the discourse President Arthur was
visibly affected. The interment took place
in Glenwood Cemetery.

Cleveland, ., Sent, s A gtett con
filtration is raging on tlie llats. The entire
lire department is in service and telegrams
have been sent to Akron, Voungstown,
Paincsville, Erie, Sandusky and Toledo for
assistance. Tlie origin of the fire Is un
known. Incendiarism is suspected by
some, but tlio most probable theory is that
sparks from a tug set lire early in the
evening to a pile of shavings from
which the flames spre.nl until Perry &
Co.'s extensive lumber yard was In
a blaze. The tire continued to extend,
defying all elTorts of the firemen.
About ten acres of lumber and
frame buildings were atlamo at one time,
nnd huge clouds of smoke, thickly studded
with bla.ir.s cinders were blown by the
changing wind for miles, causing Intense
excitement lest tho myriads of sparks
should kindle fires in every ditectiuu and
perhaps lay waste u large put of tho city.
Tlie owners of tlie Variety iron works
had been on the roof of their large brick
building for half an hour throwing water
and guarding it, in the hope that tho lire
might le kept within bounds. They suc
ceeded in putting out the flames in several
places which had caught from sparks. Un
til tlio region of their building became red
hot they were successful in their object,
but at eight o clock the lumber in tho yard
of C. G. King caught from tlio east end of
tlie wood in Perry & Co.'s yard, ami
soon tlie 4,000,000 feet in that yard (
were in a partial blaze. Tlie boat along
that side oi Central way soon be- J
came too intense for comfort, and desplbj
tho brisk west wind which had sprung up
the flames crept up in tlie southerly direo j
tion, and very quickly readied the street
The Variety iron works now caught on tho
roof, but these flames wore subdued after a
short fight At tho same time the wooden '
building, a good-sized shed, belonging to
Woods, Perry A Co., west of this, had also
caught on tho front si, la from the heat of ;
the burning lumber just opposite, and at
tention was directed to that Tho fire
men were called back to tho iron works
building, and at nine o'clock both these
buildings were burning, and tin? lire was
under such headvray that tho engines which
could be kept in the street were unable to
cope with it. Much cause of delay was
found in the water. It was dirty and the
engines would get clogged, lu this manner
one of the engines w hich had been throw
ing a stream on the southwest side of tho
yard near the railroad was forced to sus
pend w ork for a time for repairs.
At niitit o'clock the shops and buildings
from Scranton avenue to Woods, Perry ,c
Co.'s planing mill on Carter street were on
lire, and it looked as though nothing could
savo them. One tiny spark, fauned in a
minute into leaping llames, undid years of
tod. The fire started in tiio midst of lum
ber and on all sides there
was plenty of the same dry fuel.
Tlie llames shot a hundred feet
into the air, and myriads of sparks hovered
and floated amid the glare and smoke. The
awful glare penetrated to tho furthermost
parts ot the city, nnd the community turned
out almost en masse to witness the specta
cle. They collected on the house tops
choked all the thorough fares leading to tin
flats and covered the brows of the hills.
The large s iTo in Woods, Perry oi Co.'s
office was rolled out by the combined
strength of twenty men and taken up the
sidewalk to the bridge. Tlie office of tlw
Cleveland Boa-d ol Lumber Dealers,
between Woods, Perry A Co. and Potter A
Birdsall, was likewise cleaned out, nnd by
tlie time the flames reached these throa
oilices there was nothing of valuo in them
to burn. 1 ho structures themselves wero
reduced to ashes in an incredibly short
space of time.
The urea burned over covers afxmt sixty
acres.
