Geneva, N. Y„ September 9.—The
weather was oppressively warm and the
crowd o! vi 1 o: B suffered much discom
fort. The body of Judge Folger wns os
tentatiously laid out at his home, and only
those with whom he had officially associ
ated and aj few of his more intimate
friends among the townsmen were afford-
ed an opportunity to view it. Every store,
piece of business and residence from the
railroad depot to the cemetery, a distance
of two miles, is appropriately dressed in
mourning. At one o'clock the last train
had arrived and the crowd surged
toward tho Folger residence.
The villages and farming country about
seemed to have tamed oat their popula
tion <n mane to pay the last tribute of re
spect to the illustrious deceased. At least
40,000 people thronged the principal streets
of Geneva. At 2 o'clock the general pro
cession began to form. The body of Judge
Folgsr lay in the northeast room of tils
late residence on Main street, in a massive
casket covered with plain blackvelvct with
silver mountings. It bore the following
simple inscription: "Charles James
Folger: Born April 16, 1818, died
September 4, 1884." The President

snry Coon. Tbe services took place in the
First Presbyterian Chnrch, tbe interior of
which was heavily draped in black. In the
chnrch President Arthur occupied a seat
well in front. In exact juxtaposition and
seated next to him was Governor Cleve
land. Tbe body was borne into the chnrch
by colored bearers, preceded by the pall
bearers, all of Geneva and life-long friends
of the deceased. The pnlpit was occupied
by the temporary pastor, Rev. Mr, Mooney,
and Rev. Ilr. Potter, president of Harvard
College, Rev. Dr. Hogarth, Rev. Dr.
Strong, Rev. T.M.Hanso and Rev. Donald
Grant, all clergymen oi the village. The
son and daughters of Secretary Folger
were not present at these obsequies, but
later followed tho remains from the house
to the cemetery. Rev. Dr. Upson, of Au
burn, preached the fnneral discourse, with
out text. In a brief sketch of his life, tbe
clergyman stated that Mr. Folger num
bered Benjamin Franklin among his an
cestors.
Mrs. Garrett Smith, of Albany, sang at
the close "Rook oi Ages,” and Rev. Dr. E.
N. Potter cave tbe apostolic benediction,
after which the solemn procession to the
cemetery formed in the following order

the hearse; the family; President Arth-
thur and cabinet; Grovernor Cleveland and
suite; judges of the Court of Appeals;
Senators and members of Congress and
department officials; members of the bar:
other societies and citizens. Tbe street
was literally blocked with vehicles and
both sidewalks densely packed with pedes
trians from the church to tbe grave, |wblie
many thousands had already congregated
in the cemetery. The grave was enclosed
by the military and societies in tbe form ol
a hollow square. The service was con
ducted by Rev. Dr. Potter according to the
ritual of the Episcopal Church. Mar * *
the multitude lingered in the grounds,
visitors from abroad quickly departed after
bidding a last adieu to that which was
mortal ot tbe illustrious dead.

[SPECIAL CORECSPOSDE.VC*.]
Atlanta, September 9.—Tbe Georgia
commissioners to tbe New Orleans Exposi
tion, comprising both district and county
commissioners, summoned to the capital
under call of the Governor, assembled in
the Senate chamber at 11 o’clock tkia
morning. Major Cooper, commissioner for
the Fir*t Congressional district, called the
meeting to order and moved the election of
Dr. Janes as chairman, and X. P. Pratt, Jr.,
secretary. This motion prevailed and the
meeting was fairly organized. Upon the
suggestion of Judge Henderson, commis
sioner of agriculture, the justness opened
byatall upon commissioners present, in
the order of ‘
tin* truth.
Hon. John B. Davidson, commissioner
for the Tenth Congressional district, ad.
dressed tho body, reviewing tbe oigauiza-
tion in hia district and the prospect
success. He warmly indorsed
that has been done by State
Commissioner Bacon, and in the matter
of raising the $5,009 desired, felt confident
of raising the quota of $500 in hia district.
Such was hia own interest in tho State ex
hibit, that following a suggestion made,
he would gladly be one of fiftv to contrib
ute $100 each. Maj. Bacon here stated
that they hoped to get along till tho Legis
lature met with $5,000. but that the sum
named above would be insufficient.
Dr. Janes, in bcbslf of the Eighth Con
cessional district, aald very little had been
lone.
Hon. M. V. Calvin, of the Ninth, made a
similar report.
A letter was read from District Coramis
siouer Peacock, of the Seventh, expressing
the hope that good wonld result from the
meeting. He expressed the opinion that
if the district commissioners bad canvass
ed their districts and addressed the people
of each county, probability of success
would have been greater.
A letter was read from Hon. R. J. Pow
ell, of Barnesville, stating that he hoped to
be present at the meeting. He thought
there was little probability of raising
money in his district, as the people were
short of money and their interest largely
absorbed in local politics. He suggested
that the best method of raising money
would be to appoint a competent man in
each county to canvass for subscription.
4 Ia44a. maa waa.I fMsm \(. P A Vlsl.i
A letter was read from Mr. IL A. Nlsbet,
of Macon, to the effect that his engage
ments were such as to prevent him giving
the movement much attention, and farm
duties would prevent his presence to-day.
From tbe Fifth a letter was read from J,
E. Nunnally, of Monroe, who reported
gloomy outlook in “old Walton.”
Mr. J. E. Peeks, of Griffin, commissioner
for Spalding, made a report that so far
little had been done.
From the Fourth, Hon. P.
N. Martin, of Coweta, stated that
Hon. Henry It Harris was commissioner
for the district, but was absent, and prob
ably owing to pressing engagements una
ble to be present. Himself and Mr. Rus
sell. of Carro'l, were the only county com
missioners present from the district, and
bad no report to make.
From the Third district. Commissioner
Major John Cobb submitted a report, mak
ing a very clear and Interesting review of
the work and prospect of raising the money.
His own district would, he had do doubt,
come forward with $500, if that amount
should be called for. in other matters bis
report was similar to that from other die
tricts.
I rom the Second, a gloomy and discour
aging letter was read from Hon. W. A,

First district, made a very encour
A PINE EXAMPLE.
A crowd at tho recorder’s court tbis
morning witnessed the trial of James Bol
linger on the charge of keeping a disor

who has been running a dis
reputable dive on Forsyth street,
almost under the eaves of the capital. The
place was palled Saturday night and this
morning Bollinger was lined $75 and costs
and his license revoked.
This is a radical move in the right direc
tion. and the recorder is to be commended
for such prompt and thorough action in

MEMORIAL SERMON.
Trinity Cnurcb was packed last night
on the occasion of the Bishop Pierce me
morial services. Dr. Atticns G. Haygoad
delivered a profoundly interesting dis

beloved Bishop. It was masterly and

IMPORT A XT RAILROAD CHANGES.
It is reported to-day that B. W. Wren,
for so many years the well known passen
ger agent of tho Western and Atlantic rail
road, has severed his connection with that
road, and will take a similar position with
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad. It Is understood that he sent in
his resignation some days ago and that
the management of the road made every
efl'ort to retain him. His resignation was
accepted to-day. and it is likely Mr. Joseph
M. Brown trill be appointed to tbe vacan
cy, whose training and experience will
doubtless make him efficient in that office.
It is not stated when Mr. Wrenn will as
sume his office on the East Tennessee,Vir-
'nia and Georgia road. Mr. Pope, who
as heretofore filled the position of general
passenger agent of the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia, lias been transferred to
the Shenandoah Valley. Mr. Wrenn has
long been identified with the Western and
sitiantic, and it would appear that his
trans’er to a rival road is not an insignifi
cant change.
Colonel Foracre is still improving, not
withstanding his reported death is travel
ing steadily through the State papers.
t is probable that one of the defeated
candidates for the Legislature at the re
cent primary election iir tbis county con
templates instituting an official inquiry
into the causes of his defeat, which are not
clear to bis mind. However, tbe election
was co lair and the resnlt so clear there is
not likely to be any contest over it.

NBW CAPITOL NOTES.
5ft. Harrison, acting secretary of the
commission, is in receipt of a very encour
aging letter from Messrs. Edbrooke & Burn
ham, the architects, now in Chicago. They
write that the bidding at the Chicago
office is very brisk on all classes of the
work, and if the bids pat in compare with
the applications now being made, the prot-
pect will be excellent. They answer letters
and applications every day. They express
the hope that there will be local bids.
Georgia bids on the plastering, painting,
ood-work and plnmbing. It will be a very
strange etate of affairs and very discredit
able to tbe State if there should be no bids
for this work. There are certainly a plenty
of men who are able to make these con
tracts, and competent to do the work. Let
them bid for it.

one time, erected by a company of North
ern capital sts.and its timbers, though now
a half century old, are still sound and
intact on the bank of tbe Little Ocmnlgee
Tbis location wu called Old Lumber City,
and still is, and from this fact the other
probably derives Its name. In sll this
section, running south and east to the
cout, Macon has built up and sliU main
tains a heavy trade, and so, of coarse,
must (eel interested in and identified with
its growth and prosperity. And it is grow
ing. A country of small farms and Inde
pendent farmers. The so'! is wonderfully
productive, friable and easily tilled: hu a
natural drainage and brings forth corn,
cotton, cane and upland rice. Besides
tbis, the general healthfulness of this re
gion will compare favorably with any other
portion oi tho State. With all these nat
ural advantages, what there is to prevent
an influx of population and steady growth
I cannot see. Truly, it would seem that
the once despised wiregrass section might
yet become the "garden spot" of Georgia.
Agricultural crops are reported u plenti
ful and above the average, but tne lnmber-
ing and naval stores interests are in a vtry
depressed condition, owing to the heavy
overproduction in these staples daring the
luttwoor
the li
aging report from his district, and
that his people were taking the liveliest in
terest in the matter. He then introduced
Judge Harden, oi Savannah, one oi tbe
strongest and most enthusiastic friends
oi tbe movement in that district. Judge
Harden's remark* were listened to with
profound attention They were eloquent
and forcible, they revived spirit io the few
present, and instilled new life Into the
lagging movement. He deplored the pol
icy of tha State in such matters in tbe
past, her negleet or indlfferend to each
grand opportunities, and her attitude
at the present.
He then gave a brief sketch of the work
done in Savannah, which has been more
active and productive of remits thin else
where In the State.
A very important matterdwelt upon by
Judge Harden, as explaining to some ex
tent the lively interest manifested by 8s-
vanish, in making an exbibitst New Or
leans, is that New Orleans Is making
a mighty effort to draw cotton
away from8avannah. and is leaving noth
ing undone in that direction.
In hia discussion of the question of
money. Judge Harden made a strong argu
ment that the Legislature under tbe const!'
tutionbadthe power to make this appro
priation notwithstanding tba contrary
opinion, given by the Attorney-General.
He referied to and discussed the various
sections of the constitution of the State
:tion in these staples during
three rears. The Enirlixh
the largest foreign takers of our naval
stores, wbi e in London recently, tbe
writer was told tbey bad on hand there a
sufficiency of rosin to. last them, at tha
present rate of consumption, two years,
and that for the put twelve months they
had ueeu buying simply because it was so
cheap. And yet the poorly informed and
short-sighted producers continue to make
large crops, looking for better prices, which
cannot come until production is lessened.
In tbe face ot this it seems a pity that the
upping of our magnificent pine forests
•honld continue. In the production of
rosin and turpentine Georgia now takes
precedence, having forged ahead ot
the Old North State, and Savannah
Is now tbe largt-t naval stores
port of the world. Political matters here
abouts arc quiet. The returns from the
primary election in Montgomery countv
are not all in but indications point to the
nomination of Allen McArthur for the
Senate and Chu. Hamilton for the House.

Following Judge Harden, Commissioner
Dunn, of Glynn, made an excellent report
for Brunswick. Mr. Dunn admitted being
an Imported Yankee from New York, but
hail been here thirteen years, his home
and property are bsre, many of Ills dead
are buried here, and wu proud of Georgia,
lie hoped she would make an exhibit at
New Orleans worthy other great name,
end in justice to iboee who had come
here and would come here to the Empire
State.
Major Adams commissioner from tbe
Sixth bad no report to make, and did not
believe his district would do anything.
Mr. Storey, of Greene, made a good .
port from bis county and believes it would
make a fine exhibit ot field crops, but
would be able to raise but little

Out of tbe targe number of commission
ers, district and county, in the State there
were only a score present at the meeting.
It wonld seem a proper course forcommis-
sionert who take no interest in the move
ment, or whose duties prevent giving it
attention, to resign in favor ol those who
K ht aid and encourage the cause,
early every Southern State hss made
liberal appropriations tor exhibits at the
New Orleans exposition. Georgia gives
nothing.

solemnly and srfeely a few minutes, wink
