CADET LoaAN's LOUD" CAREER.
ReSigning From the United states Militia
ry Academy to Avoid Expulsion
Some Fly Capers of the
"Sou of His Daddy"

WEST PolNT, Nov. 1.-THE career of
Cadet John a. Logan, jr., has come to a
sudden end at the Military academy.
He resigned last week to avoid eXpul-
sion, and when last heard of he was at
the Hoffman house, New York. He
was pleasart-looking young man,
about % years q age, but was not at all
bright. On account of his fathers prom
inence he WAS favored by the officers
and upper class men, aud he presumed
on these favors and committed offences
which could not be overlooked.
He first entered the academy
i'll 1883, and got along very
nicely. In January his eyes failed,
and he went away on sick leave, with
permission to 90 back one class. lie re-
turned last September, aud soon after
the run began h was court-martialed
for AN alleged iutraction of the rules. 1t
was charged tpat he said "advance, by
God" instead of "adVance, corporal Of
the guard" The charge could not be
proved against him, and he was acquiI-
ted.
In October he committed what was
called breach OF copfinemeut, and for
this he was sentenced to thirty days
confinement i'll the light prison. He had
been there .hIeo weeks when the
officer in charge found that Logan
had gone out. The officer waited for his
return, and on searching him, found in
his possession bottle OF liquor. The
penalty for bringing intoxicating liquor
into the barracks, is abso ute dismissal.
Charges were made against Logan, and
he was tried by court martial last week.
There was no doubt what the result
would be, and before the sentence was
promulga ed, he resigned and his resig-
nation was accepted.
The attention of General Merritt, tho
superintendent, was called to the article
from the Baltimore sun, which said that
Logan had ueeu forced from the acade-
my. General Merritt said: at is too
ridiculous 10 need denial. 1t is entirely
untrue, and do not think that General
