GENERAL LOGAN'S ELECTION.
How Representative Barger Was Brought to
Vote-Mrs. Logan Happy Over tie Result.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
There have been many incidents in connection
with the senatorial contest, but none exceeded
in interest the getting of Representative Barger
here in time for the joint convention o-day.
Barger lives in Pope county. down on the Ono.
river, at point remote from railroads and teis-
graph. AT o'clock last evening dispatch was
received from Barger at a place called Stony
Fort on the Cairo & Vincennes railway. The
dispatch said he would reach Springfield to-
night. IL the Republicans waited for him to
rive in the regular way their chances of electing
Logan would be gone At once the wires
were put in operation, and dozen dispatches
were sent to Barger, at various points on the
Cairo 81 Vincennes. 1t was found that he would
probably have to wait at place called Norris
City for the Ohio g. Mississippi train this morn
ing Mr.. Tracy, of that road was called IN, and
expressed the opinion that Barger could be
reached and brought to Springfield this morning.
superintendent Stanton was communicated wltn,
and tho matter placed in his hands Telegraph
and telephone were at once set to work. "A spe-
cial was made up, and Barger was heard from at
Norris City. At midnight he was on the special
en- route to Flora. That point was reached this
morning, and connection made with the regular
Springfield train, so that Barger was here In
good season.
Washington Special to Chicago News.
Mrs. Logan is the happiest woman in Wash
ington to night II have been expecting this
result for several days" said she, sbut of course
it is great relief to be out of suspense. NY
only regret is that am not out in Springfield
so could take every Republican member of the
Legislature by the hand and thank him for his
kindness to my husband Yes, you may say
am not only the happiest woman in Washington,
but the happiest woman in the world"
Mrs. Logan's handsome house on Iowa circle
is crowded with her friends She is immensely
popular in social circles here and every lady of
her acquaintance, it would seem, has called to
congratulate her upon the Generals victory.
Between the intervals of shaking hands and
telling how the battle was won she
reads and answers kilograms which have been
pouring in upon her from every section Of the
country. A pleasing feature of these congratu-
latory dispatches is the great number that are
sent by the Generals Democratic friends in both
houses of Congress.
Among the callers tonight was Representa-
tive Hit, of Illinois. 'This is Logan day." he
said, as he greeted Mrs. Logan warmly.
YES" she replied, sand all the more enjoy
able for the weary months that preceded IT,"
Mr. Blaine was among the first to tender his
congratulations. To friend of the General he
said: II am glad Logan was elected. There has
never been any doubt ia my mind that if he had
remained at home and looked after his legisla-
tive districts instead Of sacrificing everything
for the presidential ticket he would not have
had this long fight to succeed himself. Yes /
am sincerely glad he pulled through at last"

The General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America
meets to-day in Cincinnati. The annual
meeting of this great church is looked forward
to with interest, not only by Presbyterians,
but by other denominations. The past eccle-
siastical year has been one of such peace and
prosperity that the chief business of this
assembly, will be to review the years work
as that work viii be presented by the various
boards Of the church. There will be no trials
for heresy, nor is there likely to be any debate
over doctrinal differences. While the Presby-
terian Church is perhaps the most conserva-
tive of all the evangelical churches, it is also
a striking fact that her stalwart orthodoxy is
no barrier to her steady progress. Among
her ministry and membership are to be
found men and women of the highest
culture and Of the broadcast iberality
Her schools, and colleges, and theological
seminaries are well manned, while her many
benevolent enterprises, and especially her zeal
in the cause Of Christian missions, furnish a
crushing answer to the whole 'liberap school
Of critics. Owing to the hard times, there is
likely to be reported considerable falling off
this year in the receipts for home and foreign
missions. Still, more than a million dollars
have been given to these Objects and if there
be any deficit it will soon be made up. One
question, touching the church's attitude to-
wards the freedmen, and another touching the
validity Of Roman Catholic baptism, may oc-
casion some debate, but it is likely that both
questions, if introduced, will be amicably set
tied. The assembly will be in session about
two weeks

The venerable B. w. Hanna, Of Terre Haute,

Cox, Persia and Turkey will be apt to be kept
in condition of agonizing suspense. But the
solemn truth is that the country takes very
little interest in the matter, so long as these
draw. Mr. Cox has succeeded in working up
very thin, artificial boom for himself among his
New York constituents; some folks may be
fooled by it, but the great mass of people under
stand it all, and to them the performance is
simply disgusting. Mr.. Cox and Mr. Hanna
are not the only men among our 60, 0,0O0, 600 of
fellow citizens who are competent to represent
our interests in Turkey and Persia.

ETC., so him that he undoubtedly had GER

Phillips was the typical Greenbacker, and it was
always added that he was rich, too Now that
they figure up his estate it comes to about $6 900,
of which 81, 900 is in real estate. His personal
property had shrunk to $4 900 through his crazy
investment of tens of thousands in all sorts Of
wildcat concerns And it is worthy of note in
the case Of one who held that paper was worth
as much as metal that nearly all of his worthless
stuff is the stock of mining companies He
