AGUARD OF MARINES
is to be sent by the Secretary of the Navy
who will report tomorrow mornipg. Mrs
Logan's residence was to-day connected by
wire with the main Washington Office oftht
Western Union Telegraph Company and itf
facilities are freely placed at the disposa,
Of the family. The site of the Logan man
sion is unquestionably the most command
Ing in or near Washington. Standing al
most due north OF the center OF the city. the
structure crowns the top of the highest oi
that circle of bluffs which was expected by
the fathers to limit the growth of the capi.
tai and below it lies spread out in full view
the entire town, bounded in the distance
on either hand by the Potomac and its
chief aff1uent, while the landscape beyond
comprehends wide sweep OF the blue hills
of Virginia and Maryland. The mansion
is OF brick
STURDY, SQUARE sHOULDERED.
wide-spreading structure, queerly typica
in it's appearance OF the character and
physical makeup OF it's now departed
owner. It's architect ure is OF the kind
nov adays described as 'old-fashioned
Southern STYLE" but is one OF the best ex-
amples of it's class. Its interior has been
slightly modernized since it became the
property Of Logan, about two and a halt
years ago,-by broadening the stairways
and interior doorways. but the wide cen.
trail hall through the middle OF the build
ing, into which opens directly the outer
front doors, together with the high, square
parlors on either side, carry ones imagina-
ton almost to the old continental days
and betrays in it's origin the times when re.
fined architectural taste sought expression
in substantial comfort, roominess and
solidity, rather than in Queen Annes cd
dities and flagree.
Gen. Logan, though not lacking in ambi'
ton to become wealthy, and though sue
cessful in a hundred more different under
taking, never acquired the habits OF money
getting and money saving, and his home
when at the capital prior to his purchase
OF this property was made in a boarding
house. When the bare rooms of the new
purchased house was first surveyed by the
General and his wife and friends numerous
queries found expression as to where and
how the furniture in quantity and KIND
befitting the mansion and standing OF lts
new owner was to he procured. "At least,
retorted the General. "we have the rooms
That is the principal thing. We will pu,
into them what we have and see now II
looks before we borrow trouble about what
we have got to get" -,
This property, though still encountered
by mortgage, has increased considerably il
value since General Logan became it's pos
SCISSOR. Together with his Chicago home
stead it constitutes almost the entire Tor
tune left for the support o
the widow, her chief remaining
resource being the expected proceeds OF tn
sale of the generals book. Already tn
project has been privately discussed anon
congressman of providing for her future o! o!
a pension bill based upon the general
military service and none nave oeen near
to question the propriety of this course.
