GEN. LOGAN's RESIDENCE.
The death chamber is at the south
east corner of the second floor of Calu-
met place, the quaint and coZy home
whose comforts have been so often
told. From its windows the days as
pect was bleak, and when the bulletins
had been posted down in the city and
| people began calling to cond0le, the
snow commenced laying its bleaker
mantle over the hillside home. Car
riages came rolling up the heights in
uninterrupted succession. Within an
| hour after the sad news had become
| known, prominent men, with their
wives, were crowding the lower apart
ments of the residence conversing in
| hushed tones of the traits of the dead,
the grief brought upon loving family
and the loss the country had suffered
i'll the latest addition to the remark
able neurology of 1886.
Gen. Logan's system was very sensi-
tive to weather changes of q particular
kind, and he has often been heard to
remark, in half jocular way, that he
| believed he could accurately foretell
| the coming of q SnowstOrm. Inc
seeds of his disorder were sown during
| the war, his first attack of rheumatism
| having followed Immediately the end
Of twenty-four hours march through
a binding snowstorm. His last at
tack, too, resulted from brief expos
ure TO the snowstorm of fortnight
| ago.
There have been no arrangements
| perfected for the funeral. Mrs. Logan
IS so prostrated that she has been
unable to listen to any suggestions as
to the time OF place OF burial. To-
night the idea seems to be that Gen.
Logan should be buried in Washing
ton. Ii Mrs. Logan has in any way
given expression to her wishes she
seems to prefer burial here. 1t is pos
Sible, however, that tomorrow 1t will
appear preferable that Gen. Logan
should be buried at Chicago, or at the
Old homestead in Jackson county, ILL.,.
where the bodies of his father and
mother rest. Nothing definite can be
known until the family have had time
to consult together quietly.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 29.-The
decision that has been reached in re-
gard to Gen. Logan's burial is practi-
cally this: After the funeral next
Friday, the remains are to be inferred
in Washington cemetery, to await

One proposition made at Chicago is to
cede the southern end OF the lake front
for the grave; another is to erect a
monument at the head of Grand boule-
ward and change the name of the

Spanish red cedar. and covered with
broadcloth. While it IS clear that
liberal pension will be granted to Mrs.
Logan, leading men throughout the
country have already subscribed $12,-
600 for her relief. Senator Manderson
will probably have the honor of oc-
cupying the vacant seat in the chamber.
Capt q. E. Lemon has started
