ADDITIONAL NEWS.

JOHN A. LOGAN died at 2:57 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. Dec. 26, at his WASH
ington residence. His death, which came
with startling suddenness to the family
and friends, had not been unexpected by
physicians for some days. The sinking
tendency to brain complications, which had
been present in greater or less degree, and
constantly increasing in severity during his
entire illness, had prepared them to expect
the worse. The racking pains which he
suffered during the early days Of bis ill.,
ness yielded TO treatment, but left him in a
weak and exhausted condition, from which
he never rallied and upon which the fever
preyed with increasing violence until the
hour of his death. Gen. Logan's illness
dated back nearly two weeks, when he
commenced to suffer from acute rheuma-
tism, which went chiefly 10 his right wrist.
Under treatment for four or five days the
symptoms nearly disappeared, when the
General took cold, which resulted in re-
lapse, the rheumatic affection extending TO
his hips, lower extremities and both arms.
The attack has been attended at times by
high fever and nervous prostration, in which
the brain was considerably involved, re-
sulting in delirium more or less active.
At this hour Of writing the funeral arrange
ments have not been fully decided upon.
The Generals long and prominent service
in the Senate makes it especially fitting
that his obsequies should take place in the
capitol, and as Congress is adjourned for
the Holiday recess the funeral services
will probably be postponed till after the
re- assembling on January4. A temporary
interment will probably be made in a
Washington cemetery, the Generals final
resting place to be. determined upon later.
Various cities have rendered burial places.
Among others, Springfield, ILL.,, proffers q
lot in the cemetery where Lincoln is in
tered, and the Chicago friends Of the Gen.
eral have sent forward an urgent request
that that city be honored with his remains.
1t is believed that Mrs. Logan prefers Chi
cago as the burial place.
