LAST DAYS IN CONGRESS.
His Interest in the HighwoOd Military
Site Resolution.

His Interest in the Highwood Military
Site Resolution,
Gen. Logan was In his seat upon
the opening OF this session of the Senate.
He did not sit through the entire reading
of the Presidents message. The only legis.
lation in which he took any part this win
ter was in trying to fix day for the con-
sheraton of the Highwood military site
resolution and in the presentation OF a
petition of the Swift Chicago beef house
on Harlem River, praying for the i'm
provement OF that stream. The
resolution had been made special order
for the first day of the session. That day,
Tuesday, December Z, Gen. Logan obtained
the recognition of the president pro tenn
pore to ask that the consideration of the
resolution be postponed until the following
Monday. When it came up that day Sena-
tor Cullom announced that Gen.
Logan had informed him by note
that he was unable to be out. The resolu-
ton was several times postponed for this
reason, until Gen. Logan became solicitous
that it's chances of passage would be
endangered by any further delay. He then
sent an urgent note to Senator Cullom ask
ing him to put it on it's passage, All op.
position was withdrawn and the resolution
passed, much to the Generals delight. He
was very much interested in the project
and his regret was that he had been unable
to personally superlntend its passage. Gen.
Logan was in his committee room for a
short time the Thursday afternoon after
Congress opened, having presented
the petition which has been refer
red to in the Senate. This was his
last appearance in that body. His
hand was paining him and he had wrapped
it up in a hand erchief During the time
he was at his desk he talked with num-
Der of callers. He did not think that the
rheumatism would give him any serious
trouble and laid out considerable work for
the session. In this he was assisted by
Beach, Taylor and Hall. his committee
clerks. This last day in his committee
room was cheerfully spent. When his hand
panied him more severely the General only
worked away the harder. He never COM

THE FUNERAL.
Arrangements for the Final Rites Being
Made This Afternoon.
glorious o.

Arrangements for the Final Rites Being
Made This Afternoon.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral. Mrs. Logan has, however,
expressed wish to see the members of the
Illinois delegation who are in the city this
afternoon and meeting has been called
for 3 O'Clock, at which Mrs. Logan's wishes
will be learned and arrangements for the
funeral decided upon.
1t is learned in advance of the meeting OF
the Illinois delegation that it is probable
that the funeral will be postponed until
after the re-assembling of Congress; it
being the prevailing impression of all the
friends that the Generals long and
prominent service in the Senate
makes it especially fitting that his
obsequies should take place in the capitol.
Hitherto the duties of receiving visitors
and answering numberless inquiries have
been performed by volunteers among the
friends OF the family. Arrangements have
now been made to accept the tender by the
secretary of the navy of guard of marines,
who will render such services as are appro-
pirate and may be required of them.
The tender OF the secretary was contained
in the following note:
NAVY DEPARTMENT., WASHINGTON, D. c.,
Dec. 27, 1886.-My Dear Madame: The
high position which Senator Logan occu-
pied in the army and his distin-
guished services in the late war
and his interest in both the land and
naval service exhibited in SO many ways
and on So many occasions, has given him
O. place in the hearts of those attached to
the naval service second perhaps to none
in the country.
therefore beg to assure you of the pro-
found regret with which his death is re.
ceived by the whole naval service, and to
ask that it may be allowed to bear such
share in the testimonials of respect and
honor which may attend his burial as shall
seem to you appropriate.
The bearer of this note, Commodore W. 8.
Schley, is requested to confer with such per.
sons as may have the arrangements in
charge.
Assuring you OF my great personal regret
and sympathy, [ am, most truly yours
WILLIAM G. WHITNEY,
Secretary of the Navy.
To Mrs. Senator Logan.
One who saw the remains of Gen. Logan
this morning-the embalmers having COM
pleted their work and the body being ready
for the casket-describes it's appearance as
life-like and but little wasted.
Mrs. Logan's condition is gradually
mending, some portion OF last night ha ring
been passed in deep sleep, the first which
she has taken for some days.

How TO Stop Wars.
from the Osceola Sentinel. /

From the Osceola Sentinel
An eminent writer suggests that ns.-
tions should agree not to use cannons
heavier than of certain caliber in
war. We are of the opinion this is a
wrong idea. Give the widest scope
possible and the utmost encourage
ment to the men or nation who viii
produce the most effective death deal
ing machine. That IS til way TO has en-
the time when there Is 20 war When
IL comes to pass that aman sitting az
little key, such as blew up He'll Gate +,
near New York, can hurl a bolt of
lightning that will demolish an army
of 100000 men, then war will cease.
Nations will then respect the rights CT
other nations, and differences will be
adjusted by arbitration or treaty.
He is the greatest humanitarian and
philanthropist who can psrfect the
most powerful and effectual death
dealing instrument. He will hasten
the day when nation shall not make
war against nation, and man shall
know war no more.

tain. All day yesterday Mrs. Logan was
in an almost hysterical condition, alling
on the General for recognition. He did
rouse little. He recognized her and
other members of the family. His
mind was evidently clear enough
to know that he Was on his deathbad.
Several times he asked for Miss Edith An
drews, the betrothed of his son Manning,
of whom he was very fond. They told him
she had been telegraphed for and would
soon arrive. ST am afraid / shan't see
her," he murmured. These were the last
words he spoke distinctly. True enough,
he did not see her. Miss Andrews did not
arrive until last evening.
Late on Saturday afternoon those about
the Generals bedside again sought to gain
recognition. They spoke to him in turn,
and as they did so he stretched forth and
pressed their hands gently, but was unable
to convey any articulate sound. About 2
o'clock Sunday morning Manning Logan
thought his father gave a faint sign
OF recognition to Mrs. Logan and then
relapsed. After that hour it is certain
he recognized no one. Besides the
doctor and the family, Gen. Edward F.
Beale and Representative Symes, OF Colo
RADIO, were at his bedside through the
night and they could find no signs that
the General knew what was going on about
him. Sunday morning at 9 O'Clock the
consultation was held by Drs. Baxter,
Hamilton and Lincoln. 1t was then that
they decided that there was no hope of his

He Hung on For Life.
fFrom the Lynchburg News.I


Night before last, wheL the eastern
bound passenger train on the Norfolk
and Western Railroad reached Cen
trail. two of the United States postal
clerks, B. w. Bobcock and George Ell.
Southall, left the car to get something
to eat, leaving q third man in the car.
Presently, however, the solitary clerk,
likewise afflicted with hunger. left the
car, locking the door after him, so
that when postal clerk Southall re-
turned he found The door fastened.
Reaching up he unlocked the door, as
he thought, and just then the train
moved off with q jerk. Mr.. Southall
grasped the appliance used to catch
the mail of the small post Offices
where the train makes no stop, and
drew himself up into the car door, but
when he attempted to enter the car he
found the door secured. The train by
this time was dashing along at light
ming speed, and Scuthall. finding that
nothing remained for MIN to do but to
hold on to the mail-catcher, until the
train reached New River, the next sta
ton, or otherwise to Jump off and run
the risk of losing his life, accepted the
former situation as preferable, and
frightened his grip on the iron rod.
The night was as cold as a March
blizzard could make it, and the wind
played fantastic tricks with Southall's
locks and whistled through his gar
ments after an uncommonly annoying
fsshion.
-ss.5ne mental stress and the fear of
being hurled with tremendous violence
10 the earth were bad enough, but in
addition to have TO grasp and to hold
on TO cold iron rod, with fingers cut
and hands benumbed, is an experience
that no man need want to test.
Southall was equal to the occasion,
however, and he embraced the iron
rod with great tenacity until the train
reached New River, when he quietly
dismounted and modestly related his
thrilling adventure to the traipmen.
His fellow-clerk, Mr.. Bobcock, had
ridden from Central to New River on
he rear platform OF the postal car.

nothing to show that it was likely to be

arms swelled greatly, the pains spread to the

General was an intense sufferer. Regot lit
