TIE announcement of the sudden
death Of Gen. John A. Logan was
received with profound sorrow, and
came without warning to the ma
jorlty Of the people, as his ailment had
been so Slight as to scarcely arrest
public attention. Gen. Logan held
a place second to none in the hearts
of his late comrades in arms, among
whom his loss is most keenly felt.
AS statesman he was the most pos
tive character this country has ever
produced; as a citizen he was al
ways honorable and patriotic; as a
soldier brave and noble. Upon his
affectionate and devoted wife the be-
reavement must fall with a heavy
hand, for their lives were so closely
allied as to be almost inseparablc.
In his public as well as private life
she was indeed a helpmcet, sharing
equally 10 all his joys and sorrows.
The funeral will be held in the
Senate chamber, at Washington, on
Friday, and the remains brought to
Chicago for intermcnt. In accord
ancc with the expressed wishes OF
Mrs. Logan burial site in South
Park has been selected. Full par,
ticulars of the closing scencesof his
illustrious career may be fou.d on

SHREVE SHUTS THEM OUT
PELTZ' MEN FAIL TO FIND THE
KENTUCKIAN'S CURVES.

The MacOns Play Nine InniDGs without
Run-OaIy -Four Men Reach First
Base-The Home Team has HARD
Fight with ChsmberlRin's Puzz ing
Delivery-A Sharply Played Game.
Not over 500 people went OFT to the ball
grounds yesterday. The weather was
threatening, and many who started to 20
turned back, thinking there would be no
game. A slight rain fell, but not enough
to spoil the ground.
The game was called with the home
team at the bat. Shreve and Arundel
covered the points. The Macons presented
Chamberlain in the box, with Daniels as
backstOp. 1t was batLe OF
pitchers all the way through.
Shreve and Chamberlain showed their
mettle from The start. Both pitched very
effectively. Shreve struck out six men
and yielded four hits, while Chamberlain
struck out four men and yielded five hits.
Both pitchers were well supported.
'rug" Arundel received the young Ken
tuckian's delivery without an error, and
was credited with ten put outs and two
assists. Daniels put out four men and
made three assists. The home teams
neldlng was superb. A mum
by Collins of ball thrown from
centre field was the only error made.
Neither side scored until the eighth in
ming. The visitors had four men on
bases, but none of them got past second.
In the eighth inning Miller led of with
long hit to right field. He stole second
and advanced to third on a sacrifice hit
by ShreYe, and scored on a wild throw to
third from right field by Harter,
In the ninth inning Collins led of with
safe hit over the short stops head TO
left field. He stole second, went TO third
on sacrifice hit by Moriarity and scored
on hit by Strict, making an earned run.
The visitors, one after another, went
down before Shreve' skleceptive curves or
sent the ball into the home tielders' hands.
Only four men reached first base. Shreve
had perfect control OF the ball and pitched
a perfect game. Chamberlain, though
his curves were hardly less effective than
Shreye's, was inclined to be wild and
gave four men bases on balls. He is An
effective bOxman and hard man TO face.
One of the prettiest plays in the game was
Morlarlty's running catch OF ny by
Stearns in the sixth inning. With two
men out Stearns stepped to the bat and
raised the ball over towards the
home run corner for what everybody
thought was a two base hit. Moriarity
gagged it and ran back, but it was way
out OF his field. Stearns had passed frs
base before the ball was near the ground,
but the hit didn't count. M0riarity was
within reaching defiance and as the bal |
dropped he held 1t. 1t was phenomenal
catch and one of the greatest ever made
on the grounds. The crowd cheered and
yelled and gave the LUCKY fielder a reg
ular ovation.
The visitors played fine game, but were
less fortunate in their helding and were
credited with three errors. PeltZ made a
two-base hit in the seventh inning, but
failed to get further. The ball went AL
most TO the centre field fence. HOtaling
had time to field it but misjudged the dis
lance and the hit counted. The following
is the score:

THE ASPHALT PAVEMENT.
Broughton Street Property Owners
Dissatisfied With the Bills.


Dissatisfied With the Bills.
There is some dissatisfaction among
property owners on Broughton street
about the bills rendered by the city for
the paving of the street. SONS
of the property owners claim
that the city has charged them
upon the basis of a lot frontage, whereas
it should be a real estate frontage. The
total frontage of real estate on BrOughtOn
street paved with asphalt is 4, 49, feet.
The total frontage of the lots is admitted
to be 4,005 feet. The difference Is 49, feet.
The State law reads as follows:
The Mayor and Aldermen shall
have full power and authority to adopt, by Or
dlnanC9, such q system Of equaliHlng the assess-
ments on real estate for the above purposes,
IA may be j@st and 0-oDer. estimating the totai
cost of cach improvem ent made, and ~ Grating

ing t. the frontage on the street or portion Of
streeb improved.
A petition will be presented to the City
Council tonight asking that the bills be
corrected. The petitioners claim that
when they signed the paving petition it
was publicly asserted and well under
stood by the signers, by the Council and
by the public at large that the entire
frontage of the street would be charged
with the cost of the improvements.
The statements which the city gave out,
the petitioners claim, also charge the
continuation and extension OF the side
walks at the intersection of the street
frOntages to the entire bill OF cost-976
square yards-amOunting to S2.293 80.
The petitioners ask the Council to
charge to the public expense the 1872 feet
of street Improvement as a part of the
street, and also the $40 square yards OF
sidewalk extension.
