NO INSURANCE ON HIS LIFE
The statement that Gen. Logan had an insur-
ance OF s2OOOO on his life is denied by member
OF the Illinois delegation The facts OF the matter
are that Gen. Logan had an insurance OF s. 600 in
the Penn Mutual association, upon which he had
paid s., 600. Several months ago, however he
allowed the policy TO run out.
JOHN A. LOGAN, JR.
There has been confusion in the minds Of some
as to the number Of Gen. Logan's children, grow
ing out OF the mention OF bis son by different
names 1t appears that the son was chrfstened
tered West Point as a cadet. Then, in compi-
ance with the wish OF both his parents he as
sumed the name OF John A. Logan, Jr. Since that
time he has adhered to the latter name though
by old friends and acquaintance he is sometimes
addressed by his former name.
SECRETARY LAMAR SAYS GEN. LOGAN'S DEATH Is A
PUBLIC CALAMITY.
In an interview in Macon, Ca, yesterday, Secre-
tary Lamar said that he regarded the death OF
Gen. Logan as a public calamity. s1ntellec-
tually," said the Secretary, ''Senator Logan was
underestimated by his opponents not fully appre-
ciated by his near friends, and hardly over esti-
mated by his warmest partiSanS and admirers.
Though not an epfgremmatic man, he possessed
Intellectual intrepidity, supreme faith in the
never crushed in debate. The death OF such man
is a loss to the government and to the people"
A CHICAGO VIEW OF THE sENAToRsHIP QUESTION.
The next Illinois legislature will convene Janu-
ary s. 1887. The republicans have majority OF
three In the house. thirteen in the senate and six
teen on joint ballot. II the organization takes
place January 5, the day the legislature meets or
at any time before January IL. the day for the
first for United States Senator will be- by law
Tuesday, January 1S. A telegram from Chicago
says: ssTne candidates who are now mentioned
by the people are Charles B. Farwell, Logan's
great political rival; E. B. Washburn, Green B.
Raum, Clark E. Carr, Judge PaySOn, John g. Can
non, Jehu Daker, General Henderson, Governor
Oglesby, Ex-Governor Shuman Ex-Governor Ham
iton, 'Long" Jones, Robert T. Lincoln and General
John j. Rinaker. The uneXpfred term is four
years. The name Of Governor Oglesby naturally
suggests ITSELF because he is the chief executive
OF the state, and it is believed he would willingly
renQush the governorship to return to The seat
in the Senate which he occupied until General
Logan was elected to succeed him In 1879"
Proposed Pension for Mrs. Logan.
WHAT AN OLD FRIEND OF THE DEAD SENATOR SAYS
OF HIS ESTATE.
Among members Of the House who visited the
Capitol yesterday and to-day the suggestion was
passed around that a liberal pension should be
granted to the widow OF Gen. Logan, and it met
with hearty approval on every hand. Democrats
manifested as much eagerneSS as republicans to
join in providing for the widow. The hearty man.
ner In which the suggestion has been taken hold
OF renders 1t quite certain that among the first
acts OF Congress upon reassembling Will be to pass
a pension bill for Mrs. Logan. 1t is agreed that
there would be eminent propriety In granting
liberal pension based upon Gen. LOganS military
services. Some members are OF the opinion that
the pension should be $1,000 per year. This is the
sum granted to widows of Presidents, and though
Gen. Logan did not occupy an Office SO exalted as
that, he was the recognized head representative OF
the volunteer soldiery. It is hardly probable that
expressions OF congressman upon that subject may
be taken as a criterion.
1t is evident that Senator Logan died a poor
man. An old friend OF his in speaking to a STAR
reporter with regard to Mrs. Logan'S financial
condition said: 81 don't believe the Chicago house
would sell for $4,000. 1 am sure it would not

Mrs. Logan is lett in Strengthened circumstances.
There is no doubt about that"
With regard TO the pension, as there is no civil
pension list the proposition for the relief OF Mrs.
Logan considers only the military services OF her
husband. 1t is claimed that no violence will be
done to the letter or the spirit OF the law in grant
ing her pension, as Gen: Logan was sufferer up
to his death from the effects of his army eXpe-
rience. In fact, IL is asserted that the rheuma-
tism, which was the primary cause OF his death,

A REPORT THAT HE AND MISS ANDREWS WE'RE TO BE
MARRIED IN THE SPRING.
A Pittsburg special to the New York Tribune,
Dec. 9th, says: 1t is authoritatively reported
that had not the death of General Logan occurred
Miss Edith Andrews, daughter OF millionaire C. H.
Andrews, OF Youngstown, Ohio, and John A-Logan,
jr., would have been married early In the spring.
Rumor has it that the german which Miss Andrews
gave at Youngstown two weeks ago tonight, and
which she and Mr.. Logan led, was her last appear
ance in society until after the wedding. Mr.. Logan
has been paying his addresses to Miss Andrews for
more than a year and half. The attachment
grew out OF the intimacy OF their fathers. The
Senator made MI. Andrews home his headquarters
during the campaign OF 1884, and IN the latter's
private car they made tour Of the entire state OF
ohio. Miss Andrews left Youngstown one week
ago to-day for New York, 1t is said, to order her
wedding outfit. Her father started for Washing
ton this morning.
