Improvements at tho Logan House.

The travelling public will be gratified
20 know that the Logan House, located
Just opposite the Delaware avenue depot
of the B. & o. railroad is now in the
hands of a popular, enterprising and
thoroughly competent hotel proprietor.
John d. Kelly, who recently purchased
this splendid establishment is no amateur
in the business, having been before the
Wilmington public during the
past five years. He understands catering
to the wants of his patrons and has
already demonstrated this fact by the
manner in which he proposes to conduct
the Logan House. The beer garden in the
rear which was an appendage of the
former proprietress has been discontinued
and will not be reopened as such. The
class of objectional hangers.on that us
ually infect public resorts especi-
ally around depot have
been given to understand that they
cannot make this lounging place. Ev-
erything is conducted strictly on first
class principles, and the public are as
sured that the best Of accommodations
are to be had at all hours and at reason
able prices The house has been entirely
renovated and bellsted travellers will al.
ways find Mr.. Kelly on hand, as the house
has ample accommodations for transient
guests, having nineteen well furnished
sleeping rooms.
