Black Jacks Career.


John Alexander Logan. one of nature $
captains, was born in Jackson County,
ILL.,, Feb. ., 1896. In mighty drama he
played Il commanding role, When he had
hung up his sword he was raised to a Sc
lect group of his nations statesmen, and
there he continued to sustain the respect
that his blameless valor had won him on
the bloody field. Named to sit beside the
head man of his cOuntrymen, he led gal
liant charges in that civil campaign that
shook the eventful summer of 1884, and,
though ulrewarded with victory, he for
feited not the love and admiration of his
followers, who afterward saw with salts
faction their swarthy chieftain continued
in his statesman's chair. With powers
unabated for future high service he was
suddenly called on the 26th of December,
1886, to exchange his toga for his shroud.
These are the influential facts in John
A. Logan's distinguished career:
He was of Irish stock, his father emf
grating from Ireland to Maryland, to
Kentucky, to Missouri, to Illinois.
He was educated mt common school,
and by It tutor and at Shiloh College.
He served in the Mexican war and

He was now developing the gifts that
made him man to be chosen to lead.
Therefore in 1852 and in 1856 he sat in
the Illinois LEGISLATURE He was also
elected prosecuting attorney.

tered i'll a large mansion i'll the outskirts
of the town. 1t belonged to Southern
gentleman to whom that particular gen
eral was much attached. He promised
that when he and his staff retired the
house should not be Occupied further by
the army. When the time came to move
however. there were many sick and
wounded to be left behind The only
available house suitable for hospital was
the old gentlemans mansion. DIR. Roller
called on Logan and related the circum-
stances. Logan at once said: when it
comes to conflict between our friends
and our wounded soldiers, III take the
part of the wounded" and Immediately
ordered the house to be used for hospital
purposes.
As an instance of his unfailing courtesy
to the enemy. and especially to women
and children, Major Mitchell, one of Lo-
gan's I'D staff officers and a Board of
Trade man now in Chicago, relates the
following incident: when the army was
encamrcd at Huntsville a Southern wom-
an, whose husband and sons were in the
Confederate army, applied to Logan for
protection. She lived alone with her two
daughters. and was afraid that the fam
lily might be molested in some way. Lo-
gan ut once stationed guard at her
house and kept it there until the army
moved.
'"There was nothing of the martinez
about Logan" says Major Mitchell. HE

and helped me to start in business. He

Logan never could resist the appeal of
the old soldier. After the bitter campaign
of 1884 an old volunteer, lame and broken
in health, presented himself before the
general one evening. He preferred II re-
quest, compliance with which would have
placed Logan in the position of an appli-
cant for favor from the administration.
Much agitated at the old mans story, the
general at last exclaimed stormily:
Il have never asked political favor
from this administration and l never
will"
The poor volunteer stole out of the room
abashed and disappointed. After half
an hour the storm began to abate in Lo-
gan's mind. He rose and said to Mrs Lo-
gan as he went out:

A Heroic Figure.
The statue, which is the tribute of the
State, cost $4,000. The contract for it
was made with Augustus st. Gaudens
ten years ago and he was told to take his
time and make the statue his masterpiece.
He selected as the scene to be depicted
that moment during the battle OF Atlanta,
when Logan took command of the Army
of the Tennessee. Readers of history
know that this engagement, on the banks
of Peach Tree creek, was one of the
bloodiest OF the war. Brave Gen. Nc
PhersOn was in command when the battle
opened. Within an hour he had fallen.
The Union lines had been split, the flank
had been turned and Hoods eager legions
were rolling up the Army of the Tennes-
see like scroll. Then Il wild figure burst
on the vision of the disheartened men in
blue. BLACK jack Logan dashed along
the lines. Waving Il ragged battle flag
snatched from the hand of Il color bearer,
with head uncovered. his long black hair
streaming in the wind, with eagle-like fea-
lures il,rmined by the fire of resolve, and
driving spurs into his horse, he looked
the very rersOniication of victorious war.
At his word the lines were reformed.
Hood was beaten back. Seven thousand
men fell on either side. but the victory
was with the Union That is the scene
depicted by the sculptor for this monu-
ment-the supreme moment when Logan
headed the Army of the Tennessee and
refining back his horse, gave the order
which saved the battle. The statue is of
heroic size and mounted on Il base rising
"a feet above the level of Michigan ave-

wound that disabled him for .ome time.
March ), 1862, he became brigadier-
general OF volunteers. That summer the
people at home said, Come back, Logan,
and run for Congress-" and Logan re-
piled: Il have entered the field to die. if
need be. for this Government, and never
expect to return to peaceful pursuits I'M
til the object of this war of preservation
has become an established fact.
In Grants northern Mississippi cam
paign Logan commanded the third divis-
ion of the Seventeenth army corps under
Mcpherson. He was made major general
of volunteers Nov. 26, 1862.
He fought at Port Gibson. Raymond,
Jackson and Champion Hills. He COM

a CLOUD BURST
Does Havoc to Life and Property al
Youngs town, Ohio.

Youngstown (Ohio) special: A terrific
cloudburst struck this town, flooding the
entire valley, causing great damage to
property, both in the city and along the
railway lines. Many people are supposed
to be drowned. The entire county east
and west for twenty miles is flooded and
the damage will be enormous, railroads
being the heaviest losers. The Erie Rail-
road west of Warren for fourteen miles,
and north of Sharon for some distance is
entirely flooded out.
Many residences here are flooded out
and occupants were taken away by the
police and fire departments. The Ma.
honing Valley electric lights are flooded
ont, and bridges washed away. The
Catholic Church at Niles was struck by
lightning at the same hour, and nearly
destroyed by fire, while business houses
and manufacturing concerns were flooded
out. Henry Meyers, a tailor, was struck
by lightning and instantly killed. The
excursion trains which left here for Lake
Erie, are all side tracked thirty miles cut.
On every railroad leading into the
city come reports of extensive washouts
and bridges swept away, and railroad
officials say the loss will be the heaviest
they have ever known.
