Vivid Account of His Last Moments and Sketch of His Career. 4= AX “4 / john Alexander logan. G..«r 0 i John A. Logan, Senator ot the United Stat e from Illinois died at his house in Washington at 2:55 o’clock ou the after noon of the 20th of Deeembsr His death was quiet nn 1 painless. There wore with him at the ond Mrs. Logan, his two chil¬ dren, Mrs. Tucker, Manning Logan, Major Tucker, his sou in-law; General 1’. H. Sheri¬ dan, General Green B. Itaum, of Illinois; Judge Symmes, of Colorado, and several of his immediate friends and servants. General Ijogan’s death came as a great shock because there hail been no warning of immediate danger. It was known that (General Logan was Billering from au unusually severe atta k of rheuma¬ tism, aud that this atta k had run into rheu¬ matic fever, but every one thought ho would pull through. Ho had had similar attacks nearly overy year for the last ten years, and in 1870 he■ came very near visited lying Hev'eral years ago ho the Hot Spriug* of Arkansas and re ceived great rolief. If hi kans&s thl escaiied wouid tHI utta k which proved fatal. He if it had undoubtedly not been have recovered this time for tho bruin complication. Tho fever reached his brain toward the last and produced congestion. The family had uearly as little warning as the public. They knew that he was very ill but he had b>en through so many similar attacks that they could not realize tnat his iron constitution would not pull him through. The deathbed sceno was painful nnd dra mafic. General Logan has always lived the centre of a group of admiring friends. Hj rarely he knew a moment of privacy. When dietl his room was crowded with others than the members of his family. General Phil. Sheridan stood at th « foot of the bed with his hands clasped behind, looking stern ly and sorrowfully upon tho face of his old comrade. Backof him was Gen. Bale, Grant's intimate friend. Mrs. Logan knelt at her husbands side, her face drawn and white, and as near as j jssible to tho color of fa or snowy hair. By her sido were her two l»oyofapuro children, Manning, a splendid, swarthy Tucker, his sister, Spanish appearan e, and Mrs. a slim .lark-eyed brunette, tearless and pale, who watched alternately her mother and her dying lather. Major Tucker, her husband, stood at the General's head rca iy to run to his assistant*. About the room were other groups from the callers b ? l< w . who lia l tiptoed up to the roo ra, which Avas Generali part ally darkened. It was feared that tho death would be choking painful. His heavy breathing aud occasional made every one fear a death from suffocation. At ten minutes of three, amid the sound of weeping, tho deep sonorous voice of Dr. Newnutu was heard in prayer. He prayed with an elopieuce that moved everyone in the sight of the death which was so slowly stealing down upon the sufferer. The Do tor prayed thst the brave s >irit might cross, in safety Ho besought to the world humbly where Avelt pain is unknown. a ome for this brave soul now to start on its last journey, while he besought tho Great Ruler of All to sustain Avith his great strength the stricken ones left behind. As the deep voice of the pastor resounded through the grt-at room General Logan died. Buddon y his painful breathing came quicker the colored and in great pants. Then James, servant, wished to lift him up, Ashe lilted him up there was a choking rat tle in tho throat, a strong effort to clear it from the accumulation of mucus, but the ef fort was a failure* There was a stoppage of the breath, tho es half opened, their pupils enlarged General to the full size of the ball, and then the fell ba k lifeless. Dr. Newman said solemnly: “Ho is gone.” Mrs. Logun became wild with grief. She fell upon the b d with her arm about her husband’s body crying, sobbing, wailing, calling out: “Oh. darling! Oh, darling!” Her abandonment to grief was even more sorrowful thau tho sight of the General’s death. Mrs. Logan remained in this pros trate condition so long that it was felt oeces sory to call her to herself. With great dlf Acuity she was torn away from the bed. Oe? oral liOKtM’i) Career.

Among the most Important measures be¬ fore Congress this session Is the Inter-State Commerce bill, which provides for the super¬ vision of railroads and freight rates in the various States. The bill has been before Congress several years, but its promotors have been unable heretofore to secure its passage. This session the Conference Com¬ mittees of both Houses agreed upon a reporl in its favor, and on the last day before the holiday recess it came up in the Senate, but after a speech in its favor had been made by Senator Wilson the bill went o\-er until af¬ ter that the he holidays. would then Senator ask the Cullom Senate announcing to take it reached. up daily, and Washington keep it up until a vote was A special said of the bill While it is evident that the views of many representatives have changed since the Rea¬ gan last Inter-State session, it bill does passed the House at the that tho of not the seem Conference probable report Committee will be rejected. A few extreme members complain that the House conferees yielded too much and, threaten to vote ayainst the report, but it is not likely that Western many of them will do so. Home of the members who were among the most earnest supporters of the bilk now say that they are in doubt as to whether the measure will not" injure rather than benefit the farmers and stoijc growers of the West, but that the sentiment in their district* is so strong in favor of action by Congress that they will be constrained to vote for the conference report. The truth is that w’hen th» bill passed the House not one man in three understood its provisions or care 1 to. One thing which gives many considerable of the sup¬ porters of the conference report uneasiness is the suggestion that the “long haul and shore ba il’’ provision, if enforced, will be likely to divert the transcontinental Iraflc, as well as a large part of the grain and meat traffic, from the United States to ( anada. But there seems to he no reason to expect that any or all of the consideration* involved will receive weight enough to de¬ feat the conference report. In conference the Heuate to-day Mr. Cullora bill, called up the report on the and Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, thereupon addressed the Senate in favor of the adoption of the report He referred to an in¬ terview published which in President the New King, York of Tribune, in the Erie, recommended live boards of com¬ missioners to examine all the questions in¬ volved. That, demanded he said, action. simply meant Nothing, a delay. said The Mr. public Wilson, had been done more to demor¬ alize railroad managers, officers and agents than pools. Under the present system losses on through business were unloaded on the business of the iutermediate or local points. This practice was, in itself, an outrage. As the oill came from the House it authorized, by implication, railroad companies to charge as much for a short as for a long haul. But not so under the conference report; because it provided that nothing in the bill should he construed as authorizing a railroad company to charge and receive as great compensation for a short as for a long distance. The people recognized the healthful aid which railroads had given to the development aud progress of the country; Put they insisted on the enactment of a law v. hich would aid them in the recovery of some that the of their railroad lost rights. companies They should were prosper wii ing and should be reasonably paid for their ser¬ vices; but they did not recognize them as their masters. A* an illustration of the injustice of the present system, he stated that on the 16th of t hin montii corn was selling in Western Iowa, where it had bushel, been in a Chicago good crop, 30 at from 20 to 25 cents a at cent* a bushel, and in Southeastern Iowa, where the crop bad been a failure, at 40 to 42 cents a bushel: so that Western Iowa corn was being sold in than Chicago in Eastern at from Iowa. 4 to 6 • euts a bushel less m A NOTH Ell BOND CALL. fh# Secretary of th* Treasury I'allt for Tea Million* of Three Per Cent*.

It matures February 1st. The bonds called can be redeemed upon presentation at option of the holder. THE GROWING SOUTH. j THE DEVELOPMENTS MADE DUR ING THIS TEAR. Nearly 9130,000,000 Invested in New En¬ terprises During the Year—Alabama Again Leads. In its annual review of the industrial progress of the South, the Baltimore Man¬ ufacturers Record says that 1886 has been the most remarkable year in many re¬ spects in the history of the Southern States aud more has been accomplished the for the prosperity and progress of whole south thau ever before in any year. This is shown in the enormous in vestments of capital in industrial enter¬ prises and in the growth of confidence among Northern ana European investors in the stability of the South’*-iron and other manufacturing interests. The amount of capital, including the capital stock of incorporated companies, and mining repre rented by new manufacturing chartered enterprises organized or at the South during 1886,including the enlurge ment of old plants and the rebuilding of mills, aggregate $129,229,000, against 010 812,000 non in 1885, iack divided among omniur the States as follows: States. 1886. 1885.

Other interests as well as iron, however, are being rapidly developed. Included in the list of new enterprises organized in the South during 1886 were 28 iron furnaces, 50 ice factories, 68 foundries and machine shops, many of them of large size; 1 Bessemer steel rail mill, 26 miscellaneous iron Avorks, including iron pipe Avorks, bridge and bolt Avorks, etc.; 8 stove foundries, 24 gas works, 34 elec¬ tric light companies, 11 agricultural and im¬ plement factories, 174 mining quar¬ rying enterprises, 16 carriage and wagon factories, 9 cotton mills, 28 furniture factories, 42 water works, 58 tobacco factories, 92 flour mills, 448 lumber mills, not counting small portable saw mills, including suav and planing mills, sash and door factories, stove, handle,shingle, hub and spoke, shuttle block factories, etc., in addition to which there Avas a number of miscellaneous enterprises. One cf the most gratifying features of the South’s industrial progress is the wise diversity of new industries that are de¬ veloping all through that section. TAKEN FROM THE GUARD.
