before the service* in the Metrcntollum Meth-
odist Episcopal church began this,morning, a
messenger from the house of Oenethl John A.
lopu entered the edifice end announced that
the family requested the preyeraof .the pastor
and congregation for the recovery of tho gen
eral, whose illness bad then reached the crit
ical stage. The Bov. Dr. Newmarf at once dls-
patched a messenger to CUumdtf.piace, and,
before tlio benediction was said, Ibis man re
turned with a message to tits oltbct that Gen
eral Logan was.slowly passing away. Thn

caracal but hlinost silent prayer for the soldier
and statesman who was so soon to close bis
eyes in death.
THE DEATn AKKOURCED.
John A. Logan. died shqvtly before three
O’clock and thereby added another illustrious
name to the necrology of the dying year, which
has beta so replete with the names of the na
tion’s feitniita. : . "
Since the campaign of 1631, General Logan
lias lived a very quiet and even Ufa in iris
newly ocqlrlred-homcon tho hills to tho north
of tho city.; He has entered little open tho So
cial gallics of Washington, hut instead has de
voted bis thne - to litarary pur
suits, and to . the enjoyment of
the old fashioned: honso which hWetpected to
leavo »> homestead to his esUmtblo wife in
the event of his death. He purchased this
place only about two yaen ago, and agreed to
pay t!0,000 for.lt. It is understood that lielias
paid only a few thousand dollars upon it, and
that it is heavily mortgaged to Don Cameron,
Horn whom it was purchased, Logan, unlike
a. majority. 'if bis colleagues la the
upper house,' was dependent, entirely
upon his salary as n senatdr for his
living. Although in public lifo for,'more than
a quarter of a century, it is doubthd if his es
tate today would, realize the amount of his
salary for thrice yean,' when his dj$ts are paid.
As a politician, he ranked high In ran council
of his party, airdin meeting of ibis associates
hero was seldom held n-ithout his presence, add
when a move bf more than ordinary sigulft-
cance wao to bo-raadoi-ho was always among
tho first to hmropsolted.

The news of his death spread raphlly to all
nectlous of tho city, and within an hour after
.... tho voice of tho dread mossenger tho fact was
tho entreat’ subject of gossip and comment.
At first aitory was spread extensively, which
said that the legislature of nilnob, which
' meets in January, was so close
that then was a prospect of
the election of • Wm. B. Morrison
to succeed him, but the Illinois congressmen in
the city very soon dispelled this illusion, and.
at once inquiries as to who will bo the republl-’
can most likely to receive the honor were sot
on foot. Thera are four men mentioned here
In this connection, namely, Congressmen Hen
derson, Payson and Cannon, and Ex-Congress-
man Charles It. Harwell. This, millionaire.

HANGING A WOMAN.
The Question Non Heins Agitated in New
York.
Mrs, Boxanna Druse, whose case Is exciting
so much Interest in New York, is s small, slotplsr
woman, forty years old. Site Is confined In ITerkl-
met counlyjsll. for the murder of her husband. It
was a most brutal crime. Ou the night of Decem
ber 17,1 SSI, the Druse house In Wsrren, Herkimer
county; was occupied by Druse, his Wife, daughter
and ton, end Frank Gates. Druse's nephew. Druse
arose early the next morning, lit Uie Ore and
went to work about tho place. Meanwhile
the other Inmates got up tad breakfast Wat pre
pared. Druse did not com* In, and Iho meal WSS
eaten v llhout waittug for him. When he did tp.
peer he Immediately began to abura his wife alHiut
some trifling family affair, and one of the bitter
quarrels that were of daily occurrence In tho
household ensued. Exasperated beyond measure,
Mrs. Druse, while her husband ate his breakfs*t,
conceived a plan to kill him. Both the
boya and her daaghter were Instructed In
thetr parts, and, bursting Into tbo room
while Druse was still sealed at the
table, Frank Gates fired two shots
at his uncle, while Mtry Druse throw a ropo
around her fether'i neck and dragged him to tho
Door. Taking th* still smoking revolver Hum th*
boy's hand, Ufa Draw emptied the remaining car
tridges into lier husband's body, and then, finding
him still alive and crying piteously for morey, tho
seised an axe and hacked at bis neck until she
severed his head from hla body. Tbe blinds were
qnlehly drawn and tbe boya set to watch that no-
one appnwchsd tho bouse, while the work of dis
posing of the body was performed.
Mrs. Drue, calm and relf possessad, seemed to
bare decided Immediately what to do. 8lio and
her daughter cot up the body and boiled tho flash,
which wu then fed to the hags, while the bones
were thrown Into two Urge store# and burned. As
soon u tbe work wu completed tbe uhoi and
charred bones were pat In a bag and a tin box and
thrown Into a neighboring swamp.
Suspicion wu allayed for a month by announc
ing that Druse had disappeared and by tbo appar*
ently vigorous and earnest eflbrta made by Ibe Dua
lly lo find him. Then rumor* begin to xproad that
all wu not as It should bo In the Druse household.
Whispered suspicions gradually changed to open
accusation*, and then the boy Ostre, who wu
only thirteen yean old, cotifeaod the crime, de
claring that Mrs. Druse had forced him to Die at
his uncle naderthreats that sh* would kill him if
ho did not The whole finally wu arrested and
brought to trial. Mary Druse, tho daughter, who
wu twenty yean old, confessed her share lu the
murder, was sentenced to Imprisonment for life
and is now serving out her life punlsh-
ment. The boys were discharged. Mra

Tuxedo to going to make'a light against Henry
Bergh in the matter of the propoaed introduc
tion of tbo sport of boar hunting. Theuimbts
been to develop Tuxedo, which is a preserve Ot
vciy wild Mountain country lu Now Jorscy,
into a resort at the utmost feablonabioness and
exclusiveness. Pierre Lorlllard, tha million
aire, b the original owner and promoter, and
he ha* leased cottage sites to carefully selected
families, Including the Aatori. It was to this
guarded place that Miss Fortoae'uo, tbe actress
ivas denied admission, although alio had been
Invited to a hall by Congressman Abram S,
Hewitt’s daughters. Tuxedo has boon (locked
largely with foreign. birds and flshoi,
and tbo Idea- was to turn loose
n lot of wild bogs, let them breed
for two or three years, aud thou Introduce the
sport of boar bunting or pig sticking. Hut
llergh baa declared that bo will not snffer It.
Tbe Tuxedo managers have authorised Her
mann Relcho, tho importor of the German
awlno, to contest tbo question In tbo courts on
tbe ground that bog killing fur fan Is no more
cruel than bird shooting or fiah hooking. A
test cats will b* made hr turning the hogs
looae, chasing them, and finally spearing one or
two to death. Bergh'* society will doubtlcm
make an arrest, and then tbe legal battle will
begin,

There are two ways of hunting tho hoar there.

noblemen. Tbe dangerous character of the
boar when ha is roused makes it inadvisable to
allow other than experienced huntort to tackle
him in this method. It consist* in going Into
tho forest with sleuth hounds; tho dogs scent
out tho hoars In tbelr hiding places and when
an animal is found ho la routed out. Tbo boar

fight anything. Tbe hunter to naturally tbo

by a long stick knlfo usually,
though there aro those who shoot tho ani
mals at this juncture. Tho knife to a kind of
sword, tho blade of which to about two feet
long und tbo hsndlo seven or eight Inches.
When the boar rushes at tbe hunter tho latter
faces tho animal squarely, leaning forward ou
hla left foot and bracing himself on hi* right
foot, which la stretched ont for behind. Tbo
knlfo to held with both hauda so that tho
blade protrudes directly ont from the knee
