OF UOSOR At 6 30 this evening a ward of honor I was sent by the Secretary of War consisting con-sisting of sergeant and four privates of artillery fully uniformed and equipped reported at Calumet Place A sentinel was placed at the front door another at the door of the chamber in which lie the remains A guard of marines to be sent by the Secretary of the Navy will report tomorrow morning morn-ing Mrs Logans residence was today to-day connected bv wire with the main Washington office of the W stem Union Telegraph Company and its faciities are freely placed at the disposal of the family The site of the Logan Mansion is unquestionably most commanding in or near the city of Washington Standing almost due north of the centre of the city the structure crowns the top of tLe highest of that circle of bluffs which was expected ex-pected by our lathers to be the limit of the growth of the capital and below it lies spread out in full view of the entire town bounded in the distance on either hand bv the Potomac and its chief affluent af-fluent while the lands of the cape beyond be-yond comprehends the wide sweep of the blue bills of Virginia and Maryland Tne mansion itself is of brick a sturdy squareshouldered wide spreading structure queerly typical In its appearance appear-ance of the character and physical makeup make-up of its nowdeparted owner It is a structure of tho kind nowadays described as oldfashioned southern style and it is one of the best examples of its class The interior has been slightly modernized modern-ized since it became the property of General Logan about two and a half years ago by broadening the stairways and interior doorways bat the wide central ball through the middle of the man building into which opens directly the outer front doors together with the high square parlors on either side carry ones imagination almost to old Continental Conti-nental days and betray an origin in the times when refined architectural tastes sought expression in substantial comfort com-fort roominess and solidity more than in Queen Anne oddities and filagree The parr coeherie almost the only outer adornment of the original structure struc-ture has been extended to make ahigh pillared portico along the entire front General Logan though not lacking ambition am-bition to become wealthy and though successful in a hundred more difficult undertaking never acquired the habits of moneygetting and moneysaving and his home when at the capital prior to his purchase of this property was made in a boardinghouse When the bare rooms of the new purchased house were first surveyed by the General and his wife and friends numerous queries found expression as to where and how the furnttnre in quantity and t kind befitting the mansion and standing ot its new owners was to be procured At last retorted the General we bare the rooms that is the principal thing We will put into them what we have and see now it looks before we borrow trouble about what we have to get Correspondence was still in progress at a late hour this evening between Senator Cullom and personal friends of General Logan in Chicago regarding arrangements for burial Tne first tender of A BURIAL PLACE I was received yesterday from authorities I authori-ties at Springfield who tendered a I choice of places in that city one of mtbeing the cemetery In which Lincoln I Lin-coln sis interred Then came tenders I from place + in Southern Illinois the neighborhood of Logand earlier home ana from Chicago the home of his later years During to dar urgent teir mentations of the claims of Chicago have been coming from varios organizations of that city and from influential in-fluential personal friends There is reason to believe that if Chicago makes a definite and seasonable tender of a bunal place in that city it will be accepted |
