GENERAL.
or more than 400 years the Swedish
Lake Hjelmar has kept alive a mora or less bitter strife between the farmers living on its shores, the mill-owners at the outlet, and the skippers who carry
on a considerable freight traffic on its waters. The interests of the latter de
mand a mean depth of water at the outlet, which is narrow or d constantly ftliie np, tfcst is rainoas to the farmers, and ho led to revoits more ihan
once. In lfci the farmer., burned the ciiiK and l'J years ao they refused to ps; taxes on their land on account oi j the encoadLments of the lake. Ten 3 ago they deeided to try auothes ; method, and now through a system ol canals and dredging at the outlet the apparently impossible feat of reconciling the warring interests has been asoomplishud, the water has been lowered six feet in the lake, while the industrial interests have been conserved. The fanners who have prosecuted the work with the aid of the state, that loaned 3.000,000 kroner, leas than $1,000,000, for the purpose, have gained 30,000 acres of valuable land. The work is nearly completed, only minor details remaining to be finished next year. In dredging at the outlet,
stones weighing over 20,000 pounds
had to he raised.
Is reference to the land in Arizona which can be made productive by securing a anpplr of water. Gov. Znlick
sbjs: "Arizona contains nearly 114,000
square miles, or about 72,000,000 acres of land. About 36000,000 acres are ' ntilized for stoek-raisinff. and upon it
graze nearly 1,000,000 head of cattle.
more than 1,000,000 sheep, beside
horses, males, and other domestic ani
mals. Nutritive grasses grow every
where, and eonld the remainder of the
land adapted to grazing be utilized for that purpose, it would become the greatest stock-raising country in the
, United States. The want of water is the only drawback to its occupation and development. For the most part these lands lie so that weter reservoirs can be constructed to preserve the water from
the rains of summer and the melting snows of winter for the use of the herds of cattle and other stock. Of- the" re
maining 36,000,000 aeries, whieh. ure mineral and agricultural, two-thirds are arable could they be irrigated. Of these 1,000,000 acres can he reclaimed
by - a judicious appropriation and distribnti of the-present water supply."

Funeral services over tho remains of Gen
eral Logan wore held in the Senate Chamber at Washington, on Friday, Jan 31. Tho body
was then interred in a Washington cemetery, to await a decision as to tho place of final
burial. One proposition made at Chicago is to cede the southern end of the lake frout for the grave; another is to erect a monument at tho bead of Grand boulevard and
change the name of that thoroughfare to Logan. The casket was made at Oneida, N. Y.,
of Spanish red cedar, and covered with broadcloth. Whili) it is clear that a liberal pension will be grant 3:1 to Mrs. Logan, leading men
throughout tho country are sub scribing liber
ally for her leliaf.
HEBE ANDTHEEE. A SFKOXivii from Leavenworth, Knnscs, says: "It was learned that Detective Pinkerton ciuno to this city in response to a summers from Mrs. Witrook, Jim Cnmmings' mother, who informed him (Pinkerton) that she had important information for him. When Piukerton arrived he was handed $22,000 in enrrenoy which Wiirock had sent to his family niter the robbery, sending word by the messenger who brought the money, that he had won it gambling and speculating. He directed his family to keep the money secreted for him, as be had shot a man in Chicago and told theni it wonld be attached for damages and that he was obliged to leave Chicago on account of this shooting. The money had not lieen disturbed and was in tho original wrapers. It is supposed that Witrock, during one of his visits to this city, hid large snms of money stolen and he will now turn it over to the detectives. There bus already been $45,000 of the stolen money recovered. W. A. Pinkertou stated that he hud secured information as lo the whereabouts of all the money stolen
by 'Frisco train robbers. The portion not eaptnied ;n Chicago and Leavenworth was buried in live different states. Each of tha lne.ntions bus been designated by Witrook,
but how the information was obtained from him, or where the placeB are, l'inkerton refuses to disclose. In an interview secured with Hobert Piukerton he stated that oil accomplices in the robbery had been captured five men under arrest and Mrs. Hnight. Being asked if Fotheringham was uuilty he replied: "I am not ready to say. I prepared the evidence for the grand jury and he was indicted. Draw your own conclusion." A cokilaghatiok t Greensburg, "Westmoreland County, Pa., destroyed one of the finest blocks in the city. The fire originated in Scmple's hardware store. Ten buildings were consumod, including the Laird House, Scrapie's hardware store, the old jartM office, Caleb Stark's dwelling and four stores. The guests at the hotel wore all asleep when the lire started, and mrny b.irely escaped in their night clothes Loss estimated at from $50,000 to $60,000. No one injured. The Executive Committee of the Cattle Growers' Association of tho United States has framed a communication to be forwarded to the Senate and House. The communication calls attention to the letter written by J. A. Cooper, of Colorado,
in which be prononnces against tne commission feature of the hill introduced for the suppression of exotic diseases among the cattle of the United States. The com
munication says: "In the great emergency now existing upon the cattle indnstry, it i9 necessary that some person or persons be vested with extraordinary powers. This committee believes that a commission vestod with necessary powers could clear this country of plenro-pneumonia in twelve or eighteen months." The ill feeling between the Socialists and Powderly dates back for several years. On several occasions he has expressed disapproval of their doctrines and methods, and u secret communication which he wrote to a Knight of Labor, of New York, somt. time ago has been civen out for ihe first time. In thisletter he denounces Socialism in plain and vigoroir i n. o. In tho letter ho kivs: "Tt is :nv finn and honest belief

a change in the current of popular impression as to Gen. Logan's illness. It was felt that tbo chances were against his rallying, and that his lifo would fade out The watchers by his side
ik; nifht were Sureeon General Hamilton.
Representative Byrnes, General Boale, and tho fomilv. Thev began their faithful vigils with the "flush of a new hope. At 9 o'clock the natient rallied wonderfully, until the im-
wn,mnt Keeiiied substantial and indict;
tive that the crisis had been passed, and ultimate recovery might bo iuduLed as a hopo not to sanguine. But after midnight he relapsed into the unconscious condition which has marked his malady. The dootors" instructions were to arouse him from his lethurgy at least every fifteen minutes. Ho was thus arcuoAjt nnd irivtn met'icinoaudncurishifleut.
Tlurinir the bouts of his apparent change for
bettr he had regained the use of his limbs and vnaiiv tnrned himself in bed. Ho was not al
lowed' to talk, but did articulate distinctly a few phrases. At abent two o'clock tlio doctor again sought to wake htm into consciousness by merely speaking to him. Finding it impossible, Mr Symes 6poke to him in his usual loud and rather gruff voice. Gen. Logan responded to tho call, opened his eyos, and gavo a look of recognition. Then there flitted over his face
m nvnreasion that was seemingly to be trans
latod that he comprehended that his end was near and that tho dootor sought to inform him of the fact. To this silent self-translation of an idea that had not been conveyed to him. Gen. Logan said : "I havo very little to say ; if tho tm. haa e.rnnn Int. it lie that irav." Tllis was
the last of the clear and certainly the longest of all of the sentences tho dying man spoke. At 3 o'clock the doctor bent over the prostrate form and could detect no lcat:.ng of the heart. Uf,Kiiimt.inn had aimarentlv ceased, tmd the
fanill" hurried toward the bed, bolieving that
death' hod stalked in unawares. But presently
life was again perceptible, but there was no
siiiisnmimt rallv. All through tho morniwc
hours tbo patient lay in unbroken coma, except for one grateful moment of slight consciousness during which tho devoted wife gained a glance of recognition. All the morning it was hopeless, without a rav to dism-1 the sltoui. There was
notliing in the afternoon hours to bring encouragement. At 2 :5i , unconscious and painless, the heroic sufferer died. Just beforo the last spi rk of lifo flickered out the E-rv. J. P. Newman had eon-

BlOtillA l'UICAL. A Career Crowded with Incident. John Alexander Logan, soldior and statesman, was bom in Jackson County, Illinois, Feb. !), 184C. His fat -or, Dr. John Logan, who i-uuio from Ireland to Illinois in 1843, served several terms in tho Stato Legislature. His mother was Elizabeth Jenkins, a Tennessetm. Ho was indebted for his early education to his father and to such schools as were lnaintaimd lor short periods in the new settlements. When the war with Mexico occurred ho volunteered as a private, but was Boon choacu a lieutenant iu tho First Illinois Infantry. Ho did good service as a soldier, and for some time was adjutant of his regiment. Aiterhis roturu from Mexico ho began tho study of law with his uncle. Alexander M. Jenkins. In 1819 be was electod Clerk of Jackson County. In 1-52 ho graduated at tho Louisville University, was admitted to tbo bar, and coionionei d the practice of his profession. His popularity and auocesa led to his election to the Stato Legislature in tho fall of that vear, aud in the year following as prosecuting attorney for tho Third Judicial District a position he hold tiil 18)7. He was elected a member of tho Legislature again in W8, and was re-elected in 18 M and 1W7. He was o Presidential elector iu 1850 on tho Buchanan and Brockinridgo ticket. In IS 8 he was elected a licprescnlativo from Illinois in tbo Thirtv-sixth Congress as a Douglas Democrat, and was re-elected to the Thirtyseventh in 1880. Iu tho Presidential campaign of that year bo earnestly advocated the election of Stephen A. Douglas, but on tlio first intimation of coming trouble w ith the South ho did not hesitate to declare that, in the event of the election of Abraham Lincoln, ho would "shoulder his musket- to have him inaugurated." In July, li-Ol, during the extra session of Congress called by President Lincoln, fired by tho enthusiasm of tlie hour, ho loft his seat, overtook tho troops that wero marching out of Washington to meet the enemy, and fought with distinguished bravery iu tbo ranks of Colonel lUcbardsrai's -regiment at the disastrous battle of Bull Run, being mining tho last to leave tho field, ltetuniing homo the latter part of August, ho resigned his seat in Cungros, behoving he could servo his country better in the field than in tho legislative hulls. Ho organized tho Thirty-first Illinois Infantry, and was appointed Colonel September 1:1. His first encounter with the foe was at Belmont, in November, when be led a successful bayonet ebarge, and had a horse shot under bim.

Wonderful Advancement in Mechanical Pursuits The Change in the Leading Oitiets. (Baltimore dispatch. William D. Kelley of Pennsylvania, who lately made an extensivo trip through the
South, contributes to the Baltimore Manv-
faehtrei s' Record of December 25 a lengthy article reviewing the progress of that section, iu which he presents some striking
facts us to the great industrial aeveiopment now in progress there. Kefemng to his
visit to the South in lbbv, Judge iveiiey says: 'The South was a land of desolation, her farms were fenceless and uncultivated, fttid her pi-ople were wilbout reproductive stock, or that with which to impel modem agricultural implement! had they been bestowed upon them gratuitously. They
were, practically speaking, without seen ror food or crops' except what was bestowed upon them bv personal friends or the Government, through the Freedmau's Bureau and the agencies of the Agricultural Depaitment." Contrasting this with what he saw on his late trip, he says: "Tho progress in wef'tli, in the means of individual comfortrfiid productive power, has been marvelous, nnd the change wrought from Ihm until now iu the immense development of coal aud iron ore of these States, nnd tho increase iu number and extent of industrial centers, mav juBtly be regarded as the work of Titans. "The systems of railroads that
now traverse tho houln are as perfect iu the construction of road-bed, rack, and bridges, and in passenger cars and the means provided for the transportation of freight, ns those of the North. Lateral roads branch from them i-ito such valleys as are known to be pjibe'nliy rich, not in iron aloue. but in otuer minerals, some of which are found in such profusion and juxtaposition as to seem, to defy ideologic laws as elsewhere illustrated. "Prior to tho war," Judge Kelley writes, "the South neither had nor desired to have great cities. It is also true that her statesmen preferred that their workshops should be in foreign lands, and that tho ships that expoited their products and brought them commodities in exchange should be built and owned by foreigners. Iu this respect the contrast is most striking." KashvilU he found to be a beautiful city, which surprised bim by the extent and variety of its manufactures and the magnificence of its buildings. Chattanooga and Birmingham are each a marvel in its own way. in the former he visited the great industrial enterprises that are in operation there, and it was here that his attention
was first attracted to the neat, commodious, and well-paiutad homes of the negro laborers in minintr, smelting, and mechanical pursuits. The mechanical skill of the tailored laborer in some of these enterprising cities surprised him, aud convinced him that with an industrial art school they wonld soon produce gratifying evidence of the adaptation of negro labor to mechanical pursuits requiring a high degree of skill. Hef erring to the proximity of coal, iron ore, and limestone at Birmingham, he says it is not surprising that the oversanguine men of that city really believe that t;hey
head off. She then caused the bead as well as the body to ha taken into the parlor, and during the day and evening the body was. cut up with an ax and was burned in the stove. She threatened to kill the boys if they told what courted. Mrs. Druse had previously mode threats against the deceased, and boasted that she would bo rli of him some day. "These nnd othor facts almost ioo horrible for description mark tho case as a plain one of deliberate and premeditated murder. There seems to be tcnrce'.y a mitigating circumstance. The daughter Mary aided aud assisted her mother in t he murder, and after tho conviction of bermothershe pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree, which plea, on account of her youth, the fact that sho was probably noting under the
influence of her mother, anil other circumstanees, was accepted by the District Attorney, and sho was sentenced to State Prison for life." REV. EDWARD McGLYNN.

A number of things combined to break Logan down Ho lias always been sensitive to criti

What the opposition might say in ths way cf campaign litorutino did not worry bun grenttv, though ho felt even that more than mime would, but attacks made upon him within tho party touched tho quick. b! thirteen Republicans who voted with tho Del'--' -ends against investigating the election of Seuator Piiino, he was singled out for attacks by certain Republican nswopapers conspic uous for their advocacy of soi w other person thia John A. Logan for President in 1S88 Gen. l.of.aa felt that l.e was treated with gross injustice oa this occasion and it rankled in his mind. At the same session of Congress tho last oue he W'fcs most unjustly attacked oo ao ount of his army bill. His bill involved a slight increase of the army, and in open debate iu tho Senate chamber it was broadly insinuated that the General was an enemy of the laboring classes, and wanted tlio army larger; that theio would be mora soldiers to employ in pu ting down strikes, and compelling the wugc-eaniei-s to leceiit such terms as wero offered them. Tbtse iubinuatious, or charges for they wero made with little or no disguise hurt tho General deeply. Then ho was overworked with his b-xiii, aud spent timo in writing and revising aud reading proofs that ho ought to havo spent iu ro-st. This wns followed by w-orrios of another yort. His publishers did not deal very liberally with him, and ho thought thoy had taken some advaut igo of him. He was relying on the s do ot the book to pay for his house, and tho returns came in more slowly than he had hoped for. Then attacks lipon him from certain Republican quarters were renowt d, and this kept bim excited and sore, aud hicroasxl tho feeling that ho was tteiug misused.

The Governor says that it was a clear case of murder, aud that he can find no reason for interference with the penalty except tho sex of tho condemned, which the law does not take iuto account.
