GRANT MEMORIAL SERVICES.

General Logan's Oration on His Life and Services as Delivered In Washington Last Night.

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 1.—Services in memory of General Grant were held here this evening under the auspice* of the local commandery of the G. A. E, ia the Metropolitan church, at which General Grant was a regular attendant during his presidential terms. The auditorium, which is one of the largest in the city, was crowded. The funeral chimes were rung from eetsn to eight o'clock and were followed by an organ voluntary by Dt\ J. W. Bischoff. A notable feature of the services was the chant-' ing and the singing of war gongs by the St. Cecilia ladies quartette. The meeting was called to order by Department Commander M. M. Brooks and after prayer by Dr. Huntly the present pastor of the church General John A.Logan, the orator of the occasion was Introduced and warmly welcomed with clapping of hands by the audience. His speech was frequently interrupted by tljp plaudits of the audience* which broke oat at the mention of the names of favorite cdlnmanders sad the allusions to the more conspicuous events in the story of General Grant's career.

General Logan's address embodied a 'recital from the standpoint of a personal observer of the military history of General Grant. He began with his own first meeting with Grant at Springfield, 111., where the latter was assisting the governor of his state to organize the volunteers under the first call of President Lincoln. He touched briefly and with little elaboration or comment upon the steps in the upward progress of the subject of bis eulogies, the battles fought and won and the campaigns planned and carried out. He alluded to the "jealousy and bitterness" of Gen. Halleck when Grant's superior in keeping him almost a prisoner at Ft. Henry. To Halleck's dilatory movements against Corinth, to his disregard of advice arid of information that the enemy was escaping and to the fruitless outcome of the •campaign in the efl'ect which however was to restore Grant to the command of bis •old army of the Tennessee. He described the failures of Grant's first movements against Vicksburg, threatening a loss of confidence on the part of the people and resulting in clamors for his removal. .The president's confidence, he said, was however, unshaken and he determined to trust Grant a little longer. "Grant's next plan, the speaker said, •was recognized by the militiary authorities of the country as wholly unmilitary and dangerous. They believed that it was military suicide and against all science ef war. It was a Movement, however, full of audacity and in its results showed the genius of the man who planned it. This was the campaign which resulted in the fall of Vicksburg. Halleck had 'directed Grant to leave Victaburg and move down to Port Hudson and assist Banks. Banks being Grant's superior would tlius have been in command of the combined forces. Halleck suggested that after Port Hudson should fall Vicksburg should be assailed. Halleck's letter came too .late. Five battles had been fought. Grant was already moving on Vicksburg and Pemberton "was driven within the walls and locked up with only sixty days' rations. On the 4th of July, 1863, the long and bloody siege came to its termination, and

Grant at the head of his victorious army entered the city and placed the old flag upou the court house.. It was the lafrgest capture of men and munitions of war ever made in any war up to that time. In the campaign the enemy's wounded and captured numbered more than Grant's satire effective force. Port Hudson was at once surrendered and the backbone of the rebellion was broken. The orator*touched upon the withdrawal of JRosecrans within the lines of Chatta taooga, Where he was cooped up, with Bragg in possession of his communications. Boeecrans was completely encircled, and apparently in a position where he must sooner or later surrender for want of supplies. Grant Was ordered by the president to take command of that department, and his first act was to assign Thomas to the command in place of KosecranSv Chattanooga was subsequently relieved by Gfai't, and the battles and victories of Lookout Mountain and Mission Hedge followed. Having defeated Bragg and driven him from his stronghold Grant now commenced ma-1 turing plans for the great final campaign. His idea was to move from Chattanooga to Atlanta and thence to Mobile unless something should intervene in the meantime to force him in the direction of Savannah from Atlanta. In a letter written that winter Grant said sharp fighting would occur in the spring and if the the Union forces were successful the war would be ended in a year.

Grant was now made lieutenant general and placed in command of the armies of the republic. But one person, Geo. Washington, had ever held the position before (Winfield Scott merely had the brevet). On the 3rd of March, 1864, he was ordered to Washington. His intention at that time was to return from Washington and lead the armies of Sherman, Thomas and Schofield to Atlanta. Unforeseen events, however, changed his intention, and forced him to the east, but his caiupaigu was carried out almost to the letter by the others. Having assumed supreme command on the 17th of March he at once proceeded to establish his headquarters the field, at Culpepper Va. Heretofore the campaigns of the different armies had been conducted without any reference to each other. General Grant purposed now that all his campaigns should proceed wiih one common end in view. lie would combine all his available western forces under Sherman, and those of the east un der Meade, and move the two great armies toward a common center. Sherman was to move against Johnston and to hammer and" pound and follow him until he was destroyed, captured or driven back to Richmond, when both rebel armies were to be crushed between the two great armies of the republic. Meade was to advance upon Lee and strike him whenever he coula be found. The plan was carried out successfully and during its progress the victories were achieved which saved the republic. The speaker described briefly but in glowing terms the events of Grant's career and the honors

*£2V«:

showered upon him by our people at home and by men and nations abroad. "From Belmont to the siege of Vicksburg," said General Logan in his summing up, "I was near him in nearly all his marches, crmpaignq and battles, being permitted bv him to take possession of Vicksburjj-with my command on account jrt"its having approached nearer '.'ae enemy than any other. During my term as commander of that city I was with him almost every day and from the time when at the head ef that glorious old army of the Tennessee of which he was the ilrst commander and its last. 1 marched by his receiving stand at the national capitol and down to the lpst painful days of his memorable life I wis with him very often. During til this while I was a clow 'observer of him. Grant was usually known and reoognized as a qtiiet and silent man, but when engaged in conversation on any subject in which he felt an interest there were few who excelled him as a conversationalist. He wrote tersely and well, and at times most eloquently. The nation was at different times thrilled by his terse epigrammatic sentences. When he wrote to Buckner, the commander at Ft. Donnelson, "No terms other than an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted," "I propose to move immediately upon your woifcs," his words burned with the glow of a patriots fire in the heart of every loyal freeman. When he had fought the battle of the Wilderness and wrote to the president: *'I propose to fight it olit on this line if it takes all summer," he infused Into the people and his troops a part of his own tenacity and faith in final success. In his short speech to the committee who waited upon him informing him of his nomination firat made by the republicans as their candidate for chief magistrate he used the, memorable words in his conclusion: "Let uS have peace." These words fell upoh the people with an electrical eflect. -His coolness, his perception, his aptness in using the right word in the right place and doing the Tight thing at the right time were at the bottom of his success as a civil magisttate, just as his great faculty oi doing the right thing at the right time and place, and sometimes in the most unexpected manner was at the bottom of his military success."

The speaker described the subject of hiseulogy as a man of great strength, of intellect, remarkable common sense, coolness, self-possession and tenacity a true friend to those worthy his friendship and the kindest and best of husbands and fatherB. It had been said that he was not a strategist. In the speaker's belief he was without a rival, eitner as a strategist or commander he was greater as a military commander than Washington, Napoleon, Wellington, Marlborough, the Prince of Orange, Frederick, Charlemagne, Hannibal, Scipio, or Africanus. In the speaker's belief coming centuries would give him a rank equal if not superior to that of Julius Cftisar, and when the mists thrown around his civil administration by partisan enemies should be dispelled they would equal in glory any administration of the past." Duty was with him a living principle. Nothing could swerve him from a course he believed right. He was conscientiouBj just, truthful, courageous and magnanimous. He stood by his friends and forgave his erieiilies. He fought not for glory, but to serve his' country. When criticised and censured, when the clouds of calnmny hung about him, he stood with folded ai-iiis amid the thunders witn«s3ihg the wrath of his enemies but he spoke not in his own defence. •Time finally dispelled the clouds and let in the suBshine of honest judgment. Then his heart was found as pure .as the dewdrop which hung upon the lips of the velvet rose. He believed in the justice of God, and that sooner or later he would by some means guide him as commander of our armies to the line where justice would take the place of wrong, and "man's inhumanity to man" be properly rebuked. "But," continued General Logan, "his race has been run. The great and good man went upon the mountains to die. The attention of the whole civilized world was directed to that spot. His glory was not that of his country alone but the civilized races of man. When the news of his death went tremblilig over the wires to the uttermost parts of th'e earth the people of "every nation and tongue stood with bowed heads. Grant had in life ascended to the topmost heights of mortal fame. The greatest renown was his. The glory of man's greatest achievements shown round and about him. God called him and he stepped from his high pedestal on this earth into presence of the great white throne where he was crowned with immortal gloi" that shineth on forever."

Tke services were concludcd with a benediction and a concert of patriotic airs on the bells.

WILL SLAY THE SAVAGES.

Citizens of tbe Southwest to Relieve the Soldiers in Pursuit of Apaches.

EL PASO, Tex., October 1.—There is a renewed and serious increase in the Indian troubles that affect Southern New Mexico and Arizona. A number of other Apaches have left their reservation and joined the hostiles already on the warpath. The Black Range and the Mongollons, two mountain ranges in Southern New Mexico are thoroughly infested with the raiding bands, and serious apprehension is felt that the Mascalero A fu'

paches, who have hitherto been peaceil, will leave their reservation and go on -path. Governor Trittle, of Ariel Governor Ross, of New Mexico, are at Albuquerque in consultation as to the best means to be adopted in the premises. They will call out all the militia in their respective territories and send them on a general scouting expedition. The United States troops are found to. be utterly useless in Indian warfare. The present outbreak may lead to a descent by the people of the San Carlos reservation and indiscriminate massacre of all Apaches.

TOMBSTONE, A. T., October 1.—A man named Keating was killed by Apaches esterday in White Trail Canon, San iimon Valley. The body was found a half a mile from his house.

Didn't Care to Lose His Skin.

JOLTET, 111., October 1.—Burglar James Young, of Carroll county, who is serving a sentence of ten years at the state prison here, escaped from the harness shop today and climbed to the top of a high derrick in the prison yard. The warden discovered him and ordered him to come down. Young refused. The prison chemical engine was called out, and two convicts ordered to climb the derrick and turn a hose on Your:.. Andy McKee held the nozzle and as !tc was about to turn on the chemical he yelled up to Young that if any of the contents of the chemical engine struck his body it would peel the skin off like oil of vitriol. This was enough. Young gave a yell for mercy, and commenced to scramble down the derrick, much to the amusement of several hundred convicts who were slyly watching the proceedings from the windowB of the workshops.

LONDON, October i.—The Times correspondent at Constantinople thus summ&riSes Turkey's position: "Turkey has no army ready to march, no stores, no money in the treasury, no administrative energy. She mnst submit to the inevitable.

VIENNA, October 1.—M. Brattiano, tbe Roumanian prime minister, who has had interviews with Emperor Francis Joseph and Count K^lmoky, Austrian jdgn minister", respecting the attitude of fioumania in the event of war between Turkey and Bulgaria, has left this city to confer with Prince Bismarck, after which he will visit the czar. His mission is for the purpose of having Koumania considered inviolable and accorded rights similar to those enjoyed by Bulgaria if hostilities should break out. The opinion gains ground that the crisis is extending, and that unless the powers intervene at once war is inevitable. The porte, as a precautionary measure to prevent the reduction of supplies in the event of a war with Bulgaria, has issued an order prohibiting the exportation of cereals-.

MAT.TA, October 1.—A rumor is current here that the British squadron in the Mediterranean has been ordered to Turkey.

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 1.—The embassadors met to-day to consider the Roumelian question at the residence of Count Corte, the Italian embassador, but adjourned .without transacting any business of an important nature, several of the embassadors having received no instructions from their respective governments. The Porte has sent a. circular to the powers protesting against the recent action of Prihce Alexander in disarming the Musselmen inhabitants of Roumelia.

The result of the recent interview between M. DeGiers, the Russian prime minister, and Prince Bismarck will be to restrain Seryla, Greece ahd Mohtonegro from attacking Turkey, 'otherwise Austria would, it is thought, certainly make a bold strike for S&lonica, and possibly for Constantinople, causing ablaze in Russia which weuld end in a European war.

COPENHAGEN, October 1.—M. DeGiers, the Russian foreign minister, has conferred with the czar on the Roumelian difficulty at Freiderksbourg, a village t~enty-one miles frbm this city, the usua! summer residence of the Danish royal family.

ST. PETEKSBUBG, October 1.—The Russian journals express the opinion that the conference of the embassadors at Constantinople on the Roumelian question will be resultless. The czar has called a meeting of the governors of the various provinces to be hrld during the present month in order to confer with them respecting the internal condition of Russia.

PrirLiPFOPOLis, October 1.—Prince Alexander is actively engaged in pushing forward measures for defense. Bulgarian troops from Sofia are taking the places of the volunteers, who have gone to the frontier. All the strategic positions and passes are being rapidly fortified and the military posts are being greatly Btrettgthened.

LONDON, October 1.—The powers have resolved to compensate Servia if the porte accepts the union between ^Bulgaria and Roumelia.

NISSA, October 1.—King Milan held a reception at the royal palace here today. He was hailed by the populace as the ruler of Macedonia.

THE CONSERVATIVE PLAN.

The leader Falls to Make Any Answer to Mr. Gladstone.

LONDON, October 1.—-Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, tbe conservative leader in the house of commons, speaking at Salisbury yesterday, said the government was attempting, in concert with the powers, to circumscribe the area of the existing Roumelian disorders. Referring to the alarming increase of boycotting in Ire land, he said the government was preparing to deal with tne evil with a strong hand. He believed the Irish people would applaud the action of the government in regard to the matter. He denounced Gladstone's manifesto as misleading in its statements concerning occurrences of the past and in its promises for the future. The speaker said that the reports of crime in Ireland were absurdly overdrawn. Crime in Ireland now was nothing compared with that in 1880 and 1881. Boycotting, however, was rife in certain districts, and the government would spare no efforts to put down the practice and prosecute the offenders wherever evidence could be obtained linst them. The government would also introduce some kind of counterdemonstration. against those forms of boycotting, with which no law in the world was able to cope. If these means failed the government would find other means. The law must be upheld.

The Standard complains bitterly of Sir M. Hicks-Beach's lack of programme, and says it is useless to denounce the liberal programme if he has no substitute for it. It fervently hopes that Sir Michael will only be reluctant to forestall Lord Salisbury.

NEVADA'S WEDDING.

The Prii^ti Donna Married in Style to Dr. Raymond Palmer, .of Birmingham, England.

PABIS, October 1.—Mile Emma Nevada was married to day to Dr. Raymond Palmer of Birmingham, England.

There were several letters dropped^ in the postoffiee yesterday morning which bore the immediate delivery stamp, but none was for delivery in this city. Up to last night there had been no letter received by mail fot immediate delivery in this bity. Two messenger bovB, who have talented legs were in waiting. There is a bos at the front door to be used at night and one on the inside, opposite the newBtand, for day use for the reception of the special delivery m%il. A bell is rung each time the aperture is opened. Special to the

Indianapolis Journal.

WASHINGTON, D. C., September 30.— It.is thought at the postoffiee department that some weeks must elapse before the success or failure of the new special delivery system can be determined. The advocates of .tjie system did not expect the ^results which ate already foreshadowed. The idea of the law was to afford an opportunity for rapid communication at greater length than is usual with the telegraph. That is to say, it was belfeved that a person residing or visiting in Washington, for instance, might desire to communicatee length with parties inlndianapblisi Under the old system, a letter mailed in Washington-this evening would reach its destination to-morrow, but would not be delivered until the following dapr. Now it will be delivered within an hour after it reaches Indianapolis,i provided it bears a special stamp. It is found that in all large citiefc where tiommeicial communications are irequent, and where speed is requited, that business men have ordered largely of the new stamps, and it is thought that one result will be the growth of anew branch of the postoffiee department, which will afford profitable employment to hundreds of boys and young men. It is understood that the postmaster general contemplates recommending to congress the extension of the limit of compensation. The latter^ because in many cities, Brooklyn, Chicago and New York for instance, the carrier limits are so wide the boys will frequently be compelled to fay out more for car fare than the eight cents Which they are allowed for carrying each lettefc.

Friends of this postmaster-general say also that he will recommend to congress the desirability of reducing the rate of postage on drop letters to one cent per. ounce, and that if his advice is followed, the letter carrier system will be extended to all cities and villages of 10,000 popular tion. These reforms have been advocated by republicans and defeated by democrats. Time will tell how successful Vilas will be.

CtfiCINNA^I, 0., October i.—tJp to o'clock twenty-five letters had been handled by the Cincinnati postoffiee under the immediate delivery "System. Of these thirteen were mailed in Cincinnati and eleven came from other offices. Most of them were for distant points from the postoffiee one going a dfstance of three miles.

Ati INSPIRING SIGHT.

The Fail of the Great Pennsyivahi* Meteor—The Story of the Man Who Saw It.

CLAYSVIIXE, Pa., October 1.—The aerolite or meteorite stone which caused the loud detonations heard throughout the greater part of Washington and Allegheny counties Saturday last fell upo« the farm of Mr. Bu.cklandiin Jefferson township hedr the West Virginia line, instead,of

Cecil, as reported. Ellis Jones,

a mail carrier, witnessed the fiery mass in its flight through the heavens. He said he never beheld a more awful or impressive scene. His horse suddenly stopped, and he heard a noise as the winds were rushing onward with great violence. Looking up he saw, iiloving high above him with incredible velocity, a huge mass, which he describes as resembling a great coal of fire as large as the largest barn he ever saw. There appeared to be attached to it an immense name of a deeper color than the coal, which tapered off into a dark tail with a sinuous trace. All in a moment, Mr. Jones states, the noise accompanying it ceased the fire-like appearance, the fiatne and the black tail disappeared, and in their stead the stone assumed a whitish-blue hue, which it retained until it passed out of sight. When the stone fell, it broke into three pieces. It is grayish in color, with a tendency to red in streaks, and is more than thirty feet square. The people are flocking to see the wonder in great numbers.

WASHINGTON, t). C., October 1.—The Post, this morning, authoritatively denies the truth of the story that the president favors the election of. the republican gubernatorial ticket in New York state.

JOS £5 OR JAMES.

Offered Hundred Dollars by a Kansas Farmer if He Would Commit a Murder.

INDEPENDENCE, MO., October 1.— Frank James has been reported on the brink of the grate §o long that those who do not know him wonder why he lingers so long. These reports are not correct. The ex-desperado is not dying of consumption. He is not so seriously sick that he cannot appreciate a joke, for he haB just perpetrated one on a Kansas man. For six weeks negotiations have been pending between tsis Kansas farmer ana Frank James of a singular character, conducted on the part of the farmer in a most earnest and serious manner. He had an enemy and wanted him killed. He proposed that James do the job. The matter culminated to day by the farmer coming to this city and meeting with james and several friends of the Tatter. He offered a cool $i0(j if James Would do the work. The offer was accepted in sd far that the pioney was put up. Suggestions were made as td how the work was to be done and the victim located exactly,' his home being near the Black Bob reservation school house in Johnson county, Kansas. This all done, the man, who vowed that he was no crank, was told to take his $100 and get or he would be arrested.
