LOGAN'S DEATH, Emphatic Denials of a Statement as to & Mistake of the Doctor. ‘THE GENERAL TOOK NO ACONITE OR MORPHINE, IN ANY FORM, DURING HIS ILLNESS. A Washington special to the New York Herald to-day states that General Logan’s friends impute the cause of his unexpected death to some mistake of the doctors, and makes the blunt statement that he was killed by the administration of aconite or morphia, or both, Medical Purveyor Baxter ‘Was General Logan's medical attendant from the Deginning of his illness, Subsequently Surgeon General Hamilton and Dr. Lincoln were called in consultation, Dr. Baxter had not seen the Herald dispatch when a Srar reporter called upon him. After reading it carefully he sald: “This is totally ‘untrue. General Logan did not take any aconite Or any morphing, in any form, during the entire p of his disease, from the beginning tilt his death. I prescribed aconite for him once, but he did not touch it. He was averse to taking either aconite or morphine.” An intimate friend of Gen. Logan’s family said to-day that he knew that the story was without foundation, and that the family and friends were entirely satisfiea with the medi treatment. He had seen two members of the famliy this porate and they were greatly shocked that such. a publi: eation should have been made, and indignantly denied that there was the slightest suspicion or even dissatisfaction at the treatment at the hands of the medical attendants. ‘The reporter’s in- formant said that Mrs. Logan had not left the side of her husband for five minutes at a time during the critical stage of his illness, and she knew everything that Was going on, Had there been any suspicion of any maltreatment, the public would have known it before now. The story probably arose from the known aversion of the Senator to opiates in any form, One night, after an invigor- ating alcoholic bath, he obtained some refreshiny sleep, The next morning he remarked, “I thinl they must have given me something last night, I slept so well.” ‘The speaker was in a position to know, however, that neither on that occasion nor er any other had any opiate been administered to m, ——_—_+e+___ Secretary Lamar’s Marriage.

Since his arrival here the Secretary has avoided publicity as much as possible. He has been on the streetsa few times only, and has declined all invitations except those from his most intimate friends. His amaze- ment and displeasure may be imagined, thei fore, when he was informed yesterday that a brass band had decided to honor him with a sere- nade. He called in several friends, it is rumored, and held a council of war to devise means of es: caping the band’s threatened attack, The Hon. James H. Blount, the Representative In Congress for the sixth distriet, wa8 in the council. It was decided that the secretary should go out to Vine- ville, one of Macon’s aristocratic suburbs, and spend the night with his friend, Mr. E. Me- Laren. Mr. Blount to meet the band. At 9 o'clock last night the band halted in front of the residence of Col. W. H. Ross, whose guest the secretary is, and split the air with its noisy music. After playing ‘until every member ‘was out of wind, calls were made for the Secre- tary, interspersed with hurrahs and cries of “3 sh! speech!” Mr. Blount came to the door addressed the band. He said he knew the Secre- tary would have been charmed With the music, but unfortunately he was not in thecity. The band was disappointed. The night was cold, and there was not Much fun in blowing and tooting an hour or more, and to be informed at the end of that time that the object of the attack was not in the city. ‘To-day everybody ts laughing at the band. A member of Mrs. Hols family has informed your correspondent that hundreds of letters have been received by her from newspapers requesting her photograph. It seems the papers want to or- nament their columns with pictures of Mrs. Holt. She has refused to grant the requests, and has asked the photographers under no eircumstances to give one of her pictures to anybody without her ‘written order. It is rumored here to-day that the Secretary has teiegraphed hfs son and daughter, requesting thelr resence in Macon at once. it is also rumored that the marriage will be golemnized very quietly at. ‘Mrs. Hoit’s residence, the ceremony to be per- formed by the pastor of the Mulberry Street Metho- dist Church. ‘The Secretary and his wife will start for Washington immediately after the marriage, going via the Atlantic coast line.
