MAJ. E. A. BURKE.
An Hx-Treasurer of Louisiana Who Is Ac-
cused Of FRAUD.

An Ex-Treasurer of Leuis;ana Who Is Ac-
cused Of Rraud.
For tas hast ten years the most prominent
name in Louisiana has been that OF Mai. e.
A Burks. Hs first became well known
throughout the United States as the director
general on the great New Orleans exposition,
and there can be no question that he was
moro Instrumental than any other man in
carrying forward this tremendous enterprise
Such an affair az the exposition was re-
quired a man of phenomena energy at its
head, and Maj. Burke endeared himself moro
than ever to the people Of New Orleans by
tho way lie put through the great enterprise.
Finally he broke down both in health and
purse, and was obliged to seek rest. For ten
years he was state treasurer of Louisiana,
and now 10 has been accused of fraud in con-
nection with tho state funds Two parties
have rissn up, enc in his defense, the other
against him This controversy has again
brought the name Of Maj. Burke before the
people.
Whether no Is guilty or not is not to the
purpose CT this article. This man has had
remarkable career, although it is sbScured in
many places by doubt, and all will be inter-
ested In learning how he succeeded ia the
space Of ten years in becoming the foremost
man in Louisiana, not only politically but
also in popularity. Let us first consider his
career before he went to New Orleans. This
part of his life is involved in some obscurity.
Conflicting tales have been told about him.
But from the most authentic sources the fol-
lowing facts have been CLEANED:
Maj. Burke's father was an Irishman, and
his mama was O'Burke The son, however,
afterwards changed his name from Ned
O'Burke to Edward Austin Burke. When
