REV. DR.. BURCHARD.
THE NOTED DIVINE'S EYES
CLOSED IN DEATH.
Prominently Brought Before the
Public During the Campaign
of 1854.
Special to the REcoRp-UN1oN.

SARATOGA, Sept. 25.-Dr. Burchard,
who was taken i'll Saturday evening,
died at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Tuesday
the illness developed into peritonitis.
He was born in Steuben, n. Y, in 1912.
He received an academic education, and
when Is removed to Kentucky. In 1886
he graduated at Centre College, Danville,
KY, and soon after won wide reputa-
ton in the State, lecturing on temperance,
slavery and religious questions. During
the cholera epidemic of 1887 he was a
volunteer nurse. He was licensed to
preach in 1888, went to New York in 1889,
and took charge of the Presbyterian
Church there.
He was a man of fine physical develop
heart and sympathy foIfhe afflicted. He
was a winning speaker. He was made
Chancellor of the Ingram University,
filling the Office in connection with his
church duties. When he resigned the
pastorship in 1879 the congregation is
said to have made him present of $15, 900,
and to have mortgaged the church for
the purpose. He gave up pastoral work
entirely in 1855.
Burchard came prominently before the
public in 1884, when several hundred
ministers gave a reception at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to Blaine, then the Re-
publican candidate for President. Bur-
chard was there and had been chosen to
address Blaine in behalf of the clergy
men. Blaine stood on the staircase above
the corridor floor in full view of
the clergymen and others who had gath
cred to greet him. Ascending the stair
case to the second step below Blaine,
Burchard spoke. AS he neared the close
of his address, with an affectionate re-
gard and esteem for Mr.. Blaine, he used
practically these words, 'And we admire
and welcome you, Mr.. Blaine, as the
steadfast opponent of rum, Romanism
and rebellion
Years later, DIR. Burchard, while speak
ing of the incident with an Associated
Press representative who stood near him
the day it occurred, said: "Well, 1 don't
know but l may have been the humble
instrument in the hands of divine power
to effect exactly the contrary of what I
had in my heart to do when I spoke that
day.

PANAMA, Sept. 25.-The Stcr and Her.
dtd publishes the following account OF
the difficulty at Belize, British Hondu-
ras between the Administration and the
Legislature: After protracted struggle
between the Government and the popu-
lar element of the Legislature, not unlike
that between Balmaceda and the Chilean
Congress, the Representative vacated
their seats in body. The Governor, in
no way disconnected, promptly appointed
IN their place certain officials whom he
designated as unofficial members. in
asmuch as they did not occupy their seats
exot1icio. There was at that time (Feb-
ruary lst) no one to gainsay him. and
from February to July the colony was
practically run ON the Balmacedan form
of government.
An action was laid in July against the
Collector of Customs to recover the alleged
illegally exacted duties, on the ground
that the colony possessed no constitu-
tlonal Legislature, either at the present
time or when the new tariff was voted.
The Government went into court and
defended itself. Chief Justice Anderson
was IN quandary for precedence, but
finally gave Judgment for plaintiffs,
thereby overruling the Legislature and
annuIllng all the laws passed since Feb
ruary. The Government has appealed ito
