INSIST IT WAS MURDER.

The two Corvallis papers insist that the
death Of Il II Burnham was by murder and
not suicide. The following very strong
language is used.
BY the Gazette: The idea that a man
will hold pistol two or three feet from
him, and fire shot in such a manner as to
pass horizontally through his body, is alto
gether improbable. II the people Of Albany
are to leave such an apparent cold blooded
murder and robbery as this, pass az ami.
eide, without further investigation, the
town will become yeritable rendezvous
for thugs, thieves and murderers. Better
TO admit that Albany was the scene OF one
CT the most cold blooded murders ever com
mitted in the state, than attempt to shield
her fair name as peaceable, law abiding
community, bv concealing the crime be
hind the verdict of coroners iury.
BY the Times A cry of help after he
had committed a deed IF premeditated
self destruction was foreign to the stern
character of Ed burnham, and thoge who
knew him best are inclined to discredit the
verdict of the Albany jury and the theory
Of suicide. Many here believe that his
appearance in Albany was due to the fact
that while en- route to Corvallis he merely
stopped OF there to visit lis old friend
John Giblin, and that an assassin's Land
changed his plans and ended his career.
The environments about the spot where
the shooting occurred were particularly
friendly 10 a murder. Nc street lights
were near AID the place was dark and
gloomy. The body laid at the mouth oi

feet high with roadway on either side

An Albany, New York dispatch says:
The leading question Of TODAY, Of course,
is, Will David B Hill run for governor? ?
A decisive statement was expected from
him last night, but his few remarks to the
crowd which serenadei him did net set
tie the point. No one is sure from ~hat
he said whether he will accept or decline
the nomination that was thrust upon him
at the last minute. There is also a great
deal of doubt as to the course that will be
taken by Justice Gayoa. the nominee for
Judge Of the court Of appeals. 1t is
thought he will not make final decision
until he knows what Hill viii do. II is
not doubted Congressman lockwood will
obey the wishes of the convention. IL
case either Of the nominees decline to run
another convention will not be necessary.

committee have power to fill any vacancies
on the ticket covers this point.

A correspondent OF the New York World

A correspondent of the New York World
at S, Joseph, Louisisna, says:
Bottom planters of this CTansas) parish
indorse the opinions Of Guy Foster and ex-
Senator Jones on the action of the sugar
planters in boiling the Democratic party
The prevailing opinion in North Loaisi-
ana is that the sugar grower desires the
wheat producer, who receives 10 cents per
bushsl for his product on his farm. and the
coitoa planter who sells bis crop at about
511< cents on bis plantation both eking on,
bare animal existence. shali continue to
contribute to the payment of bounty 10
the sugar planter, already made rien and
powerful By legislation.
As matter of policy. the action Of the
sugar men is thought 10 be fatally impoii-
tic The bill placing sugar on the free list
is now on the Senate calendar. This
threaf Of The Sugar growers will probably
be met by tho passage OF the bill.
Even should the next Congress be Re-
publican Mr. Clevelan would ve;n any act
renewing the bounty. system now un-
popular with both parties.
The only safety Of the sugar people Is
apparently in the revenue theory, their
product being an Ideal revenue article and
the Democratic party being committed to
his theory
From e. political point of view this action
Of the tugsr people is regarded with utter
indifference. Louisiana was safely Demo
cratic without the assistance Of the sugar
section, the cotton planters say. and will
continue so. From 1876 to 1888, twelve
long years, the sugar sections were repre-
senied by negroes.
As late as 1888 II was represented in the
General Assembly 10y twenty-four negroes,
and the return OF the section to Repnbli-
canism means little. The eleven sugar
producing parishes can scarcely hope TO
control the other forty-eigh,
The sugar-section Scotch terrier can
hardly thrash the State collie, let alone the
national mas,Iff.

What is a Mummy?

When member of an Egyptian family
died, all the relatives put on mourning and
abstained from baths, wine and delicacies
of all kinds from 40 to 60 days, according
to the rank of The person deceased. Death
in one respect put an end to all distinct
ions that had prevailed in life, and king
and slave were subject to the same law.
The record of the life of the deceased
had to be examined by tribunal Of AZ
judges before he could be given burial
with his ancestors. II the deeds of his
life proved that he was worthy Of burial.
his body was carried across the sacred lake,
Of which each province had one, and was
there permitted to rest. If the judges
found him unworthy, even though he be-
longed to the highest rank, he could not
be buried with his ancestors. The body
was reiui ned to his relatives and was
buried on the side of The lake opposite to
the burial side of the just.
The belief of the Egyptians in future
state of existence gave rise to the practice
of embalming the dead. They wished
carefully preserve the body, so that tn
soul upon its retcrn to its former abode at
the end of all things might find it ready
ror It's reception. Bodies were embalmed
in three different ways. The most ex-
pensive and magnificent methcd was used
upon the bodies Of kings and other per-
sons of distinguished rank, the cost amount
ing to talent Of silver, or $6l0.
A number of persons were employed in
the process of emSalming, and they were
treated with great respect. They filled
the cavities of the body with myrrh, cin-
namon. spices and many kinds Of sweet
smelling drugs.
After certain time had elapsed the
body was swathed In lawn filets, which
were glued together with kind of thir
gum, and then crusted over with costly
! perfumes. By this mode Of embaimine
the shape of the body, the lineaments d
the face, the eyebrows and eyelashes wers
preserved in their natural perfection
Bodies thus einbalmed are what we nov
call EgyTtian mummies.

The position taken ly The Corvallis pa
pers in reference to the murder of + II
bnrnham is very unreasonable one There
is nothing in il to Albany. to have his
death go ON record rs a suicide. The idea
that the city is trying to shield a murder is
simply ridiculous. The verdict OF the cor
oners jury was impartial and was simply
based on preponderence ct evidence. The
candid opinion Of most Of the people OF Al
aany is that it was q case of suicide, not
withstanding there were suspicious circum-
stances. Lets see. A day or two before
the event Burnham went into hardware
store after some paper hanger shears, when
told they were two dollars. he said that was
more than he had and more than small Job
would come to; be also told the st Charles
people that he was broke: he had the neu.
raigia and rheumatism bad, causing him
great suffering. and acted very despondent.
Nightwatch Lee followed him one night
when he certainly acted in manner to in.
dicate that he was not himself. and that he
contemplated saicide The place where he
died was not an obscure place, was not an
alley ut all as stated; it was partially on q
twelve foot sidewalk in thickly settled To-
cation; he had been seen in the vicinity at
least twice before, and the same evening
awhile before the suicide. When he left
the ,hotel at 1880 o'clock, he undoubtedly
did so for the purpose of committing sui
eide. He had no ether business out; he
went to the place he had selected for it,
near q big and prominent church. He
pulled his revolver from his pocket. turning
his pocket out very naturally. after he had
sat down on the raised ground with his feel
on the sidwalk; he put the revolver to his
heart, good place, though not the GUS
tomary one, and pulled the trigger, crying
out. PERHAPS for helps death cry signifies
little-fell over back, throwing the revolver
as he did so, a natural impulse of suicide.
There had been a reception at the colleg.,
the two percans heard running were prob
ably students after they had taken their
girls home. and at least had nothing 10 dc
with it. Shots are frequently fired at night
and not thought much Of One person who
had returned from the reception just before
only a few rods away never heard the shot
at all, and a young man who heard the cry
for help never heard any one running. Cries
for help, by the way, are generally made
before the shooting. 1ta murder was COM
mitted Albany people would he only too
glad 10 see the murderer captured and
brought to justice: but the evidence is near
ly all the other way.
