BURNS SUDDEN DEATH.
While in the Office Of Architect Davis
He Was Stricken by ApOplexy.
An Inquest Held.

Foreman Michael Burns, of the
plumbing and steam heating depart
ment of Hunt & Connell, dropped dead
of apopleXy at IL o'clock yesterday
morning in the office of Architect Ed
ward ii. Davis on the sixth floor of the
Commonwealth building.
Architect Davis prepared the plans
for new No. 10 school on the South
side. and Hunt & Conenll has the con-
tract for the sanitary work and steam
heating. Mr.. Burns made a call at
Mr.. Davis office earlier in the day, but
did not find him in. and he left note
asking Mr. Davis to telephone to Hunt
g. Connelis as soon as he arrived. Mr.
Burns then went away.
\ few minutes before IL o'clock Mr..
Davis came in, and seeing the note,
Immediately telephOned for Mr.. Burns.
The latter was not long in coming,
and as he reached the waiting room of
the architects Office he stopped to look
at something, or stopped on account Of
sudden pain, but if it was the lat
ter reason, he made no noise nor was
not heard to grOan. Mr.. Davis heard
something fall heavily to the floor. but
he thought Mr.. Burns had upset some
thing. Mr.. Seward, who works in the
office, looked to see what caused the
noise and he saw Mr.. Burns stretched
on his back on the floor.
DIR. j. l.. WentZ was called, but
death had set in. and from the appear
ance of the body death must have
been almost instantaneous. When Mr..
Seward first saw him his breast was
heaving, but the face was stony and
there was no sign of animation in it.
Coroner Longstreet was notified and
he gave orders to have the body re-
moved to Raubs undertaking estab-
lishment. At go in Inc afternoon
visited Raub's and with DIR. Walter NJ.
Reedy made a post-mortem eXamina-
tion. Dr. John O'Malley was also
present.
The jury empaneled consisted of W..
A. Raub. Charles Raub. John Raub,
w. G. Moser, Jacob Demuth and o. NJ.
Custer. The examination showed that
death was due to apopleXy and the ver-
diet of the jury was in accordance.
Undertaken Cusick was then sum-
moned and conveyed the remains to
the late home, 1925 Pittston avenue.
where mourning widow and seven
young children were in waiting. The
children are Annie. James, Mamie,
Thomas, John, Joseph and Gertrude.
Mr.. Burns was prominent member
of st. Johns parish. South Side. and
from his position as foreman for Hunt
4 Conenll was well known in the city.
He was Al years old and entered the
employ of that firm twenty-five years
ago just after finishing his trade in
the shop of w. G. Doud. Twelve years
ago he was appointed foreman of the
plumbing and steam fitting depart
ment, and he had general charge of all
the work. He sang in the choir of st.
Johns church. belonged to st. Pat
rck's Total Abstinence and Benevolent
society, and was n member of Branch
50, Catholic Mutual Beneficial associa-
tion. He had just let the contract for
a new residence next to that of Dr. j.
J. Walsh, on Pittston avenue. and the

The statement OF the Railway AGE that
during the present year railway building
reached i lower point than in any 81 the
last twenty years, Is susceptible of very
simple explanation. The greatest era OF
railroad construction is over. ard in the
future most railroad growth will be the
gredual extension Of their irot tendrils in
sections already occupied BY their trunk
or branch lines In 1894 railroad balance
sheets we're showing an alarmingly reg
ular decrease, and the whole theory and
practice OF railroad manas -msnt was tenn
porarily condensed to one p%ostulate Of ;ht
times. reduction Of expenses. With in
creasing earnings and extensive crops al
ready many OF the companies are dis.

ritory upon which their coyetous fingers
have been itching to close.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The Astorian this morning wishes its
readers a very happy and prosperous New
Year.
We are stepping today on the threshold
Of a fateful and important epoch in the
history OF our city, a period traught with
ve'ghty and abundant causes for careful
and united action, enthusiasm and hard
work II our citizens wish to fulfil the des-
tiny OF Astoria and to bring about all
the happy results for which they have 50
long been labcring, The year Just ended
has with us, and indeed with the whole
state, been one OF action. How many
important things have called for and re-
ceived attention in Astoria since the be-
ginning Of 1855! The county road agita-
ton in the beginning OF the year is bear
ing good results our real estate men
nave got together, are working as a unit
for the good OF the city. and have sue
cessfully opened up several important ad-
ditions. We have seen the inception Of a
new and excellent line OF steamships from
this river to Japan and China Our fire
department has been improved n new
and costly apparatus added to its ma
terial In the shape Of an alarm system, a
chemical engine and other innovations.
Our magnificent system OF water works
has been completed. and in a few days
will be in operation. Our salmon Gamers
have had a most successful year: their
new hatchery is doing its work well.
guaranteeing future growth Of the splen-
did salmon industry in Astoria. Our
railroad proposition has taken shape after
years OF weary waiting. and much actual
work has already been done. Before 1896
comes to a close the whistle of the loco
motive and the rumble Of the cars will
be heard in the midst Of our city. Our
streets have been improved. our business
depression is rapidly lifting. and the year
m in with rays OF hope shining every
where.
Astoria's death roll for 1895 has been
very small. but it includes two Of our
most prominent and best-loved citizens
l. W. Case and J. P. Dickinson. 1t is
fitting on this morning OF this new year
to drop a pearl in memory's caskst in
recollection Of their worth.

A GRACEFUL c

The question has been asked the As
torian: What are the Confederate dis
abilities which congress has so tardily re-
moved?
In 1866, unde the stress Of reconstruc-
tion and the making Of other adjustments
as to the people OF the Southern states,
congress passed the following law:
NO person who has served in any
capacity in the military, naval or civil
service Of the so-called Confederate
states, or Of either Of the states in insur-
rection during the late rebellion, shall be
appointed to any position in the army Of
the United States"
Last week. under the impulse Of the
Venezuelan outburst, Senator Hill intro
duced a bill repeating the act, and on
the following Tuesday the senate passed
1t, the Republican senators being fore
most in consenting. 1t went through the
house with equal celebrity, and thus the
last Of the disabilities imposed upon those
who had served the Confede-acy ha n.
been removed from the statute books.
The disabling statute was, Of course,
aimed solely at those who had held posi-
tions of influence and power, and had
more or less directed the fortunes Of the
states in rebellion.
Gracious as the repeating act may be,
1t can scarcely affect these, for they
have passed or are rapidly passing away.
Tic clash CT arms will rover again call
them to battle. But There are doubtless
