OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.
Life and Public Career of Edwin c
BurIpigh

Edwin e. Burleigh, of Augusta. whom
the republicans of the third Congressional
district OF Maine to-day nominated to
succeed the late Seth l.. Milliken, Of Bel
fast, in Congress, has long been promi-
nent figure in Maine politics.
Mr.. Burleigh was born in Linneus,
Maine, Nov. 27, 1913. He was educated at
Houlton academy, and afterward engaged
in teaching and land surveying. When
the war broke out he enlisted but was
rejected by the examining surgeon. He
entered the adjutant generals office as
clerk, and remained until the close of the
war.
In 1870, he was appointed clerk OF the
State land office at Bangor, whence he
moved in 1872 In 1876 he was chosen
state land agent and served three years.
During that time, and until 1880, he was
assistant clerk OF the House In 1880 he
became clerk in the State treasurer's office
and moved to Augusta. Five years later
be was elected State treasurer and served
with conspicuous ability. His admins
tration OF this office attracted attention
to his executive ability and knowledge of
State affairs, and during his second term
in lSAs, he Was nominated for governor,
and elected, and reelected in 1890
His administration was clean, able and
progressive. During this period an at
tempt was made to move the capitol from
Augusta to Portland, and was defeated
argely through his efforts. He secured
an appropriation to enlarge the present
capitol Through his influence the vote
to locate the muster field in another part
OF the State WAS changed, and under his
direction the historic Camp Keys WAS pur-
chased. He was also Instrumental in i'm
proving the State militia. During his
term as governor the site for the new in
sane hospital at Bangor was purchased.
Gov. Burleigh called attention to a need
for the retaliation OF the State, with the
result that 1t WAS increased S73 600, 900. He
appointed the State commission on taxa
ton which recommended the board of
State assessors. During his last term the
state debt was refunded on his recon-
mendatlon, and an annual saving of S7l,-
go in the interest account was made. In
his inaugural in 1891 he strongly advo-
Gated the Australian ballot system, and
eXerted his efforts To secure its adopt ion

Seeming Slight accident Proves Fatal.
Mark Pendleton, OF Bar Harbor, died
Sunday under peculiar circumstances.
About two weeks ago MIR. Pendleton was
opening a keg OF paint, when small
piece of the chIsel he WAS using broke off
and flew into his eye. At the advice OF
physicians he went to the hospital at
Bangor to have the eye treated. 1t was
feared that the eyesight would be de-
stroyed, but there was no thought of
more serious result.
At the hospital it was found necessary
to remove the eye, and the operation was
successfully performed. Mr.. Pendleton
rallied after the operation, and last week
he returned to Bar HarboT, apparently on
the rapid road to recovery. Soon after
reaching Bar Eiarbor alarming symptoms
OF blood poisoning became apparent, and
rapidly developed, terminating fatally
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Pendleton was forty-dve years OF
age. He was a sign painter by trade, and
was in the employ OF Lawford n Wake
field. He formerly lived in Winter Har-
Dor, and to that place his remains We're
taken Tuesday. He leaves a wife and one
daughter.
