BURKE NO MORE.
Was One of the Pioneer Citi-
zens of JeffersonvilIe.

The death of James Burke at his home,
3l3 East Market street, in Jacksonville,
at 10 O'Clock Monday night, came as a
shock to his many friends in that city
and Louisville. While he had at times
complained of stomach trouble, his con-
dition was not regarded as serious, and
Monday he was at the coal Office of his
son, James E. Burke. He was in his
usual jolly mood, and talked to friends
about their experiences years ago. He
after reaching there was seized with a
chill. He was in the yard and, stagger-
ing into the house, he was assisted to
couch. DR.. c. +. c. Hancock was sum-
moned. Mr.. Burke appeared to rally,
and he was taken up stairs. At 10 O'Clock
he was suddenly taken worse and the end
quickly followed. He was surrounded by
his wife, son James f. and daughters,
Mrs. Alvin A. Volt and Miss Cornelia A.
Frank B. Burke, former District Attor-
ney of Indiana, is the oldest son, and he
was called up by telephone at his home
in indianapolis. The death of his father
was shocking surprise to him, for he
had few days ago visited him.
James Burke was born in February,
1926, i'll County Limerick, Ireland. He
emigrated to America with his mother in
lS43 and came direct to Jacksonville to
meet his brother, John Burke, with whom
he engaged in business. After FIVE years
he became contractor and paved the
streets of Jacksonville. His dealings
with the city and the public in general
won the title for him of Honest Jim
Burke. In 1868 he was elected Council
man from the Fourth ward, although it
was Republican. He served until 1872.
In 1875 he was elected City Treasurer.
He was reelected in 1877 and served
until September, 1881.
Mr.. Cleveland appointed him Postmas-
ter at Jacksonville in 1886. Prior Io
this appointment he was one of the prin-
cipal contractors on the Owensboro &
Russellville railroad and continued there
until 1884. He was also contractor on
the Knoxville branch of the L. & N
railroad. From 1884 until 1886 he was g
coal dealer He was married in 1855 tc
Miss Cornelia Crawford, of New Orleans
Mr.. Burke was devout Catholic, with
an open heart and purse. No man II
Jacksonville was more highly esteemed
than he.

POPS IN A wRANGLE.
Committee on Credentials Delayed In It's
 Report

Cincinnati, September 5.--The national lists was to have convened at the Lycepmr at a. rn.. but owing to the conferences of leaders and the inability of Ignatius DohA nelly and others to find the hall the conven-
 ton was not called to order until 12:3O D. -nI-
 In calling the convention to order, John A. Parker, of Louisville, secretary of the
 Reform Press Association, strongly atfve-
 cated independent action by the populisfs
 whether it is done at this convention Or some future time
 Ignatius Donnelly was chosen temporary chairman, and made most radical speech denouncing all those leaders who had cp- operated for thesfuson with the democrats. eIIe re ferred to Grover Cleveland as a trai- stor to the democratic party and Senator Butler as a traitor to the popuist party. He was especially severe in denounciffg Senator Butler as a man who reached an exalted position by connivng with the re publicans for his election to the senate sand now under instructions from W. D.. sPryan he is connivng with the democrats. . The afternoon session disclosed many df- ferences between middle of the roaders, who were denouncinz fusienists as demoral- izing. They were united on the subject of such permanent organization as to pre- vent fusion or assertion and preferred an Independent ticket for 1900. As the commit tee on credentials had not reported, Chair man .Donnelly was compelled to recognize whoever could get the floor, and there was much discussion over a partial repoTt.,qn credentials. As the calls for this convention were misunderstood and by many thought to have been withdrawn, it was difficult to pass on any credentials. Most of those present are self-constituted delegates, or at least unable to show the usual credentials,
 and there is another class claiming the right to vote proxies. As there are seilly, two or three delegates present from some states, the question of proxy Is one of, the paramount features the convention hangs 1on ,.-ss |

VERY MUCH SURPRISED
Gen. Lee Doesn't Like Idea of Disturb
 ingHis Corps.

Jacksonville, Fla, September 5.-A good , deal of surprise has been felt by officers and civilians alike at the action of the war department in ordering away half of the Seventh corps, they having spent the sum mer here and all preparations made for sending the troops to Cuba
 While General Lee is reticent on the sub ject and as a soldier cannot speak. yet it is known that he feels both humiliated and indignant that such should be done after the most positive assurances were given to him at Washington that the corps would go to Cuba. In the case of the Second Vir- ginia, which has been ordered mustered out it is said that this action was taken without the knowledge of the governor of Virginia, and that as matter of fact the Second desired to stay in, while 1t was the Fourth Virginia that was most anxious to be mustered out.
