FOUND IN A POND.
The Mystery Surrounding the Disappear
nnce of Prof. Bancroft CIenred Up.

Providence, r. l., Feb. 23.-The body of
the missing Prof Bancroft was found at
an early hour this morning in Overs
pond, Cranston.
The remarkable disappearance of the
professor occurred on Monday, Dec. s,
1890. He had not been feeling well for
some time and on arising on the morning
OF that dav complained to his family of
being very i'll and wanting rest. lie asked
mis- daughter To take walk with him In
the suburbs, but on account OF other du-
ties the young woman did not go. He
was advised by Mrs. Bancroft TO 90 and
see doctor and not to attend TO his
classes that day. lie left home about 10
o'clock, but did not go to the doctors, nor
did ne go to the college.
The publication of the mystery brought
forth dozen or more stories, some OF
which were extraordinary, manv persons
reporting that they had seen him In dii-
ferent places. Prof. Bancroft was about
fifty-sight years old. He graduated from
Brown university in lSJ9. For some
time he taught school in Massachusetts,
but in 1868 was called to Brown as profes-
sor of rhetoric and English literature.
John Quinette and Leander Quinette,
MllO Mtft uI Hol tue VI
cinity Of the pond, discovered the body.
John went to the shore to break hole in
the ice to get water. About twenty-five
feet out from the shore he saw n hat
above the surface of the ice. The edge of
the pond was covered with ice sufficiently
strong to bear a heavy weight. This strip
of solid ice extended about eight yards
from the shore, and from there out there
was thin coating of ice to the middle Of
the sheet of water, which was open. John
called Leander and they went out to the
hat and found it immovably fixed TO the
head of the professor and jammed down
to the ears. The body was in an upright
position. The town sergeant was notified
and he. assisted by the Quinettes, drew
the body from the water. The sergeant
at once recognized the countenance, al
though it was much swollen and some
what bruised by contact with the edge of
the ice, against which the body had iioated.
