Death of DIR. Bancroft.

DR.. E. X. Bancroft, formerly OF Mount
Holly, died at st. Paul, Minnesota, on
Saturday afternoon, August 4.
While living at Mount Holly Dr. Ban
croft was troubled with throat affection
A large practice gave him little opportu'
nifty to rest aud give himself the attention
necessary to restore health and he de-
cided to remove to Minneapolis, and left
for that city about twelve years ago.
He went into real estate speculation at
first, but during the past few years has
been employed in the Office of the Min
neapolis and st. Louis Railway Company
The climate of Minnesota seemed to agree
with him, and undoubtedly prolonged
his life, but the malady had got deep
seated before DIR. Bancroft left Mount
Holly, and he required constant medical
attention.
One spot in his throat gave him con-
siderable trouble, and it was finally de-
cided to have an operation performed by
a st. Paul physician who had afforded
DR.. Bancroft much relief. Mrs. Bancroft
was to have accompanied her husband to
the physicians office on Sunday, but on
the previous evening DR.. Bancroft went
over by himself and insisted upon having
the operation performed at once. Heart
failure ensued before it was ov2r.
The st. Paul physician did not know
his patients address, and was unable to
communicate with the family. DIR. Ban
croft failing to return to his home in the
evening, his son began inquiring by tele'
phone, and finally called up the st. Paul
physician, who gave the sad intelligence
that the dead body of the absent father
was in his Office.
The remains were taken home and in
tered IN Minneapolis on Wednesday.
DR.. Bancroft was 81 years of age. He
leaves wife, two daughters and son.
The children have attained their majority.

There is proposition still pending in
the Legislature, and which will be taken
up when it re-convenes in the fall, to
abolish the Office of lay Judge to our coun-
ty courts. There has for long time been
strong feeling throughout the state that
this Office had outliyed its usefulness, and
if half is true that is said about many of
the incumbents they are little else than
machine politicians, ready to do any
work that the appointing power or the
bosses behind it want them to do OF
course there are notable executions to
this rule, and there are lay judges who
are as we'll fitted for the position they oc-
cupy as their more learned associates of
the bench. In the progress OF time and
the many changes in society since lay
judges first became necessity, there
seems for the most part little or nothing
left for most of them to do but the work
of the political bosses.
Very indelicately, as we think, some Of
these lay judges are moving to prevent
the repeal of the law creating their class
If they had a proper conception of the
character of their position they would
leave it for the public to say whether
there is any longer any use for them.

1t would seem that this is to be an of
year for crsnberries. Judge Emson says
be will not have one-quarter of last years
crop, and other growers put the figures
lower still. Only few of the big boys in
Ocean county will have a fair crop; and in
Burlington county it is about as bad. Re-
ports from Chicago tell the same story Of
the Wisconsin crop. Various conditions
have conspired to bring about this state
of affairs. First of all, the warm weather
of March, followed by the late frosts, did
much damage to the vines. Then came
the heavy rains OF May and early June
when the berries were blossoming and
blooms were blasted. This was followed
by the summers drought, which complet-
ed the destruction.
Cape Cod will give a poor showing.
Latest reports from Massachusetts say
that the frosts there this spring injured
the vines so that not more than half a
crop will be raised.

OhpI. mafIln Il. AalneS, a. y. hl0er, y.
w. Wilkinson, Joshua S. Wills and JOS
eph Evans, who have been inspecting the
large cranberry bogs of Burlington coun-
ty, report that they find the prospect for
berries this year is only fair. Some of
the boys will yield as much as they did
last year, but the majority of them will
fall considerably below, and many of
them will not yield one-third a crop. The
aggregate falling off it is thought will be
about thirty per cent

New Jersey isn't very large state and
less than half her area is cultivated, but
she seems to produce more dollars to the
square inch than any of her neighbors.
A writer in the Outlook says: Here is an
interesting fact about New Jersey Take
the acreage of the state and the value of
the agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts, and then do two little problems In
division, and it will be seen that the
value Of the agriculture and of the man
ufactures is each greater per acre than in
any other state in the country"

Bioyoling at Riverton.

The Park Avenue Wheelmen held their
fifth annual meet on the track of the
Riyerton Athletic Association on Satur-
day afternoon About 1000 spectators
were present, including many ladies.
Those who were on the ground for the
first time were surprised at its complete
ness and its fine appearance. The grand
stand was prettily decorated with flags.
Boffinger, of the Riverside Wheelmen,
of New York, carried off the honors of
the day, riding heat in the one mile,
2.40 class, IN 227 1-5, and covering the
same distance in the mile handicap in
2. 90 AS, declining to take the handicap
allowed him in order to ride the full dis
lance from scratch. The latter time is
now the competitive record for the River
ton track.
Owing to overcro wding in a number of
heats, there were several spills, the most
serious occurring in the third heat of the
! 24O class, in which ten men started.
While rounding the last turn in the first
lap, Henzel collided with Church, result
ing in the former injuring his arm and
being badly bruised about the body.
Lewis, who was in the rear, attempted to
get around the men, but rode over the
banking striking on his shoulder and
breaking his collar bone
In the first heat of the 2.40 class, q
limit of 2.51 was placed. which not being
reached the event was run over in 2.45-
4-5. The tri-county championship be-
tween riders from Camden, Gloucester
and Burlington counties attracted much
interest from the New Jersey spectators.
The preliminary trials had been run on
Saturday afternoons for several weeks
past.
The hye mile handicap was the best
race of the afternoon and was run in the
very good time of IL minutes and "a sec
onds. Bofiinger set the pace for 10 laps,
when Kinnier came to the front for lap.
Boainger, however, again got the lead
and finished an easy winner.

The ship canal project being agitated
by Philadelphisns, is at present IN the
hands of engineers who are to survey
routes, number of citizens having sub
scribed $4,000 for that purpose. 1t is
understood that two routes are to be con-
sidered, both of which follow the Della
ware river as far as Trenton. The one
devised by Prof Haupt follows very
closely the bed of the Delaware and Rar-
tan Canal, while that Of State Geologlst
John C. Smock takes up an entirely new
line, and runs parallel between the Penn
sylvania Railroad main line to New York
and the old Camden and Amboy. There
will also be survey made of direct line
across New Jersey, coming out in the
ocean between Little Egg Harbor and
Barnegat Light. The Philadelphia com
mission is receiving the cooperation of
the New Jersey State authorities, with in
dications that New Jersey will give val
liable assistance to the project should one
of the proposed routes be agreed upon.
Besides giving the right of way it will
necessarily be expected to give assistance
when the financial end of the project is
taken up.
1t is expected the engineers will have
gone over the ground and be able to
make a report on the various routes by at
least the middle of November so that
their reports can be printed and given
free discussion in the meetings of the
Boards of Trade and other bodies that
are interested in the canal scheme. All
the plans OF making a short route from
Philadelphia to the sea will be freely dis
cussed during the winter, and by spring
it will be definitely known whether such
a canal can be built and the necessary
funds be produced to carry on the work.
The Chicago Inter Ocean hits it exactly.
