BURROUGHS PROPHESY.
State Road Commissioner Tells
His Comrades He May Never
Address Them Again and
Immediately Expires.

TRENTON, May 4. Ss5.-Edward Bur
rough, the State Road Commissioners
and formerly President of the State
Board of Agriculture. fell dead yester-
day afternoon, at the residence of Gem
eral E.. Burd Grub, at Edgewater Park.
Mr.. Burrough had just completed the
delivery of an address at the annual re-
union of the T~wenty-third New Jersey
Regiment, when his death occurred.
Mr.. Burrough was the guest of the
association, and when he rose to speak
said it might be the last time he would
ever address them. He had scarcely
taken his seat and General Grubb begun
to speak. when he fell over and died in
~stantly, of heart failure. Mrs. Burrough
was at once notified. Mrs. Grub driving
over to Merchantviile for that purpose.
PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZEN.
Mr.. Burrough was born in 1S43. his
parents being member of the Society of
Friends. He had lived on a farm all his
life, purchasing, after his fathers death,
the old Burrough homestead, near
Merchantville. Camden county. which
has been in the family for over one
hundred years. Mr.. Burrough has al
ways been deeply interested in public
affairs. through a public-spiritedness,
which has been characteristic of all his
actions.
ELECTED TO THE ASSEMBLY.
He was elected to the House of Assem-
bly, in 1879 and in 1880 and also held
the position of County Clerk of Camden
county. Both these positions he filled
with ability and .f~aithfulness. But the
work by which he was best known and
in which he took the greatest interest
was in connection with the State Board
of Agriculture. with which he has been
identified for the past twenty years.
Nine years ago he was elected President
OF the Board. which Office he ably filled
until he resigned at a meeting of the
Executive Committee, held at his home
in September. 1894. He found the step
necessary when he was appointed by
Governor Werts to the position of State
Road Commissioner.
Mr.. Burroughs earnestness and public
spirit were shown most prominently in
his work in connection with New Jer-
sey's agricultural and horticultural OK
hihit at the Columbian Exposition. The
State Worlds Fair Commission having
asked the State Board of Agriculture and
Horticulture for exhibits, Mr.. Burrough
was appointed by the Executive Com
~dertaking, but it was Mr.. Burroughs
great desire to place New Jersey agricul-
ture. as he often said. in the front
rank among her sister States"
WAS AN OLD SOLDIER.
His final report covering that work
will soon appear in the annual report of
the State Board of Agriculture, which is
now being printed.
n Mr.. Burrough was President of the
New Jersey Forestry Association, which
was formed a little over a year 60. He
was also a emb of the G.. A. r.. haV-
war.
Mr.. Burrough seldom complained of
ill-health, although it was evident to
him that his long-continued and exact
ing work in connection with the Worlds
Fair had mad serious inroads upon his
health. He was in Trenton on Tuesday
Of this week and at that time appeared
to be perfectly well. He caves a wife.

SOMETHING OF THE BIBLE.
Manuscripts of the New and Old Tex-
tamenfa Often ReXrftten.


The New Testament, as we know it,
comes down to us after having been
kept for hundreds of years in manus-
cript form by the priests, fathers of
the church," and others. The writings
have been copied and recopied probably
scores of times, at least as often as
OCCASION required, being always re-
newed before becoming unintelligible by
use and wear. The two oldest of these
manuscripts now known are the Codex
Seniaticus and the Codex Vaticanus,
zach of which dates from the Fourth
Century, A. D. The languages orr
ginally used IN this work were Hebrew
and Greek. but after the year 300 A., D.
the manuscripts were all, or nearly all,
written in Latin. The last mentioned
language was that adopted by the
Roman Church in their translations and
was known as the .Vulgate," because
commonly used in the churches. AS far
back as the Seventh Century portions
of the Vulgate were translated into old
English. and it was also the version used
predecessors and was the first book
printed from movable type, 1905.
tr~ansiation Of the original Greek, made
Tde authorized version" or King
JaTnas's translation, was made by Al OF
the most eminent British scholars and
was finished in the year 1911. The Latin
Vulgate was the main version used by
them; but, so far as they were accessible,
other manuscripts, both in Greek and
Hebrew, were consulted and compared.
The manuscripts of the Old Testament
have had similar experiences, having
been written and rewritten thousands of
IN writing by the priests and leaders of
the Israelites about the year 1900 B. c.
All of the older copies have, of course,
fore the birth of Christ, the oldest cop
les in manuscript form now in existence,
so far as is known, dating from the year

SENTENCE OF PoNTIUs PLATE
Most Remarkable Uttered by HttIgan
Lips In the worlds History

Lips In the WOrids& HRstOrystg
The following is a correct transcript
of the sentence of Pontius plate, the
most memorable judicial sentence which
has ever been uttered by human lips in
the annals of the world:
Sentence pronounced by Pont.us Pr
late. Intendant of the Lower Gal.lee, that
Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death by
the cross. In the seventeenth year of
the reign of the Emperor Tiber4uss and
on the 25th of March, In the most holy
city of Jerusalem, during pontificate of
Annas and Caiaphas, Pontius PLATE,
~Intendant of the Province of Lower
Galilee, sitting in judgment in the presi-
Dental chair of the praetor, sentences
Jesus of Nazareth to death on a cross,
between two robbers. as the numerous
testimonies of the people prove that %
Jesus is a misleader: % He has excited
the people to sedition; 90 he is an enemy
to the laws; a. He calls himself the son
of God: 90 He falsely calls himself the
King of Israel; () He went to the temple
followed by a multitude carrying palms
In their hands,"
1t likewise orders the first Centurion,
Quirilius Cornelius, to bring him to the
place of execution. and forbids all per-
sons, rich or poor. to prevent the *
ecution of Jesus.
The witnesses who ave signed the
execution against Jesus are: u Daniel
Robani, a Pharisee: % John Zorobabel;
90 Raphael Robani; I'd Capet. Finally
it orders that the. said Jesus be taken
out of Jerusalemathrough the gates of
Tournea.
There seems to be no historical doubt
as to the authenticity of the above
document, and it is obvious that the
reasons of the sentence correspond
exactly with those recorded in the Cos
pels.
The curious document was discovered
in A. D.. 1880 in the city of Aqu.ll, IN the
kingdom of Naples, in the course of a
search being made for the discovery of
Roman antiquities, and it remained
there until it was found by. the com.
misSaries of art In the French Army of
Italy. Up to the time of the campaign
IN Southern Italy 1t was preserved in
the sacristy of the Carthusians, near
Naples, where it was kept in a box of
Since then the relic has been kept in
the Chapelo Caserta. The Carthusians
obtained by petition leave that the plate
might be kept by them as an acknoW-
Judgment of the sacrifices which they
had made for the French Army. The
French translation was made literally
by members of the Commission of Art.
Demon had a fac-simile of the plate en-
graved, which was bought by Lord
Howard, on the sale of his cabinet, for
1880 francs.-Newark Sunday Call.

APPoRTIoNMENT BILL
Joint Caucus Accepts and 1t Will
BE Passed by n Party Vote.

There was a general desire on the part of
the Republican Senators and Representa-
tives to attend the meeting tonight of the
State Lincoln League, and the joint caucus
that was called for tonight held last
night. Senator Wishard, addressing the
caucus. stated that there was no opposition
to his bill. introduced some time ago, repeal
ing the legislative apportionment act now in
force. and that that bill would be passed.
He stated further that all of the members
Of the special committee had agreed to the
legislative bill introduced by him, except
Representative Melendy, who would report
recommending the passage of the bill intro
duced by himself. 1t was reported that the
committee was making progress in the
drafting of a bill on congressional appor-
tionment and that the committee would
probably have a bill to report at the next
meeting of the caucus.
Senator ShiYeley, from the committee ap-
pointed to report plan for the control OF
the State institutions, stated that the COM
mittee would recommend the bpar tiSan plan
that is boards to consist OF two Republicans

this report, declaring that he had not at
tended a meeting of the committee, and 50
far as he could ascertain there had been no
meeting OF the committee called. The re-

Shiveley and no one else.

subject OF the metropolitan police, is badly
