ncKinIey Day.


No special services were held in the
churches of this city In commemoration
of the late President Mckinley, who
died year ago Sunday, but allusion
was made to the martyred president in
the prayers offered up at the morning
and evening services The late presi-
dents favorite hymn 'Nearer my God
to Thee was sung in every church.
Many private citizens remembered the
tragedy by displaying flags at half mast
and other signs of mourning.
1t is probable that the Jersey City
Water Supply company, now controlled
by the East Jersey Water company, this
week will award to the Metropolitan
Construction company of Jersey City a
contract for the proposed back dam at
Parsippany. This dyke is to form part
of the 81, 1896, 900 new water works. 1t
will cost about $150,000 to build. The
work on the main dam at Boonton and
on the pipe line is going on now without
interruption.

SURVEYORS AT SALEM.

The northern corps of Rock
Island surveyors under Captain
Clark ran their line into town
last Friday. This line crosses
South Fork about 300 yards below
the steel bridge and comes up
the west side of the town branch
to Salem.
On Saturday the southern
corps under Captain Ramsdell
moved their camp here, and on
Wednesday ran their line into
town west Of the square. Owing
TO a slight difference in altitude
OF the two surveys Captain Rams
dell will run another line today
which he thinks will be entirely
satisfactory.
On Monday CAPTAIN Clark ran
another line which comes in west
of the knob. Captain Ramsdell
will probably meet this line which
is just west of town. They have
given it out that they can meet

Robert Tatman, an 8-year-old-
lad, when passing close to where a
large black bear was chained was
caught between the paws of the
animal, and the latter dragged
him close to his body and, plac-
ing the youths head in his wide
ly-open mouth, was crushing his
skull, when the bears keeper
rushed to the scene, and using
only his hand, pried open the
mouth of the now ferocious mon

The little one was unconscious,
and an examination revealed the
fact that his skull had beed badly
fractured. He was also torn
about the lower limbs by the

State Crop, Report.

The favorable weather which pre-
vailed the greater portion of the
week enabled farmers to advance
the work of the season and to make
satisfactory progress in planting
corn and cotton, and preparing for
later paintings Of spring crops. The
weather was rather cool for good
growth of vegetation and for proper
termination of planted seeds. In
some sections good showers fell at
intervals which improved the con-
dition OF the soil. There is much
ground remaining to be turned, es-
pecially in the Middle Division,
owing to the delay resulting from
the recent floods which DESTROYED
an immense amount of fencing,
which had to be replaced or re-
paired; in some counties in this Di-
vision special fence laws were
necessary for the protection of crops
contiguous on the water courses.
Wheat that was not flooded, or
covered with soil, has improved and
is looking fairly well, but much of
it is too thin to make much of a
crop, and much of the late sowings
is being plowed up to be replaced by
corn or other crops. Spring oats
are making good growth; meadows
and pastures are coming out well.
Irish potatoes are about all planted
and some are coming up. Tobacco
plants are growing well and are
plentiful; in some localities the beds
sown in January were frozen out,
Gardens as a rule, are late. In the
Western Division tomato plants are
mostly set out, and strawberries are
doing fairly well. In most sections
the prospects for peaches are good; !
in others some injury by the late
frosts is reported; this is true in
some of the northern counties. In
some of the tobacco distric pre-
paratious are being made for a
large acreage of this product. The
week closed with warm, springllke :
weather.
