JOHN j. DAVIS DEAD.
The WeIl-Known Coke Man Passes
AWay.

CORNING, N. Y, Jan. 25.-John j.
Davis, prominent citizen of Tioga,
Pa, and superintendent of the Tioga
coke works for the Fall Brook Coal COM
pany, died at his home Saturday
night, after term of sickness
covering a period of three months. His
ailment was an organic disease affect
ing the spleen. Many prominent ply
sicians from New York state and Penn
sylvanla have been in attendance upon
him for weeks, but without avail. Mr..
Davis was born in South Wales in 1887.
At the age of twelve years he immi-
grated to this country with his mother,
his father having been killed in
the mines. Coming to Scranton, Pa.
he Joined his brother in the mines. His
practical ability attracted the attention
of his employers, and he was at an early
age placed in charge of extensive opera
tions in developing the anthracite de-
posits in the vicinity of Scranton.
Davis was finally engaged by the Old
Salt company, of Syracuse. to develop
its bituminous coal deposits. located at
what is now the town OF Morris, in
Tioga county, Pa. In 1876 Mr.. Davis
was made superintendent of the Arnot
mines, then owned and operated by the
Blossburg Coal company. He continued
in that capacity until the property was
purchased by the New York, Lake Erie
& Western company, at the same time
carrying on extensive coal explorations
and making many notable developments.
He had long been recognized as re-
liable authority pertaining to coke de-
positS. He leaves family OF several

COAL TAXES.
An Important Supreme Court De-
cisiOn Upon Them.

An Important Supreme Court De-
cision Upon Them.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 25.-The decision of
the supreme court of Illinois affirming
the decision of the st. Clair county
court, in the suit of James d. Baker,
collector, against The Consolidated Coal
Company, of st. Louis. to collect taxes
on veins of coal. will resultin thousands
of dollars annually being paid into the
st. Clair county treasury. 1t also estab-
fishes precedent throughout the state
upon point which has never hereto
fore been brought before court of law.
Collector Baker in 1890 notified the Con-
solidated Coal company that they would
be obliged TO pay taxes upon veins of
coal supposed to exist in certain lands,
the mining right of which was owned
by them. The coal company refused
upon the ground that the value of the
veins was not known. Suit was brought
to collect delinquent taxes, and Judge
Hay decided in favor of the county.
holding that the tax paid by the owner
of the surface did not pay for any sup
posititous veins of mineral. An appeal
was. taken to the supreme court, which
has affirmed Judge Hays decision.

TROY'S POLLUTION
Causes an Epidemic of Typhoid
Fever in Albany.

Fever in Albany.
ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 25.-Much un-
easiness is felt here over the prevalence
of typhoid fever. There are eighty
cases in the city proper, twelve
of which were reported yesterday.
and many deaths have already oc-
Cured from this cause. The fever
is of violent type in most OF the cases.
The alarm, however, is not because of
either the number of cases or their viz
ulency, but on account of their location.
Only two of the patients reside east of
Pearl street, where more than fifth OF
the city's 100000 inhabitants have
homes. All the others are in
the district west of Pearl street.
An investigation puts the drainage
factor out of the question, and the only
other probable cause of the fever is the
water supply. All that part of the city
west of Pearl street uses Hudson river
water, east of Pearl street being sup
piled from the new reservoir built by
the special water commission and filled
with water collected far beyond the
city limits. The water supply Ques-
tion has been holly discussed here, and
this outbreak of deadly fever is plainly
attributable to the river water. The
efforts of tie old commission to force
another pumping station on the city
will be fought to a.final defeat during
the present year. They asserted
that the s,0OO,OOo gallons CT sewage
which Troy empties into the river
daily but six miles above Albany,
to which must be added as much
more from other cities and towns on the
upper Hudson is eliminated by natural
publication before Albany is reached.
Tne present outbreak of fever seems to
refute this statement and to prove that
the water is absolutely unfit for drink
ing purposes. The fever has also broken
out in Troy. One family named Ander-
son has buried several children within
the week. besides the mother and the
remaining children are stricken With
the fever
