Death of DIR. Lanahan.

AS was anticipated, Rev. DIR. John
Lanahan, oldest minister in the service
of the Baltimore Annual Conference Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church and
head Of the Methodist Book Concern, in
Baltimore, died at o'clock yesterday
morning at his home in that city, after
a long illness. He was in his eighty
eighth year, and his last illness was due
partly to the infirmities of age. His
long service in the ministry attracted to
DIR. Lanahan large and influential
circle of friends, among whom was the
late President Mckinley. Besides being
one of the most prominent, Rev. Dr.
Lanahan was one of the strongest and
most popular of the ministers connected
with the Baltimore Annual Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. he
was born in HarrisOnburg, SO years ago.
His ancestors were Irish, who settled in
this country in 1870, locating in Rock
ingham county, Va. His father was
Thomas Lanahan, professional architect.
His mother was Miss Margaret Conkiin
before her marriage. DR.. Lanahan was
converted in early youth, being but IL
wears of age when he professed religion.
He had an unmistakeable call to the min
istry and few years after his conversion
he became minister of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. He became asso-
ciated with the Baltimore Annual Con-
ference in 1888, standing third on the
list of class of II, among whom were
"a number of bright young men who later
attained eminence in the Methodist min
istry. The deceased was pastor OF
Trinity NJ. f. Church in Alexandria at
the time the war between the States was
breaking out.

CLAIMS VICTORY FOR CITY.
Former Hay,r Green Explains Bearing Of
(olrt's Decision,

That the suits decided in the water
cases last week In Woonsockct against
the City OF Woonsocket. is really a VIC
tory for the city was explained by ex-
Mayor Greene
Mr.. Greene said: THE purposes OF the
suits against the city OF Woonsocket by
the mill owners on the Blackstone river
below Woonsocket were TO compel Woon-
socket to pay damages for the water di-
verted from Crooks Falls Brook, first dur
ing the period between 1898 and 1898. and
second for all the water OF that stream
which the city would probably divert In
future years. The master. C. Frank Park
hurst, ESQ. of Providence, to whom this
matter was referred By the court several
years ago, in a report to the court last
spring found that the damages sustained
by the complainant for loss OF water be-
tween 1893 and 1925 were something over
$4,000. and that the future damages to
the mills would be about s50,ooo
''fhe decision OF the court last week
sets aside both these findings. and estab-
fishes the principle for which the city
has contended I'm regard TO the basis OF
computing damages. The decision also in
substance directs the city to condemn
the water or Crooks Falls Brook and
have the damages 10 the mill owners
submitted 10 a Jury
but the important point OF the decision
consists In the announcement Of the prin-
ciple upon which damages should be COM
puted. The compainants have contended
that the city should pay for the whole
value OF the stream. and this contention
was upheld by the master In his report
last spring. on the other hand. the city
has contended that IL should not be com
PEELED TO pay for any more OF the water
In the brook than II actually used. and
that II should be credited with all the
water which IL returned TO the Blackstone
river through the sewers and by percola-
tion, which experts agree is over 40 psr
cent OF the total quantity OF water which
the city diverts This contention the court
In its decision yesterday completely and
fully sustains
THE decision recomnlits 20 the master
the matter OF damages snstslned between
1893 and 1895 and directs hin, 10 compute
the same upon the basis contendsd for by
the city. and wholly sets aside his nnd.
ings for future damages directing the
city. upon pain of an injunction against
the further use ~ the water. to com
mence condemnation proceedings within
