Text	JACOB W. TITUS DEAD, Well-known Queens County Man Succumbs to Pneumonia Special to the Brooklyn Times. GLEN COVE, Long Island, January 16. Jacob W Titus, one of the best known and most popular young men in the town of Oyster Bay, and a son of Samuel M Titus, died at his home in Glen Cove at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. He was about 35 years old. The Cause of death was pneumonia, Mr. Titus having been confined to his hope just one week. On Wednesday last he complained of a cold and although the usual remedies were prescribed, he grew worse and Monday pneumonia set in. From the first appearance of the cold the deceased had a premonition that he would not survive it. He told a friend that he believed he not would get well, and that idea was strong with him until the last hour of consciousness. The news of his death will received with sincere regret by a host friends. Mr. Titus had few, if any, enemies, and enjoyed the confidence of all the most prominent men in Queens county. In politics he was Republican, and for years was a member of the Queens county central committee, where performed yeoman service in the interest of his party. During the last constitutional convention deceased won laurels as a committee clerk, earning the reputation of being one of the best clerks connected with that body. He had just been appointed a general committee clerk in the State Assembly, and was to have entered upon his duties last week, being the only Republican appointed from Queens county to a state office For two years Mr. Titus was engaged in the grain business in the West, being successful to an unusual degree. For several years the deceased has been with with the Times as a special correspondent from the town of Oyster Bay. His work with the newspaper line was such to commend him to those who were foremost in booming the interests of Glen Cove village, and the town in general. Mr. Titus leaves a widow and a young daughter to whom he was greatly attached. In his death this little family loses a kind and indulgent husband and father, the village a valued member of the society and business circles, and the public at large a man who was ever true to his friendships and faithful to all trusts imposed in him. The arrangements for the funeral have not been announced.
