Mr.. John Russell. o well. known
citizen of Brooklyn, Anne Arundel
county, committed suicide YESTERDAY
afternoon by shooting himself in the
head. About halfpast four O'Clock
the only son of Mr.. Russell came
home from the city. He asked his
mother for his father, and she told
him he was in the carpenter.shop near
the house. The young man went 10

returned to his mother. Mrs. Rms
sell then began looking about the
place, and upon glancing into the
water-closet she found her husband
lying there in dying condition. blood
streaming from his head. She at
once called Mr.. Louis Grieneisen, a
neighbor, who ran to the spot and lifted
the dying man up, and found four.
barreled pistol of small calibre lying
near where Mr.. Russell's head had
rested. 1t is thought he had then
been shot about half an hour, as the
blood had already clotted on his head
and on the floor. The neighbors re-
moved him to the house, where he re-
mained in an unconscious condition
until 7 O'Clock last night, when he
died. He never spoke after being
found.
The cause of the act is said to have
been undue religious excitement. Mr..
Russell was a member of the Metho-
dist church, and took an active inter-
est in religious affairs. He met Mr..
Charles ID. Anderson during the day,
and while discussing religious topics,
asked Mr. Anderson what would be
the future reward of a man who took
his own life. lie was told that it was
an objectionable sin. During the past
two weeks, Mrs. Russell says he was
haunted with the idea that he would
come to want The deceased was about
GO years old. He carried on the car
penter business, and his wife fancy
goods and notion store in Brooklyn.

Conduit Street.

If unfavorable comments and sharp
criticisms would have the least ten
dency to rehabilitate the bed of Con-
duit street with a new pavement, it
would remain unnecessary for US to
call the attention of our City Fathers
to the same. Undoubtedly it is one of
the Oldest paved streets in the city,
and We venture to say has never been
repaved since the colonial days, if
ever. 1t badly needs overhauling,
and immediate attention should be
given to it; but as usual, we suppose
we viii have TO wait.
