business late last night. The crime was
not discovered until noon when DR.. Funk,
a dentist living near the shooting gallery,
notified the police that two women had
called upon him and told him that some
thing was wrong in the gallery. The Of
fcers burst open the door, and Russell was
found dead q bullet having pierced his
brain. While the officers were in the place
a woman who DR.. Funk declared to be one
Of the two who called upon him,
came with a physician. She was at
once taken into custody and gave the
name OF Mrs. Rosa Sherwood. She said
mat she had been in the habit Of calling
every morning 10 do Russeu's housework,
as be was an unmarried man. This morn
,ng she hai come as usual with her sister,
Mrs. Annie Hewitt, and when they were
unable 10 get in the front door of the gal
lerv she had gone to the rear door. Mrs.
Hewitt had entered first, and found Rus

with this, except that she asserts that Mrs.
Sherwood first entered the place. She con-
tradicte6 herself on several points, declar-
ing that she had not been near the gallery
for six months until this morning, and then
admitting that she had been there last
night Both women were detained.
At midnight Cbarles Hewitt and Jesse

prosecuting the Correspondents.

PARIs, Januaay l2.-The government has
begun a campaign against foreign newspa-
per correspondents in this city. To-day
dispatches from Berlin, Buds Pestk and
London announce that the insinuations OF
the COcdrds had been transformed by Paris
correspondents OF newspapers in these
cities into open suggestions that either
Baron Mohrenheim. Russian Am Oassador.
or Count Menabrea, formerly Italian Am
bassador, had been influenced in favor Of
the Panama Canal Co, by brioe Of 500.-
600 francs. Herr Wedel, correspondent,
for several German dsilies. was one Of The
guilty men, and he was notified that
be must leave the country. NJ. Sslche,
correspondent ofthe PeSti HGrlap has been
arrested for telegraphing the report In
question TO Buda Psstn. Several other
correspondents have been notified that
they will be expelled from Paris for the
same odsnse.
This afternoon NJ Ribot called on Baron
Mohrenheim and Signor HessmaD, success
or to Count Mecabre3, and apologized 20
each for the reflection cast uDon the honor
of the representatives Of their soyereigns.

the short term was not decided, and upon
this point only, the arrangement falls OF

This situation was brought about IN
