man. on South Royal street, Saturday aft
ernooD, shortly after 3 o'clock Mr.. RUSSELL
came to this city Friday and went to tn.
Hotel Fleischman, where he was assigned
to room No. I. He did not leave his room
that day and only made one CALL and that
for pitcher of ice water The fact that
Mr. Fussell was a guest of the hotel was
forgotten by Mr.. Fleischman, and Saturday
afternoon the latter had occasion TO use
room No. Z. ard when he went to the door
and endeavored to open it he found it

The jet Was still turned on. Coroner

mains sent to DeMaine's Undertaking es-
tablishment on King street. An examina-
ton was made and a bottle Of poison was

fed and in short while his brother arrived

morning it was not deemed necessary The
body is still at DeMaines undertaking es-
tablishment, but 1t is expected that 1t will
be taken to Washington this afternoon,
where it will be cremated at Lee crema-
tory. Mr.. RUSSELL, who was forty-nine

REDUCED AGENT A LOAF.

trolls That of Bread.
The retail price ofehread, which was rails
ed to six cents loaf several weeks ago
by reason of the action of the wholesale
bakers in adding asg'cent to their charges.
was put back to five cents this morning
and unless there Is some now unlooked-fcr
manipulation of the wheat market, result
ing in another rise In flour. the present
price is expectedito remain stationary. The
action taken is 4scribed to different causes
one held by a 1fews being that several of
the bakers had 1sold, bread at four cents a.
loaf to the retail trade during the recent
period when, othersJ were selling at five
and another, held ,by many, that the
fall in the price of -four led to the reduce
ton. II the latter representation is correct
it is Undoubtedly a very generous admis-
sion for the bakers to, make, as a couple
of years ago, when -four went down to a
point lower than ever before In its his
tory and demand was made to reduce the
price Of bread. the baksrs seriously claimed
that the price of flour really had nothing to
do with the price, OF bread enumerating
many Of the other articles entering into
it's mahtfacture as being the real causes
affecting It's cost The present REDUCTION is
therefore significaflt, and In many quarters
the wish is expressed that wien -fioar again
reaches a low price the bakers WIN &c
company the fall with another cut in the
price Of bread
