Deatb of Former Resident.

WIS Jane Eliza Foard died yesterday
n,o,,...c 1t :. 40 o'clock at the residence
of he, son, Dir. n. Z. Foard, 1902 Lin
den avenue, Baltimore, in the ninety
second year of her age. She was born
November %, 1872, in this city. Her
husband, Mr.. Joseph w. Fosrd, died in
1867, aged 81 years, since which time
she resided in Baltimore. She was
the mother of nine children, Of whom
only two survive; namely, Mr.. Norval
E. Foard and Mr.. Clarence L. Foard.
She leaves seven grandchildren and two
great grandchildren, daughters Of her
grandson, Mr.. William F. Gettrust, OF
the Baltimore City Fire Alarm Telegraph.
Three of her grandchildren live in~Cin-
cinnali. On attaining her ninety-frst
birthday in November last she was the
recipient Of many congratulations, and
Mt that time gave promise of much longer
duration of life than was finally decreed
to her. In fact she did not show any
particular signs of failure in either bodily
or mental yigor until about the middle Of
January last when she fell in the room
and had to take to her bed. She rallied
from the shock, but various complications
OF diseases incident to extreme age ensued,
and even over these her remarkable vital
ity triumphed from time to time in a
way to inspire hopes. In passing away
she simply fell asleep. She connected
herself in very early life with the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and while living
in Baltimore became member OF st.
PauPs Methodist Episcopal Church
South, of which Rev. H. II. Sherman is
pastor. Funeral services will be held at
the late home of Mrs. Foard at O. clock
Thursday morning. The interhent will
be made in the Southern Methodist Gem
etery near this city at 1870 O'Clock.

Advance in Price of Bread.

Housekeepers when they visited stores
and bakeries this morning for the purpose
of securing supplies of the staff OF life
found that the price of this essential
had been advanced one cent a pound
ON some loaves and half cent on
Others in consequence of the rise IN the
price of -four. The assigned cause is the
war in the east and the dem'nd for bread
stuffs from Russia. There is every lndi-
cation that many now living will lay down
their slaves before this sanguinary con-
aict shall have come to a close; hence the
nrospects for continued high prices are
favorable to those who are specializing
on the necessaries OF life. Meats, 'pota-
toes and other staple products are now
firm in price and there's every indication
that they. too, will not remain long al
present quotations. The acquisition Of
Porto Rico, the Philippines and the VIZ
tual control by the United States OF Cu-
ba have caused sporadic commercial ac-
tivity in this country, but that such pro-
cedures have advanced prices OF provi--
sions materially is evident. Wars ano
rnmors of war are calculated to superln'
duce more serious conditions, and the
steady advance in the essentials OF liz
is viewed with apprehension by all wh'
observe the signs Of the times.

Railroad Tax Bill Killed.

BY decision to indefinitely postpone
further consideration the House COM
mittee on roads yesterday, as stated in
the Gazette of that day, killed the
Churchman- Cation bill, which provided
that the tax on the rolling stock of rail-
roads be distributed along their lines.
Had this bill passed nearly every city
in the Commonwealth would have lost
very heavily, although Alexandra
would have been considerable gamer
The counties would have been benefited
The railroads favored the bill, preferrlng
to be taxed in the counties, where the
taxes are much lighter.
Mr.. Cation, it is said, will try to ge
the matter before the House for actor
by that body. The committee declde'
that the bill was unconstitutional.

Measurer of Lumber Protests.

meabUreF VI LuihDCi hONCoeS'
Mr.. s. G. Swain, who was recently
elected by the City Council to fill the
unexpired term of the late James L..
Adams as Measurer of Lumber, COM
planned this morning to Justice Cation
that since his election lumber dealers
had had lumber measured by certain
parties in their employ; hence the office
was sort of barmecide feast, so far as
the income from it was concerned. He
desired to have his powers and privileges
defined as soon as possible. Mr.. Cation
listened to his statement and announced
that he would reserve his decision until
tomorrow. This vexed question was
raised in 1896 and was temporarily lulled
by a compromise. 1t was contended by
some dealers at that time that the once
of measurer or inspector OF LUMBER was
useless from the fact that lumber was
purchased by the vessel load at southern
points and those to whom 1t was conslgn-
ed were perfectly satisfied with the state
msnts sent by shippers, and the payment
of fees to inspectors or measurers here
was a useless waste of money, as often
no service was rendered, the lumber BE-
ing "passed" without measurement.
Other dealers, however, had no objection
to the law creating the measurer and
paid the amounts charged upon their
receipts. Those who objected, however,
announced their intention of resisting
the law and making test case of it be-
fore An appelate court.

The ice in the river is passing away
Most of it has been broken up and is
disintegrating daily. All the steamers
save the Washington ferryboat are run

made. it is said, to reopen the ferry line
tomorrow.
The steamer Norfolk arrived up this

of fish have been alternating in the mud
on the flats during the freeze and are
now again on the move.
Several seinehaulers with their outfits
left TODAY for the lower river. Many
fish are now being caught, but they are
not generally of the best class. Some
few rock and perch are landed, but the
catches consist mostly of catfish and {
.species which seems to be a cross between

fish.
