The Cast Chorus and Orchestra Manage 10
Keep Warm In II Cold Opera House.

"Thc Smugglcrs" was rehearsed yesterday
afternoon at Ford's Opera house, with Il full
cast aud orchestra. 1t was cold, very cold,
but the performers went through their
business unmurmuringly. The twelve
beautiful young ladies who dance
the fandango and sing in the chorus had n
little the best of it, as they could move around
and keep their blood in circulation, These
dozen society bellies have been rehcarsing for
two or three weeks, and surpass the natives
in grace of movement.
The Queen of the Gypsies" Mrs. Scguin
Wallace) moved about in silk circular and
heavy gloves, and the captive maiden Miss
Paullin) managed to keep warm by actively
exercising in u fur-lincd dolman. Frank
Pearson, the basso, and George Traverner,
the tenor were mutlled in ulsters that trailcd
upon the stage. Henry Mansfield, the bari
tone, bumped his back and struggled through
his part with great vigor and in good voice
His amazing activity inspired a lovely
chorus singer to ask her companion "who
pulls the string"
Between playing every instrument in his
orchestra, humming all the airs, and trying
TO sing bass, tenor cOntralto, baritone
and soprano, and experimenting everybody
and everything, Sousa cOntrived to keep his
blood above the normal temperature. HI
was "A whole orchestra and opera combined
and IL never occurred to him that winter wa!

In spite of all drawbacks tho rehearsal
proved in every way satisfactory to those
concerned. The people are in good training

A SUNDAY TRAGEDY.
John Taylor Fatally Shoots John Clark
at ISlingIes Farm-The Coroner's In
quest--Tsylor in Custody.

John Taylor Fatally Shoots John Clark
nt klingIe's Farm-The Coroner's In
quest-TRyIor in Custody.
The farm of Mr.. J. Pierce Klingle, situated
about three miles from this city on Rock
creek, near Woodley Lane bridge, was the
scene yesterday morning of a tragedy in
which one man lost his life and another pines
in the recesses of q cell. About $50 o'clock
a oolored man named John Taylor, aged 80,
employed by Mr.. Klingle as q farm hand,
was cleaning the snow off a hog shed near his
house when John Clark, also a colored man,
aged about 30 and living near Brightwood,
came across the field in the direction of the
hog pen, and when about two yards from it
Taylor said, Halo, John" to which Clark
replied Halo, John" Taylor then drew a
pistol from his pocket, intending, he states,
to fire IL in the air, and when he was in the
act of raising IL, IL went off,"
Clark dropped his bucket and clapped his
hand to his left breast when he turned and
went into the house of Taylor, near by, and
fell to the floor, the blood flowing freely from
a wound near the left nipple. He was picked
up and laid on bench, where he expired In q
few minutes, not having spoken word after
the shooting. When Taylor saw what he had
done he Immediately proceeded to the second
precinct station and surrendered himself and
his pistol, n small thiTtyitwo caliberof cheap
pattern known as, the defender" He was
locked up and a telephone message sent to the
third precinct, in which the tragedy took
place.
The coroner was notified and together with
DIR, Hartigan proceeded to tho scene of the
shooting the prisoner being taken there by
Officer Myers. DIR. Hartigan performed an
autopsy on the body aud found that the ball
had entered the left lung, which was the
cause Of death.
The coroner swore in the following jury
Joseph N. Fifold, @. q. Myers, David Gross,
Fountain Pcyton, George Culpopper, and Al
bert Lew is, who. after hearing the testimony
which, except that of the prisoner, who was
the only witness of the shooting, was mainly
as TO thorelations of the two men, and Taylors
character, returned the verdict "that Clark
came TO his death at z o'clock a. m, April /,
at Klingle's from pistol shot wound in the
chest, accidentally inflicted at the hands OF
John Taylor"
A brother of Clark stated that Taylor and
Clark had u quarrel over some hogs, which
the former sold to the latter about month

third precinct station on n commitment from
the coroner and was locked up. This morn
