Through the influence of friends, on the Goth
of March last G. f. Marker, about twenty eight
years of age, secured position as probationary
mail clerk on the vandalia route. His three
months Of probation did not prove satisfactory,
on account of drinking habits. Saturday night,
at the Union Depot, he drank great deal, and
on Sunday morning he went to his car with the
intention of going on the regular to Terre
Haute. About IL o'clock he was found there,
feeling very badly from the effects of his spree,
and in no condition to work. The chief clerk
Of the railway mail service. f. W.Vail, relieved
him. He went direct from the depot to the
house of Mrs. Mckenzie, No 40North Mississippi

to be in great trouble, and said to her, II will

it vacant. AS she went to the kitchen Marker

THE MEXICAN BAND CONCERT.
reflections.

Not far from three thousand people enjoyed
the rare entertainment afforded by the Mexican
band at the Exposition grounds last night. Had
would have been fully five thousand
who would have listened with more
comfort, possibly, but not with more enthusiastic
pleasure, to the rich and varied programme pre-
sented. The band is as nearly perfect musical
organization as can be imagined. Har.
monously balanced in all parts, il
moves with the symmetrical action
and effect of thoroughly drilled
orchestra. The most delicate shading was Civ
en- in such numbers as the mosaic from ''Trova
tore and the selections from s'Sonnambula while
in the William Tell overture, the mazurka and
the schottische the full effect of seventy two
tremendously correlated wind instruments
was realized. Never has the brilliant
Tell overture been more brilliantly rendered
and its variant melodies evoked the liveliest APP
plause and gave an earnest of the treat that
followed throughout all the twelve numbers
Probably the variations from "Sonnambula," with
clarinet solo by Lieutenant Gaarza was
the finest number, unsteady speaking though
not the most popular; these were the opening
overture, and the anvil chorus and "Miserere'
from ''Trovatore," while the most pleasing were
the unique Mexican and Spanish selections, in
which the castanet played a prominent
part. The cornet solo by Lieutenant Paris and
the Dicolo solo by Ballardo worthy special
mention, as well as the serenade song of Boccac
clio by the entire band. A word should also be
said for the quiet, yet effective, direction of Cap
tain Payen, who also played the first cornet as
thorough artist Nothing finer was heard
than his obgato in tie "Miserere.'
The concert was SPLENDID entertainments
-one that will be long remembered No wonder
that the band was the great attraction at the
New Orleans exposttosS, 1t ranks with the
French band in numbers aud perfection, while it
Is much larger and finer organization than the
Saxony band, whose Performance some years ago
will be recalled with so much pleasure.
