 In the center of the Stadium arena, and cast in bold relief by the powerful light of two search lamps stood Sousa, and his wonderful band. With soft ca dence and then with glorious volume came floating from the bandstand an air from Carmen. The musicians seem ed inspired. The audience was in that hush of suspense that comes before the widest applause.
 Suddenly music was heard in the darkness at the east of the stadium.

BODY FOUND ON TRAIN
ROBERT WRIGHT KILLED WHILE
 BEATING WAY.
Pennsylvania Laborer Discovered in Unconscious Condition on Roof of Pullman Car-Died at
 Montgomery Hospital

While beating his way on Louis vile and Nashville passenger train yesterday morning, Robert Wright. white man from Pennsylvania, was so severely injured that he died at the Montgomery Infirmary.
 Coming down hill near Letohatchie Engineer Albert Mason of train No. yesterday morning glanced back out of his cab window as he was rounding a curve and saw on top of one Of the rear Pullman cars the body of man stretched out appaIently dead. AS soon as possible the train was brought to a standstill, and Conductor Haralson and the train crew went back to the sleeping car to investigate. The sight that met their eyes was horrible one Stretched on top of the car was man whose body was most terribly mutt lated and so covered with cinders and ulrt that it was difficult to ascertain whether he was a negro or white man. He had evidently been struck by an overhead bridge, his nose being torn off. both eyes knocked out and his brains were oozinG from great RdSn III HIS Hedu. 1US Poot "N@~ lifted down and carried to the baggage cai where he was made as comfort able as possible.
 On reaching Montgomery the local surgeon of the Louisville and Nashville Company met the train and had the unfortunate man put into an ambulance and carried to the City 1nfirmary on South Perry Street. Everything pos sible was done for him. but he was far beyond the reach of any medical or surgical skill and breathed his last at ? o'clock in the afternoon.
 The only paper of any kind that was found on his person was certificate of membership in d labor union of New Orleans, his name being given as Rob- ert Wright of Pennsylvania. Nothing has been heard from the relatives or friends of the dead man in Pennsylva- nia and the body will be buried by the railroad this morning unless some thing is heard from his friends.

TEN YEARS FOR TIMOTHY
NEGRO CONVICTED OF MURDER
 OF A WOMAN.
Case Was Reversed by, Supreme Court and Former Verdict is Repeated-other News
 of the Courts. s.o

After being out for thirty minutes the jury trying the case of Charles Timo- thy, charged with the murder of Daisy Taylor brought in a verdict at o'clock last night of guilty of murder in the second degree and fixed the punishment at ten years in the penitentiary. When this case was tried in the City Court last year. the defendant was found guilty of the same offence and sentenced to the same number of years m the penitentiary. His case was ap- pealed to the Supreme Court. which court reversed anu remanded the case back to the City Court. Last year Timothy was in a room with Daisy Taylor on the Taylor place, about six miles from the city. A pistol shot was heard and shorIy afterwards Timothy came out of the room and an- nounced to those who ran up, attracted by the pistol shots. that Daisy Taylor had accidentally shot herself. On in- vestigation it was ascertained that the negress had been shot through the temple with bullet from revolver. She lived only a short while. Timothy was captured by deputy sheriffs and lodged in jail and at two trials re- ceived the same sentence.
 Solicitor Lomax appeared in Court yesterday and prosecuted the Timothy case.
 The following other cases were dis posed of in the City Court yesterday:
 Minerva Washington, abusive lan- guage. guilty, fined $1.
 Sam Smith, assault and battery, plea of guilty. fined $5.
 Will Springer, burglary, demurrer to the indictment sustained and the de- fendant ordered held to answer new indictment. Springer is charged with breaking into the store of w. A. May on Dexter Avenue. It was contended by counsel for the defense that the indictment did not allege that he en- tered the place with felouious intent to steal. He demurred to 1t on this ground and the demurrer was sus- tained.

DAFFoDIL LAND.
A New York Artiss.. Descrip tho. Of
the Charsas Of the Sicily
IslAAAa.


A letter written by New York artist
who is painting there gives an enthusi-
astic description Of the Scilly islands,
which have, so far, been comparatively
unknown to American tourists. Even
the English have been slow in realizing
the charm of the islands SO near their
own shores, but 1t seems that this
spring many artists have gone to ''dnf-
fodil land" and the winter exhibitions
will probably be flooded with pictures
of the islands. Daffodils have always
grown in great profusion in the Scilly
islands. February and March are the
height Of their blossoming time, and,
to quote the artists letter:
"The whole land is q blazing sea of
brilliant yellow daffodils, surging up
upon gray rocks and falling back in
foambursts of white narcissus. Even
the tulip fields in Holland don't give
such gorgeous effects of color. You
should stand on one OF the little hills
here and look across the sunlit fields II
you want TO see the loveliest things In
the world; yet, sometimes think the
fiower-drlfted land il more beautiful
under moonlight than In the daytime;
and, daytime or nighttime. the air IL
scented q though II blew straight from
Araby the blest.''

MATCHMAKING IN JAPAN.
The NakoAa, or MiAwo.a., oft..
EnDfo1sA II Awake. the Ten.
der Passion.

There exists in Japan. among some of
the classes. certain custom of hiring q
midwoman, nakoda, or professional
matchmaker, in order to make an en-
gagement between a couple, writes
Onoto Wntanna in the April Ladies'
Home Journal. 1t often happens that
family will desire IN alliance with an
other family with whom they arc not
intimately acquainted. Then are the
services of the professional match-
maker invaluable. To be successful in
such q profession one must never be
known MS such to the family she de.
sires to court. Very often nakodas and
midwomen follow this profession for
years and yet ore not known as such
save to those who have employed them.
Most of the. matchInnkers are very hon.
est, and It is their duty to discover oil
the good and bad points of the couple
nnd point them out to the parents: they
give good advice and do everything pos
sible to promote the happiness of the
pair. They travel back and forth to the
homes of the young people. who are
entirely ignorant of their motive, car
rying compliments and presents and
trying in q delicate manner to work ON
their sentiment.

surgeon Of one of the hospitals, "at

In support Of his statement he cited
variouscuses where pres,imeuts. proph-
ecies. Premonitions and general
nervousness all played their part.
Some years ago four criminals. con
demned in Russia TO die. were taken to
house and shown several beds. in
which. they were told. Il certain humble
of cholera patients had died. In reality.
the beds had never been slept in. They
were informed tim, they would be set

nights in the beds. They one and all
decided TO take the chances. At the
end of the time prescribed Two were UNI
injured and went free, but the others
