Moved to new office over Frederick street. .Front of The Battery. ’Phone in Office and Residence. Sentence* of Several Persons for Mi nor Offinces. It now eeefms that since the court of general sessions has been conclud ed that a word or two at least may be in order concerning what business was disposed of by tht,. body. Any thing cm the Hasty case la ancient history and would be veij much out of order when publishing a resume of of work done, as the entire history of the crime and the trial and sen tence has already appeared in our columns. The situation on other criminal business can be srarmed up in a nutshell: there was not a single acquittal. We havei already publish ed an account of what befell most of those that appeared before the bar of jusMcei, with the exception of the cases against Rufus Byars and O. B. Tate, who were found guilty of as sault, we have handled the verdicts and sentences of those pronounced guilty (and they were several.) Both Tate and Byars paid fines. Thomas Postell. Pryor Scruggs, Clarence Sar- ratti and Calvin Guyton have been sent to the chain gang to serve terms. The cases against Madison Cook, white, for the murder of James Byars, and Ed. Rainey, colored, for the murder of a negro girl, were con tinued until next court. John Dennis Mehan’s Success. The following, taken from The Mu sical Courier, published in New York, will be of interest to Ledger read ers because of the very compliment ary reference to Miss Lillian Wood, of this city, whom everybody knows and loves because of her charming graces: “As a tree is known by its fruit, so is a teacher known by his pupils. Judged by this criterion, John Den nis Mehan holds an enviable position among the successful teachers of New York. The many singers whom he has trained reveal the excellence of his method. “Genuine contraltos are rare. In this category unquestionably belongs Mrs. Maurice Macfarlane, a member of the Detroit Tuesday Musical So ciety, whose singing has attracted at tention and elicited glowing compli ments. She is one of Mr. Mahan’s pupilrf. “Blanche Yewell,' of Washington, D. C., is another contralto who pos sesses an excellent voice. She, too, is studying with Mr. Mehan. “Eva Emmett Wycoff a Chicago soprano, has been doing most, com mendable work in concer's and re citals. "Lillian Wood, of Gaffney. S. C.; Colon White, tenor, Richmond, Va., and Dr. John Ready. Rochester, N. Y„ are singers of great promise who are studying with Mr. Mehan and are exponents of his admirable method. “Mr. Mehan is undoubtedly one of the busiest as well as one of the most successful of the singin teachers of New York.” Barlow & Wilson’s Minstrel Parade.

Merchants Grocery Company to Build. The sound of saw and hammer can be heard on Frederick street and grows louder, giving out added sounds of proenerity day by day. The cause of it all seems to be the Merchants Grocery Company are tearing down their old store-rooms and.offices pre paratory to erecting a new and up-to- date structure on the same site. A member of the firm stated to a Led ger man Tuesday, who happened by and expressed surprise at the speedy way in which the work was being done, that) they expected to have a thoroughly modern building when completed. The building win be a three-story one, with a commodious basement. The ^round floor will con tain one store room and capacious office and store room for the* whole sale grocery business. Offices will be on the third story. The front will be modem, with plate glass and up-to- date fixtures. The site of. this com pany is one of the most b'eautiful in the city, and with the new building will show the advantages of our citv to a greater extent than heretofore. Lawrence Barlow. Among the varying styles of ne«o mimicry the work of Lawrence fllr- u>w stands out as a distinctive crea tion in comedy work. His jokes are pungent, his repartee quietly droll, his vestures full of su^ressed' fun and his every action laughable. Mr. Barlow’s style of portrayal belongs to the modern school, and is nartWil^rlv pleasing to the fastidious theatre goers, from hhe fact that he avoids any suggestion of coarseness or “horse play.” In song and story Mr. Barlow is a bubbling fount of clean, spark ling wit and melody. Peals of laugh ter invariably follow his clever sal lies; his humor is choice and -'•'niant. and of a quality which leaves his au dience hungering for more. As a clean, mirthful artist his work leaves nothing to be desired, as he has ro superior in his chosetn profession as a fun maker. Mr. Banow is the pre mier comedian in Harlow & Wilson’s Minstrels, which appear at the Star Theatre Friday, March 16th. Pastor’s Conference. In answer to Dr. Simms’ call for a meeting of tho "astors of the Broad River Association, eight of them met last Monday morning and had a pleas ant time attending to some matters of interest to the churches. The* conference will meet every three months and. in an informal wav. will talk over and plan for the work. It is believed the meeting will prove helpful to the work of the asso- ci'tion.
