Stairway Concert Hall.

Messrs. Steinway a. Sons have now def
nitely decided that their beautiful auC
famous music hall, the admiration of artists
and audiences, and unequaled for it!
acoustic qualities, is to cease as such after
The coming May l.
The principal reason for this step may be
found in the fact that the firms bushes;
has increased enormously, and to such al
extent that the Steinway buildings, al
though covering eight full city lots, were
found TO be totally inadequate to furnish
the necessary room.
Four new stories, each rs feet wide by 70:
feet deep, will be CONSTRUCTED within the
space of the vast music hall, and two adj
dItioual stories will be erected thereon, all
to be used for reaulatIng, finishing and
show rooms. The small hall, fronting on
East Fourteenth street and seating COM
fortably 400 persons, will be retained for
piano recitals, etc.
However, the hall per Sc will soon be
part of history only, and while we regret
losing it, we must congratulate the house
whose commercial requirements make il
imperative TO invade tie precincts of Apollo
and the MUSES. upon the great develop
ment of their remarkable business-a bust
ness such as can find no duplicate of its
kind on the face of the globe. Musicdi

ROBBED A SCHOONER.

Constable Coleman's Lively Chase
After a Thieving Boat Hand
Daniel Mcpherson (colored) was arrested
yesterday by Constable Coleman upon a
warrant issued in Justice McDermotts
office by Capt. Sickles Of the schooner Vine
yard, charging Mcpherson with larceny on
the ship. When the officer went aboard
the schooner to arrest the negro, McPher-
son jumped off on the wharf and ran
through Collins fields toward the Bilbo
canal. The constable chased the negro and
fired two shots at him to Tighten bin and
make him stop, but Mcpherson ran the
faster He got hemmed in at the canal and
the cons able arrested him and lodged him
in Jail.
Capt. Sickles said that Mcpherson stole
candy, crackers, white meat and other
stuff i'll the cargo. He d d the stealing at
Riceboro last Sunday. Immediately after
the landing Of the schooner here, the war
rant was issued and nobody was allowed to
get off the vessel until the officer came.
Mcpherson stoutly denied the charge.

THE ExLEY INJUNCTION CASE.
A Legal WranRle Over the Bay Street
Extension.

The Exley injunction suit against the
county commissioners to enjoin the latter
from prosecuting the work of building the
Bay street extension across the lands OF the
plaintiff occupied the entire afternoon ses-
sion Of the superior court yesterday, and it
was nearly 5 o'clock last night when the
argument was concluded.
Judge Falligant took the raPers and said
that he would examine the record carefully
before rendering a decision.
I. p. Ravenel presented the case for plain
tiff in a lengthy argument, in which he
cited a long list of authorities. He was fol.
lowed by J. r. Saussy, representing the
commissioners, and Hon. w. G.. Charlton
closed for the plaintiff.
The defense claimed that due and legal
notice had been served on Mr.. Exley that
the road had been laid out, and he was
notified after he had declined to entertain u
proposition for an amicable settlement for
the land required for the road that the
commissioners int anded TO build it, and to
put in any claim for damages that might
arise within the limit prescribed by statute
which he failed to dc. IL was also argued
that che proper remedy had been invoked.
and that an injunction does not lie.
the plaintiffs counsel denied that the
commissioners had proceeded regularly at
any step; that no order of condemnation is
Of record, and that there was and is no
Judgment to certioran from, but that on
the contrary. fences had been torn down
and the work of grading prosecuted at a
time when the county commissioners did
not know where the western line of the city
is, and therefore the road had not been laid
out as claimed.

THE WORK OF A YEAR.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREAT
FIRE OF APRIL, 1889.

The Eurnt Dlstrics Already Covered
With Buildings Double the Value OF
Thoss WHOA They Replace-Half a
Million Dollars of improvements
Already Completed and in Progress.
A year ago last night q. gas jet blazed up
in the show window Of Daniel Hogan's dry
goods store a BrOughton and Barnard
streets, as the lights were being turaed on
at the dusk Of evening, and strong north
west wind blowing gale famed the little
flame into general conhsgration, which
will never be forgotten by those who saw it.
By that fire $500, 900 worth of property
was swept away Handsome stores, with
their crowded shelves Of goods, just laid in
for the spring trade, added fuel TO the
flames, which the wind carried southwark
and westward, until the Odd Fellows hall,
the Guards handsome arsenal, aud the In
dependent Presbyterian church, and many
residences, were fired and went down in the
general ruin.
THE WORK OF YEAR.
year ago this Sunday morning black
ened and smoking ruins marked the scene
of the confagralion OF the night before. 1t
was most discouraging time, but the
people we're not content to sit
dowa aud mourn over their ,nisfortunes
ana although but year has elapsed since
the fire, the burned district has been mar
rowed, and the work of rebuilding has
| progressed SO that the value of
buildings thus far erected is nearly double
the value of those which they have re-
placed, and there is every reason to believe
that before another year no vestige of the
fire will be discernible.
HANDSOME STRUCTURES BUILT.
Since box IA rang out the knell of nearly
Sl.OOO, 600 worth of property in the burned
| district handsome and more commodious
storehouses of modern architecture and
nnlsn have taken the place of less attractive
and less commodious structures.
The Odd Fellows building is nearly conn.,
pletsd and is d much more imposing edifice,
| and in construction will be a much more
secure and valuable building for the pur-
| poses for which it is intended.
Work on the Indep .ndent Presbyterian
church Is in progress, and it is to bs in ap-
pearance, as it is in design. like the ven
cradle ediice which was destroyed, but it
will be fire proof and surmounted by an
| iron spire, so that it may escape destruction
in the way it met its fate before.
Many stores have been enlarged,
and it Is estimated that the
buildings already put up and
| now In construction, wnen completed,
will have cost not less that s400,O00 CT
$3.50, 900 more than the cost of the buildings
which they replace.
CLOSE TO HALF A MILLION
The following approximate estimate of
the buildings erected thus far and the indie.
pendent Presbyterian church, and Odd Eel
lows building now being erected, will give
| some idea Of the improvement in the burned
| district.
