The third annual festival or the
Grand Rapids Oratorio society will be-
gn IN Hartman hall this evening and
wall continue tomorrow afternoon and
evening. La the three programs to be
presented Is found music generally con-
sidered beyond the range of a local or
amateur musical society. But the Ora
torios have been ambitious and have
progressed from the day of their or
ganization. Its evident, judging from
the nnal rehearsal for the present festi-
val, which was held IN Hartman hall
last evening. that they will accomplish
greater results and win even firmer
hold IN the confidence and admiration
of the hundreds OF Grand Rapids peo-
pie VINO have attended these annual
concerts.
Director Morehead was on hand last
night, and judging from the spirited
manner IN which ne moved his baton
over the enlarged orchestra and great
chorus. which completely fills the large
stage, his enthusiasm was unbounded.
lie IS indeed his greatest undertaking
since he has been a resident here. A
glance over the numbers viii convey
some idea OF the time and patience which
must have been required IN prepare
ton; in fact, the Oratorlos have been
industriously engaged for months. 1t
Is TO be hoped that the patronage Will
he such as TO cause ali participants To
feel amply repaid and rewarded for
their efforts.
Pride of Grand Rapids
Another feature in each concert will
be the appearance Of that superb organ
ization, the pride of Grand Rapids,
Wurzburg < Bronson's military band
which has been augmented to thirty
pieces, They viii render some of the
mysterious movements and flights of
Rossini. Wagner, Beethoven and Meyer
beer, while the lighter fancies will be
pleased with strauss waltzes, polkas and
popular descriptive arrangements. The
the choruses and Haydn's Creation"
and Mozarts Twelfth Mass" to be sung
by the Oratorios and soloists will be
supported by an orchestra OF twenty
eight pieces. The hall will surely re-
sound with joyous and swelling song
and harmony. The distinguished SOLO
lists who vii take part are Mrs. ). c.
Ford, soprano, Mrs. Katharine Fisk,
consralto, Henry +. Stowe. tenor
and Arthur Beresford basso.
Grand Rapids and its ardent devotees to
the divinest of the the arts, have
boosted of the growing interest and ad-
vancement IN musical culture. and
there has not occurred to demonstrate
so impressIvely the justification for
such clam, as this May musical festi.

shell on the head of the impudent look
ing negro, but no impression was made
on his features.
The jury was out only short time,
and when they came in brought q YER
dict of ten years in tho penitentiary.
Mr.. Hartwell moved to set aside the
verdict and grant new trial, but the
motion was overruled by Judge Rob-
ertson, who said the prisoner should
have had eighteen years. He was very
lucky to get off with ten years.
The judge then asked the accused it
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. Ewell at
once arose and protested his innocence
and said 1t was only made up plot
against him. He wanted a new trial
The judge then sentenced him to ten
years in tho penitentiary. and remanded
him to Jail to await the adjournment of

the person of William Lanier and sew
eral others.
