The Singer. The first meeting of the different choirs of the citv, who .are to take part in the Pearson revival meetings. was held at the lecture room of the First Presbyterian Church last night. There were about 23 ladies and gen tlemen present, and after some pre luninary conversation . the singers were arranged around the organ with Prof. VanLaer as conductor. and Miss Anna Sprunt as organist and severM tunes, were sung. The selections were from Gospel Hymns, and they were sung with fine effect. The next meeting will be at the same place at half-past 7 o'clock, sharp, next Tuesday night, when it is hoped that. all singers who take an interest in the proposed meetings will be present and will bring a eopy of the Gospel Hymns with them. Steps were taken lost night" to se cure a supply of these hymns which will be here in a few days, for the use of those who wish to sing and have no copies. ' City Conrt. David Bryant, colored, furnished the first case for the Mayor's con sideration this morning. The de fendant was charged with throwing rocks in the streets, and as the charge was sustained, he was re quired to pay a fine of $10 or work 20 days in the chain gang. Samuel Wilkins, for being drunk and disorderly, was fined $20, with the alternative of 30 clay's imprison merit. Mack Winberry for attempting to rescue a prisoner who was in charge of an officer, was fined $10, with the alternative of 20 days in the city prison. Willie Robinson, Cornelius Blood- worth and J. Franklin Evans, three colored boys, charged with vagran cy, were lined $."i each with the al ternativc of five davs in the citv prison. Wesley EvanSy colored, cruelty to animals. Bound oyer to the next term of the Criminal Court in the sum of $50. E. A. Feely, disorderly conduct. The testimony showed that the de fendant had visited several families t in the city, claiming that he was a physician, and had asked for any cases of rheumatism or neuralgia, which he treats as specialties. His manner had been otherwise harmless although he was frequently in an excited condition. In explanation of his conduct, the defendant gave abundant evidence of intelligence, and education, but was evidently cranky. His case was held under advisement for the present. .
