junction was fixed for trial before Judge
Cheevers, 1t chambers, last Monday, but
owing to the lateness of the hour when
the proceedings in the CheeveB case
wers closed for the day, the rule was as
signed for Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock.
When this day and hour arrived Judge
Cheevers and the local ATTORNEYS were on
hand at the Court House, together with
quite a number of citizens for whom the
anticipated proceedings possessed special
interest. Instead Of the expected trial
Of the rule aud the consequent animated
argument OF opposing counsel, however,
announcement was made that, by general
consent, the matter of the rule would he
continued indefinitely. A written agree
ment was then drawn mp and signed
by Judge Z. N. Sims, attorney for the
Town Council, District Attorney Earhart,
representing the State, and Messrs. E. N.
Pugh and Frederick Duffel, counsel for
the Police Jury, the terms Of which are
that the Sunday law injunction case
shall be tried before Judge Cheevers at
chambers next Thursday, the Goth inst,
in order that an immediate appeal may
be taken to the Supreme Court aud de-
cided at the next term of that tribunal,
to be holden in Shreveport, opening on
the second Monday Of October. The con-
clusion Of this agreement and the almost
certain prospect which it offers for de-
finitiye settlement of the controversy
over the Police Jury's Sunday ordinance
has given general satisfaction and re-
suited i'll a suspension Of the acrimonious
discussions and feeling which the meas
ure has heretofore excited.
It was reported, and seems to be quite
q general impression about town, that
under this agreement tho merchants of
Donaldsunvi1le will be at liberty to keep
their establishments open OH Sundays
without fear of mourning the penalty
prescribed for violations u the 0rli-
nance. The agreement does not include
such a contingency and no reference
thereunto is made in the document. 1t
is thought the Police Jury will suspend
tie operations Of the ordinance until the
decision Of the Supreme Court is rem
dered, but until this is done merchants
doing business on Sunday will be just as
liable to prosecution as heretofore. We
understand that no further arrests of
those contravening the ordinance will
be made, however, as such proceeding
will not be essential to prosecution for
every infraction at the next term of
the District Court.
In common with all who are Interested
in the matter the CHIEF rejoices that an
early adjustment thereof is promised,
based on the decision of the highest ju-
dicial authority i'll the State.

The Burnside nine was weakened by
the absence of two Of its best members,
but we do not mention this to detract in
any measure from the credit due to the
lively and energetic young Grasshoppers
for their well-earned victory. Messrs.
Pinel and Clayerie of the Grasshoppcr
nine distinguished themselves especially
by good playing in the positions Of
catcher and centre fielder respectively,
while the remaining members were up
to their usual good standard.
The game between the Quicksteps
of New Orleans and the Burnsides of
Donaldsonville, on the tapis for to-mor-

An interesting question of official ten
ure has arisen with regard to the new
Justice Court created by Acting Govern
OF McEnery's appointment of r. J. Green,
Esq, as an additional Justice of the
Peace for the Justice ward comprising
the town of charlottesville. A few days
ago tho acting Governor issued an order
recalling and revoking the commission
issued to Dir. Green, but the latter, hav-
ing consulted q leading attorney, takes
tho position that the revocation is illegal
and that he can only be displaced by the
mandate Of a superior court or of the
General Assembly. Justice Dennis But
Ter, who was elected by the voters of the
ward last December, gives public notice
Of the annulment Of Squire Green's COM
mission, and a proceeding against the
latter under the intnEzion in office act is
expected. The contest over this matter
promises to be one Of considerable inter-
est.

the very lowest prices. The assortment

an average of 3OSM lbs. each.
On Tuesday Mr.. Joseph A. Coale, butcher,
killed two fine hogs for Mr., VIM. II. Stagmer, of
