The Case of Loughlin.

The case against P. J. Loughlin charged with violating .the Sunday law" was | called before Mayor Mcleod this morn ing and was continued until next Monday l morning at 10 o'clock.
 1t Is generally understood and on good authority that the trial of the cause was postponed In order that City Attorney w. R. Shafer, who Is in Montgomery might be present to testify in regard to the passage of the ordinance which Mir Loughlin is alleged to have violated.
 The ordinance in question as originally drawn provided that it was unlawful for the proprietor of a liquor house whether wholesale or retail to enter the place on Sunday except upon business for himself and that he should not be accompanied by any person except officers of the law The ordinance also required that en- ployes and clerks of the proprietor should not enter the place even unaccompanied.
 As the ordinance now stands. however, the word proprietor or dealer" is scratched out and it will be determined by the court whether the word was scratched out before or after the passage of the ordinance.
 The general opinion is that If the word was scratched out before the passage of the ordinance Mir. Loughlin is not guilty: and that If the word was stricken out af- ter the passage of the ordinance Mr. Ioughlin Is guilty of violation of the law.
 In addition to City Attorney shafer all members of the City Council. it is under stood. will'be called upon to testify upon the wording of the ordinance as passed by the Council The fact that a word was scratched out of the original paper and the general impression prevailing that the ordinance had made illegal what MT. Loughlin Is said to have done, have caused much talk and the testimony of the Council will doubtless be heard with interest.
 It is rumored on the streets today that Mir. Loughlin would sue M. Leva who swore out the warrant against him for damages in large sum. Mfr Loughlir stated this afternoon that he had said nothing to justify such a rumor.

 to Jurisdiction.

Washington. Jan 2s-The State Depart ment has received a cablegram from ex- Minister Hunter at Guatemala City, ask ing if the Cnited States valves the right of immunity in case of his son, who is under trial there for killing Fitzgerald.

HUNTSVILLE CAMPAIGN.
Four Candidates for Mayor are Al
 ready in the Field.

Huntsville, Jan. 2s.-(SpeciaD--The ap- preaching municipal campaign is already exciting a great deal of interest and so far there are four announced car Iidates for Mayor. They are Alderman R. L. ONeal, publisher of The Daily Mercury; Thomas W. Smith, carriage manufacturer; Jere c. King, attorney; w. J. Mastin, planter. The saloon men have lined up their forces and will endeavor to secure the election of MT. Smith and this ac- tion has aroused the temperance people who may inject an anti-saloon issue into the campaiwn. The Anti-Saloon League has so far failed to endorse either of the three opposing candidates and if no agree emnt can be reached in this respect they will probably bring out man of their own. Four Aldermen will also be elected
 in the April election.
