Alvey Coulter Dead.

Alvey Coulter. aged 25 years, one of the
best known young men in the city, died
last night at o'clock at the family resi-
dence on First street. Mr.. Coulter was
taken i'll with pneumonia less than week
ago. The deceased was very popular and
his death has cast groom over the en-
tire city.
The funeral took place from Mr.. Coul-
ter's late residence this evening at 6
o clock and the remains were carried to
his former home at Colma, Mich, for
interment lie was a prominent member
of the Knights of Maccabees and member
of Model tent No. II accompanied the
remains to Birmingham.
The death of Mr.. Coulter was rather
pathetic. He was a brick mason and had
been at work at Ensley. Last Saturday
evening he was overcome by the heat
and forced to quit work. He dropped
off to sleep and late in the evening some
one playfullly turned the hose on him.
The cold water caused him to contract
pneumonia, from which malady he died.

not be called together until next week
As to what action the committee will
take is not known. as they have not

however, stated today that he would be

FCASE GOES OVER
UNTIL OCTOBER
Test of the Morrow Court Act
Postponed
DUE TO JUDGE COLEMAN
Decides That He Cannot Have Proceed
nqs Instituted BY Bessemer Bar
Because Court Is Not
In Session.
DUE TO JUDGE COLEMAN

Ressemer. August 27.-(Special.)-Owing
M the decision of Judge A. A. Coleman
of the circuit court that he could not
hear the mandamus proceedings Instituted
by members of the Bessemer bar TO test
the constitutionality of the Morrow court
act, the case will have to go over until
October.
The test case was in the form of man
damus proceedings instituted ex parte M.
III. Fitzpatrick against Clerk Ed Dudley
of the Bessemer city court, to force tie
clerk to give him wrts of transfer III
certain civil cases from the Bessemer to
the Birmingham court. The clerk declin-
ed to furnish the papers on grounds that
the Morrow act, providing for the re-
moval of the cases. is unconstitutional.
Application was then made by the plain
tiff to Judge Coleman for writ of man.
damus to compel the clerk to remove
the cause and furnish the papers.
Judge Coleman set this morning az the
date for hearing the petition but after
the counsel on both sides had assembled
the Judge informed them that he would
have to refuse to hear the case on
grounds that his court was not in session.
After conference by the attorneys it
was decided to set October as the date
for the hearing.
The relator was represented by S. P.
King and the respondent by Pinkey Scott
w. X. Smith and w. f. Porter.
The ground on which the bill is being
tested is the lack of sufficient proof of
advertisement. The act was a local one
and it is being contended by the BESSIE
mer bar that the proof of advertisement
was not full enough.
The bill was tested before the supreme
court last winter on the grounds that
transferring the cases from Bessemer to
Birmingham was a change of venue.
