The superior court of Richmond
county, Ga., has decided against a num
ber of prominent citizens who, twenty
years ago, subscribed to the capital stock
of the National Express and Transporta
tion company. A test ease was made on
Wednesday in case ofWilliam II. Howard,
a prominent and'wealthy cotton factor,
and a verdict rendered against him.
This virtually carries the other cases with
it. The verdict is regarded as a great
hardship, although in accordance with
court decisions in these cases in all states
from Maine to Texas.

A REPORTED BATTLE
! IN KENTUCKY IN WHICH SIX MEN ARE
KILLED.
A special to the Louisville Courier-
Journal from Pineville, Ky., says: News
reached here that Judge Lewis came up
with Howard aud his gang Thursday on
Martin’s Fork and killed six of the How
ard gang without losing a man. Three
of the men killed were named Hall, one
named Whitlock, the other two names
not learned. Friends of the judge say
that he is determined, aud will never
quit his chase until Howard and his gang
are all killed or driven from the country.
Both parties are being reinforced daily,
and more bloodshed is expected. It is
thought that Howard lias gone to Vir
ginia, but is expected to return. The
best citizens of Harlan county, Ky., are
joining Judge Lewis, and with such a
determined leader there is no doubt but
that tho law and order party will come
out victorious, and break up tho gang
that has been a terror to all eastern Ken
tucky lor the hist twenty-five years.
