ROME GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER.2O 1894.
THE CEDARTOWN BANK.
Cases of Capt. A. W. & Hurley Bal
lew are set.
This in Tiling’s Constitution con - ;
tains the following it. ms of inter
est" to the people of this section '•
The Cedartown bank was brought
into court yesterday morning.
In the clerk’s office at the federu
al building yesterday morning an
application was filed by Martin S.
Lynch, receiver for the Erst Nati' i»
al bank o f Cedartown, Ga., asking
for an order from the court to sell
the assets of the bank.
A provisional order was granted!
by'Judge Newman, directing the
officers, directors, stockholders and
persons interested in the bank to
appear before him on the 6th of
October and show cause, if any
might exist, why the order should,
not be granted, as prayed for ini
the application.
It was also directed by Judge
Newman that copies of the order
be served on Messrs. C. “L. Hard
wick, Ivy F. Thompson, J. 0. Hard
wick, J. E. Good, J. R. Barker, J.
A. Peek, G. G. Leake and Judson
Crab, directors and officers in the
bank.
The investigation of the batik’s
trouble, as will appear from the
testimony before Judge Newman
at the time of the hearing will n©
doubt be interesting.
NEXT MONDAY WEEK.
The fall term of the United State
court will convene on the first Mon
day in October.
An interesting case has been set
fortrial on that day. It is the
case of the United States against
A W. and Hurley Ballew, charg
ed with violation of the pension
law.
It is claim that A W, Ballew,
as a collector of pensions appro
priated tohisownuse the greater
part of a sum o f money collected
for his client,who was an ignorant
negro woman.
The son, Hurley Ballew, is also
implicated by the charge in the
transaction. It is possible, when
the case conies to a trial, that a
strong defense will be made again
st the charge, but! from a reading
of the declaration it would seem
that a very ugly case is going to
be aired.
Two days will be occupied in the
trial of the two Ballews.
There will be no session of the
court on Wednesday, as it happens
to be election day.
On Thursday, however, the court
will reassemble and address itself
to the woes of the moonshiner.
The business of the court will
then proceed without interruption.
The present or March term of
the court adjourns on next Satur
day-

ON SEA AND LAND
The Civilized Japs are Licking the

A GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
|ln which 1,500 Ch'nees and
About 1,000 Japs Were
Slain, is Reported. Four
Chinese War Ships
go to Bottom
London, Sept, 20.—A dispatch
to the Central News from Shang
hai dated September 19th, mid
night. says:
‘‘A number of officers who were
engaged in the naval battle on the
Yalu river have arrived at Port
Arthur with half a dozen warships
badly damaged and filled with
wounded men.”
■ I
The dispatch says also that the
Chinese Admiral Ting’s fleet left
port on Friday evening to convey
seven stream transports conveying
a large force of troops. A number
of Europeans in the services of the
Chinese admiralty accompanied
the troops, which were to be land
ed near Wipi from which point
they were to be sent to the front.
These troops comprised some ar
tillery, but were mostly composed
of infantry.
Nothing was seen of the enemy
until the Chinese fleet reached the
mouth of the Yalu river, when a
fleet of Japanese warships was
sighted. Thereupon the transports
were hurried forward and the war
ships were cleared for action.
The efforts of the transports to
land the troops were succesful and
most of them were gotten ashore
before the naval battle began.
The Chen-Yuen was the first
vessel to open fire and was soon
engaged with two Japanese war
ships of about the same size, one
of which is supposed to have been
the cruisers Chiyoda. Soon all of
the vessels of both fleet were en
gaged.
The Chinese cruisers Chen-Yuen
and King-Huen were sunk, and
600 officers and men on board of
them were drowned. Only a few
of the men struggling in the water
were picked up.
The Chao-Yung and Yang-Wei,
jn maneuvering for more advan.
tageous positions, got into shallow
water and run aground.
The stranded vessels were help
less under the lire of the big guns
of the Japanese ships and were
finallyset on fire by the enemy’s
shells and became wrecks
It is feared tnat some of the
transports were sunk, including
one whoso troops had not yet been
landed. The Chinese loss is esti
mated at 1.500 killed and wounded,
and the Japanese loss is supposed
to be 1,000, but none of the Chi
nese officers giving accounts of the
battle know the names or size of
the four vessels of the enemy
which are alleged to have bee nde
stroyed.
Taking the Chinese view of the
battle it is plain that the encoun
ter has resulted in seriously crip
pling the naval strength of China.
