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- A DUEL TO THE DEATH, Each was Stabbed From Twenty to Thirty Times. Dublin, Ga., Sept 20.

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.
