The day was opened propitiously by
instructions OF two California National
Banks-the FIRST OF San Bernardino,
and the HrSt of Santa Anna-to reopen
their doors for business. The cOmptroli-
or also received notice that the Second
National Bank of Ashland, KY, which
closed its doors June %, reopened for
business on July 10, having complied
with thereQuirements Of the law.
Reports received from nearly all the
National banks in New York City show
them TO be in excellent condition, not

have been made on them. A statement
OF the condition Of the Brooklyn Ma
tional banks on July -, under the call

A REPORTED BATTLE

Between Virginia Militia aud Outlaws IN
Wise County-Oenied from Richmond.
Spseai TslssrGm 10 the Register.
ASHLAND, KY, July Collaboration
has been received in this city OF a ter
ribe and bloody fight in Wise county,
Virginia, on Wednesday.
For several months the Virginia off,
GERS have wanted the Flemons boys
very bad. The boys, four in
number, are wanted on account
OF participation in q triple murder
some months since. Doc Taylor, one
OF the gang, was captured and hung for
the crime, but the FlemOns boys have
so far evaded arrest. Two weeks or
more ago Governor McKinnie, OF Vir-
ginia, sent company Of soldiers to as
sist the sheriff Of Wise county in ar
resting the outlaws.
On Wednesday the militia overlook
the outlaws, when bloody battle en-
sued.
The result OF the fight is that four OF
the bluecoatS were instantly killed and
six more mortally wounded. Calvin
Flemon, one OF the outlaws, was shot
through the body three times, and
is reported to be in a dangerous con-
dition. The deperadoes fed to the
mountains soon after the fight, and are
now thought to be in hiding together
with ten or twelve boon companions
picked up in the mountains OF
that section. A large number
of people, sympathizers Of the
Flemons boys are hocking to the
scene Of the tragedy, and 1t is feared
that further trouble will occur between
the civilians and militia. The exact
place where the fugives are could moi
be ascertained, as the distance Is sixty
or seventy miles from Pikesville, KY,
the nearest town. The Flemons boys
and their gang have been a scourge tC
the citizens Of Pike county, in Ken
lucky, and the West Virginia borders
for many years. They are known to bt
desperate men who are determined, a.
the result Of the fight showed.
