The battle was fought on May 81,
1904, and was brought on by n move
mcnt on the part Of the Fourth corps,
commanded by Gen. o. o. Howard, TO

take their position in reverse.
The confederate force consisted Of
Clcbrrne's infantry division aud Wheel
crs dismounted cavalry division. They
were intrcnched along the crest Of a
low ridge about two miles west of the
town Of Dallas, Ga
The attacking force comprised four
brlgadcs, each composed OF from seven
10 nine full regiments, thus aggregat-
ing the numerical strength OF three
ordinary divisions The attack, In.
stead OF being made in column accord
ing to the slSlllmlly devised plan Of the
corps commander the brigadcs moving
within easy supporting distance, was a
series Of detached assaults, the
brigade that opened the battle being
unsupported, and each advancing at
long intervals after the other was
driven back
The brigade Of Gen. w H. Ilazeu, IN
ideal soldier aud the true hero OF tho
battles OF Stone river and Mission
Ridge, advanced first to the assault.

 Two Important Decisions Handed
 Down by the Courts of Appeals.
 NEW YORK. Feb. 9.-The court of sp. psals this morning handed dosn an order reversing the decisions of the general and special terms in the case of People vs. Edi- son General Electric company. This decision Is important, n ot only as affecting g large sum of money, but in the principle which 1t involves. The case was as follows:
 In 1899 the Edison General Electric com pany brought suit to set aside their assess- msnt for taxation. In the lists they were appraised as being worth a, 670, TOO, and the tax was levied on that amount They set up claim that their chief assets con- | sisted of patent rights and other non-tsxa- ble property, asserting that their tangible assets were lees than their liabilities, SC they really had no property subject to tax ation.
 In special term 1t was held that nothing in the records showed the assessment to bt unjust, and the general term held the same opinion, 50 the case was carried to ths court of appeals, which, by reversing tn. former decisions, gives the victory to tn. electric company.
 BOSTON, Feb. 9.-A decision was ren dered by the United States circuit court o appeals, Judges Putnam, Nelson and Webb in favor of the Edison Electric Light com pspy against the Davis Electrical works, @ al. The suit was brought by the Edisol company against the Davis company fo the alleged infringement of the incandes cent lamp, and the case heard by Judg | Colt in the United States circuit cour which reaulted in @ temporary injunction being issuej, restraining and enjoining th , Davis company from making the lamp The Edison company claimed that th Davis company bought up lamps that wer worn out by use with ths flsment inside , which they purchased at 6 small price, o , | which in other ways have come into thei , possession and after reconstructing then sold them as repaired lamps.
