KILLED IN A RACE FIGHT.

Seven Negroes Reported Dead as the Result of a Kentucky Affray. Hawesville, Ky., Oct. 9. —As the excursion train from the Owensboro fair arrived at Powers station, a few miles west of this city, at 6 o’clock Sunday night a terrible race fight occurred between thirty drunken negroes and a few white men, as a result of which seven negroes are said to have been killed. It seems the negroes became angered because they were forced to ride in the colored apartment.
