The game to-day the frst OF o series Of
FIVE, between the Albion and Richmond
clubs, will be the Inauguration Of one Of
the most spirited baseball seasons ever
played on the Range. In point Of organi-
cation and completeness. the Richmonds
will have the advantage to day. They will
throw a strong toam into the field, with an
excellent pitcher and catcher. The Albions
will be weak at every point excepting the
infeld. Crawford cant pitch and Rox-
burgh can't catch. which throws Muldoon
behind the bat 70 position he hasn't occu-
pied this season. and "Rox" in the center.
There are only six regular players Of the
Albions now on deck-Muldoon. Curran,
Roxburgh, Crawford. Skinner and Clark
but Lambert Of Ruby Hill, Stowell and
another player will temporarily ill the
vacancy created by the withdrawal OF Har-
digan. Riley and Davis. Jimmy Hall has
gone on the excursion, but on his return
he will take his old place at third. 1t is
reported that W good players have been
sent for and will arrive from tho Bay
shortly. who are to become regular men,
bers Of the Albion nine. The same clubs
will probably also engage for the prize to-
morrow. Should, however, the terrible
windstorm continue, it 10 safe to say the
clubs will not meet. p

When the good people Of Tucson heard
the powder explosion their first thought
was that the comet had struck the earth.
A dispatch relates this curious incident:
"A rough old miner a moment before the
shock walked up to q bar, remarking,
Well. boys, the comet will get away with
all OF us yet. Let's have one more drink
The conversation was being carried on in
this strain, and just before raising the
glasses came the blaze, followed quickly by
the explosion. All the miner could say
was: My God, boys, We are struck; drink
quick 7 The next moment he was found
PROSTATE on the ground, twenty feet away.

CUTTING A MANS EYES OUT.
Blindness Removed by the Use OF
the Knife.
Viroinia 0bropinla

A reporter happened to be present
in the Frederick House recently when a
very interesting operation was performed
by DR.. Rockman. The patient was An
tome Garcia, from near Eureka. About
two years ago Garcia lost the sight Of his
right eye and shortly after the sight of the
other began to fail also. He called on DIR.
Rockman, then practicing in Eureka, who
found that he was suffering from a hard
lenticular cataract Of the right eye, and
that the left was also commencing to
harden, but as he still could see with it
the doctor advised him not to have it
operated upon until the sight was entirely
gone, and then nave both attended to OF
once. About three months ago total
blindness resulted. Learning the other
day that DR.. Rockman had settled in Vir-
ginia, Garcia and his son came here. The
time was fixed for the operation, and Gar
cha, with u stolidity more Dutch than
Italian. laid himself on his back on q
lounge as directed by the doctor. The sur
geon stood behind the patients head and
propped the eyelids apart with q little in
strumept. This done, the doctor took o
narrow-bladed knife and commencing a lit
tie below the middle of the outer margin
Of the black ring Tor c~ornea). pushed the
knife through till it passed out at the oppo-
site margin, and then kept on cutting till
it reached the upper margin. when, cutting
this through, the knife came out. The lid
was then allowed to close for about FIVE
minutes, to allow the eye to fill up with
water, as the doctor stated. Then the lids
were again opened, when the doctor intro
duced o needle hook through the gaping
wound and scratched across the eye to open
the capsule, so that the hard lens which is
enclosed in the capsule might escape.
He then pressed the handle Of the
knife upon the upper part of the
eye, when out came the lens through the
pupil and through the open wound,
whence it fell on the pale face Of the hard
breathing patient. The doctor worked
rapidly for a moment, closed the lids and
kept them so for five minutes. Then the
doctor opened them, and Garcia, in great
excitement, cried doctor. I see you :"
Tho pool fellow seemed overwhelmed with
Joy. Ten minutes later the same opera
ton was performed on the other eye. At
ter putting cotton pads upon both eyes and
bandaging them, the patient was put to bed
with strict orders to keep quiet.
All this was done without ehloroform,
and he Y a man, without the aid Of a pain
deadener, can stand to have his eyes cut to
pieces, is something in the way Of nerve
the reporter can admire but not under.
stand.
As to the result, DR.. Rockman said that
il suppuration does not set in Garcia will
have the sight Of both eyes, though he
may have to use CONVEX glasses. As the
| patient is a comparatively young man,
| and OF robust constitution. the doctor has
no doubt but that he will come through
all right.
Virginia has a good quota OF shillful
| surgeons. but DR.. Rockman, the latest ar.
| rival, is evidently determined to hold his
| own with the best of them.
