Joe Fox May Not Lose the Sight of
 His Eye
 The all-star team that will play at Lowell against the Lowells for benefit of Joe Fox on April 7th will be made up of Dicky Pierce, Cashman, Gardner, Wodtlke and Wiley. Mallory it is now stated will play in the Lowell goal next season unless Fox manages to get into gear and play, and there scens little chance for a man that has only one eye.
 It will be good news to everyone who has ever been brought into contact with Joe Fox, the goal tend for this years Lowell polo team, to hear that the surgeons at the Eye and Ear in- firmary at Boston have not yet given up hopes of saving the sight of his eye that was so badly injured in a recent game. They think that they may be able to patch Joe up so that he can re- gain the sight of his optic and be back in the game again next year. They, however, refuse to promise anything in this direction, preferrip< to let time do tue work if it can be done.

BASE BALL.
No President for the National Baseball
 League.

While the National league base ball magnates kept their mouths shut all day yesterday, story was put i'll CIT culation to the effect that fund of $l00.O00 had been raised and that agents had been sent out to sign the leading star players of the American league, including Lajoie, Delehanty, Wolverton, Flick, Heidriek, Wallace, Burkett and others who Jumped the National league last year. According to the yarn the signing of Mcclure and Sheckard of the Brooklyns by the American league was the real reason why this move was resorted to. Hor- ace Fogel, the acting manager Of the New Yorlzs, was said last night to have gone to Philadelphia with $15,000 in his inside pocket to sign Lajoie. Just who gave this money to Fogel nobody seemed to know. It is known that Hanlon of Brooklyn has been advocat- ing some such move for several days past and rumor had it that he had fol- lowed Fogel in the crusade into tie American league camp There was much secret wrangling among the mag mates all day. w. c. Temple. who was conditionally elected president on Wednesday. sent word to 1te magnates at the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday that he could not accept the office. As no other candidate could be agreed upon an executive committee of three, Soden, Brush and Hart. were chosen to conduct the affairs of the league In- til next fall N. E Young was elected secretary and treasurer, and will move his office to New York. The Spalding ball was adopted. The championship season will open on April IT. with Philadelphia in New York. Boston in
 Brooklyn, Pittsburg in St Louis and
 Chicago in Cincinnati.

ANOTHER SURPRISE.
Middlemen dettIng $il to $12 Per Ton
for Coal While Poor Are Freezing.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1S.-When the
coal strike commission met yester.
day Chairman Gray opened the pro
ceedings by saying that the com
missioners were impressed with the
spectacle of the little girls who were
before the commission yesterday and
testified that they worked all night.
He said the people of the community
and citizens of the commonwealth
should not let the incident pass with
out taking some steps to have the
Legislature of Pennsylvania serious
ly consider the enactment of a law
that will forbid the employment of
children at night. At the suggestion
of the commission the statements of
the wages of the fathers of two Of
the girls were presented. One earned
more than $1,000 last year and the
other over 5000.
The miners sprung another sur
prise Dy presenting an lndlVldual
operator on the witness stand against
the operators. He was John G. Had
dock, of Wjlkesbarre, president Of
the Plymouth Coal Company. Mr..
Haddock in answer to questions put
to him by c. S. Darrow for the
miners said he had been in the coal
business 35 years. His company OPP
Grated the Black Diamond and Dod-
son mines near Wilkesbarre. He said
his company went into the hands of
receivers on March IA, and on No
vember IA trustees took hold of the
property.
Mr.. Haddock then explained that
the miners ton, which runs from 270O
to 5000 pounds, was fixed years ago
so that the employer could get out
of the ton 2240 pounds of pure coal
above the size of pea. Pea coal and
all sizes below that was waste. This
is now being utilized.
Regarding the price of Coal Mr..
Haddock said the middlemen in New
York are paying $11 and $12 a ton.
Judge Gray-"Do they pay the op-
orators that price?"
Possibly"

CONTINUE TO RUN TRANSPORTS.
LudingtOn Advising House Committee
Against Contract System.

Washington. Dec. T7.-Quarter-
master-General Ludington of the
Army, before the House committee on
military affairs, today advocated con-
tinuing the transport service under
the control of the War Department.
He said the cost of the service as now
conducted is about $4,000 less than
any of the estimates submitted by
private concerns, but said that in his
opinion it would be in the interest of
the soldier and service for the War
Department to operate its own line.
General Ludington, speaking of mat
ter of carrying private parties on the
Government transports, said the num-
Der was insignificant and that where
abuses had occurred in that direction
they already had been corrected.

"ECKERMAN, Commander"
Further details of the sinking of
the Venezuelan ships have been OBJ
tanned from an entry made in the
books of the signal men of the fort
ress at La Guayra. 1t is as follows:
Tuesday, December 8, 1870 night.
The Adjutant called me to see if
| knew the steamer Retribution of
the English Navy was towing the
steamers Crespo and Totune, of the
National Navy, three or four miles
north. had heard four cannon shots
and saw the two steamers had disap-
peared and understood they had
been sunk by the Vineta and Retri-
button. At the end of an hour the
Retribution returned to the harbor
alone"
The fact that the Retribution re-
turned to La Guayra alone two hours
after leaving with the captured YES
sells was confirmed by English res
idents of La Guayra Consequently
she did not have time to conduct the
Venezuelan ships to Curacao or Trim
idad.
