tho fight began. Ten rounds were fought,
Fruzer got in tho first blow on Madden's

blow on Frazer's nase, drawing first blood.
The next eight rounds wero fought very
stubbornly, both men being severely punish

"Foul I" and trouble ensued. The disturb

exhausted. Frozer was first to tho scratch.
Madd'ii faced hiinjiiid struck liimn terriblo

Tho coal trade and all coal movements
have been a good ileal unsettled the past
week. Tno principal subject matter attract
ing attention wu that ot tho contemplated
combination of tho several principal pro
ducing and coal carrying companies. At the
meeting, according to up)intment, on
Thursday last.ofthe representatives of these
several coinptnies, little was done beyond
talk and a general conversation as to tho
feelings and opiuionsof each. Sullieiertt.we
understand, wa developed iir this free
conversation to warrant the assertion that
all the several parties favor tlio general idea
that coal production' for Iho fnture must bo
limited to thedeinandofthe general market,
or that tho trade inis-t ultimately suffer a
widespread baukruptey. A committee was
ap)ointed, oomii.itTjd of Messrs. Gowcn,
Dickson and Sayre, to gather tho sense and
desire of tho several companies in tho matter,
and to omliody the same in a report to a
general meeting to bo held at New York to
morrow. Meetings to this end, we under
stand, have been hail with the operators iu
the several coal regions, and the leeling.it is
said, is as general with them as it is with
offuvre of tho carrying companies to do
something that will boeflectivoin protecting
the great coal interest, on which so many
other Interest dejiend. So far a wo ore-able
toloarn, the only point of trouble, if there
really be nny trouble at all, is with the
Lehigli, Valley Railrmd Guiniauv. That
oninjiiuy is not a anal producing limmmy.
It is wholly a coal carrier, and it president,
Judgo Packer, is lndinre,l lo take anv
official aotion toward arbitrarily linilfiugits
tonnage, against the wishes of the operators
nnuing outlet and a market over Ins road
If any want tho use of his cars ond his road
he thinks, under his charter, ho Is bound td
lurnlsu the one and yield tho use of tlio
other, but to the extent that the Lelligh
Valley operators may nereo to limit product
ion and to otherwise conform to the terms cf
the pro)iosed combination us they may be
agreed ujion, ho will personally lent! tho
matter his cordial aid. In other words, lie
will do what he ran to further tho withes of
Ins customers in any arrangement tlier may
agree iiiwn, and in comfinnation of tin's ho
has given the other members of this projwsed
combination his promiso in writing. Tho
only remaining point likely to Invito dls
cuvdou and lead to delay is tho amount
required to bo put into tho jiool by each
parly to tho combination. Some of the
number think it iiiconveniently and unne
cessarily large. Ttfo-lhirds of tho sum
suggested in tho published outline of tho
agreement it is thought w'nild generally be
more acceptable. As this, however, involves
no principle, it may bo readily adjusted.
Willi an interest eo largo and itbsirablo on
tho sido of such an nrraiigeme'it ns will
remove loss and rilin tho cuindniiliiUion of
the thing seems probable. In view of such
probability tho losing prices of nn'tliiacilc
coal have been advanced in all. since tlio
discussion of combination, probably one
dollar jkt ton. In this connection the
Engineer and Mining Journal gives currency
to tlio statement "that the banks, particu
larly tho Philadelphia banks, ore pressing
the companies fi'rwaitl into the arrangement
with the hojie of being able to in'load the
paper, more or less connected with the coal
trade, with which they nro loaded down."
So long as tlio subject mailer of an arrange
ment between the seeral companies has
been under discussion tho coal trado lias
been nearly nt a stand-still; and it is not
likely to quickth much until the matter is
definitely settled. Some fe'V dealers, iiiter
prcting tlio coiisumiition of tho project as
reasonably certain, havb mado purchases at
recent very low prices, ami if right in their
conn i-turcs on tins pMnt they will no doubt
make on their operations. In any event it
does not see sslbk for them to lose, as
coal cannot be produl at prices lower than
thoso which they have purchased at, and if
there is no further market at present prices
mining mint stop, and that of itself must
necessarily put up tho market. Tho present
probability; however, is that somo sort of
an arrangement for tho protection of all
parties to the trade producers, carriers and
consumers will bo advantaged, tho two
former in obtaining living prices and the
latter by having a steady supply of stock to
purchase from nt prices within reasonable
limits. The Reading Railroad Company
and tho Reading Coal and Iron Company,by
their respective boards of managers, on
Saturday advanced their freights and tolls
25 cents er ton and tho price of coal for
shipment from Port Richmond 50 cents per
ton. Tlio other companies have made cor
rosiwriiiiig advances. Tlio only other He m
of special interest during tho week is a blow
at the Brotherhood ofLoeomottto Engineers
from tho Delaware Lackawanna and Western
and Lehigh Valley Railroads; which' have
issued a notico that no lfierilber of that
organization or of tho TraiMmeu"s Union will
be retained after the onertirfi? of tlm now
year, thus projwsing to mrtko strikes as diffi
cult as jiossible. Ledger, Monday.
KV lORK.Dccelllbor 18 Tho ennfi-rcnen
of representatives of tho coal interest was
resumed tins morninc at the coal and iron
exchange. Thcro were u number of ojierators
ami speculators in coal in and around tho
building waiting for tho decision of tho
meeting, but tnev got little or no informa
tional tho proceedings were strictly private.
Among tlioso present were Samuel Sloan, of
tho Delaware, Lackawanna mid Western
railroad company ; Gcorgo A. Hoyt, of tho
Pennsylvania coal company; Judge Lathrop)
receiver of the New Jersey nillroau company;
Colonel ThoiriasA. Seott,of the Pennsylvania
central railroad! JS. W. Clark, of the Lehigh
and Wilkes-Barre coal company, and P.. H.
Sayre, of the Lehigh coal company.
The meeting passed severalliotirs irf con
sidering a plan or basis of a combination
submitted by tho comiuitteo of three ap
pointed at tlio last inecf'ug: It is said that
special concessions nro to bo made to the
Leliigh Valley interest.
Tlio following is the fei't 6f tho agreement
adopted :
First. Tho establishment of a board of
control with one reprcs-cirtativo of each
interest.
Second. An equitable distribution of the
entire production among all interests.
Third; Giving each interest the right to
manage itfi own sales mid mako it own
prices, but establishing a joint coal exchange
for tho sale of coal.
Fourth. Establishing a jienalty of $1.25
per ton' for over shipment of quota, and
providirg a fund out of which such ieualties
shall bo payable of fifteen cent jer ton on
all coal mined.
AcommitteeconsistingofMeasrs. Dickson,
Lindcrman, Clark, Hoyt and Gowen was
apiwintcd for tho puriwse of determining to
which companies the coal shipped over moro
than one road should bo charged and of
rcjMrting to an adjourned meeting, to bo
held on tho 27th inst., tho several quotas of
the resjiective interests.
