BAILY.

The Carson Appeal has the follow
ing concerning the peace resolutions
introduced in the Assembly by Judge
Baily, of Eureka. We knew that
Dave was a winning, seducing fellow,
but we had no idea that, like q young
beauty at her first ball, he would fas.
climate all parties and carry all hearts
by storm:
"Nothing that has taken place since
the converting of the present Legis-
lature is of q more assuring character
than the introduction and passing Of
the resolutions presented to the AS.
sembly by Mr.. Baily, Of Eureka
county, referring to the grave attitude
Of affairs concerning the next presi-
dency, and breathing thitherward the
language Of temperance, peace and
good citizenship. Such expressions
are In all respects worthy of a gentle
man Of the personal standing and pro.
fessional occupations of their author.
We begrudge nothing of the praise
which is SO freely and so Justly award
ed to Mr.. Baily for the tone and lem
per of his resolutions, albeit he is a
Democrat Of the most pronounced con-
victions, and an ardent supporter of
the cause Of Tilden and Hendricks.
There Is no craftsmanship in q love of
peace; no monopoly Of patriotism in a
willingness to abide by lawful results;
and the alacrity and chserfulness with
which the Republicans OF the Assem-
bly, gave their almost unanimous sup
port to these resolutions is one of the
very best and most assuring signs OF
tho times"

LONDON, Jan. II.
Tho India ofire publishes a dispatch +,
dated January ~, from Lord Carnar-
Won, acting Indian Secretary in the ab.
sence of Lord Salisbury, to Lord Lyt-
ton, Governor General of India. 1t re-
quests that a weekly summary be
h%enceforth sen by telegraph giving
the main facts in regard to the famine.
Lord Carnarvon, in summing up the
information he has hitherto received,
considers it alarming that $40, 900 per.
sons are already employed on relief
works in Madras and $50 ono in Bonn
bay. The Government estimates that
the famine in Bombay will gradually
increase. reaching its maximum in
April, when a million persons will re-
quire re ief, after which it will gradual
ly decrease. In Madras the prospect
is proportionately worse. The dis
tricts affected in Madras cover so, 900
square miles and contain a population
of 5000, 900. In bombay the famine
stricken territory covers $4,000 square
miles and has a population of $780,
600, 5000 600 of which are In the dis
tricts nor Immediately affected.

thing unalterable, but only as a sort OF
basis for discussion.

this afternoon. Boats managed to es-
cape. Some damage was done at JEFF
fersonville. The ice now blocks the
river at this point.
JEFFERsoNvILLE, Jan. IA.
At four O'Clock the river commenced
rising rapidly and rose five feet in two
hours. The ice is moving ten miles an
hour. 1t is feared that considerable
damage has been done.
PITTsBURo, Pa, Jan. IA.
The river at ten O'Clock p. NJ. on the
18th was running full of ice. 1t broke
in the upper Monongahela yesterday
and reached here at six this morning.
Bennett and Chieftain, two wheel pack
cts, were totally wrecked; value and
insurance unknown. The work of de-
struction lasted several hours. Six
tug boats were sunk. The Grant Lake
Company lost fourteen loaded boats
aud a NUMBER of empty barges. Brown
& Co. had 50 loaded and 81 empty
boats swept away; probably all lost.
Fawcett & Son lost l6 loaded boats and
seven empty harges. Several other
firms, here and ut McKees port, have
lost Il number of boats and barges.
The entire fleet about F~rankstown was
pit away. The damage to the coal
interest is such that it will require two
months to place the mines in working
order. All the dry docks this side of
Birmingham were carried away with
one exception. The dams of the Slack
Water Navigation Company escaped
with slight injuries. Anything like
an estimate of the total loss can not he
given, but it is probably over two
millions. 1t is feared that several lives
were lost. but the confusion on the
wharves is so great That it is impOssi-
Bile TO verify all rumors; but one body
has been recovered as yet.
C~INCINNATI, Jan. IA.
The ice gave way at noon, striking
and sinking the steamer Calumet. She
is q total loss. Farther down the ice
carried away forty loaded aud as many
empty barges. The damage here to-
day ~ fully $l00. 900.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.
The Worlds special from Pittsburg
places the loss there by floating ice at
$4,000 900. -Four hundred coal barges
and nine steamboats, were destroyed.
The loss of life was small, only three
or four fatalities being reported, but
there were many marvellous escapes.
The ice piled up 20 and 30 feet in
places. The Allegheny river did not
break up, a circumstance that saved
millions of property and many lives,
as both rivers gorgin2 at once would
have submerged large portions Of
Pittsburg and Allegheny City.

Tracy's EscaDe


On Thursday evening, at about $50. as
the family of Sheriff Newton were at supper,
they discovered that one of the prisoners,
Lawrence Tracy, the caboose thief, had made
his escape through the door leading into the
Jail. The theory is that the ianitor, in
locking the door, did not fully close it, and
the prisoner took advantage thereof. He
seems to have been hard customer. one
that has been in State Prison, and has
broken from several of the county tails in
the State. The Storm began about the same
time, and it was very dark. The prisoner
was tracked down the railroad nearly TO
TT. Atkinson, when all trace was lost. The
Sheriff had gone TO Oshkosh with a crazy
person, and returned to-day. The fellow
had made a previous attempt to escape, but
was elected. He had his case put over at
The Fe ruary term of court on same pretext
or another. With the start he has be will
probably make good his escape

The DOings of Tramps.

Last Wednesday night three or four
tramps took posse sslon os the school house
of the German Catholic Sisterhood in the
I'd ward, and proceeded to make their sit
uation as comfortable as possible by build
ing red hot fire in the stove, and piling
up wood around it to prepare it for future
use. The smell of smoke about The prem
ises bore evidence of danger, and some
parties connected with the school looked in
upon The scene to find the wood surround
ing the stove on fire, and all the tramps
sank away to rest in the arms of Morpheus.
Marshal Cunningham was sent for to come
10 the rescue, and the tramps were taken
to the lookup. The next day Justice Baird
attended TO their case and sentenced the
batch to 80 days in the County Jail.
