AT II O'clock when the propeller was twenty

life boats, For miles the west shore was lined
with floating Ice, and so the men In the boats
pulled for Milwaukee harbor. They had not
gone far when they found themselves entirely
surrounded with floating Ice. By cutting their
way through the ice with axes they managed to

The cargo of the vessel was insured for Sl4 900 in

The Post Route bill was reported and recon-.
mitted.
Mr.. speerat the expiration Of the morning hour
called up the contested election ca Of Yeates VS.
Martin.
Mr.. Conger inquired whether this was ques.
ton of higher privilege than the question before
the House yesterday. He had understood the
Chair to decide when the other question was up
that he could not imagine question Of higher
privilege than the one which involved the elec'

The Speaker replied the Chair had not been
asked to recognize any member upon that ques'
ton. The gentleman in charge of the resolution
was not pressiDgit 1t.
Mr.. Corger remarked, sarcastically, If there was
was need Of any urging from his side Of the House
he was ready to urge 1t.
The election case was then taken up and Mr.

T. g discussion was protracted.
Mr. Keifer presented the case Of the contestee

A KENTUCKY HORROR.
A Family of Seven Persons Burned
SusplcLOns of Murder.

Caneyville, KY, January 29.-Iniormatiou Of
one of the most horrible tragedies enacted in
this (Gray SOM county reached this place early this
morHing, being no less than the terrible death OF
seven persons, whether by the hand Of the assas.
sin or by cruel flames is not yet positively ascer'
tanned, the general impre sion, however favorir g
the former theory.
-Four miles east Of this place there resided up to
the time Of the event, Mr.. Wiley Emery and seven
children, three boys and four girls, the eldest a
girl, berg seventeen years Of age, and the young
est six, Mis- Emery, the wife and mother, having
died several years ago. Mr.. Emery was well'to.
do and owned large stock farm.
A few days since he sold several thousand dol
lars worth Of stock, and, as was his custom, took
the money home with him, II stead Of placing 1t
in the bank. About nine o'clock last nights Mr.
Green the nearest neighbor to the Emerys, saw a
bright light in the direction Of the latters house
and calling his help fastened over to render as.
sistance in extinguishing the flames, which, by
the time of their arrival, were completely envel
opipg the iated building. To their horror, when
reaching the house, they discovered that the fam
lily Of seven souls were inside, and the bodies Of
the entire family were COZ sumed, together with
the house and Its contents.
Not a cry was heard from the victims by those
who ran to their assistance, and from this fact i
is inferred that after the inmates had retired the
house was entered by some fiend or hends, who
first murdered the family, secured the money ant
other valuabes, and then fred the house for the
purpose Of WipiDg out all evidence Of their infam
GUS crime.
The whole country is thoroughly aroused an:
a thorough investigation of the tragedy will bt
made, and, should the murder theory become es
tablshed and the suspected persons captured
short work will be made of them.

CANTON, OHIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1881.
THE COMING PREMIER.

Mr.. Beck briefly replied. He said that be was
glad that his presentation Of what he thought was
the best pol cy, had called forth the premier Of
the next administration. The Senator from
Maine had not denied, because he knew 1t was
true, that we had no foreign carrying trade; nor
that 1t had doubled since the war; nor that we
gave $4,000 0O0 per year to build up the trade Of
our rival and weaken ourselves; nor that whi Q
we give the right to Germany, England and
France to carry onr goods from our ports In cheap
free ships we are handlcapping ourselves; nor
that instead of having 10000 or 10000 Ameh'
can sailors, as we had In the war, we now have
none; nor that we have 20 defenders Of our
coasts.
The Senator denied none Of the facts stated by
him Beck) but his (Blaines) remedy for 1t all was
further taxation Of the people, for subsidies meant
taxation and nothing else; and the policy Of q
subsidized line under John Roach or any ether
Individual would be to destroy the competition
OF its rival, then double Its charges and create
monopoly Of the coastwise trade. Mr.. Beck re-
piled to Mr.. Blaine's allusion to the Democratic
tariff for the revenue plank by stating that a
stronger plank was contained in the platform o.

country, though cheated out Of the victory, and
that as the popular vote in 1880 also showed ma.
jority for the Democratic candidate, the alleged
condemnation Of that policy could not have been
very emphatic after all.
The resolution was then laid on the table with.
out action.
The Naval Appropriation bill was then passed
after few amendments had been tackled onto II;

SENATE.

Washington, January Ex-senator Baldwin Of
Michigan took his seat to-day
Mr., Dawes addressed the Senate upon the kill
ing Of Big Snake Poncs chief, by soldiers in the
office Of the Agent of the Poncas in the Indian
Territory. At his suggestion the response Of the
Interior Department under date Of January 9th,
1884, to the Senate resolution Of inquiry Of March
II, 1880, or nine months before, was read and
commented upon the extraordinary delay Of the
response intimated that 1t was intentional. Mr..
Dawes next detailed the circumstances Of the
killing. The methods of the Indian Department
were scathingly criticised as un.American and
vindlctive. Mr.. Dawes concluded by presenting
a prote from Standing Bear and thirty.fVe 9TH
ers against the sale Of the old reservation, and
requesting q continuance Of their annuitles,
etc.
Mr.. Logan, replying to what he thought might
be construed as reflection upon the Interior
Department In the remarks just made, eulOgized
the courpe Of the head Of that department and Its
general management Of late years as having been
az honest, capable, fair and just as thRt OF any
other department Of the Government
Mr.. Dawes denied that single word had ever
fallen from his lips in disparagement of the gen.
eral policy OF the Indian Department or its
head.
Mr.. Plumb, replying to Mr.. Dawes said, the In.
dian Agent whom that Senator denounced as
cOwardly was man who he knew to be person.
ally above Teproaoh and who served fcur years
In the army. Assuming that the killing was not
justinable he thought the most that could be said
about 1t was that the agent had undertaken plan
for the arrest Of the Indian resulting in his muir
der which result was unintentIOnRl.
hr. KlrkWOod said he would ask to submit some
reply 10 MI. Dawes tomorrow.

THE BOERs REPULsE THE BRITISH
COLUMN.

London, January 2S-The first regular engage.
ment between the British troops and the BoCrs
has resulted in a victory for the latter.
The Beers acted with great caution and fore.
sight In this action with General Colley. They
continued reIreatlrg before the advance Of his
column, which moved In all about twenty miles
from his last camping place, permitting him to
advance unmolested through some OF the worst
places in the mountains. When they arrived at
the Drakenburg pass the last OF the steep accents
which leads to the plateau beyond the Yaal River
they took up strong position and prepared to
await an encounter, Their position gave promise
Of victory. In the first place the British would be
tagged and Weared after theirlorg march through
the hills while the Beers were comparatively
fresh. and moreover they had great natural ad-
Vantages on their side, Even In case OF defeat
they bad the comparatively level plain behind
them, and being nearly all mounted they
could retreat much faster than the British could
follow
General Colley began the attack by opening a
strong fire from his artillery before which the
Beers gradually fell back. portion Of the Fifty.
eighth Regiment of infantry and a number OF
horsemen then advanced under cover of the ar
tillery hre to force the pass but in the meantime
the Beers had received reiniorcements from
Heidelberg and their force, now amounting 10
between 1000 and 5000, soon returned, and the
British were compelled to fall back with heavy
loFs. Both parties now maintain their former
positions
As to the reinforcements which General Colley
must await, the infantry portion of the troops
which arrived at Durham by the Euphrstes last
Tuesday are now on the way to Pletermaritzburg
by railroad, but thence they have 200 miles to
march before they can Join General Colley Horses
