WHAT THEY WILL DO.

Correspondence Of TIE Richmond DisDatch.l
HAMPTON, Va, January 1.-The

when finding it too dangerous to pro-

floating ice-very large, thick cakes
making it extremely dangerous for
wooden vessels. Only one steamer had
reached Old Point at II A. NJ. to-day
the steamer Cape Charles, from Cape
Charles City.
DRAGGED HER ANCHOR.
A large iron tramp steamer Is lying
of Old Point to-day. When the strong
ebb-tido set in and the ice began TO take
her out into the baY so rapidly another
anchor was dropped and steam was kept
up
Two dark objects were seen in the Ice
far the other side of the Rip Raps, and
it is supposed that they were two buoys,
carried away by the ice.
Out in the bay the ice seems piling up,
and if the cold weather continues navl-
CATION will be stopped hereabouts
Several coal barges were noticed car
ried along by the ice to-day, and there
were no tugs at Old Point to render as
sistance.
FEARS.
II is feared that when the weather gets
warmer aud the ice in the James river
breaks up that it will be more danger
GUS to navigation than now.
A colored man living a short distance
from town was found dead IN his house
q few days ago. 1t is supposed that he
