TERRIFIC STORM.
lrr0m the saer.mepto Bee, lGth.l

IRON the Sacramepto Dec lIIu.
The terrible storm which set in on the
Sierra Nevadas on Wednesday still con-
tinues, the wind is blowing tiercely, and
although the fall of snow to-day is lighter
than at any time during the past two
days, the barometer is low and there are
no signs of a cessation of hostilities on
the part Of the Storm King. The rail
road men have been called upon to en-
ert themselves to their utmost, and all
have worked night and day in endeavor-
ing to get the road open. The storm is
the severest known ON the mountains
since the construction of the railroad,
and never before were such difficulties
encountered in the way of opening a
blockaded road.
In addition to the two slides mentioned
in last evenings Bee as having occurred
at point about two miles east of Emf
grant Gap, another occurred at eight
o'clock last night, between the Gap and
Cisco, carrying away about 200 feet of
snow-sheds, and blockading the track at
that point
At half-past o'clock this morning a
special snow plough train, composed of
eight engines and having eighty men on
board, left the Summit, for the purpose
of opening the road westward, and work
ing toward the ploughs from Emigrant
Gap. When about half a mile west of
the Summit the train jumped the track,
it being impossible to keep on the rails,
on account of the ice on their surface,
and the plough and engines with full
head of steam on the latter, dashed
through the side of the snow sheds, tear
ing down the massive timbers as if they
were reeds, and then running distance
of about one hundred feet before they
could be stopped. Fortunately, there
was considerable siding at the point
where the accident happened, else the
train would have gone down the noun
tain side into the chasm thousands of
feet below, and there would have been a
heavy loss of human life. Several of the
engines and the plough careened to one
side and stuck in that position, so that
the eight engines cannot be utilized till
put back on the track. No one on board
the train was hurt in the least--a mir
acle, indeed, when the circumstances and
| surroundings are considered.
During the twenty-four hours ending
at s o'clock this morning, the fall of snow
on the mountains was as follows: Truckee

Canyon feet, Alta u feet

DAY OFFICIAL LETTER. The following
is the official letter of A. S. Gould, Supt
of the Day mine, dated April 23d: eve
are making rapid progress in sinking the
incline from the 9OO-foot level. The big
tissure holds at the bottom very evenly
and we break to it with great advantage.
I hope to make my 700-foot station in
about five weeks. The west crosscut is
very tight and difficult, but / expected it
would be for at least twenty or thirty
feet, till we reached the chimney making
at the cave level. Our workings are now
of a nature to fully demonstrate the real
value OF the mine in a very short time.
A mining scientist, who was through the
mine yesterday, estimates the amount of
ore in sight at 700 tons, exclusive of the
loads in the ore. house and on the plat
forms.
THE WONDER. The special dispatches

it was that the Car came to know of
Poujade and his coffee, being located so
far off as Phoebe, and how the Gar ever
managed to get it all the way from here.
No MoNTAGuEs. Word comes from
Capoul, the celebrated "artiste in hair, "

middle.

He Dressed Hancock g Wounds.

DR.. A. N. Dougherty, of Newark, says:
"In the third days fight at Gettysburg he
was wounded, and was sent for. I found
him lying on the hill slope, under tree
and facing the enemy. There was deep,
wide cash in his leg, near the groin. In the
wound where wood splinters and a ten
penny nail. Gen. Hancock was anxious to
know what the rebels were using in their
shells. He thought he had been wounded
by splinters from one of the enemy S
and l lay down beside him. Then we
drove through a hot fire to my hospital.
Afterwards l discovered that a bullet had
penetrated his saddle, and then lodged in
his thigh, carrying with it the wood splin-
ters and the ten-penny nail.
Gas he lay in the hospital in great pain,
l. at his dictatiOn, wrote his first dispatch
to Gen. Meade, announcing the victory won
at Gettysbure, adding to the dispatch that
the defeat would be turned into rOut.
He was calm. patient and heroic. He is
equally entitled with Meade to the honor of
the victory at Gettysburg, and Meade would
say so if he were alive. On the night of the
second days battle council of war was
held. 1t was proposed to fall back and es-
tablish the line of battle at Pipe creek, but
Hancock opposed it. He argued that the
army should stay where it was, and he said
that the Army of the Potomac had made
it's last retreat, and should fight or die on
the line where the battle begun. General
Meade finally cOincided with Hancock, and
the result was that that great victory Grip
pied the rebels so that they never recover
ed from it,

THE SEAWANHAkA'S DEAD.

Twenty Five Bodies Recovered and Twenty
Persons Still Missing.
New York dispatch to the Times.
The latest accounts of the Seawanhaka
disaster report twenty-five persons dead,
of whom twenty -four have been identified
and twenty others missing. The number
who suffered injuries of some severity
is between twenty and thirty. 1t is
thought that not more than one or two of
the injured are likely to die. Nothing is
definitely known as to the cause of the fire.
The engineer, in his official statement, says
that, in his opinion, the fire was caused by
an outburst of ignited gas that had accu-
mulated in the furnace. The boiler Of the
burned steamboat was to-day examined by
brother of Captain Smith, who is said to
be capable of giving an expert opinion,
and he says that he discovered no break in
the boiler or tiues nor defect in the fur
mace.
Among the missing reported late this
afte noon are : Mrs. Mary Ann Flynn, of
Hurlburd, of Great Neck, L. l., broker ;
Israel Bloomingdale, of East Forty-ninth
street. Nothing as yet has been heard
from Mr.. Charles A. Appellee, re-
ported missing last night. Three
more bodies were identified at the
morgue, viz i: Theodore Cauthier, a
grocer, of Sheriff street; Constantine
Sherry, of One-hundred- d-and-seventeenth
street and Clarence Vandewater, four
year-old son of John P. Vandewater, of
Glen Cove A colored man employed OH
Seawanhaka, but whose name is unknown,
is also recognized. At two o'clock the
morgue was crowded with friends of the
missing people, making anxious inquiries.
There are four bodies there still unidenti-
fed.
Felix Aucaigne, correspondent for French
papers, living at 34l West Twenty eighth
street, found his sister to-day in the hos
pital at Willet's Point, confirmed lunatic.
She had been on board the steamer Sea-

dition was such to-day that she could not
tell anything about her sister-in-law. Mr..
Aucaigne took blank death certificate,
so that he could remove the body of his
wife if he found it.

THOSE who think of travelling by
