TIE srORn''s WORK.
Damage Done 20 Telegraph wires
Not Yet Repaired.

Day before Yesterday all the business
came by one wire between Richmond
ald Alexandria by way OF Lynchbnrg.
Yesterday the Western Union Company
succeeded in getting in good working
order two other wires over the same road,
thereby triplirg the service. No con-
nection has yet been effected by the
Fredericksburg road
The storm seems to have been fercer
cross country from New York TO about
twenty-five miles south OF Alexandra
than it was farther south.
The difficulty of repairing the breaks
can he appreciated when 1t is remem-
bered that the railroads are able TO fur
nish only limited facilities 70 the line
men. and the railroads can 1o no better,
because thcre is no ieleeraphic commu-
nication and the train dispatchers have
TO exercise the utmost care in the way
trains are moved. When the wires are
in good condition train dispatcher, OF
course, knows whore every train is as
we'll as if it were before his eyes, but
when the electric current stops he is like
one moving in the dark.
Tho Western Union Company is
making energetic strides to establish
two or three wires over the Frcderlcks.
burg road, end expect to accomplish
tins by this afternoon. The company
cannot yet tell where the breaks are and
have to move their men from place 10
place along the route, and that takes
time.
The wires over the Long bridge, near
Washington, ore reported 10 BE- m fear
ful taDgle. and the wires from Quan;ico TO
Alexandria and from Fairfax ION the
Midland road to Alexandria have caused
much trouble. The gale seems TO have
been strongerelong there than anywhere
else in Virginia.
All the wires from Fredericksburg and
Charlottesville south, including South
ern Virginia, North Carolina. South
Carolinl. Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi.
and Louisiana have worked all right. and
the wires from Nashville and Atlanta
have worked well all during the storm.
The failure of trains TO arrive from
nOrthcrp points has Decessarlylnteriered

t'ard.

On Monday and Tuesday. the two first
days OF my great Fire Sale," the
crowds were so large that il was impos-
siblc to admit one fourth OF the people
in my store, and those who were fortu-
nate enough to get through the door
could not be waited on properly, as it
was impossible TO give them the stten-
ton we should have done under ordi-
nary circumstances. therefore ask the
kind indulgence of those who failed to
get attended to during the rush, and as

nANVILLN OFFICES.
Principal Ones 10 be Taken Back to
MashInRtOn.

Now that the Legislature has ad-
lourned the principal offices of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company
are to be taken from this city to Wash
ingtOn.
ct least such is the current rumor,
and the officers refuse to deny its nc
curacy.
Having heard that the auditors and
treasurers offices and their clerical
forces would in few days be taken to
the national capital. q representative OF
the Diopafch yesterday afternoon called
at the company's bulding, corner OF
Tenth and Bank streets, and interviewed
the officers named on the subject.
Treasurer Hall said 1t is fact that
I expect my Office TO he moved to WASH
ington. | have heard more about it on
the street than in my Office 1 have re-
ceiyed no order whatever with regard TO
the removal, and therefore cannot say
Just when it viii take place.
The auditor, Mr.. Crump, was very
reticent He said he was a servant Of
the company, and he did not feel that
it would be right FOR him to diyulge
their secrets.
Report says, and doubtless correctly,
that the auditors Office. with its clerical
force OF between thirty-iive and forty,
will be removed from Richmond on the
18th instant, and that the treasurers Of
fee, with seven clerks, will follow few
days later
This shows what an error the Legisla-
ture made at its recent session in not
passing the bill requiring railroads char
tered by the Legislature of Virginia to
keep their principal offices il this city.

The Height of Waves,

It is very common phrase to
speak of the waves. during a storm,
as running mountains high; but this
really means nothing. Accur ate
measurements, made by Scoresby
proved that during storms, waves in
the Atlantic rarely exceed 43 feet
from hollow to crest being $50 feet
and their speed 32 1-2 miles an hou r
More recent observations in the At
lantic give from A to 4S feet as the
highest measured waves, but such
heights are rarely reached, and, in
deed. waves exceeding 80 feet are
very seldom encountered. The mon.
soon waves at Kurrachee breakwater
works were found to dash over the
wall to the depth OF 13 feet, or about
40 feet above mean sea level. The
greatest height of waves on the Brit
ish coast were those observed in Wick
bay-so famous for the exceptionally
heavy seas which roll into it-being
81 1-2 to 40 feet. Green seas to the
depth of-25 feet poured over the para
pet OF the breakwater at intervals of
from seven to ten minutes,each wave,
it was estimated, being a mass OF
10000 tons OF water, and this con-
tinuously for three days and nights.
During severe storms the waves used
to rise high above the top Of Smea-
toms Eddystone tower, while at the
Bell Rock the seas, with easterly
storms, envelop the tower from base
to balcony-a height of 400 feet.
