The Emperor of Austrla's Youngest

is spending the summer in the imperiaI
villa at lschl, few days ago went to a
favorlte spot, where she is fond of watch
ing the sun SET
She had her little girl with her. who is d
years old. When the Archduchess came
to the bench from which she USUALLY en-
joys the view. and beyond which the path
does not lead, she found it occupied
by two showily dressed women. Shy
as she is. she would have turned
but her fear Of offending these womsn was
stronger than her shyness. and she sat
down, placing the little Archduchess
Elizabeth beside her. The strangers i'm
meolately began a conversation. which the
Empeior's daughter was too amiabIe to re-
fuse entering into.
One snowy stranger. who was a Rou-
manlan, admired the little Archducbess'
Datiste frock, embroidered all over with

WOODLAND, Jan. g. The rainstOrm
which began Thursday evening and con-
iinued almost without interruption for
twenty-four hours was one Of the heaviest
that ever visited this part of the State. In
this county the precipitation varied from
four to six inches. Putah and Cache
creeks soon became raging torrents and
broke over their banks, and all slOughs
and arrOyos that are ordinarily dry the
year around are full.
The damage mas been considerable,
mostly to the railroad company. The
track is washed out in many places in the
County and the disaster near Willow
Slough is of very serious character.
The Oroyille train reached Merritts
station Friday night. At that place tie
engineer was signaled and started 10 back
up to DavisVille. There was only few
passengers 90 the train and they were
mostly in the rear car.
Water was running over the track and
the train was running very slowly.
The first intimatiOn of danger was when
it was observed that The rails and cars
were sliding from the grade. The passen-
gers made break for the next car in
front, but as that was also sliding off the
grade they continued until they got to the
engine. All escaped from the train with
out injury.
There were fourteen or fifteen passen-
gers, and among them were Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Dinzer and child, Miss Title
Schluer, Miss Ellen Saunders. Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Dinzler. James Lawson and
Peter Krellen berg of Woodland.
When the passengers reached the grade
by the engine the water was three feet
deep. The grade was very slippery and it
was with difficulty that they could keep
their feet. The force oGthe waves knocked
them down irequen ly. and it seemed as
if some OF the weakest must certainly
drown. They continued the struggle
bravely. however, and after walk of
quarter Of a mile came to high land.
Mr.. Powers. farmer who lives near by,
heard the cries for help and met the party
at a culVert. He helped them pass it in
safety and then took them to his house,
which is near the track, built up a good
fire aud made them as comfortable % pos
sible.
In the meantime the water kept rising
and it looked as if the house would be
swept awav, but after few hours the
water began to recede. and the anxiety of
the party was relieved.
Shortly after the party arrived at Mr..
Powers, the raj road company sent out a
row boat, and all those who desired were
taken to Davisvile, but the Woodland
people remained where they were for the
night.
About O'Clock this morning a four
horse bus from Woodland approached
within mile of the farmhouse. the party
walked that distance and were brought
home. The laGies lost good deal of their
clothing, such as shoes and hats. and
mahy bundles were left 10 the cars. Mem
bers of the party say the night was one of
Undesirable horror and the wonder is
tba, no one was lost.
There were two tramps on the brake
beams when the tram left Davisville and
the opinion is that both were drowned.
