Running to Their Terminus


3 SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1S.-The snow
blockade on the railroad between this
city and Truckee has been raised. Five
delayed trains passed through this city
foEaSan Francisco tonight, the first
reaching this point at 6:2O and the fifth

Division Superintendent Laws is at
Trnekee with an army of workmen,
who are engaged in completing the res
toration of the track to normal condi-
tons. Several long reaches of track
We're carried away and a temporary
track has been laid, over--whichs the
delayed trains crept. -
Permanent repairs will be made at
once. The weather is growing colder
and no further danger to the track
and snow sheds is feared. The work
Of clearing the track was accomplished
in half the time estimated.
This was accomplished by the ability
of the company to get large num-

the collapse of the snow sheds and at
tacking the slides of snow and earth
at dozen points simultaneously.

PRINCESS WEEDS AGAINST
WISHES OF HER FAMILY
Daughter of Rcigning House in Prin-
cipality of Reuss- -Greitz Chooses
Soldier for Her Husband.

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-Greiz, the capt.
tai of the principality of Reuss- -Greitz.
was e scene last Monday of another
of those royal romances which have
been plentiful OH the Continent in re-
cent years. Some time ago the Prin-
cess Emma, the Oldest daughter of the
ancient and wealthy house of Reuss,
fell in love with Count Keunigl an
Austrian. With difficulty the objec-
tions of the family were overcome and
she married him. AT the wedding her
younger sister. the Princess Marie, fell
in love with fascinating Austrian SOL
dier, the Baron Guagnoni. She, too,
overcame opposition of her relatives,
who were infinitely distressed that the
second Princess of a reigning house.
which ranks on an equality with all
royal families in Europe, should marry
simple Baron, especially as in this
case the bridegroom was Catholic
and the Princess Protestant. The
wedding took place privately in the
royal castle on Monday.

MANAGER AGLER RETURNS.
Delayed Passengers Reach This City
ON the Overland Trains.

Manager James Agler of the South
ern Pacific Company, who has been out
on the road for several days directing
the work of raising the snow blockade,
returned to the city yesterday.
He announced that all trains over
the Ogden route are now moving and
that the more serious trouble expe-
rienced in the Sierras had passed.
The first of the blockaded overland
trains arrived In this city yesterday
forenoon. They We're the limited trains,
which were sent ahead of the regular
overlands. The latter arrived last even
ing, the first at 1920 an, two others
shortly after midnight
The passengers had little complaint
to make, fully appreciating the fact
that the railroad company had done
everything possible to bring them
through to their destination and had
had them well cared for during their
thirty-two hours tie-up at Truckee.s
The only great Inconvenience the pas
sengers experienced during the delay
was the want of gas, the supply in the
car tanks having been exhausted, but
a substitute light was finally furnished
in the shape Of candles.

to be suffering from smallpox.
The thirty passengers are now quar-
'antined and the officers and erewsilave

the decision of the Port Simpson dor-
tor as to the nature of the disease.
This news is expected by the Amur

The latest American wonder is a
complete skeleton of the human
nerves, prepared after an incredible
amount of work and patience by DR..
Rufus B. Weaver, professor of anatomy
at the Hahnemann college, Philadel-
phia. There is nothing to equal it in
any museum in the world. The nerves
of the hand, the foot, or some portion
of the human anatomy have been sep
arated from the body and shown in
the same fashion as the remarkable
skeleton made by DR.. Weaver, but no
one has had the patience to prepare a
complete nerve chart, using as the ma
terial the actual nerves withdrawn
from the body. A picture of the nerve
chart has been sent to the Museum of
Medical Curiosities at Lincoln's Inn

chart has been congratulated by the
great surgeons of London on having
built up one Of the most marvellous an

One night a card party took place
there. The players were the present

were high, and luck went against the
Duke. At last the mansion was the
