LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. STOBM AND FLOOD. More Heavy Rains Tfce High Waters Continue, and More Coming. "It never rains but it pours " was never more applicable than at thi3 time and the present situation. When the waters in the river had reached and passed the highest previous Hood line, and had commenced to again recede, without damage or serious in- convenience to the re3ident3 of Sacramento, there was verynaturally a spirit of satisfac- tion prevailing that the higher flood line had been reached in safety. Day before yester- day the river again rose to a still higher point, and receded so that yesterday morning it stood at2s feet and 11 inches. Since that time, how- ever, i. has rained almost incessantly, and much of the time not only rained, but water has fallen almost in solid sheets, making the streets all afloat, and the conductors from the eaves of building being insufficient to carry down the torrents that came from the roofs. The rain which fell yesterday and last night would of itself cause high water without pre- vious full banks of tie river, and will now, it is quits probable, serve to give a higher flood- line upon the X street gauge than has yet been reach. unless the numerous breaks in the levees on the opposite side of the river and at other points above and below the city shall have the effect to temporarily prevent it. THE CITY DEFENSES Remain in the same condition as night before last. There is no appearance of the levees being any less secure or firm. No places wera found which required repairs, and the expression of the Trustees last night was that the levees are in perfect condition. Greater watchfulness and caution was exercised than previously, to avoid all possible danger from further rise of the river, or any unforeseen circumstances. The watar inthe south part of the city considerably increased yesterday, largely from the great amount of surface water which gathered from the heavy rains daring the day. The pumps and en- gine at Sixth aDd V streets were being put into position, but were not put into operation ; but it is thought they will be by noon to-day. The water on the outside of the levee at this point raised about IS inches yesterday and on the inside about 0 inches. The water was at one time during the day thought to have got so high on the outside of the Y-street levee at the Burns'slough outlet, at Sixteenth street, that the opening was closed, to prevent back water coming into the city, but it was subse- quently reopened and remained so at last re- port last evening. Considerable surface water accumulated in the eastern part of the city, and efforts were being made to drain it off to the south. Thii will be rendered more diffi- cult if the Burns' slough outlet has to be closed, as it ".ill then have to find its way to the basin at Sixth and V streets, where the pumps are located. BELOW THE CITY. There is but little change in the condition of affairs below the city. The breaks at Me- sick's ranch have been canvassed at the sides, and the openings do not enlarge. The levee between thtre and the city, Mr. Mesick re- ports, is as good as ever, except that it is softer than at the commencement of the flood. The only danger, he says, is from gopher-holes, and less of these are now developing than a few days ago. Only one or two were found yesterday, and these places were repaired. It is more difficult now, however, to make re- pairs of holes caused by these, as the levee has become ao .it that it is not safe to dig down in the center of the levee to find tdrm, aa is usually done, but a small cofferdam of bags of sand has to to be built around a small section on the river side, and then the cut made on that side of the embankment, and bags of earth tilled in. This makes it much slower to overcome breakages which occur, and renders greater care necessary in doing the work. The meet- ing which was appointed to be held at Oak Hall yesterday by the residents of Drainage District No. 1. did not take place, as it was deemed more important for the men to be watching the levees than to attend such meet- in,' while the present danger remains. AN ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT Occurred at the break at Mesick's ranch yes- terday. Two young men, Frank Slack and Jam_s Terrill, endeavored to pass ia a boat over the water running through tha break, when the torrent carried them against a tree, which at Mice broke in one side of the boat and capsized it, throwing them into the cur- rent, which was running at a wild rate of speed, and which was about waist deep. For- tunately the boat lodged against the tree and they clung to the boat and tree. For some time no method could be devised to rescue them, as the current was so strong no boat could roach them in safety, and they could not stand against the current to walkout. Finally Frank Black took two horses, and riding one, led the other into the water about a quarter of _- mile below, aud walked thence up stream so ___ to get the horses used to the water before teaching the strong current. In t;.i. way, after a time, he managed to reach the place where the men were imprisoned by the waters, and took one of them off on the horse in safety, and then returned and got the other, lt was an exceedingly nar- row escape, and terminated more favorably than waa expected for a time, when the boat went to pieces. _.__>;_.. 11!" WATER IS INCREASING In depth ween Sutterville and the city, but does not yet overflow the lands to any very general extent. Mr. Merkley went to Free- port yesterday to see how much the water was limned up there, and had not returned last evening. He will examine to ascertain whether anything can be done in that locality to relieve tiie depth of water now backing up in Drainage District No. 1. below the city. THE AI'FEABANCE AT WASHINGTON Has been changed but very little during the past twenty- four hours. The breaks at Con- rad's ranch, beluw the town, do not enlarge to my considerable extent, as the ground from which the levee was constructed is of very firm nature and resists very strongly the cutting action of the water. The water backed from these breaks toward Washington is now from one to three feet dee)) upon the first ranch immediately above, but Mr. Reed states that no damage will be caused to his fruit crop, if the water subsides and leaves the surface of the ground within a month. During the afternoon considerable wind v:i.s blowing from the southeast, which caused quite heavy waves on that side of the river, and made the water go over tha top of the levee at many places between the Conrad breaks and the railroad bridge. Strenuous efforts were being made to prevent new '.Teaks. Dirt was being wheeled and packed in the crown of the embankment, and the face of the levee was being lined with boards toresist the action of the waves. Above the budge the water was also cutting away badly at places, and a large amount of sand-bags, boards, brush and logs have been placed along the edge to prevent it. At the Point, where the new levee was constructed last fall, the water has cut part way through the embankment, and the face has been deeply covered with bags of sand, and tem- porary spurs constructed to slow the current along the edge. THE HOAGLAND BREAK Is widening, but not so rapidly as waa ex- pected from the slender nature of the levee where it occurred. The torrent rushing through itis fearful, and has filledthe coun- try south of there so that it looks like an in- land sea. The current has not yet reached the new levee on the upper side of the break into probably three or four hundred feet, but as Boon as it does the new embankment will melt before itlike frost before the sun. The levee from the break to Washington is still standing, but is so weak as to be regarded very unsafe to go upon, and is liable at any extra pressure to go at any moment. No efforts are at present being made to protect it. The water on the upper side of Wash- ington, at Hoaaland's residence, and in the southern part of the town, ia from four to six feet deep, but along the front, and where the greater part of the houses are located, it is very _ much less, but boats are the present medium _of travel. There are no other breaks this side of that at Mike Bryte's. The one there is now about 1,000 feet wide, and wearing away at each end very rapidly. The levee is cut away to the bottom. Mr. Bryte yesterday stated that the English break dam is all right thus far. The earthworks at the south end of itis all gone, the break below extend- ing to the bulkhead. He says the ; water which pours over it does not seem to inter- fere in the least with the solidity of the stratum, and he thinks it willstand all right unless the break at the Bide enables the water to cut under it. - .. PUBLIC MEETING OF TAXPAYERS ASD LEADING CITIZENS. : The Board of Trade of the city of Sacra- mento, through itsPresident' and Secretary, called a meeting of the Board yesterday afternoon and invited ] all citizens interested in the subject to attend and consider the \u25a0 question in relation to the present condition of the levees of the city and the subject of drainage. Albert Gallatin, President of the Board, called the meeting to order, and the following resolutions were introduced : 7 P.esolned, That while we regard the levees of Sac- ramento as perfectly secure __&__&_____ any Hood-water likely to come, ifproperly cared for and protected, still it is the sense of this meeting that itis both '. politic and necessary to enter at once upon the for- mation of plans for such enlargement and improve- ment of the levee deft-uses as will place the city be- yond all possible danger from overflow and beyond all question of doubt as to such possibility ; that for this purpose the Board of City Trustees be re- quested to levy a tax annually, in any sum not less than 19 cents on each $100 of assessable prop- erty in the city, and that the sum so raised be de- voted to an annual expenditure for the ultimate completion of the improvements sod extended sys- tem of levee defenses herein suggested. . . liesoleed, That the subject of drainage, as relates to the surface water precipitated inside the levees by rain, is inseparably associated inimportance with the subject of levee defenses, and that the Board of Trustees are hereby requested to levy such sums of money as may be necessary to the perfect drainage of the city, and to the protection of all property within the city limits from damage by reason of the accumulation of such drainage water. The resolutions were discussed and unanimously concurred IN, The meeting manifesting a strong determina- tion to perfect a system of levees which would remove all possible apprehension from the minds of residents and non-residents, and place the city in as fair light before the world as if her city was located on land bo high as to remove ail doubt of her safety from flood. The meeting appointed the Directors of the Boird of Trade as a special committee to wait upon the Trustees and present the fore- going resolutions. The question of necessity of immediate ac- tion was then taken up and discussed. It was conceded that notwithstanding the pre- vailing flood, and that the danger from over- flow or breakage of the levees is not immi- nent, still, as ' a necessary precaution against the contingency of possible future danger during storms yet to occur this winter, a Committee of Safety, to act in conjunction with the Trustees on the present occasion and during the remainder of the season, was ap- pointed, consisting of John T. Carey, Daniel Flint, J. H. Carroll, John McNeill. E. K. Aleip and Edward Cadwalader. The com- mittee was instructed to enter upon its duty in aid of the Board of Trustees last night. After further suggestions and instructions to the committee the meeting adjourned. A meeting OF the committee Was held at the office of John T. Carey at 7:30 in the evening, in company withMayor Turner and Trustee Davis. The entire situ- ation was discussed. The Trustees reported that in their opinion the" levees were entirely safe ; that allnecessary precautions had been taken : that fire patrolmen were on the north levee and five on the Front street ; that they had sacks in plenty for use in case of neces- sity, but they were not- filled, nor had they been taken to the north levee. The only troublesome point concerning which the Trustees felt any apprehension is opposite the Hooker place, where the sipage and softening of the ground indicates quick- sand. The Trustees announced themselves ready to do anything deemed absolutely nec- essary by the citizens, but thought they had already taken sufficient precautions. Mr Davis, however, positively refused to do any- thing officially on the levee below Vstreet, as itis outside the city limits, and because that district last spring abruptly refused proffered aid from his department. The feeling was that the section of levee below V street should be closely watched and repaired where necessary. The Trustees further stated that the railroad company had four car loads of filled sacks ready for use, and the Trustees had sufficient sacks filledat the Y-street levee for use at Burns' Slough. The opinion was general that it would be advisable to have sacks filled and in position at various parts upon the north levee, and that it was desirable to LARGELY increase the PATROL On this line and on V street. It was finally concluded to adjourn until half-past 9 o'clock this morning, to meet at the same place. At this morning's meeting a full report of the condition c f the levees will be laid before the meeting. As the meeting wa3 about to adjourn, a messenger came in and reported that there was a soft place on the Front-street levee near the gas-work?, and that sacks were needed. Mayor Turner and members of the committee immediately went to the place and found that some cattle were unloaded there from a steamer, and had mired in a small spot on the side of the levee, above which were four feet of rip-rap work, and that there was no cause for alarm. The spot was sacked tomake it firm. The mem- bers of the committee, accompanied by a rep- resentative of the Record-Union, made a trip along Front street and as far out on the north levee as Twelfth street. The water was found to be well up on Front street, but would easily stand at the lowest point a foot more. At the X street gauge at 10:30 the water registered _!t. feet and 2 inches, being then THE HIGHEST WATER EVER KNOWN IN SAC- RAMENTO. At Seventh street the back-water of the American was exactly 41 inches below the crown of the levee, and was Black. From there to Twelfth street the levee gradually rose higher above the water, and at the lat- ter point the crest was 5 feet 9 inches below the crown of the levee. There was a slack current of water over the planks of the Twelfth-street bridge, and which was rising. At this point the committee met officer Rider, who had walked the levee from Eighteenth street, and reported all well. The condition of the outer slope of the levee, as far as the committee went, showed it to be rough and gullied, and that in the whole stretch there is comparatively little of the face which is smooth or so sloping as to entirely resist a wash in case a strong north wind blows with high water. It is a strong, broad levee, but its outer slope is not calcu- lated to receive wave force without damage. The rainfall yesterday up to 8 o'clock last evening was 1.72 inches. The maximum thermometer was 02 3 , and the minimum 56°. A dispatch received last evening from Fol- aom stated that it was raining very hard at that place. The river had raised eight feet yesterday and marked 22 feet, and was rising rapidly. It was also rticing at Latrobe, Shingle Springs and Placerville. At 2 o'clock this morning the sky was again entirely clouded over and rain threat- ened. It was raining at all points on the line of the railroad over the mountains, ex- cept at Summit, where it was snowing. At 2:10 this morning the water at the K-street gauge marked TWENTY-SIX FEET FOUR AND A .HALF INCHES, Being the highest water ever known in Sacramento, and the " oldest in- habitant " has no desire to sea it higher. The wharf was submerged and persons had to wade to look at theK-street rain gauge. A terrible roaring was also heard on the Washington side in the direc- tion of about opposite the foot of O street, and it was supposed Reed's levee had broken away. At 10 o'clock last night the sky suddenly cleared and the stars and moon came out bright and the windshifted to the west. At 1 o'clock this morning it darkened around the entire horizon, and the only stars remain- ing to be seen were directly overhead, and the indications pointed tomore rain. THE CONDITION OF THE BAILBOADS Is not at all improved since last report, and greater damages are found to have occurred at many points than was at first supposed. Itis believed that the track is not only sub- merged for a distance of some four miles be- tween here and Davis, but that considerable of the track and embankment is also gone. This cannot be definitely ascertained, how- ever, until the water is several feet lower. Meantime the damages are extending by the action of the strong current from the breaks above, which send down a terrific volume of water directly across this line of road. The railroad company yesterday leased to Leavitt Todhunter several hand-cars, which he will use to take passengers from Washing- ton as far towards Davisville on the Califor- nia Pacific as the track is not under water, from which point they will be transferred in Whitehall boats across to Davisville. He will commence taking passengers between these points this morning, and make two or three trips each way per day. Trains are running on all the branches beyond Davis- ville, and persons will thus be enabled to get back and forth between various places inthat direction as usual. The Central Pacific east, the J Placerville road and the Western Division are uninjured. At Gridley, on the Oregon Division, a large amount of track was submerged and carried away, dwellings were swept away and fam- ilies rescued in boats. ' 1 ; 7 Pebsonal.— Judge Robert Thompson, G. W. C. T. of Good Templars, and W. O. Clark, P. G. W. P., Sons of Temperance, are at present in the city, in the interest of local option. Drury Melone, ex-Chief Jus- tice Wallace, Warden J. P. Ames, and Pro- fessor E. C. Taylor, were inthe city yester- day. Lecture Postponed.

Where the Federal Gov- ernment has authority, as upon the sea, lakes, rivers, oVer forts and arsenals, over the army and navy, in the legislation for commerce, international and internal, espe- cially in regard to infected vessels, over animals exported and imported, this au- thority belongs to Congress. It has been proved, I think, after the most laborious investigations for nearly two centuries past in this country, that the epidemics appear- ing among us have been traced to importa- tions. If epidemics in this and other gulf cities seem to disprove this fact, the seeming exception is due to the bad sani- tary condition of the localities named, or to the fact, as stated by Dr. ' Vanderpoel, to the germs of disease concealed and dor- mant insome cellar or room not reached by the purifying air of heaven in the place where the disease exists. The port of New York, for four months of the year,' has been as much exposed as New Orleans to yellow fever, and it has been kept away from New York, not by any system of non- intercourse, but simply by the practice of correct principles of quarantine by vigilant and capable officers of the State.

Marysville, February 3d— lo a. m.—The river rose two feet since the last report, and is ' still rising rapidly. Higher water than last Sunday is anticipated by night. Reports from the north say there is no abatement of the storm, and the streams are all full. It rained here nearly all night. At this hour no rain is falling, but the clouds and wind indi- cate that the storm is not over. The weather is warm, the thermometer marking G2°. More apprehension prevails now of the city's inun- dation than on Sunday, The business houses, banks, etc., are closed. ,-..,.. [SECOND DISPATCH.] Marysville— 2:3o[p. m.— has commenced raining again. The river is still rising, and now only lacks ten inches of being as high as last Sunday. Feather riveris not so high as tha Yuba, but is rising more rapidly. Re- ports are just at hand from points above us, giving us no encouragement ot an abatement of the storm. It is still raining, and the streams are higher than at any previous flood. The levees are fullymanned, and there are no signs of weakening, though the test will come to-night. A train from Redding is reported ditched between Nelson's and Biggs Station. The water is over the track at Gridley. [THIRD DISPATCH.] Marysville— 6 p. it.— rained steadily all the afternoon, and still continues. The river now lacks onlysix inches of being as high as on Sunday, and is rising about 11 inches per hour. The city levees are well looked after, and are said now to be capable of resisting the great pressure which will un- doubtedly be brought against them before morning. Feather river has been rising rapidly all this afternoon ; but littleback water in the Yuba is reported. The bridge at Oroville has been washed away. Strong hopes are now entertained of saving the city from inundation, although the rise may ex- ceed that of Sunday a foot. The Sutter county levees not heretofore reported broken are allintact. [FOURTH DISPATCH.] Marysville— p. m.—The Yuba river is now as high as it was Sunday, and about at a stand still. The rain has ceased, and the worst is over. The city levee is intact, and our people are more hopeful. ' >'. [FIFTH DISPATCH.] Marysville— a. m.— river at this hour rnarka 17 feet 11 inches, and rising. Hundreds of men are on the grade fighting the water, and may keep it out. They have plenty of materials, but are calling>/or more men, and say with plenty of workers the city can be saved. Wheatland. Wheatland— p. m.—Since the last re- port we have been visited with another storm. It has raine1 about ten hours out of the last twenty-four. The streams are all high. Bear river has raised several feet. All the small streams are running very high. The railroad company are experiencing great difficulty in repairing the track, owing to the rise of the water, which spreads out for a quarter of a mile. The suspension bridge at McUourtney's crossing fell yesterday, while a band of 100 sheep were crossing. The loss will be in the neighborhood of 53, 000. Placerville. _C_______<______SV-__-___ 4 p. ji. Tl.a river at Co- loma is rising very rapidly. There is a large amount of drift wood. It lias been raining hard for the last two hours, and lightly all the morning. The river will be as high or higher than it was the first of the week, when it swept away Coloma bridge. Thermome- ter, _-_\u25a0"_ The streams in this vicinity are not so high as last Sunday. It is raining now quite heavily and promises to continue. Court laud. Courtland— A.m.— has been raining here since 3a. m. The wind is in the south. Merritt Island is all under. The water is over the levees for miles. The damage to al- falfa fields and stock will be great. The river is now two inches higher than in 1868, and about equal to the 1862 flood here. The river is still rising, and lacks only a few inches of going over the levees on the east side. We will have to work hard to-day to keep it out. [SECOND DISPATCH.] Cocrtland— l2 m.— Grand Island levee broke this morning on Steamboat Slough, near Walker's Landing, near where it broke in 1878. There is no chance of stopping the break. The damage to orchards and veg- etable lands on the inland willbe immense. The vast number cf breaks above and below Sacramento city, on the west side of the river, has filled the tule land to such an ex- tent that when the levee on MerrittIsland, opposite this place, broke, the water being higher in the tule than in the river, caused the river to rise rapidly here, and there is great danger of its overflowing the levee on this side. If the river continues to rise, it will be impossible to prevent its going over. ,„ . [THIRD DISPATCH.] Courtland C p. it. It has been raining here off and on since 3 a. si. It has settled into a hard and steady rain cow, and looks as though itmeant it. The river is rising rap- idly, and it is impossible to prevent its going over the levee on this side. It will go over in a few hours. It is up to the top of the levee here. i The damage to orchards will be great. There are several hundred head of cattle on Merritt Island standing in water now, that will be drowned if not taken off. Farmers are sending for steamers to ' take their stock and grain off. Downieville. Downieville— -4 p. m. There was a con- tinuous and heavy rainfall all night and to- day. The streams are higher than since the flood of 1861. Durgan Flat bri Je was swept down the J river with : a deafening crash at a quarter past 6 this morning, after , the two main and center piers successfully withstand- ing for hours the ceaseless battering of logs and the millrace current of the raging Yuba. The storm stillJ continues. t The mercury marks 54°. The North and South Forks are filled with wrecks of dams, cabins, sawmills, and allmanner of debris. J No loss of life or personal injury has occurred so far as known. Bedding. Redding— loa. m.—The Sacramento river has reached its ' greatest hight this morning, being higher . than it was in the \u25a0 winter of 1861-2. The cable atßeid'a ferry, near town, was carried away last night and all the prop- erty on the low lands has been greatly dam- aged. Reports received from the mountains | say it is a general J rain.

H. C. Kirk & Co., agents, Sacramento. A New Motor. A recent French in- vention of considerable interest 13 an im- proved motive-power engine, worked by means of atmospheric pressure under the effect of barometric vacuum. By means of two connecting rods, a shaft receives a ro- tary motion produced by the action of two parallel cylinders. Kaon cylinder is closed at one end, and communicates with an os- cillating cylinder in the form of a U, which may be placed cither horizontally or verti- cally. When itis placed horizontally and filled with mercury, as wella3 the motive cylinder, the piston is at the end of the cylinder ; the oscillating cylinder is then placid in the vertical position, the mercury falls, and the barometric vacuum being pro- duced, the piston pushed by the atmospheric pressure re-enters the fixed cylinder. The oscillating cylinder then again takes a hori- zontal position, and the mercury re-enter- ing the fixed cylinder, the piston moves in a contrary direction. The second fixed cylinder is so placed that its position and that of the second oscillating cylinder are the reverse of the cylinder. Counter weights equilibrate the weight of the U- -Bh3ped cylinder full of mercury. r-P;p:,r ..

This fact explains the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Wel De Meyer's new inocula- tive treatment. The element, used by him are absorbed by the mucous membrane throughout the system and form a constitutional as well as local antidote, as certain to care Catarrh as vaccine virus is to prevent small-pox. Its unpre- cedented sale with unsolicited testimonials from many thousands who, at all stages of the disease, have been eared by this wonderful remedy, establish beyond contradiction the fact that TVel De Weyer's Catarrh Cure is the most im- portant medical discovery since vaccine.* ADVEETISEMENT.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.STOBM AND FLOOD.

More Heavy Rains Tfce High WatersContinue, and More Coming.

"Itnever rains but it pours"

was never

more applicable than at thi3 time and thepresent situation. When the waters in theriver had reached and passed the highestprevious Hood line, and had commenced toagain recede, without damage or serious in-

convenience to the re3ident3 of Sacramento,

there was verynaturally a spirit of satisfac-

tionprevailing that the higher flood linehadbeen reached insafety. Day before yester-day the riveragain rose to a stillhigher point,

and receded so that yesterday morning itstoodat2s feet and 11 inches. Since that time, how-ever, i. has rained almost incessantly, andmuch of the time not only rained, but waterhas fallen almost insolid sheets, making thestreets all afloat, and the conductors from theeaves of building being insufficient to carrydown the torrents that came from the roofs.The rain which fell yesterday and last night

wouldof itself cause high water withoutpre-vious fullbanks of tie river, and willnow, itisquits probable, serve to give a higher flood-line upon the X street gauge than has yetbeen reach. unless the numerous breaks inthe levees on the opposite side of the riverandat other points above and below the city shallhave the effect to temporarily prevent it.

THE CITY DEFENSES

Remain in the same condition as night beforelast. There is no appearance of the leveesbeing any less secure or firm. No placeswera found which required repairs, and theexpression of the Trustees last night was thatthe levees are in perfect condition. Greaterwatchfulness and caution was exercised thanpreviously, to avoid allpossible danger fromfurther rise of the river, or any unforeseencircumstances. The watar inthe south partof the city considerably increased yesterday,largely from the great amount of surfacewater whichgathered from the heavy rainsdaring the day. The pumps and en-gine at Sixth aDd V streets werebeing put into position, but werenot put into operation ; but it isthought they willbe by noon to-day. Thewater on the outside of the levee at thispoint raised about ISinches yesterday and onthe inside about 0 inches. The water was atone time during the day thought to have gotso high on the outside of the Y-street leveeat the Burns'slough outlet, at Sixteenth street,that the opening was closed, to prevent backwater coming into the city, but itwas subse-quently reopened and remained so at last re-port last evening. Considerable surface wateraccumulated in the eastern part of the city,and efforts were being made to drain itoff tothe south. Thii willbe rendered more diffi-cult if the Burns' slough outlet has to beclosed, as it".illthen have to findits way tothe basin at Sixth and Vstreets, where thepumps are located.

BELOW THE CITY.There is but little change in the condition

of affairs below the city. The breaks at Me-sick's ranch have been canvassed at the sides,and the openings do not enlarge. The leveebetween thtre and the city, Mr. Mesick re-ports, is as good as ever, except that itis softerthan at the commencement of the flood. Theonly danger, he says, is from gopher-holes,and less of these are now developing than afew days ago. Only one or two were foundyesterday, and these places were repaired.Itis more difficultnow, however, to make re-pairs of holes caused by these, as the leveehas become ao .it that it is not safe to digdown in the center of the levee to findtdrm, aa is usually done, but a smallcofferdam of bags of sand has toto be built around a small section onthe riverside, and then the cut made on that side ofthe embankment, and bags of earth tilled in.This makes it much slower to overcomebreakages which occur, and renders greatercare necessary in doing the work. The meet-ing which was appointed to be held at OakHall yesterday by the residents of DrainageDistrictNo. 1. didnot take place, as it wasdeemed more important for the men to bewatching the levees than to attend such meet-in,' while the present danger remains.

AN ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT

Occurred at the break at Mesick's ranch yes-terday. Two young men, Frank Slack andJam_s Terrill, endeavored to pass ia a boatover the water running through tha break,when the torrent carried them against a tree,which at Mice broke in one side of the boatand capsized it, throwing them into the cur-rent, which was running at a wildrate ofspeed, and which was about waist deep. For-tunately the boat lodged against the tree andthey clung to the boat and tree. For sometime no method could be devised to rescuethem, as the current was so strong no boatcould roach them in safety, and they couldnot stand against the current to walkout.Finally Frank Black took two horses, andriding one, led the other into the water abouta quarter of _- mile below, aud walked thenceup stream so ___ to get the horses used to thewater before teaching the strong current. Int;.i. way, after a time, he managed to reachthe place where the men were imprisonedby the waters, and took one of them off onthe horse in safety, and then returned andgot the other, lt was an exceedingly nar-row escape, and terminated more favorablythan waa expected for a time, when the boatwent to pieces. _.__>;_..

• 11!" WATER IS INCREASING

Indepth ween Sutterville and the city,butdoes not yet overflow the lands to any verygeneral extent. Mr. Merkley went to Free-port yesterday to see how much the waterwas limned up there, and had not returnedlast evening. He willexamine to ascertainwhether anything can be done inthat localityto relieve tiie depth of water now backing upin Drainage District No. 1. below the city.

THE AI'FEABANCEAT WASHINGTON

Has been changed but very little during thepast twenty- four hours. The breaks at Con-rad's ranch, beluw the town, do not enlargeto my considerable extent, as the groundfrom which the levee was constructed is ofvery firmnature and resists very strongly thecutting action of the water. The waterbacked from these breaks toward Washingtonis now from one to three feet dee)) upon thefirstranch immediately above, but Mr. Reedstates that no damage will be caused to hisfruit crop, if the water subsides and leavesthe surface of the ground within a month.

During the afternoon considerable windv:i.s blowing from the southeast, which

caused quite heavy waves on that side of theriver, and made the water go over tha topof the levee at many places between theConrad breaks and the railroad bridge.Strenuous efforts were being made to preventnew '.Teaks. Dirt was being wheeled andpacked in the crown of the embankment, andthe face of the levee was being lined withboards toresist the action of the waves.

Above the budge the water was also cuttingaway badly at places, and a large amount ofsand-bags, boards, brush and logs have beenplaced along the edge to prevent it. At thePoint, where the new levee was constructedlast fall, the water has cut part way throughthe embankment, and the face has beendeeply covered with bags of sand, and tem-porary spurs constructed to slow the currentalong the edge.

THE HOAGLAND BREAK

Is widening, but not so rapidly as waa ex-pected from the slender nature of the leveewhere it occurred. The torrent rushingthrough itis fearful, and has filledthe coun-try south of there so that it looks like an in-land sea. The current has not yet reachedthe new levee on the upper side of the breakinto probably three or four hundred feet, butas Boon as itdoes the new embankment willmelt before itlike frost before the sun. Thelevee from the break to Washington is stillstanding, but is so weak as to be regardedvery unsafe to go upon, and is liable at anyextra pressure to go at any moment. Noefforts are at present being made to protectit. The water on the upper side of Wash-ington, at Hoaaland's residence, and inthe southern part of the town, iafrom four to six feet deep, but along thefront, and where the greater part ofthe houses are located, it is very _ muchless, but boats are the present medium _oftravel. There are no other breaks this sideof that at Mike Bryte's. The one there isnow about 1,000 feet wide, and wearing awayat each end very rapidly. The levee is cutaway to the bottom. Mr.Bryte yesterdaystated that the English break dam is allright thus far. The earthworks at the southend of itis all gone, the break below extend-ing to the bulkhead. He says the ;waterwhichpours over it does not seem to inter-fere in the least with the solidity of thestratum, and he thinks itwillstand all rightunless the break at the Bide enables the waterto cut under it.

- ..PUBLIC MEETING OF TAXPAYERS ASD LEADING

CITIZENS. :The Board of Trade of the city of Sacra-

mento, through itsPresident' and Secretary,called a meeting of the Board yesterdayafternoon and invited ]all citizens interestedin the subject to attend and consider the

\u25a0 question in relation to the present conditionof the levees of the city and the subject ofdrainage. Albert Gallatin, President of theBoard, called the meeting to order, and thefollowingresolutions were introduced :7

P.esolned, That while we regard the levees of Sac-ramento as perfectly secure __&__&_____ any Hood-waterlikely tocome, ifproperly cared for and protected,still itis the sense of this meeting that itis both

'. politic and necessary to enter at once upon the for-mation of plans for such enlargement and improve-ment of the levee deft-uses as willplace the city be-yond all possible danger from overflow and beyondall question of doubt as to such possibility ;thatfor this purpose the Board of City Trustees be re-quested to levya tax annually, in any sum not lessthan 19 cents on each $100 of assessable prop-erty in the city, and that the sum so raised be de-voted to an annual expenditure for the ultimatecompletion of the improvements sod extended sys-tem of levee defenses herein suggested. . .liesoleed, That the subject of drainage, as relatesto the surface water precipitated inside the leveesby rain, is inseparably associated inimportance withthe subject of levee defenses, and that the Board ofTrustees are hereby requested to levysuch sums ofmoney as may be necessary to the perfect drainageof the city, and to the protection of all propertywithin the city limits from damage byreason of theaccumulation of such drainage water.

The resolutions were discussed andunanimously concurred IN,

The meeting manifesting a strong determina-tion to perfect a system oflevees which wouldremove all possible apprehension from theminds of residents and non-residents, andplace the city in as fair light before theworld as if her city was located on land bohigh as to remove ail doubt of her safetyfrom flood.

The meeting appointed the Directors of theBoird of Trade as a special committee towait upon the Trustees and present the fore-going resolutions.

The question of necessity of immediate ac-tion was then taken up and discussed. Itwas conceded that notwithstanding the pre-vailing flood, and that the danger from over-flow or breakage of the levees is not immi-nent, still, as

'a necessary precaution against

the contingency of possible future dangerduring storms yet to occur this winter, aCommittee of Safety, to act in conjunctionwith the Trustees on the present occasion andduring the remainder of the season, was ap-pointed, consisting of John T. Carey, DanielFlint, J. H. Carroll, John McNeill. E. K.Aleip and Edward Cadwalader. The com-mittee was instructed to enter upon its dutyinaid of the Board of Trustees last night.

After further suggestions and instructionsto the committee the meeting adjourned.

A meeting OF the committeeWas held at the office of John T. Carey at7:30 in the evening, in company withMayorTurner and Trustee Davis. The entire situ-ation was discussed. The Trustees reportedthat in their opinion the" levees were entirelysafe ;that allnecessary precautions had beentaken :that firepatrolmen were on the northlevee and five on the Front street ;that theyhad sacks in plenty for use in case of neces-sity, but they were not- filled,nor had theybeen taken to the north levee.

The only troublesome point concerningwhich the Trustees felt any apprehension isopposite the Hooker place, where the sipageand softening of the ground indicates quick-sand. The Trustees announced themselvesready to do anything deemed absolutely nec-essary by the citizens, but thought they hadalready taken sufficient precautions. MrDavis, however, positively refused to do any-thing officiallyon the levee below Vstreet, asitis outside the city limits, and because thatdistrict last spring abruptly refused profferedaid from his department. The feeling was thatthe section of levee below Vstreet should beclosely watched and repaired where necessary.The Trustees further stated that the railroadcompany had four car loads of filled sacksready for use, and the Trustees had sufficientsacks filledat the Y-street levee for use atBurns' Slough. The opinion was general thatitwould be advisable to have sacks filledandinposition at various parts upon the northlevee, and that itwas desirable to

LARGELY increase the PATROL

On this line and on Vstreet. Itwas finallyconcluded to adjourn until half-past 9 o'clockthis morning, to meet at the same place. Atthis morning's meeting a full report of thecondition c f the levees willbe laid before themeeting.

As the meeting wa3 about to adjourn,a messenger came in and reportedthat there was a soft place on theFront-street levee near the gas-work?,and that sacks were needed. Mayor Turnerand members of the committee immediatelywent to the place and found that some cattlewere unloaded there from a steamer, and hadmired in a small spot on the side of the levee,above which were four feet of rip-rap work,and that there was no cause for alarm. Thespot was sacked tomake it firm. The mem-bers of the committee, accompanied by a rep-resentative of the Record-Union, made atrip along Front street and as far out on thenorth levee as Twelfth street. The waterwas found to be wellup on Front street, butwould easily stand at the lowest point a footmore. At the X street gauge at 10:30 thewater registered _!t. feet and 2 inches, beingthenTHE HIGHEST WATER EVER KNOWN IN SAC-

RAMENTO.At Seventh street the back-water of the

American was exactly 41 inches below thecrown of the levee, and was Black. Fromthere to Twelfth street the levee graduallyrose higher above the water, and at the lat-ter point the crest was 5 feet 9 inches belowthe crown of the levee. There was a slackcurrent of water over the planks of theTwelfth-street bridge, and which was rising.At this point the committee met officerRider, who had walked the levee fromEighteenth street, and reported all well.

The condition of the outer slope of thelevee, as far as the committee went, showedit to be rough and gullied, and that in thewhole stretch there is comparatively little ofthe face which is smooth or so sloping as toentirely resist a wash incase a strong northwindblows with high water. Itis a strong,broad levee, but its outer slope is not calcu-lated to receive wave force without damage.

The rainfall yesterday up to 8 o'clock lastevening was 1.72 inches. The maximumthermometer was 023,and the minimum 56°.

Adispatch received last evening from Fol-aom stated that itwas raining very hard atthat place. The river had raised eight feetyesterday and marked 22 feet, and wasrising rapidly. It was also rticing atLatrobe, Shingle Springs and Placerville.

At 2 o'clock this morning the sky wasagain entirely clouded over and rain threat-ened. It was raining at allpoints on theline of the railroad over the mountains, ex-cept at Summit, where it was snowing. At2:10 this morning the water at the K-streetgauge markedTWENTY-SIX FEET FOUR AND A .HALF INCHES,

Being the highest water ever knownin Sacramento, and the

"oldest in-

habitant"

has no desire to sea ithigher. The wharf was submergedand persons had to wade tolookat theK-streetrain gauge. A terrible roaring was alsoheard on the Washington side in the direc-tion of about opposite the footofO street, andit was supposed Reed's levee had brokenaway.

At10 o'clock last night the sky suddenlycleared and the stars and moon came outbright and the windshifted to the west. At1o'clock this morning it darkened aroundthe entire horizon, and the only stars remain-ing to be seen were directly overhead, and theindications pointed tomore rain.

THE CONDITION OF THE BAILBOADS

Is not at all improved since last report, andgreater damages are found to have occurredat many points than was at first supposed.Itis believed that the track is not only sub-merged for a distance of some four miles be-tween here and Davis, but that considerableof the track and embankment is also gone.This cannot be definitely ascertained, how-ever, until the water is several feet lower.Meantime the damages are extending by theaction of the strong current from the breaksabove, which send down a terrific volume ofwater directly across this line of road.

The railroad company yesterday leased toLeavitt Todhunter several hand-cars, whichhe willuse totake passengers from Washing-ton as far towards Davisville on the Califor-nia Pacific as the track is not under water,from which point they willbe transferred inWhitehall boats across to Davisville. Hewill commence taking passengers betweenthese points this morning, and make two orthree trips each way per day. Trains arerunning on all the branches beyond Davis-ville, and persons willthus be enabled to getback and forth between various places inthatdirection as usual.

The Central Pacific east, the J Placervilleroad and the Western Division are uninjured.At Gridley, on the Oregon Division, a largeamount of track was submerged and carriedaway, dwellings were swept away and fam-ilies rescued in boats.

A New Motor. A recent French in-vention of considerable interest 13 an im-proved motive-power engine, worked bymeans of atmospheric pressure under theeffect of barometric vacuum. Bymeans oftwo connecting rods, a shaft receives a ro-tary motion produced by the action of twoparallel cylinders. Kaon cylinder is closedat one end, and communicates with an os-cillating cylinder in the form of a U, whichmay be placed cither horizontally or verti-cally. When itis placed horizontally andfilled with mercury, as wella3 the motivecylinder, the piston is at the end of thecylinder ; the oscillating cylinder is thenplacid in the vertical position, the mercuryfalls, and the barometric vacuum being pro-duced, the piston pushed bythe atmosphericpressure re-enters the fixed cylinder. Theoscillating cylinder then again takes a hori-zontal position, and the mercury re-enter-ing the fixed cylinder, the piston movesin a contrary direction. The second fixedcylinder is so placed that its position andthat of the second oscillating cylinder arethe reverse of the cylinder. Counterweights equilibrate the weight of the U--Bh3ped cylinder full of mercury.

local remedy, like douches and insoluble snuffs,can possibly reach or eradicate the virulent sporuhsof Catarrh. This fact explains the wonderful cureseffected by Dr. Wel De Meyer's new inocula-tive treatment. The element, used by him areabsorbed by the mucous membrane throughoutthe system and form a constitutional as well aslocal antidote, as certain to care Catarrh asvaccine virus is to prevent small-pox. Its unpre-cedented sale with unsolicited testimonials frommany thousands who, at all stages of the disease,have been eared by this wonderful remedy,establish beyond contradiction the fact that TVelDe Weyer's Catarrh Cure is the most im-portant medical discovery since vaccine.*
