PITTSBURGH, November 1S.-The limited
express coming east on the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati and st. Louis Railroad, due in
this city at $50 this evening, was wrecked
by land slide at Jones' Ferry at the out
skirts of the city and a number of persons
were injured, none being fatally hurt. The
heavy rains had lossened the earth along
the road.
Just as the train reached Jones' Ferry a,
mass of rock and esrth came tumbling
down from a precipice forty feet above.
The first part or the train escaped, but the
huge mass crushed into the three sleepers
which were in the rear. Immediately fol.
lowing the accident women shrieked and
children scream d, while above all was
hea rd the groans of the injured wedged in
between the berths and rocks, unable to
move. The moment the crash was heard

MISS JEFFREYslLEwIS.
mt the Grand opera
House.

Miss Jeffreys Lewis, than whom no greater
favorite with Los Angeles play-goers treads
the boards of the Grand, appeared last
night in that very interesting modern
drama, "Clothilde." Miss Lewis is sup
ported by all excellent company. taken as a
whole.
Mr., Harry Wyatt, under whose management
the troupe is playing, took especial pains to
set the piece properly. His efforts in thfs
direction were most successful, and for his
care he deserves great commendation. The
setting was in all the scenes really very ap-
propriate, rich, elegant and beautiful.
The dressing Of the piece was no less care
fully and richly done by each person in the
wells of the art of the modiste. The ma
terials were of the richest and the
make of the most elegant Miss Es-
ther Williams and Miss Trella Foltz
were also handsomely dressed. In the title
role Mis- Lewis was quite up to the high
standard which her previous performances

is grace and exp castan. The control over
her features is wonderful. kei' act:essSs

make a wishper go to the furtlest
corner of the house, aud even the slightest
tone is full OF meaning. Her stage presence
is unexcelled, and altogether one has but
to see her to realize why she Is so great
favorte
Miss Williams as "Fernand," and Miss
Foltz as 'Georgette" won marked recog-
milton at the hands of the audience. Miss
Foltz in the absurd jealousy of her role
was irresistibly funny, and Miss Williams
in the abandon of grief proved very affect
ing .
Harry Mainhall as "Andre" maintained
the high esteem he has won here on former
visits, and added new laurels to his crown,
won in a role OF no little merit.
Chas Edmonds played "Pomerol" In q
most acceptable manner, and added largely
