ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
Los ANGELES, CAL, March 16.-There
has been steady rain throughout Southern
California for four days 1t is the most
serious storm known in many years. Few
trains are running and whole divisions are
tied up. Reports of washouts, landslides,
and wrecks are coming in tonight from all
directions. Two fishermen were drowned at
San Pedro last night
This morning a cloud burst, descended
upon the village of Ventura with terrific
violence. The whole town was flooded.
The water rushed down a canyon, sweeping
away two houses and landing the dead bodies
of two Chinese on the sidewalk in the busi-
ness center of the town. The two houses
belonging to Miss King were carried away
and completely wrecked. S. N. Sheridan's s
house was badly damaged The Southern
Pacific Railroad track was washed away on
Front street.
The damage in Ventura alone will amount
to $50, 900. A big land slide is reported in
the Cajon Pass, on the Santa Fe Railroad,
and eight carloads of Boston excursionists
are delayed in the mountains. Two culverts
and bridge were washed away between
here and Yuma. The San Gabriel river is
rising rapidly tonight and the levees are
overhowing. At this writing it looks as if
the entire lower half of Los Angeles would
be inundated before morning.

THE SIXTH ONE SAVED.
Miner Who Was Rescued After Being
Buried so Hours.

MOUNT CARMEL, March 16. - Peter
Nearshalsky, after so hours of imprison-
ment in the Black Diamond Col
liery, was hoisted to the sur
face at o'clock this afternoon.
His appearance was the signal for cheers
from hundreds of throats, which.were heard
for miles. He had been half buried and
had given up all hope when his rescuers
reached the "breast" in which he was i'm
prisoned.
Strange to say his injuries, aside from his
nervous prostration, are not serious. After
the five men were taken out alive last night
it was supposed that Nearshalsky was dead,
but the search was continued with the re-
suit stated above.
The story of Nearshalsky's escape from
death is a most remarkable one. When the
roof of the mine began to cave, Nearshalsky,
while attempting to escape, was struck by a
piece of coal and fell into hole in which
he was buried to his neck. A great mass of
rock fell Immediately after and one large
piece, hollow in the middle, imprisoned the
miner in a nearly air-tight enclosure. The
man would soon have been sufocated had
not the hollow lump been broken by fall
ing piece of coal. During his long impris-
onment Nearshalskv swooned many times.
Ali that he had to sustain life during his
long imprisonment was the oil in his lamp,
not drop of which remained when he was

THE New American Opera Company seems
to have been appreciated in Boston during sts
recent engagement there as fully as it was In
Pittsburg early in the fall. Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Elson, two of the best critics, credit this
troupe with the best performance OF opera In the
YeInacnlar given in the Hub this season. The
success OF the engagement has led Proprietor
and Director Hinrfcks to arrange for spend
ing the entire summer season in Boston upon
plan OF continuous activity like that he pur-
sued in Philadelphia last summer with such
good results. A troupe completely controlled
by a man of high artistic aims like Mr.. Hin
ricks, is pretty sure to win its way in intelligent
communities. however handicapped by the bus
mess reputation of its predecessors.
THE smaIlness of the hole through which
some people can crawhsh out Of a pred1camsnt
is illustrated in the case of a local scribe who
hypercritically found fault with a correspond
ent's definition of the term ~syncopation," " and
proceeded himself to give what by con-
text and sense must have been intended
for the correct definition. This being shown
to be wrong by another cotemporary. the orig
inal scribe tries to let himself out in this fash
ion: I'VE never defined syncopation, we merely
said what its effect was, but, doubtless, the
Pitts6urg paper read hastily, and SO fell in
trap" He only impales himself upon the other
horn of the dilemma: that he misled his read
ers under the false pretense Of correcting =
definition which, though not technically ex-
pressed, was already substantially correct. The
matter would not be alluded to in this column
except to point out its obvious moral, that
openness and good faith pay better in the long
run than traps" and verbal bubbles.
THE ingenious Patrick Sarsheld Gilmore
throws a halo about his coming spring tour by
announcing it as "a series Of gigantic jubilees"
in commemoration of thetwentieth anniversary
Of the Boston Peace:Jubilee, which event he re-
callsas "the most stupendous musical undertake
ingever conceived by the mind of man" There
Is no undue bashfulness about Patrick. It is
pleasant to remark-upon this, the day
of his patronymic saint-that the ire
pressible son of Erin intends to in
clude Pittsburg in his jubilant tour,
having fixed May and 2 as the dates, and the
Fifth Avenue Music Hall" as the place for
his appearance here. His famous band will be
assisted on this special trip by Signor Cam
panini, Signorina De We're, Mrs. Blache Stone
Barton, Miss Helen Dudley Campbell, Signor
Del Puente and Mr.. Myron W. Whitney. with
possibly some others. In sooth the enterprise
promises well; but would it not be wise, in .
city like Pittsburg, to abandon the crossroads
kind of advance notes. Neither the band nor
the soloists stand in need of grandfloquent
trumpeting-

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
WHEELING, March 16.-A most horrible
and mysterious discovery was made to-day
upon the farm of Samuel Hewitt, in Rich
Hill township, Greene county, Pa, few
miles from Ryerson's station. While
neighbor of Mr.. Hewitt was passing through
small piece of woods, he saw the body Of
man swinging to limb q short distance
away.
Making closer examination he was hor-
rifed at finding that the face and skull Of
the man had been mashed out Of all human
semblance, as though beaten with heavy
hammer. making the remains unrecogniza-
able. There were no evidences of violence
upon other portions of the body. Blood
and brains, however, had ran down over
the clothing and dripped upon the ground
in great clot, making the whole appear
ance of the swaying corpse most horrible
one.
Tied to a small limb close to the corpse
was an old-fashioned horse-pistoI empty.
The alarm was at once given and Justice j.
G. Barker summoned. He impanelled a
jury and the body was cut down. In the
pockets were found six half ounce bullets,
several old musket cartridges, som percus-
sion caps and small paper of powder, but
nothing by means of which Identification
could be established. The man was appar-
emily Young, was well dressed and about
8 feet inches in height. The body had re-
mained in the tree at least "a hours. twill

Two Men Are Fatally Injured bv an Ex-
pIosion Near Greensburg.
A telegraphic dispatch from Manor, Pa,
gives the following account of a terrible gas
explosion near that place yesterday after
noon.
There was a terrible accident this after
noon on the Carnegie pipe line, at Harri-
son City, small town two miles north of
this place, which resulted in the killing of
a man named Magee, of Pittsburg, and the
fatal iniuring of William Rogan. Mr.
james Irwin, of East Liberty, superintend-
ent of the gas line, wished to test part of
the line and sent man to notify the
workmen to vacate the premises, as it was
his intention to turn on the gas. He then
waited till the appointed time and turned
on the gas, but for some unaccountable
reason the men were still at work, some
corking and others making connections
The other workmen and the citizens
of the village became an infuriated
mob and threatened to kill Irwin
but through the efforts of B. B. Kiseller,
constable, they were restrained from doing
him any injury. A. Mr.. Smith, employed
on the line, made information against
Irwin. Justice Shearer issued a warrant
indicting him for murder. Constable
Kiseller has taken him to Greensburg, and
no doubt the Judge will change the indict-
ment to criminal carelessness.
Rogan was brought to the West Penn Hos
pital and died at 1 o'clock this morning.
he was q years old.
Irwin's friends are making a great effort
to have Justice of the Peace Shearer with
draw the charge of murder and substitute
one of manslaughter.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, March 16.-There has come
to THE DISPATCH from a source near to
Miss Mary Anderson definite information
that tends to throw new light on her recent
physical collapse, and to explain. in large
measure, the secret of her sudden pros
tration. 1t is believed, according to these
authorities, that Miss Anderson's nervous
system has partly given way under the con-
slant strain involved by her later work on
the stage, and that her present ill health is
the result Of this trouble. For number of
weeks Miss Anderson has given evidence of
a disturbed nervous system, no less painful
to her friends than notifying to herself.
Miss Anderson is said to have of late
developed a strange and unreasonable habit
of quarreling with her manager over mat
ters of trivial import. These outbreaks
have frequently occurred in the pres
ence of the entire company, on the stage
and at rehearsals At first regarded
merely with surprise-for the actress has
hitherto been conspicuously affable and
diplomatic in her business dealings-they
had recently become more serious, in that
they plainly suggested lack OF control on
Miss Anderson's part that first gave rise to
her friends fears.
Mr.. Abbey went to Baltimore, early last
week, to look over the ground preparatory
to his stars expected resumption of her pro-
fessional labors in that city. It is learned
on the highest authority that though
Miss Anderson was at the depot on
his arrival, she didn't recognize him, and
that when he aecosted her she stoutly de-
INJURED, maintaining in all sincerity that
he had no right to speak to her. She
didn't know him, she said, and she seemed to
be outraged by his presumption. 1t re-
quired some moments to calm her, and a
considerable period elapsed before she
finally recognized Mr.. Abbey. The i'm
preston left upon him by this painful scene
is said to have been discouraging one in
every respect.
