EFFIE ELLSLER
At the Opera-h -honse Tuesday, November 20

The appearance of Fife Ellsler at the Opera-house Tuesday evening Nov. 20, will re vive pleasant memo ries among our theater patrons who have SO much enjoyed her past per formances. This talented lady stands today among the greatest of Ameri- can actresses and in the special lines of the domestic drama, is without an equal. Her new play, Doris. in which she so recently appeared with great suscess in New Orleans, will be presented here; Mr. Robert Drouet, is the author, and his work is highly commended. The New Orleans Daily Item saying:
 Miss Fife Ellsler, with her excel lent company opened weeks en- gagement- at the Academy of Music last night in Robert Drouet's .emo- tional play, Doris. The play was written expressly for Miss Ellsler and gives her every opportunity to dis play those talents that have made her dear to the theater-going public.
 ADoris has been seen before in New Orleans, and the story of the drama is familiar to patrons of refined high class productions. Miss Ellsler in the title roll last night renewed old tri- umphs and made fresh eonquests.
 ssAt the end of each act the curtain had to be raised in response to the recalls, while frequently during the progress of the play the applause amounted to almost an interruption in the lines.
 Miss Ellsler, in this character, seems to forget that she is on the stage. She does not know that there is an audience on the other side of the footlights giving eager attention to her artistic portrayal of the sorely beset, true little woman. Her whole life is in the play, and it would be im- possible to make a character more life-like. Supremely indifferent to her audience Miss Ellsler plays the part in that qniet, natural way that makes it appear to all startling. chapter in real life. This easy air pervades the entire piece. and from the time Miss Ellsler appears on the stage with the little basket. of flowers, until the death of her di- vorced husband and final embrace of the brave young squire, the audience ketnly feels the story in all it's vary ing moods. It laughs when Doris

A Charming g Event.

One of the most charming events of the theatrical season this year will
 be the appearance of Miss Fife Els Ter and her splendid company at the opera house tomorrow night. Miss Ellsler is well known in theatrical
 circles in this city, but it has been three years since this charming little actress appeared i'll Pine Bluff, where she is universal favorite. Upon the occasion of her appearance in this city tamorrow night Miss Ellsler will present her new play Doris" which is receiving the highest encomiums from the press wherever it has been presented this season. Miss Ellsler is also strongly supported, among the east being Robert Drouet, the author of the play, Frank Weston, and Miss Sophie Albert. The latter is a lead ing society lady of Chattanooga, Tenn., and is one of the most popular ladies in the South. The Fife Ellsler Company is one of the best attrac- tions of the year, and she should be greeted by a crowded house. Seats now on sale at Hoyler & Nowland's.

laughs, and it truly sympathizes when Doris is i'll distres.
 "Mr. Robert Drouet, the author of the play. is also a familiar figure on the New Orleans stage and needs little introduction i'll the character of Kenneth Ashleigh the young squire. The character is that of a aimpetuous, brave young fellow whose love of Doris is well-nigh divine and who is loyal to her until with her own lips she almost accuses herself of im- proprieties. The character is quiet, manly one and is so produced by this sterling actor. His flashes of passion at the islanders on his fair young wife are particularly strong, while the other emotions in the play are all portrayed in a finished manner that stamps him as an ar list of rare ability.
 "Mr. Frank Weston leaves little room for improvement in the lines of Brian O'Neil, the whole-souled Irish doctor. He maintaines a true dialect throughout. The character is one that wins the hearts of the audience, and as produced by Mir. Weston is a remarkably strong one.
 ..The other members of the company rendered their parts in q creditable manner, and the production was an artistic one.
 During the action of the play Miss Ellsler wears several gowns that are triumph ofmillinery art"
 Don't miss it. At the Opera-house tomorrow night. Seats on sale at Hoyler X Nowland's.

 intended the work of raising the engine and seeing herlanded safe and sound on the bank of the river. These two officials of the road aided not only with their presence and super intendency, but worked like troians for the esuecess of the undertaking.
 The engine was located near the eastern middle pier of bridge, buried in eleven feet of sand. 1t was neces- sary to remove this bed of sand and mud from around the engine. To do this D small stationery engine was placedson barges in the river with
 which jets and sand pipes were put to play upon the buried locomotive.
 The pressure then required to elevate it was 150 tons. A hnge iron hook made of 4-in.h round iron was fastened around the front part of the engine and smaller one at the op- posite end. Two sets of blocks one 15O and the other 200 tons capacity,
 were used. The crab which was located the eastern pier directly under the bridge was the lever that did the raising. The iron bridge that now spans the river was the tfulcrum, and it stood the immense weight brought to bearupon it with out the slightest injury.sA After the fastening had been made by Diver Harry Mallen, who wore q diving suit. the work of elevating the engine began, and, although several acci- dents, such as the breaking of ropes,
 happeneds she was safely landed on
 terra firma last Sunday morning.
 While the work was in progress your correspondent had the pleasure iof visiting the scene of operations on several occasions. On one oc- casion Master. Mechanic Galbraith

THE W. c. T. US.
The Annual Convention Resumes Its
 Sessions.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov 15.--Bright and early this morning the delegates to the annual convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union resumed their labors. Mrs. Shell led the s o'clock prayer meet ing and Mrs. Kate H. Watrous, of Arizona, led the services that opened the convention an hour later. Re ports concerning the condition of the National Temperance Hospital and the Temperance Temple at Chicago, and the publishing auxiliary showed that each enterprise is in decidedly satisfactory condition. Incidentally some of the speakers strongly en- dorsed Miss Willard's declaration that the Boys Brigade, in so far as it encourages the bearing of weapons, is a retrogressiye movement and should not be encouraged by the members of the Union. A supple mental report presented by Miss Willard advocating the establish ment by the Government of indus trial homes for alcoholics was also strongly endorsed. This. afternoon's session was devoted to n reception of Hon. Neal Dow, of Maine.

the engine He pointed out to him one very large rubber tube about ten feet in length which he said was a special order and which cost the company $l60.
 The cost of getting this engine out of Red river will foot up not more than $1,5o0. 1t is estimated that she can be placed ill good running order for $G00. Locomotive engines cost on m average not less than $s,O00, therefore the Cotton Belt railroad, through Messrs. Galbraith, Osborne and Grace, saved their com pany not less than $5,0OO.
 The engine is in good state of preservation. 1t will not only be a historic engine on account of it's fatal fall andits timely rescue, but 1t will also be ever marked in the his tory of railroading as the only en- zine in the United States up to date ever taken out of q bed of quicksand, and there are great many scattered over different parts Of the country quietly resting in such graves, await ing, perhaps, the resurrecting hand of such men as represent the Cotton Belt road.
 It may not be inappropriate tosay that Il silyer-cased watch supposed to be the property of the fireman of the engine, was found by Mir. Grace in the driving box saddle.

RESCUED
AFTER BEING BURIED IN THE SANDS OF RED RIVER FOR THE
 PAST EIGHT YEARS.
A Miraculous Escape Of an Engineer Him self and Engine-LivIng Tesii- moniais of s Most Fear
 ful Accident

On the night of August ., 1887, about 9 o'clock, one of the most fearful accidents in the history of the Cotton Belt road happened at Red river bridge Garland City, Ark E
 A freight train pulled by engine No. l32, Engineer James Atkinson, oi Pine Bluff, in the seat, fell through the iron bridge that then spanned | the river near the above named place. One span of the bridge, sixty feet in length, the engine and tender and five box cars loaded with mis- cellaneous freight fell with an awful crash into the surging river below. The terrific crash produced by the falling timbeis, the heavy engine and the loaded cars reyerberated for miles and miles along the banks of this historic stream and spread con sternation among the inhabitants of Garland City. The miraculous escape from ln awful death by En- gineer Atkinson and his fireman, Flaherty, are the most noted occur rences of that eventful night. Both escaped with their lives, although Engineer Atkinson was seriously in iured. 1t so happened that n bridge crew was stationed at the bridge at the time of the accident, and no sooner were they aware of what had happened than did they put out into the river in boats and skiffs for the purpose of rescuing the bodies of those who had gone down to death. When they reaced the scene of the wreck they found Engineer Atkinson and his fireman clinging to the broken timbers and irons of the bridge projecting above the water. It was found that only these two of the entire train crew had gone down amidst the ruins of the bridge. Just how they escaped death they were unable to explain. Remarkable isit to say that Engineer Atkinson Is to- day the guard and guide of the throttle valve of one of the loeo- motives that pulls the passenger train over this division of the Cotton Belt road, and it is safe to say that the day is not far distant when he will be seen seated in the cab of his old friend, engine No. 132, with his hand upon the mighty lever, skim ming like swift bird in it's rapid flight over this same road and across this majestic river, whose gapping, watery mouth once opened its threatening. jaws and claimed him and his engine as it's victims.
 HOW THE ENGINE WAS RESCUED.
 For the past seven years this ill., fated engine has been sleeping in the channel of Red river, buried in eleven | feet Of sand. Just d little over one month ago Wrecking Master w. H. Grace, of the Cotton Belt, Pine Bluff division. and his crew reported at Red river bridge and forthwith began operations for the resurrection of this engine and today your cores pondent saw her standing on the side-track at Garland City ready to be taken to Pine Bluff for repairs. This was a huge undertaking, bu {
