WRECK ON BERKSHIRE.
Pittsfield Express Jumps Track Above
 State Line.

Canaan, aJn. 27.-By the derailment of the express train from New York for Pittsfield leaving this station at 12:03, over the Berkshire division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail road, half a mile from the village of Housatonic, this afternoon, two coach- es were thrown down the bank of the Housatonic river, but did not go into the water.
 The train left Great Harrington at 12:S3 for Stockbridge and the accident apparently occurred a few minutes lat CT, as the point of derailment is at Monument Mill, about four miles north of Great Harrington.
 The train was made up of engine, combination smoker and the two coaches. In the latter were about a dozen passengers, all of whom, it is understood, escaped serious injury. A f1agman brought word of the accident Unto Housatonic and assistance imme- |diately started for the scene. It is un- derstood that one end of the rear coach is at the waters edge.
 The embankment at this point is twelve feet high and one of the coaches was badly damaged. Among those hurt is Eugene Scott, of the Pittsfield Eagle. He is cut about the head. The road is single-track.
 The last coach was occupied by Mir. and Mrs. Walter Bliss, of New York city This was a drawing room car. MT. Bliss was badly shaken up and Mrs. Bliss cut about the face and arms. | nI %, have a summer home, and will return on the next train. This car, according to a message from the wreck, is on the river ice and is slowly sinking. The most seriously hurt is a Lenox woman, whose name has not been learned, as she is unconscious.
 It is understood that the cause of the accident was spreading rails. Trains are held up on both sides of the wreck

SOCIETY MINSTRELS.
Exceptionally sueces-fui Performances
 Lnss Ntght-To be Repeated.

Last Ntght-To be Repeated.
 The society nlinstrels as given in the Foy auditorium os the Y. NJ. c. A building last night. under the auspices of the Bowling club Of the association, was one of the most successful amateur performances ever given in the city, The entire programme was one of rare enjoyment. and the audience present generous applause.
 The first part was very much os a novelty in that one-half of the chorus was composed of ladies, half of whom appeared in black face and the rest in white face. The lady black face artists were typical southern mammies, be- ing decked out in true southern style with red bandanas and long mother hubbards The chorus occupied seats built up in true minstrel style, and the glare of the footlights seemed to feaze the performers not in the least. They were at their work like veterans, and the funny end men handed out" their nlirth- provoking tales and did their stunts in a manner which brought forth great bursts of laughter There was no tendious waits in the movement of the first part, much as is customary of most amateur performances, but ev- erything went along with a swing and a dash which made it great.
 It would be extremely hard to special ize about the several performers, the end men with their songs and jokes, and the chorus work and suffice it to say that it was well night perfect and ex- tremely delightful.
 The olio consisted of the F1oric of the Piekaninnies. fifteen little tots, all less than eight years of age; fancy march, ing chorus by nine young ladies, who appeared in pick costumes which had made a striking appearance. The per- formance concluded with a grand cake walk in which four couples participated and the prize of a fine cake was, given to the couple receiving the greatest ap- Dlause from the audience The great prize was finally awarded to Uneeda Biscuit and Miss Jinjer Wafer.
 The Y M. c. A. orchestra, directed by MI. Haesche, admirably assisted in the programme.
 There should certainly be generous outDouring of the citizens of New Ha- ven who enjoy really good minstrel show on Friday night, and all will rn- doubtedly agree with the opinion of all present last night that the Society min st-els was the best amateur show ever given in the city.

COAL BARGES SUNK.
LIVES OF NINE MEN EXPOSED TO
 GREAT PERIL
In shs Sound on Penhsid Rssf-Rs.eusd with Great DimcnIsy-sisnaIs of Dis- tree Answered from Bridgeport.

Bridgeport. Jan. 27.-Eight 5arges loaded with coal were lost and the lives of nine bargemen were in dire peril for four hours in the Sound. off PenfieId Reef in the storm yesterday afternoon. The coal was consigned to Bridgeport and New Haven. The depth of the water where they sank is so great that it is doubtful if the coal can be saved.
 The barges were in tow of the Me Williams Bleu Line tug E. Lucken- bach. A gale from the northeast struck the tow at 1 o'clock and kicked" up such a sea that the tug could make no headway. Captain Donnelly of the Luekenbach, seeing that he could make no progress, tried to take the men off the nine barges, but in this he was unsuccessful as the barges knocked together and pounded so frightfully that the tow lines holding them together gave way. and when he had only four men off the barges were adrift separately.
 A heavy blanket of snow closed in at 2 o'clock and Captain Donnelly realiz-
 
 ing that the tug alone could not save the barges blew distress signals. They were heard at Black Rock, and Harbor Master Fleming of Bridgeport was mo- Itiffed by telephone. He dispatched the tug Abraham P. Skidmore" to the relief of the distressed tow. It re- quired three hours of the hardest work by both tugs to take off the men, but this was accomplished just as night fell. Then the tugs tried to save the barges, but it could not be done, as there was no one aboard them to make fast line. Reluctantly the captain headed for Bridgeport.
 This afternoon search was made for the barges, but eight of them had zone down. only one, the Florence Marie" being afioat. The aggregate weight of the lost cargo is 4,70O tons.

 The time when Richard Mansfield will arrive this morning has been Mr. G. B. BunneiPs bugbear for many days. The great actor is coming by special train. It sarted early this morning.

 Miss Maude Adams in her new play, ''The Pretty Sister of Jose,'' in which she will be presented by Charles Froh- man for an engagement of two nights, Friday and Saturday this week, por- trays the character of beautiful young Spanish girl in all the varying haughtiness, timidity, wretchedness, de- spair, plaintiveness and so on, but at no time is she flippant or frivolous, and nowhere so loosely impersonated that q masterly hand is not shown by her. Mrs. Burnett's dramatization has WOW en about this character a beautiful story in which every day life is lifted by the stage art to idealistic lines with exquisite artistic blending. Intensity, earnestness and sincerity characterize these productions. The revelation of dramatic power and emotional strength which Miss Adams made in "L'Aiglon has not been forgotten, and as "The Pretty Sister of Jose" calls for exact ly the same high quality of dramatic art, plus the purposeful comedy that enlivens some of the heroine's doings it is reasonable to expect to see Miss Adams at her greatest and best in this role. Good seats still for sale. Prices, $2, $1.5O, $1.

One of the most pretentious produc- tions that toured the country last sea- son was "Her Marriage Vow" which will be given at the Grand Opera house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week with Wednesday matinee. The play met with brilliant success, and it's production here will, no doubt, add new |laurels to it's fame. A special effort was made in the construction of the railroad scene in the third act, which is said to be marvel of stage mechanism. Two full sized express trains, each two hundred feet long, coming from oppo- site directions and running at great speed, pass in plain view of the audi ance

ernnd Opera tIouae.

Escaped from Sing Sing" which comes to the Grand Opera hose to- night for three nights and Saturday matinee is splendid melodrama. From the quiet and repose of an English vil- lage, where villainous plot os concoct- ed, the drmatist takes his audience to New York, and from thence within the grim walls of the New York state pris- on at Sing Sing. It was only the other day that Sam Parks, the celebrated walking delegate of the New York Housesmith's union was taken there, and it is there, also, that Patrick, the lawyer. Mrs. Mack, of the Guldensuppe fame, and many other criminals are confined. To escape from Sing Sing is always an impossibility, but the hero in the melodrama, who is unjustly con fined, does so in most thrilling and sensational manner The production of Escaped from Sing Sing" is one of the handsomest ever made, and the company, which includes Frederick Montague and Fife Burlace Darling, is superior one.

A New Hair Waver.

WOuQcI WHY SOtlcDOuy ullIi think of soft rubber hair curler before. It can't hurt the head or break the hair; 1t is soft and easy and comfortable. and it caresses the hair into shape as no hard shell or iron implement can.
 Besides, there is queer, cling ing warmth about rubber that puts the curl or wave into hair quicker and more permanently than a hot iron can-but without the danger and damage of hot iron.
 We have a demonstration of the Soft Rubber Hair Curler going on now, and it is having a great success.
