THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1896. ; HARRIET BEECHER STOWE IS DEAD Talented Authoress Passes Peacefully Away. HER DEATH PAINLESS. > The Literary Works That Gained for Her a World-Wide Reputation. STORY OF AN EVENTFUL LIFE. “Uncle Tom's Cabin” Did a Great Deal to Further the Emancipa- tion of Slaves. HARTFORD, Coxx., July 1.—Mrs. Har- riet Beecher Stowe, the gifted authoress of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” “Dred,” and other works of world-wide reputation, died at her home, 73 Forest street, at noon to-day without regaining consciousness. She passed peacefully away as though in a deep sleep. By her bedside at the time were her son, her two da: her maz- ried sister, her husband, Dr. Edward Hooker, her nephew, who was also her medical attendant, and other relatives. Her illness was culmination of a mental derangement from which Mrs. Stowe has suffered for years, tenderly cared for by her two daughters. Ttisa .Jong time since she has been able to do literary work, and for the past two years her condition has been such that the worst might be expected atany time. Of this, however, the public has not been generally aware. A trained nurse has been in constant attendance upon Mrs. Stowe. She walked about in company with her patient through the garden grounds every morning. Mrs. Stowe exhibited considerable vigor for ber years, physically, and always bad a smile for her friends. She repeated one of her poems recently, and there have been moments when her intellect was still unciouded, and it was only of late that her power of speech was affected. She was able to guide a p2n with the as- sistance of one of her daughters not long ago. All in all, she has been a physiological marvel, as she lived in a house filled with mementos of days when she moved nations and people from every quarter of the globe paid tribute to her greatness with souvenirs of the most precious kind. Saturday, June 13, she was 85 years of age. Last Friday morning her attendant, Mrs. Arms, when she went to call her, found that she was in a semi-conscious condition. Her nephew, Dr. Edward B. Hooker, and his sister, Mrs. Isabella Beecher-Hooker, were called, and the mat- tor was kebt a secret till last night to avoid the annovance of inquiries that were sure to come from ali parts of the country. The cause of Mrs. Stowe’sillness was con- gestion of the brain with partial paralysis. Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in Litchfield, Conn., June 14, 1812. Her father was the Rev. Dr. Lyman Beecher. At the death of her mother Mrs. Stowe was placed under the care of her grand- mother at Guilford, Conn. Here, when quite a young girl, she snowed a great interest in the ballads of Walter Scott and the péems of Robert Burns. The Arabian Nightsalso fascinated her. When a schoolgirl of 12, she wrote a logical essay on the theme, *‘Can the im- mortality of the soul be proved from the light of nature?” Many of her father’s sermons were on the sin of slavery, and from her earliest youth Mrs. Stowe was taught to abhor human bondace. In January, 1836, she married Calvin Ellis Stowe, = Massachusetts clergyman. She frequently visited the Southern States, and was thoroughly acquainted with the slave methodsin vogue there. Her book entitled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly,” created a big sensa- tion. Itopened the eyes of the Northern people and did much toward the eman- cipation of the slaves. Her best literary effort wascalled “The Minister's Wooing.”” James Russell Lowell praised it very much. Mrs. Btowe also wrote a number of other works which have been higiily commended.

Maguire, California is ably represented in the Congressional halls of the Nation. Either of these men would be acceptable to me, and I think the convention would make no mistake in nominating either of them. > “I believe I am competent to 'size up’ areally big man when I see hlm in the House or Senate at Washington, and let me tell you, young man, it takes a big man to make an impression in Congress. A lightweight may come there, make a speech, be listened to with some attention and the next day be forgotten, but the man of brains who is there for a purpose, who sympathizes with the people, who works and votes in their interests<a man of knowledge, character and conviction— compels the American parliament to listen to him and to be influenced by his counsel.” Captain Evans, chairman of the Iowa delegation, is confident that Boies will ve nominated. He aads that in case the Governor becomes the candidate he will carry Towa by 25,000 majority despite the fact that the State has long been a Repub- lican stronghold. He does not think that the action of the trades unions in prepar- at the Twin Shaft Mine. In Constant Peril Themselves and Six Hundred Feet From the En- tombed Men, WILKESBARRE, Pa; July 1 — The situation at the Twin shaft to-day 1s not s0 hopeful as it was yesterday, when con- siderable progress was made down the slope. No bodies have yet been recovered, there have been no indications that the bodies are near, and it is doubtful if any will be found for days to come, When the shilt of rescuers came ont this afternoon they reported that only ten feet had been dug into the cave up to 3 o’clock. This slow work is due to the fact that the men encountered another fall of “coal this morning. Mine Inspector McDonald said this after- noon that the rescners werz2 at least 600 feet from the entombed men, and if there was much rock and heavy falls ahead of them it would takea Jong time before they would come on the bodies. The bore hole which had been started through the bar- rier that separated the Clear Spring mine from the Twin shait on the other side of tte cave was completed to-day. The hole is only an inch or two in diameter, and was put through the 100 feet of coal to find whether there was water or gas in the mine. . As soon as the drill was drawn no water came through, and there is very little gas from the mine. ing a labor petition in opposition to the candidacy of Boies will influence the convention one way or the other. Governor Altgeld’s anarchistic following, however, believes otherwise. It is be- lieved that this movement is one of Alt- geld’s to beat the lowa statesman out of the nomination. The enmity of the former toward Boies is attributed to the fact that the Jowan made a speech in which he up- held the position of President Cleveland in sending Federal troops to Chicago dur- ing the great railroad strike. Altgeld is making all he possibly can out of this in- cident. “I do not think,” said Captain Evans, “that Governor Altgeld will openly fight Governor Boies for the Presidential nomi- nation. They have always been good friends, and I do not see why they should not continue to be. Governor Boies has always been friendly to labor, and that that element should want to defeat bhim for the nomination seems to be very unreasonable. The delegates ifrom Iowa {feel that Governor Boies will be nominated, but in case he is not chosen by the convention the ticket will be Joyally supforted in our State, regard- less of the man who is at its head. We are feeling very hopeful, but are doing no lond shouting for our candidate just yet. The thousands who will pour into the city irom Iowa on Monday and Tuesday will do all the ‘rooting,’ as they say here in Chicago, that will be required. The Bouth will be solid for the ticket.” “With the possible exception of Mary- land,” suggested u delegate from Missouri. **Yes, and Delaware is a little doubtful,’” obsérved a second. A consuliation was held by the officials to-day, and it was decided not to tunnel from the Clear Spring mine, for the reason that it is at least 2500 feet from the pillar at which the men are suL-poud to be, and itis only 600 feet from where the rescuers are now at work on the other side of the fall. The work of rescue will be prose- cuted through the slope. **And there are some doubts about West Virginia, don’t you think, Captain?’ in- quired a tall southerner. Captain Evans admitted that these States were probably a little shaky from a Democratic standpoint. In fact, he made a number of concessions to the Republi- Emen are trying to create the impression " District of that Btate, William F. Mec- Kentucky Colonel observed that it was just possible William McKinley might be- come the next President of the United States. J. D. Showalter of Lexington, Mo., and & delegate from that State to the Chicago convention, assured me to-day that there was nothing in the story that Governor Stone of Missouri had entered the field as a candidate for the Presidential nomi- nation. Said he: “The enemies of Bland are giving cur- rency to the yarn about Stone being a candidate. Why, Governor Stone has al- wsys been a consistent Bland man. They would like to see him oppose Bland, how- ever, as such a conflict would be a means to the end which they seek.: These same that Bland is a Southern man. His brother served in the Union army, and all the members of the Bland family are | loyal to the Union. ‘Silver Dick’ himself was in California during the war, and theretore took no part in it. Stone, of course, is a Southern man; thus the in- consistency of these Bland men 1n tryiag to force Stone into the field to the detri- ment of Bland. Bland will bé nominated to spite their efforts. He above all others typifies the platform on which the Demo- crats will go before the country. He isa platform in himself. He is a Democrat, and a Democrat of one idea—that all men are created equal.” FrANK McGUIRE. LS T SCHEMING FOR CONTROL. Pians of Silver Men to Gain the Necessary Two-Thirds Majority. CHICAGO, ILv, July 1.—The recon- noiter to-dsy of the skirmish guard of the silver forces' upon the outposts of the National Democratic committee, as planned by its sub-committee, was vari- ously viewed by the participants after the former had retired to its own camp. Ac- cording to Chairman Harrity, the visitiag delegation, composed of Senators Turpie, Daniels, Jones and Governors Stone and Altgeld, simply *‘fenced for points.” Ana, according to Governor Aitgeld and Sena-! tor Daniels, the fencing was entirely satis- factory to the silver side. At ieast one of their colleagues, however, was inclined to regard the outcome as a draw, with the indications favorable to the silver men getting the worst of it when final conclu- sions were tried with the National com- mittee next Monday. The action of the Illinois delegation in determining to lead the attack for the abrogation of tbe two-thirds rule wasa fruitful topic of discussion, and during the | day it developed that Governor Altgeld's scheme was in danger from an unexpected source and that Michigan rather than Illi- nois might become the pivotal State and wield the balance of power in the conven- tion. The: two delegates from the Fifth Knight and George P. Hummer, both active free silverites, were among the vis- itors at headquarters and conferred at length with the members of the executive committee. The situation in the Wolverine State is that while fourteen out of the twenty-six delegates are silverites, the delegation is instructed for gold and bound to that standard by the unitrule. It is proposed, however, to precipitate a fight on the reform of that rule in advance of any action on the two- thirds issue. In the event of the unit rule being declared invalid, there will be no necessity for the substitution of a majority vote for the two-thirds vote, for the silver votes of the Wolverine State would give suggestion exploited by the Michigan dele- gates, but it was not received with special enthusiasm. S e GREETING TO TELLER. Coloradans Give Nolsy Approval of His Course In Standing by Sllver. DENVER, Cov., July 1.—Senator Henry M. Teller could bave aroused the West to no greater demonstrations of approval had he been a sovereign of an empire or a President of a republic. Alllast night bis progress west from Omaba along the line of the Union Pacific was marked by noisy demonstrations at every stopping- point in Nebraska. Bands met him with energetic martial and patriotic airs, crowds cheered and demanded a speech, and at many places the Senator was fairly dragged from the train and mounted upon boxes, where he could be seen as he thanked the people for their good feelings toward him and the cause he has been championing. It was long after midnight before ‘his party or any other passengers on the train could take any comfortor Test. At an early hour this morning the Sen- ator and his wife stepped from the train at Greeley, where Lieutenant-Governor Jud Brush met him and drove the guests to his comfortable ranch home, where a quiet day was passed. At 2:30 p. M. Receiver Trumbull’s special car, attached to a special excursion train, left the Union depot bearing the reception committee, which reached Greeley at an early hour. There Senator Teller was met and taken under their escort. Governor MclIntire, Mayor McMurray, I. N. Stevene, C. S. Thomas, Irving Howbert, Alva Adams, T. M. Patterson, J. B. Grant and other prominent citizens of all political parties were included in this committee. The explosion of a bombat the Union depot at 7:45 o’clock announced the ar- rival of the Greeley train; a second bomb gave notice that Senator Teller was in the carriage, and a third bomb at 8 o’clock was the signal for the parade to move. The streets at that hour along the line of march were densely crowded with enthu- siastic voters of both sexes, and Senator Teller’s progress at the head of the parade was easily marked by the roars of cheers that rapidly rolled up Seventeenth street and thence along a devious line of march, formally passing in review before the grand stand erected in front of the Brown Palace Hotel. The parade was a great affair. Many bands were in the procession. Gilpin County citizens were given the place of honor, just behind Senator Teller's car- riage. ‘The Colorado National Guards, the several cadet companies and the artillery made up the military part of the parade. 0Old pioneers came next, women marching with men; then a great line of civic, social, political, benevolent and trades societies followed. During the progress of the paraae fire- works were touched off all over the city, and the streets resounded with the noise of cheerinz and of explosives. Arriving at the hotel, Senator Teller met the entire delegation from 8t. Louis, which had so manfully stood by his side, and ac- companied by the ladies of the party and the reception committee, he proceeled to the reviewing stand. His appearance there was the signal for one mighty and prolonged shout of welcome from a great crusn of people who filled Broadway, Court place and Seventeenth street for a distance of a block in five directions from the reviewing stand. There Governor Mc- Intire made a brief address of welcome on behalf of the people of the State, and Sena- tor Teller replied. Neither mdm was a that side the necessary nominating major- cans, and as 1 arose to leave the room a | ity and one of two to spare. This was the set speech, but was the result of the in- spiration of the occasion. y STRIKERS MEET DEATH Fatal Encounter Between Deputy Sheriffs and Riotous Workmen. Ohio Militiamen Called Out to Assist in Preserving the Peace at Berea. CLEVELAND, 0., July 1.—The strike at the quarries of the Cleveland Stone Company to-day resulted in the death of Vinton Machurski and the fatal wounding | of John Melosky. Joseph Wanosky and Antoine Totak sustained flesh wounas which are not sérious. A Dbattie between Sheriff Leek, with forty deputies and 200 strikers took place at West View, three miles from Berea. The mob had driven out the workmen. { When the Sheriff arrived he ordered the { mob to disperse. They refused and a shot was fired at Deputy Carman, The Sheriff then ordered his men to fire and about | sixty shots were exchanged, half of the | mob fled. While tbe Sheriffs were fighting their battle strikers assailed another party of depnties at the scene of yesterday’s riot and put them to flight. The Sheriff early in the afternoon asked for troops and Com- ny F of Cleveland and Company D of E:ru were called out. C. Smith, the dep- uty whom Machurski in his ante-mortem statement accused of firing the fatal shot, was arrested and brought 1o the Cleveland jail. The streets are guarded to-nignt by deputy sheriffs and the militia. The Poles are wild with rage and it is feared serious trouble will occur to-morrow. —_—— GENTRY AND PATCHEN MATCHED, They Will Pace Three of CHICAGO, InL, July 1L.—Four stake exents formed the card to-day at the Wash- ngton Park meetinz of the Northwestern Breeders’ Association, but none of them was particularly interesting.

HENLEY, Exg., July 1. —~The Yale men were out on the water at 11 o’clock to-day. Clark, the coxswain, has fully recovered from his attack of tonsilitis and was in his place in the boat. The crew rowed up the river and returned to the boathouse, where they changed their new English oars for their old American ones. ’fhey then rowed over the last half of the course in 3:24 at a stroke of 38. The Leander crew rowed over the first half in 3:21 and the full course at 7:30, at 38 stroke. Trinity Hall rowed over the full course in 7:23. They were paced in the last half by the second Trinity Hall crew. Captain Treadway, after the practice, said that the Ameri oars felt better in the hands of the men than the English ones. 1t has not been definitely decided as vet which of the two styles of oars the crew Wwill use in the race for the Grand Challenge cup. The new shell which the Yale men will use in the race arrived to- day. The Yale men were out for practice at 6 o’clock this evening and at the request of Sir Charles Dilke. M. P., rowed over the last half of the coarse, covering the dis- tance in 3:20, rowing 33 and 38 to the minute. The American oars were used and it is stated that the Yale crew will not again use the English oars purchased for them by Bob Cook and that the siides in their boat will be placed in the old style. Cook expressed himself as greatly pleased and encouraged by the work of the crew. s CANADA WILL RECIPROCATE, The Liberal Ministry Will Open Negotiae- tions With the United States. MONTREAL, Que., July L — The London (Eng.) correspondent of the Star cables that he learns from sources in close touch with the Hon. Wilfred Laurier, that despite Mr. Laurier’s tentative acceptance of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain’s zollverein ‘proposal, the first act of the next Canadian Liberal Ministry will be to send a com- mission to Washington to negotiate a treaty of reciprocity, and also that it will petition the home Government for per- mission to appoint a Canadian agent at Washington. The correspondent adds that no one there doubts that the demand from Canada for discrimination against British goods and in favor of the United States would give the worst possible blow to the growing cause of imperial unity. —_— Triple Hanging and All Died Game.
