Mrs. Stowe's chief claim to fame rests on the nuthorship of "Undo Tom's Cabin," a work read in every langllage, and probably familiar to more people than any other one book except the Bible.) Mrs. Harriet Beeober 8towe was born in a plain little cottage la Litchfield, Conn., on June 14, 1813. She was a daughter of tbs Hay. Dr. Lyman Beeohur and Boxiina Heecher, and was the seventh of eight chil dren, nearly all of Whom have heoome fa mous. All of her brothers, William HenrVj Edward, George, Henry Ward, Charles, Thomas Kinniout and James Chaplin became Congregationallst clergymen, of whom, ol course, Henry Ward Beeoher was the most distinguished; She had three sisters, Cath erine Esther, Mary Beeoher Perkins and Isa bella Beechep Hooker, of whom the first mentioned was a noted eduoator. The great event of her early life was the removal of the family in 1832 to Cincinnati, where Dr. Lyman Beeoher was made Presi dent of Lane Seminary, a position he held for twenty years. Hore the contested ques tions of right and wrong whloh had exolted hor nttention at Hartford was even mor rife than at her previous place of abo ie, as it wns not long before the young woman b gan to write la defense ot her views with s vigor indicative of deep feeling and of great literary ability. In 1836 Miss Beeoher and Professor Calvin Ellis Stowe, afterward eminent as a writei on church history and similar topics, were married. Soon afterward the great question of slavery began to agitate the Nation, and Mrs. stowe was at once deeply interested, and she soon became an ardent advocate ol abolition. On June 5, 1851. the National Era, an anti-slavery journal published in Washington City by Dr. Gamaliel Bailey, contained the first number of a serial story whloh wai announoed as "by tbeauthor of 'May Flower,' etc." 8o far as can be learned, few wer specially interested In it till the third and fourth numbers had appeared; then reader! multiplied and orltios found it "full of raoy character skotohes." A little lator politician) began to notioe it. April 1, 18S2, the last number appeared In the Era. On the 20th of the preceding month the book had been Issued, and on the November day that Pierce gained such a wonderful victory and the Whig part v was annihilated It wasannounced that 200,000 ooples had been sold, that 1.000. 000 Americans had read It, and 2,009.000 more were reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin. Ten thousand copies were sold In ten days la 1852, and eight presses could not supply the demand. For the first year 1000 copies a day were sold. In England 1,500.000 oopiei altogether were sold, and as many In this country. The book has been translated iuto nineteen languages. Such was the popu larity of the book In England that when Pro fessor and Mrs. Stowe visited England a year after it was published a penny offering to Mrs. Stowe amounted to (5000. Their carriage was frequently stopped in the streets and filled with flowers. At a public reception the Duohees of Suther land clasped on Mrs. Stowe's arm a gold bracelet fashioned like a slave's fetters. On the links Mrs. Stowe had engraved the date of the proclamation ot emancipation by President Lincoln. On account of this work Mrs. Stowe re ceived the plaudits of all the literary world and the personal friendship of many emi nent men and women. After long travel abroad, In 1854, she published "Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands." In 1856 she published "Dred, Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp," treating on a different aspect of slavery. Subse quent works nre "The Ministers Woo ing," in I85j "The Pearl of Orr s Island. 1862: "Agnes of Sorrento." 1863: "Old 'a own Folks," 1P69; "My Wife and I," 1872, and "Pink, and wnite Tyranny." with several others. "The True Story of Lady Byron," whloh appeared in a magazine In 1869. In an swer to a eulegy by Byron, by the Counteej of Guicctoll, excited much oomment. Since then she bad written but little and nothing of importance. For many years Mrs. Stow had lived a quite secluded life, passing her winters In Florida and ter summers at Hart ford.

COAL MINERS ENTOMBED. Scores Burled In a Shaft ot Pitts ton, Penn. THE ROOF CAVES IN ON ALL, A Working Party In the Twin Shaft Caught by the Fall of an Enormous Mas ot Bock Cave-In, Followed bf KiploslonS Like an fcartnejuake lies touers at Work Only Three Survivor. Prrrsrow, I'enn,, jane 29. The most di ftstrous mining accident whloh has ocourred In the State of Pennsylvania slnoe th Avon dale horror in 1869, when two hundred miners' lives were lost, oast this town lnte profound sorrow and made h.nday time for uncontrolled woe. At least seventy-nini men were bUrled alive ih the lowest division of the Twin Shaft mine of th Kewton Coal Compnny a mine which has given employ ment to miners for thirty veers. The nature of the accident seems to prt clmle anv mitMihllitv that anv of the unfor tunates are still alive. They have been burled under thousands ot tons of rook near ly twelve hundred feet below the surfsoe; Hundreds of men are at work endeavoring to get within reach of their former eomraaes. Snores of women Are beitailitig the loss ol their husbands, and brothers and sons. Thousands are orowding the streets and watching every movement of the resourers. who are working with the sense of duty, but without hope. Two men and a bov escaped elle, All ot the dead are hundreds of fet etTw' the Stir face of the earth', and It may be weeks before their bodies are recovered. More than Aft bf the unfortunate men were English-speaking minerss the others were foreigners, prin cipally Huns and Poles. Among the dead are the Acting Mayor, two otty Gounollmen, a constable and several foramen of the Newton Coal Company. For some time it had been known that the) mine was "working." That iSj the roof wai erushing in, or "oreeping.'' At aboiit o'clock p. m. Superintendent Long entered the mine with a big force of men. The in tention was to strengthen the supports of the roof by erecting props along the gang way. Most of tho men were engaged in oiiU ting and setting the timbers. The work was very dangerous, for the reason that the men were compelled to go to the place where the crushing was going on to set the props In plnee, What took place during the night will never be known unless some of theentombed men are recovered alive. It Is known, how ever, that the men realized their danger, for several times during the night they were frightened by the terrible noise of the mine working. The roof sank slowly with a fright ful crackling. There was great danger, too, from the gas, which accumulates rapidly ill cn.es of this kind when orevloes are opened iu the mine. ' The work progressed until 8 o'olook In the moruiug. Thn three terrible explosions occurred In ,quick succession. The shook was heard for miles around the shaft, peo ple being awakened from their Bleep by the noise and t li s rattle of orookery In the bouses. The shocks resembled those of an earthquake. Presently an alarm of fire was sent in from the box nearest the ill-fated mine, and all of the companies In the elty responded. There wns no need of their services, however. The mine apparently was not on lire, but was filling up with the gases which ho rapidly accumulate after ga explosions in the mines; Three persons came out of the shaft altv nfter the explosion oocurred. They are John liiker, Jacob Adams and Frank Sheridan, the latter being a boy. Tney were not so far In the mine as the others, else they could not have oome out. The air was filled with dirt and dust and almost suffocated them. All along the mulu gangway leading to the foot of the shaft timbers had been thrown down, blocking the way. They managed to crawl over these, and, frightened and ex hausted, they made their way to the foot of the shaft, and were drawn up to the surface to tell their story to the engineer, the only person who was around the plaoe when they same up. As soon as the story of the survivors was told the tire alarm was rung and the whole town turned out. The people ot West Pitts ton, although across tho river from ths shaft, were awakened by the ooncujgion and were also soon on the scene. The scene around the mine was distress ing. Fully 6000 persons gathered there, the women crying ami cobbing at times, again hopeful and trying to console their more dis tressed friends. Munyof th poor creature! who have husbands, sons a-ad brothers en tombed have remained In one spot since they first reached the soene, refusing all somfort. The llrat rescuing party went down the mine about 4.30, but was unable to do any. thing. Tho slope was found to be choked with n solid full of rook to a point 600 fee) from its foot, and a number of small falls from that spot to ths h-ad of the slope. II was decided at a conference of the mine of ficials that the meu had been caught in the tower part of the slope and in th No. 6 vein, ind that there was little chance of finding them alive. It was though alsathat it would be Impossible to rough, them la less than a week. SIX DROWNED IN THE LAKE. A Sudden Squall Upsets a YaoM and a ' Parly of Nine. v Six persons were drowned on Bnawano Lake, near Oconto, Wis., during a gale. A party, consisting of O. A Hi sum and wife, Louis Gokey, wife and child, of Pulcauerj Miss EmmaGarbrecht, of Sha-vaoo, and Miss Margaret Crowe, of St. Nazlens, started from Cecil in Mr. Rtsum's yacht for a few days' outing on tbe north shore of the lake. When about three miles from shore ths boat was capsized by a sudden squall and the party thrown Into the water. Mr. RIsum and Mr. Drackrey clung to the bottom of the boat for nearly five hours, the latter holding the Gokey child In his arms. Al three were finally rescued. A Serueant Killed bv a Private.

Weaver, in turn, was shot by a guard, and soon died from his wounds. The affair occurred on the parade ground and eaused the greatest excitement. Weaver was ap parently under he Influence of liquor. He was instructed to give up his weapon, bnt he refused, and began to tire promiscuously. Tbe sentinel then fired and the bullet struck the magaxine of Wearer's gun, exploding it and indicting an ugly wound in his groin, from wLi-h he died soon afterward. Will Go Out or Bur-'UMi.
