HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. suffering very much. Since Monday morning she has been confined to her bed, and Tuesday afternoon became unconscious. Mrs. Stowe, untii about seven years ego, was in good health, although she was fra‘il bedily. : Short Biography of Mrs. Stowe. Mrs. Stowe was the third daughter and sixth child of Rev. Dr. Lyman Beecher. She was born in Litchfield, Conn., June 14, 1812. She was left motherless at the age of four years, and was then placed under the care of her grandmether, who lived at Guilford, Conn. After her father’s second marriage her education was continued at the Litchfield academy, 3 Her father,though a Calvinistelergyman, was. possessed of broad and liberal views. lle had early espoused the cause of the slave, and night and morning in family devotion Harriet heard her father appeal to Heaven that the time of deliverance might come to poor, oppressed, bleeding Africa. The effect of such sérmons and prayers on the mind of an imaginative and sensitive child can easily be conceived. They tended to make her from early childhood the enemy of all slavery. i Married a Clergyman. .

In January, 1836, she married Calvin Eliis Stowe, a clergyman of the parish of Walnut. Hills, a suburb of Cincinnati. Her home in Cincinnati was a station of the underground railroad, and many a fugitive slave found temporary quarters there before being helped to'friends and freedom on the Canadian border. Many a night Mrs. Stowe gank into uneasy slumber, expecting to be roused by the howling of a mob led by the agents of éxasperated and desperate slave-holders.. .7 In 1849 Mrs. Stowe published ‘“The Mayflower; or Sketches of the Descendants of the Pilgrims,” being a collection of papers which she had from time to time contributed to various periodicals. In 1850 she removed with her husbzund and family toq Brunswick, Me.,, where the former had Just been called to a profesgorship in' Bowdoin college. 4 i

It was at- the height of the excitement caused by the passage of the fugitive slave law. It seemed.te her as if slavery was about to extend itself over the free states. She donversed with many benevolent and tender-hearted Christian men and wemen who were blind and deaf to arguments against it, and she concluded that it was because they did not realize what slavery realiy meant. She determined, il possible, to make them realize it, and as a result of this determination, wrote ‘“Uncle Tom's Cabin: or. Life Among the Lowly.”. “Uncle Tom’s” Great Success. ; Neither Mrs. Stowe nor any of her friends had the least conception of the future that awaited her book. She was herself very despondent. It does not seem to have been very widely read when it appeared in the National Era at Washingten, D. C., from June, 1851, ttg(April, 1852, before it was issued in bodk form. During the first year 320,000 copies of the book were sold. Eo Mrs. Stowe published in 1853 “A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Presenting the Original Facts and Documents Upon Which the Story Is Founded Together with Corroborative Statements Verifying the Truth of the Work.” She also wrote ‘A Peep Into Uncle Tom’s Cabin for Children.”” The story has heen dramatized into various forms, once by the author as ‘“The Christian slave.” : : Mrs. Stowe wrote many other books, many. of which were just published as serials in the leading magazines. —_— | ; OVATION TO TELLER..

’MORE RIOTING AT CLEVELAND. Labor Troubles Result in the Killing of f One Man-—Several Wouanded. _ Cleveland, 0., July 2.—The strike at the quarries of the Cleveland Stone company Wednesday resulted in the shooting to death of Vinton Machusski and the wounding to death of Jobn Melosky, who cannot survive. Joseph Wanxoaski and Antoine Totak sustained flesh wounds which are not serious. The battle occurred between Sheriff Leek with 40 deputies and 200 strikers at West View, three miles from Berea. The moB had driven out the workmen, and whez the sheriff arrived he ordered the mob to disperse. Thcy refused and a shot was fired at Deputy Carman The sheriff then ordered his men to fire, and about 60 shots were exchanged before the mob fled. Machiisski was helped to Berea, where it was found he had been shot from the back through his left lung. He died shortly after noon. The sherift in the afternoon asked for troops, and Company F, Cleveland, and D, of Berea, were called out, Col. Kennan, of the Fifth regiment, being now in charge. Charles Smith, the deputy who Machusski in his ante mortem statement accused of firing the fatal shot, was arreste‘nnd brought' to the Cleveland jail. he streets are guarded by deputy sheriffs and the militia. Cleveland, 0., July 3.—Bloodshed again marked the trouble at the Brown hoisting works Thursday afternoon. One man, Willtam Rettger, was shot dead by a nonunion man who had attempted to leave the works on his bicyclerand was attacked by & portion of the mob. The police managed with great difficulty to rescue him, and the police detail was besieged in a shop and had great difficulty in preventing the lynching of their prisoner. Finally a call for troops was made and two of the four companies under arms were hurried to the: soéne. The prisoner was filnally loaded into a patrol wagon and ahout 7:30 p. m. was locked up in the Central police station. The troops remain on guard and at midnight there was a sullen mob of at least 10,000 persons hanging around the premises. Shortly before the hour for quitting several strikers marched up to the Brown works with:a big banner, on which was written in black type: ‘“‘Brown Scabs.” At 4:30 o’clock the main body of the workmen were marshaled into line and the police. force formed the usual hollow square, Capt. English gave the word, the gates were opened and the solid body of men, workmen surrounded by 150 policemen with clubs in hand, marched out. The crowd gave way, and the procession moved up Hamilton street te Case, on the way to the St. Clair street cars. The crowd followed, as on Wednesday evening, yelling ‘‘Scab!” and making a lively vocal demonstration. Contrary to what the mayor had declared weuld be done, the police did not drive back the following crowd... At least, they allowed them to follow up Hamilton street. In the meantime the police marched steadily forward to Case, up Windsor .to Willson avenue, and reaching the Fourth precinct station near Euclid, a halt was made. Forming two lines, the police allowed the workmen to enter the station. All out of the way, the police formed sgain across the street. At this moment the following party was a dense black d¢rowd reaching far down Willson avenue. Suddenly the word ‘‘charge’” wasgiven, It rang out loud and, clear and an awful .scene folowed. The pvlice sprang forward ‘like a shot out of a gun. In.a moment they were upon the vanguard of the crowd. . The latter were dumfounded. "There was a waver and then all turned and fled, But the deadly work had commenced. ‘The: batons of the police were falling like hail on the heads of the men. The crowd was panicé-stricken. Two cars blocked the ‘way north of Willson avenue and the men, women, a,n?l ehildren were packed together in a: tight mass, yelling and shrieking.’ One part broke away and ran down the Cleveland & Pittsburgh tracks cldse at hand.. Another went south on Willson. Men were lying tinconscious on the streets or c¢rawling around in a vain.attempt to rise to their feet. The police, dividing into squdds, charged after each section of the crowd, ‘determined to inflict punishment severe and unrelenting. This lasted for several minutes, and then returning squads of pglicemen began to. gather up unconscious men and others who were staggering around as a result of severe blows.

* During the fight the police captured five of their assailants, each of whom was in a fid condition from clubbing. William Hearn; a furniture van driver allowed the strikers to crowd into his wagon and then crying: “Give them h—ll,” drove right into ihe police line with his horses on a run. Several policemen-were knocked down before the team was captured. Hearn was dragged- from the wagon and clubbed into insensibility before he could be carried into the station. His skull is fractured and his face and head cut and bruised fearfully.Steve D. O’Neill was also on the wagon and ‘has a broken head and a broken leg. Hermann Schaels, a blacksmith, has a terribly cut head. and was badly hurt by being trampled on. James Fox and Charles Cuppenbécker were each badly cut about the head. Charges of rioting were preferred against the five prisoners. The mob managed to carry away all of the others who were injured so as not to be able to walk.

Lee said in part: : “We are here to-day to honor the memory of Jefferson Davis: to lay the cornerstone of a monument to one who needs no amonument in our generation beyond that in the hearts of his countrymen. But we think it due toerect one, that posterity may know the reverence felt for the great leader of a cause that failed.
