RisscouraKement has taken the place of hope at the Twin haft In Pittston. The bright prospects of the previous day are now shown to be a delusion, and the discouragement now Is as deep as the hopes were high then. Yester day the reports told of the probability of speedily recovering the bodies and the faint possibility of rescuing; some of the men alive. Today the sad indi cations are that the bodies even will not be recovered for many a day, If ever. The cause of this sudden alternation fiom hope to despair Is explained by the now potent fact that t!ia rescuers were over satiRiiino of their abilities as re R.irds making headway. The wish that they niteht was father of the thouart that ti.ey could, with no further Impedi ment from "suueezes." push their way down the rl'Mi tit nearly the Fame rate of sjieid in which tli3y covered the dis tance in Hi gangway leading to the head of the slope.

They had made three previous attempts to elope and had been thwarted as many times by Irate parents. The fourth and success ful attempt was not made until Phil lips and Elijah Wllkerson, a brother-in-law of the bride, had a fight Thoy drew revolvers and fired eight times at each other, but the balls went wide of their mark. Phillips was forced to re treat, leaving his sweetheart behind. Later she went to the home of hor aunt and thither Phillips followed her. They quickly left the house, following an old Indian trail to a pike leading to Lebanon. The distance of forty-?ive miles was traveled on foot. On reach ing Lebanon the determined twain boarded a, train for this city, where they were married at noon. Phillies said he knew there would be trouole when he returned home and If any one would bo killed It would not be he. MRS. STOWE DEAD. The Author ol "Uncle Tom's Cablo" and OtiT Noted Works, Passes Away at Hartford. Hartford, Conn., July 1. Mrs. Har riet Heecher Stowe, the gifted author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "Dred" and other works of wide reputation, died at her home, 73 Forest street, at noon to day without regaining consciousness. She passed peacefully away as though into a deep sleep. Mrs. Stowc's body will be taken to Audover, Mass., Friday. The burial will be In the cemetery connected with the Andover Theological seminary, where Mrs. Stowe's husband, Professor Calvin E. Stowe, and her son, Henry, are burled. Funeral services for Mrs. Stowe wilt be held at her late home at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The bojy will be taken to Andover, Mass., for Interment on Friday morning. Harriet (Beecher) Stowe was the daugh ter of Lyman and Roxana UFoote) Beech er. and was boin in Lltoliflcld, Conn., June 14, mi. She was the seventh In a family of children of whom the eldest was but ?1 years older than herself. Her father was a Congr-g:itlnnal clergyman, living upon a salaiy of IsQU, and her mother eked out Ihair slender income by keeping a board ing school and pcivonully teaching Eng lish, French, painting, and embroidery. It is no wonder that this overworked mother should have died when lir daugh ter, Harriet, was but 6 years old, leaving th child to be brought up by an aunt, a grandmother, and a stepmother. At 14 she was sent to the Hartford City Female seminary, which her eldr sister Cather ine had established. Her father afterward removed successively to Boston and to Cincinnati O.. and at or near the latter city the sisters opened another school. Four years later, in 1W9, she wns married to Professor Culvln R Htowe, who taugrrt Biblical criticism and Orlun'ftl literature In Lane Thcoloxlcul seminary, of which Dr. Bewhor was president. Tha rise of the antl-nlavcry notation practically broke up the Institution, the trustees tak ing one rR!e, the studonts the other. The Bcerhcrs and Stowes finally left It, and Mr. Stowe became u professor in Bowdoln college, at Brunswick, Me. The family took a few boarders and Mrs. Stowe oc casionally wrote for the newspapers, hav ing obtained a prize of ?6l) for a story. Already (In 1813) she had published, a lit tle collection of sketches, called "The Mny Flower." The stories were very much In the style of Miss Sedgwick's, which were then very popular; but Mrs. Stowe's had a more distinctly religious element. It is a Utile curious that, although the writer was then over 30, It was thought best to have the book Introduced by a long pre face from her elder sister. Miss Catherine E. Beecher, giving an argument In favor of Judicious fiction. Instancing Scott and Kdgeworth as an example, but decidedly condemning Dickens, and deprecating the enthusiasm lately called forth by his visit to America. Mrs Stowe's greatest work, "Uncla Tom's Cabin." appeared on March 2u, 18T4, and had the very greatest success from the first moment. It took but a few days to sell 10.0U0 copies, and over 300,uOO wero sold within a year, elsht power-presses barely keeping pace with the demand. This is Mrs. Stowe's own statement in the Cen tennial Edition, but it can hardly lie rec onciled with tha fact that the publishers in ls5s annoimc-.d only the three hundred and fourteenth thousand. Such a sale, however, even in sixteen years, was a tiling probably unexampled In history for a purely Itterarv work. Its success In England, ami then in Europe generally, was as startling.

ALTGELD AND STAFF ARE ACTIVE They Havo Enlisted the Bulk of the Bimetallic Support for the Abolition of the Two-Thirds Itulf Vice President Stevcnsoa Declines to Discuss the Situation. Chicago, July 1. The reconnoitre to day of the skirmish guard of the silver forces upon the outposts of the national Democratic committee as planted by its sub-committee was variously viewed by the participants after the former hud retired to its own camp. According to Chairman Harrlty the visiting delega tion, composed of Senators Turpie, Daniel, Jones and Governors Stone and Allgeld, simply "fenced for points." And, acordlng to Governor Altgeld and Senator Daniel, the fencing was en tirely satisfactory to the silver side. At least one of their colleagues, how ever, was inclined to regard the out come as a draw, with the Indications favorable to the sliver men getting the worst of It when final conclusions were tried with the national committee next Monday. The purpose of the visit of the silver delegation to the national sub-committee, as stated In the United Press dispatches of yesterday, was to present the views of the leaders of the white metal majority concerning the selection of temporary chairman, the disposition of contents and the roll call on the temporary organization. Sena tor Jones led In the presentation of the silver ease and was followed by Sena tor Turpie and Govornor Altgeld. When they had concluded Chulrmnn Harrlty, who had previously consulted with his associates and found them to be of one mind, explained that the sub-cpmmlttec was possessed of no In herent power to settlu the question at Issue. He referred the delegation to the record of the preliminary proceed ings of the sub-committees and the na tional committees of '90 and '14 and pointed out that it was the exclusive province of the full national committee to pass provisionally upon contesting delegations in making up the prelimin ary roll of that convention. As to the matter of temporary chairman It was one also altogether within the control and discretion of the national commit tee, but he was willing to promise that nothing definite In this direction should be done until the delegation had been afforded on Monday, an opportunity of conferring with the full body. For the present himself and his associates, without prejud'ee to eltrer side, were poweilesd to act With this i.'umD of comfort the delegation was compelled to be content. As It withdrew Gover nor Altgeld expressed the opinion that judging from the reception accorded it, there was every reason to hope that an amicable arrangement would be reached when the delegation was af forded an opportunity of outlining its position to the national committee. BIMETALLISTS QUIET. The bimetallic Demoeratlo national convention dispensed with Its morning and afternoon sessions pending a report from the committee appointed to await on Chairman Harrlty and his associ ates, but Its quarters were the principal centre of attraction and were crowded by local and vlniting silverites through out the day. Tho action of the Illinois delegation In determining to lead tho attack for the abrogaton of the two thirds rule was a fruitful topic of dis cussion and during the day It developed that Governor Altgeld's scheme was in danger from an unexpected source and that Michigan rather than Illinois might become the pivotal state and wield the balance of power In the con vention. Two delegates from the Fifth district of that state. William F. Mc Knlght and George P. Hummer, both active free silverttee. were among the visitors to headquarters and conferred at length with members of the execu tive committee. The situation In the Wolverine state Is that while 14 out of the 26 delegates are eilverltes the dele gation Is instructed for gold and bound to that standard by the unit rule. It Is proposed however, to precipitate a fight on the enforcement of that rule in ad vance of any action on the two-thirds Issue. In the event of the unit rule being declared invalid there would 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 that side the necessary nominating majority and one or two to spare This was the suggestion exploit ed by the Michigan delegates, but it was not received with especial enthu siasm. ALTGELD ACTIVE. Governor Altgeld and his lieutenants had already enlisted the bulk of the bimetallic support for the abolition of the two-thirds rule, and it was held by most of those approached by the Michi gan men that the Illinois scheme was an easier and a surer way of placing silver nominees upon a silver platform than any other attack upon the time honored unit rule. Part of the plan of the Michigan silver men is to go before the committee on credentials and to ask the unseating of the entire gold wing of the state delegates, among whom is Elliott Q. Stevenson, law part ner of ex-Secretary Don M. Dickinson, on the ground that the state conven tion wns packed and a free expression of opinion suppressed. Secretary Sheerln reported to the sub-committee today his allottmvnt of tickets for the press, but the result will not be made known until tomorrow or later. Sergcunt-at-Arms Martin, when waited upon by the committee ap pointed at yesterday's caucus of the Illinois delegation to demand addi tional appointments and tickets, main tained the stand tbut ho had previously tnken and said with emphasis that not a Chicago man would placed In charge of a door. He succeeded in convincing the committee that his position was a light one, and It will so report when the caucus reassembles on Sunduy morn ing. Vice-President Stevenson's presence under the roof of the Palmer house for a few hours en route to his home in Bloomington, failed to create even a flutter of Interest. His callers were numerous, but tvir missions Were more social than political, and the vice president himself declined to discuss the situation or the coming convention even from an abstract point of rlew. It was noticeable, however, that most of his callers were Identified with the gold standard element of the Illllnola Democracy, and this led to the circu lation of a rumor that if the Altgeld bi metallic element Insisted upon naming the temporary chairman, Mr. Steven son might be offered them as a com promise based upon the fact that as m. representative Illinois Demoorat he could scarcely, with good grace, be an tagonised by the delegation of this state. As a matter of fact, however, the rumor was more shadow than sub stance. No such contingency has pre sented itself to the suh-commlttee, and this party will make no representations on the subject to the full committee. BLACKBURN RECEIVES VISITORS. United States Senator Blaokburn is the only delegate to attend the conven tion preliminaries who Is an active presidential candidate. His Interests are being looked after by his friend, Phil Thompson, Jr., of New York. By uppointment. Senator Dubois, of the bolting Republican contingent, called on Senator Blackburn at his apartments and had a conference In the presence of Phil Thompson. Th daho senators visit was In the Inter ests of his leader, Senator Teller and It Is presumed that the contingent sup port of the Blackburn strength was asked for by the Colorado senator. It Is stated, and confirmed by the admis sion of Senator Blackburn, that the South feels very kindly towards Sen ator Teller, especially because of his fight In the senate against the Lodff (force) bill, but it Is also said that among the southern old line Democrats Irrespective of . the money question. It would be a difficult task to create a. sentiment favorable to voting for a man who only a few days ago was a Repub lican. State Senator Bailey, of Indianapolis, arrived at the Auditorium annex as the advane agent of the Matthews delegation from that state. He said the delegation was unanimous for the governor and free sliver. In spite of the contest which Bynum la expected to make on behalf of the gold faction. Several hundred Matthew criers will be here with the delegation and a band of music Monday to open headquarters. Comptroller Eckels Is keeping In the background and does his work for the gold minority without being seen or in terviewed to any extent. "The silver fellows," said he, "are trying to dis rupt the party by attracting every dissenting element to our ranks and tearing the time-honored principles of Democracy Into splinters. I cannot foresee the consequences. That two thirds rule should never be abrogated and the national committee should sharply rebuke the bimetallic commit tee for presuming to dictate the tem porary organization." QUIET DETERMINATION. There was an attendance of 35 rep resentatve silver advocates at the ad journed meeting in the Sherman hous tonight of the national blmetalllo Dem ocratic committee. Senator Jonas, of Arkansas, on behalf of the committee delegated to wait on the members of the national committee, reported the result of the conference this afternoon. After numerous speeches moderate la tone, but bristling with a quiet deter mination to have their own way In spite of a national committee of opposite monetary faith and purpose, the meet ing decided to continue the existence of the conference committee with Sen ator Jones as chairman. Several of the leaders spoke In favor of at once enhirRing the scope and use fulness of the whole committee by mak ing It a permanent convention organi zation with the title of caucus to which all silver delegates will be eligible to come This proposition met with unan imous favor and Senator Harris, of Tennessee, was chosen chairman of the caucus. The meeting adjourned to Fri day night, or earlier at the call of the chairman. The general opinion of those present was that the silver forces had lost no advantage by going before the nation al committee and that the mild manner In which they were received led them to believe that the silver men would be allowed to organize the convention per manently and temporarily eloct their candidate and make their own platfotm without any serious obstacles from the gold men. THE GOLD ELEMENT. Among the gotd members of the na tional committee who are being talked about In a way which Indicates their retirement In favor of the ruling ele ments are Messrs. Cable, of Illinois; Sheerln, of Indiana; Prather, of Mis souri, and Richardson, of Iowa. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, who Is a delegate-at-large, arrived this evening with D. H. Tompkins, of the same state, and regis tered at the Sherman house. The fighting statesman announced his In tention of entering Into the thick of the fight to smother the gold men In the convention at every stage, but did not commit himself as to the presidential candidate of his choice. WILL REJECT BLAND. Tbe People's Party Evidently Will Not Play Second Fiddle to the Democracy. St. Louis, July 1. Chairman Taube neck, of the People's party national committee, when seen this morning re garding a published statement that Mr. Bland would be acceptable to the Popu lists if the Democrats nominate hltn for president at Chicago, said to the United Press representative: "I made no such statement, nor will the People's party endorse Mr. Bland if he Is nominated at the Chicago con vention. The People's party has more voters who will stand Up and be count ed for free silver than any other party In existence. The People's party Is the only party which has honestly con tended for the remonetlzatlon of stiver at 1G to 1, and It. Is the only party in existence whose members are united for this demand. The People's party, for the sake or a union of all the silver forces at the polls in the coming cam paign, will not surrender our organisa tion or Individuality. If the Democrats cannot meet us hslf way on a man like Senator Teller, then that party Is re sponsible for a division of the sllvar forces in romlnsr campaign." MR.

He had expected to be here till i o'clock, but found that he d Major McKlnley could do all the talk ing they had to do In a much shorter time. Major McKmley drove Mr. Ho bart to the station. Their Interview was satisfactory on both sides, and each candidate ex pressed himself as highly pleased with the personality and the views of the other. Mr. Hobart thinks the situation In the east encouraging from tbe Re publican point of view.

This afternoon 660 glass workers came from Massillon. Many of them were Democrats, but announced that they would vote for McKlnley. In response to a speeoh by their spokesman Major McKlnley made a characteristically happy response. The picturesque and unique event of the campaign was the visit of 3,000 delegates to the state convention of Christian Endeavorers now la session here. Shortly after 4 o'clock this army of men and women marched to the Mc Klnley resldeace In two great bat talions. As many as sould find stand ing room In the spacious grounds crowded In and formed a dense mass.

Major Mc Klnley appeared he was greeted with cheers and the Chautauqua saluta He spoke briefly and after his remarks 3,000 people shook bands with him, and upon his wife and mother, who sat near by, flowers were showered. Before depart ing the delegates sang "America," aad S.000 voices Joined m the national aa them. The Christian Endeavor hosts bad not departed before caviages drove up containing Hon. Richard C.
