Ely S, Parker, whose death was reiorted yesterday, was one full of romance and fraught with vicissitude. He was a full-blooded Seneca Indian, his true name being Donchowaga, and he was the chief of the Six Nations. Ienied citizenship by birth aud by the laws of his native State, he determined to achieve citi zenship on the field of battle, an am bition which he afterward attained. He was a nieuiU r of General Grant's stalT, and as military secretary made at Appomattox the engrossed copy of the terms of capitulation written by Grant and approved by Iee, The or iginal draft of the terms, together with the pen with which the two generals signed it, were valuable souvenirs cher ished by General Parker while life L-tsteiL Like his great commander, he was once wealthy, but naw hi wealth sw ept away in a day, and the last years of his life were sK-iit as a clerk iu the New York Police Department.

After the terms of capit ulation had lieen duly signed, Gen. Lcc was introduced to the members of Gen. Grant's staff who were around him. "When Lee saw Parker's swar thy features, he looked at hiru with evident surprise, and his eyes rested on hitu for several seconds.

My frieud Senator Faulkner, of West Virgin ia, has often said thai Cul. Quay was a true friend.

At 19) o' clock this afternoon tire was discovered by timliermeu in the thirty seventh level of the Osi-eola copper mine. The timbcrmcn at once rushed to the shall and when brought to llie surface in the big liucket gave the alarm. Thirty miners were at wiwk at the time, and up to a late hour to-night but one person had been rescued, a pump boy, and he died shortly alter reaching the open air. The blaze on the 37th level U 2,iKiO feet Ik'Iuw the earth's surface. The under ground workings are heavily tinilicred with pine and as the tire spread it gener ated great quantities of carbonic acid gas, which sank to the lower level, so that death from miffocaion is as certain to ail in the level !elov the ::7th, as to those above. Smoke is ouring in. dense volumes from the mouth of every shaft in the mine and escae through these openings is impossible. The fire is evidently gain ing rapidly. The only hope for the thir ty imprisoned men to effcx-t their escape is through an old drift which opens at the loth level into the south Hecla liraiieh of the fatuous Columet aud Hecla mine, but that drift w as abandoned years ago and doubtless is choked up with decayed timber. But it is the only possible ave nue of esi'ape and the hopes of the min ers' friends cling desperately to it. Gathered about the sliaftsof the Osceola are the wives and mothers and children of the uufortunate men, anxiously await iug further news from their loved oues. The scenes are very pathetic, but beyond the doubt and assurance that the men may have found the abandoned Hex-la drill little comfort can Ih; extended. Ev ery effort is U-ing put forth to rescue the unfortunate men, but hope is not high. The teceola is, next to the Tamarack, the chief copper producer in the Clark Bige low group. It has tteeii in continuous operation since lss-S and paid average dividends of f lim.liiio annually. Upwards of M men were at work in the lower levels when the mine started. Many of these were taken to the main shaft and brought to the surface in the great buckets in a fainting condition. It is now utterly impossible to quench the fire by the usual methods and prepa rations are now lieing made to close tbe mouths of the shafts to shut off the air. The silk? shaft leading to the thirty wventli level is hermetically sealed and the other shafts will n4 l closed so long as hope remains. It Is tn-lieved it will take a month to extinguish the tire. This is the worst disaster In point of litssof life in the history of copper min ing in Michigan. Xission Xatsacre Horrors. I.kxixotox, Ky., Sept.

He is tiwlay a very wnvessful laisiness man, but his life has leen filled with in cidents of a startling character. Though only 40 years of age, he has crossed the ocean &" limes. j Mr. Aufdemhaus was from the Castel lated city of Culm, ou the banks of the lieautiful Rhine, in Germany. His educa tion was lilieraL When he was 13 years old lwth of his parents died, and he en tered one of the big Iron mills of the Fatherland. A couple of years later he became imbued with the spirit of travel, and sot out for Brazil, having in his pos session (400, the result of his frugality while employed in the mill. He had not been iu that country '""(! lie fore his money ran out, and he fMind himself penniless and hungry. Slavery existed in Brazil at that time, aud in a fit of desperation he sold himself as a slave for 2o0 uiillrels, equivalent to in United States coin. His disposition of himself in this manner meant that for the balance of his life he was the property of another, and as such could Iks trans ferred just the same as an animal. His master sent him aloug with 3K other slaves out to a coffee and fruit plantat ion, where be labored along with his fellows, most of whom were negroes, aud in re turn for his labor received what he could eat and the necessary clothing, and uoth ing else. Fortunately for the young man, he retained possession of two watches, and, giving one of theui to the overseer, was made slave driver. One day, eight months after lieeominga slave, ho was sent to tht coast with loo slaves iu his chargo with load of fruit, dye woods aud ootl'ue. Arriving at the coast, young Aufdemhaus found that the vessel to which the goods In his care were consigned was tho samo vessel on which he had come to Brazil, and he lost no time in explaining bis situation to the captain, who agreed to take him hack provided he could esx-ape. The vessel was to sail in the evening, and the last of the goods had been plai-ed on loard and the slaves were ordered ashore, and before they had reached it the big ship had spread her sails aud was scudding homeward, and the horrors of the slave pen were left behind. Tho re turn trip was made iu safety, but young Aufdemhaus was not satisfied, and en tered the employ of the Red Star line and remained with that company for a period of sis years iu the capacity of otHik and butcher. While thus engaged he crowd the Atlantic Co times, winding up his last voyage by winning a wager of for swimming from his vessel to a point at one of tho piers in Xew York harlsir, reaching the goal 10 minutes ahead of time, having been in the water 2 hours and 3) minutes. Seventeen years ago he came to Brad- dock without a dollar in bis pocket and ient to work in the milL To-day he is the successful proprietor of oue of the piwu's most prosperous hotels.

The Cate of Dr. Fraker. From tho New York WorM. The case of Dr. George W. Fraker Is a remarkable one. It illustrates the amount of positive genius that a man can waste in Is-ing an unsuccessful scoundrel. The sauie concentrated and consecutive thinking, the same capacity to take great rifcks and to endure privations w hich Dr. Fraker showed iu his attempt to swindle New Yoi k, Connecticut and other insurance eompsnies, must have won for him in any honest business far more than the ?s."i,un0 he attempted to secure fraud ulently. Of the six men who testified to the facts of his supposed death by drowning in the Missouri river it is probable that the majority were disinterested. He seems to have h-d a hunting party after dark to a place he had selected beforehand, step ped on a crumbling bank and disappeared into the river as part of a plau he had thought out in its smallest details. This display of cunning, followed by a demonstration of courage in swimming such a stream as the Missouri, left noth ing for the insurance companies to do but to pay the money, and this ail of them would have been compelled to do but for the unforeseen events which even the most intellectual rogue loaves out of his count. When dragged out of his hiding place near the Canadian line, where he hail li veil the life of a hunted wild animal for nearly a year, Dr. Fraker declared he was "glad it was over," as no doubt ho was The straiu he had undergone must have represented an expenditure of men tal and nervous energy great enough to have made him an extraordinarily suc cessful man in any legitimate business he might have choseu. Butas he chose to le a rogue, as ho preferred to get some thing lawlessly without giving anything iu return for it, even the prospect of tho penitentiary was a relief to him from the "strain of business." The Scotch are a canny people, and when they say a man needs a long spsu to cit kale with tho devil, they mean he would licst keep ou tho right side of the law in doing his financiering. And that is true enough to be importaut. Ifo Drinking at the Fair. I.ni'Iaxa, Pa., Sept. ."i. Acting upon a suggestion from Judge Harry White, the Grand Jury now in session this morning brought in a bill recommend ing the closing of all hotel bars in In diana during the last three days of the fair. Judge White will issue an order to that effect and the town will le dry during its most jw.pulous season. Tho proprietors of the hotels are very indignant over the court's action, and they say that since license was granted business has not come up to expecta tions and now when they have a chance to pull themselves even, the court steps in and downs their dreams of golden profit. This morning it was rumored the three hotels would retaliate by clos ing their doors against the traveling public next week. As thuy are the three largest iu town this would mean much inconvenience to tho thousands of strang ers coming here. It is not Ix-lieved that the hote!kecers will lose theopportiinity of doing a big business for the sako of getting even with tho court- School Honiet Are Sacred. I.axcastkr, Fa., Sept. .".

Mrs. Archibald Rankin, living in Hickory township, two miles east of Sharon, was subjected to an electrical shock last Friday that paralyzed her left side, and she is in a critical con dition. Her case is phenomenal. She seems to be a human attraction for eleelricity, ami In every electrical storm she is more or less shocked by lightning. About 10 years ago she suffered a shock from a bolt of light ning that rendered her powerless. Kvery year siuee then she has suf fered, aud is a common occurrence for physicians to be dispatched from Sharon to revive her. So regular has this phenomenon tiecome that she was provided with a chain that rests on glass insulators, commonly used on tele graph poles Glass being non-conduct -vs. M rs, Rankin considers herself free from danger in the chair, w here she re mains until the storm is over. When she suffered the shock on Friday she had abandoned the chair, never thinking that sh would lie subjected to another i-lus-k. Their Lot Made it Faiy. Uniontown, Pa., Septemlier 9.
