yee'erday at the hands of Miss Emma
A. Ashlev, the titter of Miss Lillian
Alhley, 'whose suit for $75,000 for al
leged betrayal, has been in progreti be
fore Jude Slack for iteveral weekt and
is now drawing to a close. Mist Ash
ley, the plaintiff, m on ttie witnesi
stand shortly after the court opened
yesterday morning, and it was while
she was being examined that her sister
irew a revolver trom a handbag which
she carried, and fired a shot at Baldwin,
the bullet grazing his bead. "
The shooting following the proceed
ings on the stand seemed so like a pre
arranged sequence that it is charged
by the defense that it was the result
j( a conspiracy ; that the Ashleys had
'earned of what the defense bad in
tore for yesterday morning and that it
had been agreed that on the introduc
tion of the evidence the shooting o(
Baldwin was to immediately follow,
rhis opinion is shared by others than,
those connected with the defense.
The incident which prec pitated the
attempted assassination was the intro
Juetion of a photo of Mid Lilliat Ash
;ey. When she saw it Baldwin 8 at
torneys sav she knew her case was
I ine; that its introduction led her to
ifivs a lignal liefore agreed upon to her
inter to fire the shot. At any rate
what seemed to le a signal from Lillian
was given and immediately hrr sister,
who occupied a feat behind Baldwin,
1red point blank at his head. The
oullet plowed through his hair and
Juried itself in the wall of the court
'oom near the bench.
OKAI'PLKD WITH THE WOMAN.
Mr. Unruh, Baldwin's business man
iger, was the iirst to take in the situ
itinn. He jumped at the woman,
(truck her a violent blow f n the wrist)
ind wrested the pistol from her grasp;
Then a most eicitirig scene ensued.
Attorney Crittenden rushed to the a
list nee of the sister of his client, puU
ting his hand in his pistol pocket aa
he moved He reached Unruh just at)
the latter brought the pistol down after
having torn it frm the woman's grasp.
Whether purpooely or not he covered,
Crittenden with it. The attorney wad
1oi at all slow in showing his gun, and
lor a few seconds it looked at if further
ihnoting would follow. Attorney
Llovd and High ton and the court offi-
;ials jumped between the excited gun-
holders and separated them. t,lerkj
KcElroy took the pistols and the danger
aas over.
In the meantime the would-be mur-,
leress ha 1 become alarmed. At soon
11 she could she broke from the clutch
jf Mr. Unruh and darted toward the
ather side of the room, fol'owed by
Baldwin, who feared she had another
pistol in tier bag. He caught bis as
tailant and held ler until the bailitf
t ok her in charge and escorted her to
he city prison, where sue wa booked
j:i a charge of asssult to murder.
"I tried to do a Christian act," she
aid : "I tried to kiil a vile seducer, t
tried to kill the man who bad seduced
uid degraded my sister and dragged
her good name in the dust. I thought
the vile wretch had cumtiered the earth
too long and I tried lj kiil him, but itj
was notGol's will, so I suppose it is all
right."
Soon afier noon a complaint by Un

to commit murder, was sworn to in
the police eourt and bail was fixed at

crow-examination upon the subject of a

the ttrongly repudiated, but eventually
udmilted it might possibly be a "snap
Bbot," photo. The picture looked very
like iier, the hair being curled. It wan
introduced by the defense for the pur
pose of contradicting her statement that
she at no time in her life had curled her,
hair. In conclusion she said : 1 know
it can't be me, for I never wore a dreat
like that," and tthe lat an twer quoted

HARRIET B.ECHER STOWE

THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY PRESENT.
Short Sketch of llff Life "
World-wide llepntatloi
Work of
Habtvobo, Conn., July Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Siowe, the gifted au
thorestof "Uncle Tom'e Cabin" and
snd "Dred" and other works of world
wide reputation, died at ber home, No.
73 Forest street, at noon yesterday w ith
out regaining consciousness. She parsed
peacefully awaylas though into a deep
leep. By her bedside at the time were
her son. her two (laughters, her mar
ried Bister and her husband and Dr. Ed
ward Hooker, her nephew, who was
also her medical attendant, and other
relatives. Mrs. Stowe't malady of
many years' continuance, a mental
trouble, to jk an acute form on Friday,
when congestion of the brain with pir
tial paralysis appeared. During Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday Mrs. Stowe
was about the house, but suffering very
much. Since Mom! y morning she has
been confined to ber bed and yesterday
afternoon lie-ame unconscious Mrs.
Stowe until seven years ao was in itood
health, although she was frail bodily.
Mrs. Stowe was born at Litchfield
Conn., June 14, 1812, and was therefore
eijhty-four when she passed away.
She was the third daughter and sixth
child of Dr. Lyman Beecber. She grew
up in an atmosphere surcharged with
mental and moral enthusiasm and it
was under the strong influence of her
gitUid father that she imbibed those
trails of mental character, so strongly
brought out in her contributions to the
anti-slavery propaganda. Her literary
labors began w hen she was but twelve
years old, and her first article was a
composition under the somewhat im
posing title, "Can the Immortality of
the Soul Be Proved From Its Light of
Nature?" Her father, gratified and
pleased, encouraged her literaTy aspira
tions. She was given every advantage
of education and became well known n
literary circles at an early age.
In January. 1896. she married Rev
Calvin Ellis Stowe, and took up he?
residence at Cincinnati. From that
city she made frequent visits to the
slave states of the south and thus ac
ouired that minute knowledge of touth'
ern life and characteristic displayed in
her later writings. She joined the anti
slavery crusade with all the enthusiasm
uf a strong woman e nature.

amount of evidence was introduced yet-
terday in the trial of Bedker and Cre
Ktn. pharged with defrauding the Ne
vada bank of f . 2,000 by means of a
forged draft. After the testimony of
the offlc'ale of the various banks con
cerned had leen beard, Frank I. Seav
er, alias A. H. Dean, also an accom
plice of Becker and Cregan, was placed
on the stand and made a full confession
of the transaction. He told of his meet
in it Creiian in Baltimore county, Ohio,
when the latter wat held on a charge of
forgery. A few yeart later be met
Cregan in New York and the latter In
troduced him to Becker. In November,
1 S95, the three met at the Hotel Savoy,
New York, and planned the Nevada
bank swindle. Becker forged the draft,
Dean passed it and Cregan acted at
middleman. The examination of Dean
will be continued tomorrow.

Euoemont, S. D , July 2. At 1 o'clock
yesterday the Edgemont irrigating canal
embankment broke touth of Uwn and
an enormous amount of water was let
loose. The water poured down the hill
into the old bed of the cteek where the
1 B. A M. railroad company had built
their track. The water rote until with-
in ten feet of the top of the fill, when
the ground broke through and the
water quickly melted the fill. Before
the flood could be controlled it had
washed a hole two rails long and thirty
feet deep and in two other placet it
washed the track out for some distance;
Wrecking crewt from both ends of the
line were called to the spot and will
take all night before the break it re
paired. The embankment had beenjin
s pec ted Tuesday and found in good
shape and on the ttrength of this an
extra amount of water had been turned
in from the surplus reservoir.
A small pipe had been pushed through
the embankment tome months ago and
the immsnte prettu re of water caused
it to cut around the pipe and in three
minutes the water from all the lakes
and reservoirs wat foaming through
the break. The damage to the canal
will amount to almost three thousand
dollars, while the Burlington loss is
very great.
The city escaped the flood by almost
a miracle, as owing to the pressure of
water the embankment above town
proved to be weak In one place and but
for the providential breaking of the
embankment at the place It occurred
the rown would have been flooded and
an enormous amount of damage done.
Two cloud buntt occurred yetterday
near the city and the rivers are all
flooded high.

WaiEsiAtaa. Pa., July l.Another
twenty-fi or bourt hat rolled sway rod
ttill the men at the twin shaft, Pittnon
Junction, are making heroic efforlt to
reach the men entombed and more
progress was made yetterday afternoon
than bat been made since work waa
begun. There wat no further gqm-eiing
in the gangway or slope and toe men
were not interfered with in placing the
timbera and feeling their way cautious
ly along. On acrount of the favorable
conditions yesterday the men have gone
about 500 feet further into the slope
than they were the night previous and
reached the edge of the cave. It is pre
sumed that the men entombed are ,
about 700 feet from the edge of the cave, !
nd in order to reacli the bodies dipging (
a at bepun with ail vigor, jne iimoers
behind the rescuers Monday showed no
sigiit of bending and all of the official!
agreed that the roof was in good con
diti n. To dig away the fall 700 feet
and reach the bodies will take twelve or
filteen hours longer, if everything con
tinues favorable, but the officials and
rescuers think there are open spaces
beyond the edge of the fall, which, of
course, would not have to lie dug, and
in these placet the men would only
have to secure the roof. If the slope it
soli lly choked up, the digging would
take a couple of weeks, but if the fall is
not heavy, and if there are open spaces,
the men may be reached any time with
in the next twelve or fifteen hour.
Thit refers to the main body of men en
tombed. It wag known that Mayor
Langan and some of the other men
were not as far in the slope aa the
others, and yesterday it was thought
probable by the officers that their bodiee
might be readied at any time during
that time. The air is good and it still
freely circulates amoiig the rescuers.
The company ha completed a careful
and systematic canvass of the namet
and the number of men who have per
ished in the ill-fated mine. This list
shows that there are but fifty-eight men
all told.
1:30 a. m. The midnight shift res
cuers who have come to the surface
report that they are now at work on
the cave and may reach the bodies at
any minute. Some of the rescuers
cling to a faint hope that some of the
men may be alive. They Bay that the
pillars where the men are imprisoned
are very large and strong and that
perhaps the cave came about them and
left them imprisoned in an open space,
but the question whether or not the
men could have sustained life for so
long without food or water iB open to
grave doubts.

Berlin, July 1. An arsenal near Ft.
Mosel, one of the fortB in the vicinity of
Metz, the capital of Lorrain, was dis
covered to lie on fire last night. The
diacovery caui-ed consternation among
the people in the neighborhood, for the
reason that there is an immeriHe amount
of explosives in the arsenal. The gar
rison troons were hurriedly turned out
to fight the flames and pre :ent if possi
ble an explosion, which, should it occur,
would be disastrous. While the soldiert
were at work there was an explosion of
a comparatively small quantity of am
munition, which kiih'J seven men and
injured a number of others. This caused
much excitement, but the troops brave

But as one gang after another readied

the countenances of the unhappy ones.
The rescuing party that went into
the shaft yesterday morning returned
at 6 o'clock last evening and as they

hole through the Clear Spring coiliety
into the twin ehaft workings. The men
here t-tarled on Sunday to cut a hole
throiigh large enough to admit a man's
body, but the officials feared the water
and uas in the twin shaft would ruth
into the Clear Spring and cause die-
a.-ter to thote workingi also, and it was
decided to abandon the work of making
so large a hole and to merely drill a
prnall bore hole through the eighty feet
of coal for the double purpose of finding
out the condition of the twin shaft
workings as to water and gas and witl
the idea of communicating with the
men if thev or anv of them should
chance to be on the opposite side of the
cave next to the Clear Spring partition.
Prominent mine officials from all
parts of tin country were on ti.e ecene
yesterday discussing the sad disaster
from every standpoint. A conference
was held during the day, at which re
ports were made to the effect that the
fall is the largest ever known to any
miner in this valley and that the cave
in is still going on. Among the officials
who were present were Mine Inspecter
Blowitt of Scranton, Anthony Horn, su

company, Pittson; Superintendent Da

Till RIVKBB CLOSE BY,
Both the Lackawanna and Susque
hanna riven run in close proximity to
the Twin shaft. From the surface to
the point where the rock bepins there
is at least 145 feet of what is known as
river wash. From this point down to
the bottom or level where the men are
there were, previous to the fall 280
feet of rock. At long at thit remained
intact theie wat perhaps more leakage
through the crevice into the mine than
in mines which are not in tuch close
nroximitv to large bodies of water
When the fall occurred the 280 feet of
rock referred to must have been shat
tered, allowing the water to pour into
the mine in large quantities, until the
open space oeiow was an nuea. ine
very natural result of this is that if
the victims did not lose their lives un
der the fall they came to their death by
drowning.
If thit be true, and there is
no reason to doubt that it is, it will be
impossible to remove the bodies of the
victims from the mine.
