age, the son of Judge King, of Coryell,
Texas. He and his little sister, two
years younger than the boy, were over
taken by the recent terrible hail storm

only guard the younger child with his
body. He was almost beaten to death
by the hailstones, and physicians still
watch at his bedside, while the grateful
little sister, with bruised hands, never
ceases to minister to his wants.

ed.

ded, that in succeeding Count Andrassy
his earnest endeavors would be directed
to the maintenance and increase Of a
friendly feeling between Austria and
Italy.

A Hotel Blown Up.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 15.-The Cor
bin hotel, occupied by Henry Corbin,
at Westerville, in this county, was
blown up last night by gunpowder, and
although the building was occupied by
o number Of people, no one but Corbin
was injured, and he not fatally. 1t is
not known who placed the powder in
the building, but Corbin asserts it was
done by some Of the villagers, and Is
the outcome of his refusal to cease
selling liquor in the village. -Four
years ago building he occupied as a
saloon, was demolished by gunpowder,
and Corbin left the town, only return
ing a short time ago. All attempts to
arrest the guilty parties proved a fall
ure. The damage to the hotel and
adjoining buildings Is So, 600. The cit
izens of Westerville insist that while
they favored resorting to stringent
measures to prevent liquor selling in
the town, that they never favored such
measures as those resorted to last
night.
