Well-Known Financier.
Newport, N. H., June 5.-Mr. Austin
Corbin and his grandson Corbin Edgell,
with DR.. Paul Kunzier and coachman
John Stokes started ON a, fishing trip
about three o'clock Thursday afternoon.
On going out of the yard ut the farm
house, the horses SHE'D, tipping over tho
open carriage, throwing the occupants
down IN embankment about eight feet
against a stone wall. The family saw
the accident from the piazza and hur-
ried to their assistance with the farm
help. They found Mr.. Corbin conscious
but terribly wounded. His nephew and
the doctor were also conscious. The
coachman was unconscious and appar-
emily hurt the worst of oil. They were
carried to the house and doctors sum-
moned.
Mr.. Corbin's injuries were very seri-
GUS, a compound fracture of the right
leg above the knee, fearful scalp
wound over four inches long on the
forehead, cut through to the skull; one
on the right side of the head three
inches long and the hip and chin cut
badly.
DR.. Kunzier was thrown over the wall
and sustained q broken arm and
sprained ankle, 80 far as known, and
Corbin Edgell has his leg twice broken
between the knee and ankle.
John Stokes right leg was broken
between the knee and ankle, an dhe sus-
tanned a fractured skull. Stokes died
from his injuries about six o'clock with
out regaining consciousness.
The cause of the horses shying is said
to be from the fact that the coachman
was driving them for the first time with
out binders.

evening, shortly after the arrival Of DR..
Cilley from Boston. His son, Austin
Corbin, Jr., arrived on . special train

when he breathed his last.
