AUSTIN C0RBIN KILLED.
The WeIl-Known New York FinancIer and His Coachman Dashed to Death-Two
 Others Seriously Injured.

Newport, N. H., June 4.-Mr. Austin Corbin and his nephew, Corbin Edgell, with Dr. Paul Kunzier and Coachman John Stokes, started on a fishing trip about o'clock this afternoon. Running out. of the yard at the house the horses shied, tipping over the carriage, throwing the occupants down an embankment about feet against a stone wall. The family saw the accident from the piazza and hurried to their assistance with the farm help. The entire party was found to be seriously hurt. The coachman was unconscious and remained so until 6 o'clock when he died. MT. Corbin was conscious, but was so terribly injured that he died at 9:42 tonight. Dr. Kunzier was thrown over the wall and sustained a broken arm and sprained ankle so far as known, and Corbin Edgell had his leg broken twice between the knee and ankle. Stokes skull was fractured. MT. Corbins injuries consisted of a compound fracture f of the right leg above and below the knee, a fearful scalp wound over inches long on the forehead cut through to the skull, one on the right side of the head 8 inches long and the lip and chin cut badly
 The cause of the team shying is said to have been that the oachman was driving them without binders for the hrSt time.
 MT Corbin was at the head of the Cort bin Banking company of New York and of the great corporations that control the net work of railroads which, starting from Brooklyn and Long Island City, gridron Long Island and connect New York with the innumerable watersde re- sorts on the island. He was also the pro- jector and promoter of the scheme to shorten the time from New York to Eu- rope by means of line of steamers to start from Fort Pond bay, on the eastern end of Long Island, there to connect with his railroad system. The, railroad has only recently been extended to the pro- r, ar,o

Mir. Savers Says There Is No Reason Why Congress Should Sit Longer-Status
 of Legislation.

Washington, June 4.-Congressman Savers of Texas who heads the demo- cratic minority on the appropriation committee of the house. stated today that there was no reason why congress could not adjourn on Sunday. Five appropria- tion bills now in conference were all that had not passed, and all five of these, he said, would probably be passed tomor- row.
 These bills were the postoffice, District of Columbia, sundry civil, Indian and na- val appropriation bills. The only item of importance on which there is a disagree ment in the naval bill, he said, was whether there should be four ships or two. It has been agreed, he said, to make an appropriation for three ships. All the differences in the other bills, he said, were now practically settled.

Another stetson Claimant.

Boston. June 4-Another claimant has appeared for the estate of the late John Stetson, Jr, in the person of Mrs. Cath arine Shirley of Kansas City, Mo, who claims through her lawyer to be the daughter of the late Mrs John Stetson by her first husband, Carl Anthony.
 Mrs, Shirley is said to be 10 years of age, and her mother when she died, was but 35, which makes her mother but 16 years of age when the child was born. That the late Mrs. Stetson, when Mrs. Anthony, had a child is not disputed by Mrs. Stetson's relatives. In fact, they say that she had a daughter, but claim that the child died after living less than two years. They do not believe that Mrs. Catharine Shirley can be the child of Mrs. Stetson, who was then Mrs. An thony, and they think that Mrs. Shirley's claim cannot be established.
 Judge McKim in the probate court to- day fixed Wednesday,, July. 10, as the day on which he would hear the con- testants in the John Stetson will case.

IS THIS THE BURDETT?
A Man by That Name Working at the Sloss Mnes-He Is Nervous and Very
 Retcent

J. H. Burdett, the party noticed in the State Herald as being missing, has been located. He is working for the Sloss Iron and Steel company.
 Yesterday morning Mr. J. W. Godfrey, timekeeper for the Sloss Iron and Steel company, called at the office of the State Herald and stated that he had noticed in the paper that one J. II. Butdett was missing and his family and friends be- leVed he had been the subject ot 1out play. After reading the article ne re- membered that a man bearing the name of J. H. Burdett and filing the descrip- dion in the paper had been given work to dig ore for the Sloss company Thufs- day, May 2S and had been regularly at work every day since.
 Mir Godfrey said that he did not men, tion to Burdett what he had read in the paper, but began Investigating. Burdett he says, makes a good hand and boards with the family of E. s. Lasemore, a farmer living near the mines. Burdett has been very reticent He appears ner- Vous and has attracted MT. Godtreys at tention several times by watching as If he expected some one to run up on hlm, He has never offered to sell any medicine since he has been in the companyS em- ploy, but has worked regularly every day with the other hands.
 MT Godfrey repeated that while he had not mentioned anything to Burdett of the publication, he was satisfied this man is Burdett from the description pub lished. He is rather tall, dark complex ion, blue eyes, dark mustache and rather heavy eyebrows.
 The mines of the Sloss Iron and Steel company are located about seven miles from the city and it appears quite singu- lar that Burdett should have remained two weeks from his wife, from whom he had never been separated for more than two days before according to her state ment, without writing to her, or in some way letting her know of his whereabout

 Anniston, June -(SpeciaL)-The Col ored State Teachers association met here last night in annual convention and will be in session three days. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Hon.

His speech, after thank ing the city for the welcome extended, continued with good advice to the ne- groes and sound truths as to existing conditions, and it is said to have been the finest, most sensible and most practi- cal discourse ever listened to by those who heard it, the audience including a great many white people.

In the show window of Mrs. NJ. Mitchell can be seen a piece of chris talized work which is beautiful beyond compare. It represents a winter scene. There is q leg hut, of the style of the days of the Ark ansas Traveller, and around it is an old style fence, while in the yard leaning over the eyes of the house is n tree and just beyond this is a we'll; over all of this is covered snow and ice. The work was done by an old lady who lives near Stuttgart. It is certainly artistic and worth see ing.
