Summer Home.
Newport, N. H., June S.--.Austin
Corbin, the multi-millionaire. of New
York. died at 9:42 tonight, from iniur-
les received by the running away of the
horses attached TO his carriage. The
accident occurred about O'Clock this
afternoon, while Mr.. Corbin was driv-
ing form his estate and game preserves,
two miles from here. accompanied by
his grandson, Edgell Corbin, and the
latter's tutor. The driver was John
Stokes.
When coming ont of the entrance
gate, the horses SHE'D, and in their
fright dashed across the street, collid-
ing with high stone wall. The car
riage was overturned sufficiently 60 eject
with great force all its occupants, with
the result that one of Mr.. Corbin's legs
was broken in two places and the other
wrenched. while his head was terribly
bruised. The driver was injured in
ternally and died at 8 o'clock.
Edgell Corhin had one leg broken,
besides other injuries, while the tutor
escaped with severe shaking up.
The first information of the accident
brought to the village was when local
surgical help was summoned. Word
was Immediately dispatched to New
York and Boston for the best of surgi-
cal skill and skilled nurses.

grandson came to their summer home
from New York on Memorial day, and

THE MOSCOW CRUSH.
The Prefect of Police Responsible for
the Disaster.

The Prefect OF Police Responsible for
the Disaster.
Moscow, June 8. Eye witnesses of
the terrible crush ON the Hodynsky
plain Saturday agree that M. Vlassov-
sky, prefeet of police, is chiefly to
blame for the disaster. He huffiy re-
fused military offers of troops to con-
troll the crowd. declaring that he knew
his own business and that there was no
need of any further fear of accident.
Popular feeling against Vlassovsky is
intense, aud his name has become a
curse among the popnlace, who, armed
with bottles and stones, would have
lynched him the same day upon his ar
rival at the plain If he had not had his
route lined with troops and himself
strongly escorted.
1t appears that during the crush a
number of Cossaeks, finding themselves
surrounded, freely used their whips on
the crowd in order to force their way
out. Three were torn from their sad
dies and were killed and this led to the
flight of the others. A number OF peas
ants were drowned in the watts of beer
provided for the feast, in which they
plunged in order to secure the liquor.

EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.
Eighty-Five Miles of Streets Obstructed
in st. Louis.

Eighty-Five Miles of Streets Obstructed
In st. Louis.
st. Louis, June S.-There have been
just eighty five miles of streets OBJ
structed with debris as result Of the
tornado. All of these have been made
passable, and will be cleaned up in ten
days. In the city are $50 miles of i'm
proved streets, SO it can be seen to what
extent the tornado interrupted traffic.
The storm district ON its outside lines,
extended from the river ON the east to
Tower Grove avenue on the west, and
from Oliver street on the north to
Lynch street on the south. This COM
prises an area of six square miles. The
extreme limits were three miles east
and west and two miles north and
south. An adequate idea of the dam
age can be formed when it is stated
that if all the houses damaged and
blown were on both sides of one street,
that street would be just So miles
long. The figures are given by the
street commissioner, who has been
through the entire district, and from
the reports of bis superintendent, who
has cut roadway through the 50 miles
of streets. In addition to this there
were many more streets obstructed by
wires and the like, which cannot be
counted in the total.

Murdered Their Father.

Clay Center, Kan, June 8-Last
evening John McCoy's two sons, Rob-
ert and Angus, shot and probably IA
tally wounded their father, farmer.
The boys rode to town and gave them
selves up. One year ago the parents
were divorced and later the father shot
his wife through window and was
afterward tried and acquitted ON the
ground of insanity. Lately the boys
have been carrying revolvers, with the
knowledge of the county attorney, for
the expressed purpose of defending
themselves if attacked by their father.
Tuesday night the old man took horse
from the home place south of here,
where the mother and children were
living. The boys came up and took
the horse from where their father was
stopping. He mounted another horse
and followed the boys, both of whom
opened fire. A bullet passed through
the fathers lung, lodging near the
backbone. The doctors say he cannot
live
