RISKS HIS OWN LIFE ~
s. TO SAVE TWO WOMEN
George S. Barnes Narrowly Escapes
Collision and Then Runs Machine
Into a Tree, Badly Wrecking It.

y Risking his own life rather than
cause the slightest injury: to two women
George S. Barnes ran his automobile
squarely into tree at First avenue s,
and Tenth street late yesterday, re-
& tceiving several slight in uries and
damaging his machine to the extent of
$3.50.
= His escape from death or serious in
Jury was miraculous. He was driving
his machine along Tenth street toward
First avenue s at a moderate speed
) when his wheels skidded and he sud
denly perceived that a collision with a
street car might result. Taking the
risk he threw on full speed and dashed
in front OF the car, barely clearing the
! fender. Once past the car, his ma
chine skidded again and ran to the
curb, but. by prompt action he again
brought it to. the pavement, tho he
was still going at high speed
His efforts to control the auto turned
the machine toward the curb. Suddenly
she saw two women ahead of him. It
was injury for the women or himself
and without a second thought he
turned toward the curb, intending to
$50 between two trees and on the side
walk. Again the auto skidded be-
cause of the wet pavement and instead
of taking the expected path, went di.
rectly into the tree like a gathering
ram. The force of the collision de-
molished the entire front works, crush
ing the radiator and Earring the engine
from its bed. Mr. Barnes was badly
shaken up but received no serious
injuries, while the frightened women
escaped without scratch.

sToLYPIN A HATED MAN

s New. York, Aug. 25.-Alexander
stolypin in his career has served no
factions, and, in consequence, made few
friends. He refused to aid the mobiles
in rebuilding the shattered will Of
privileges with which they hoped to
again surround thmselves and likewise
would not permit the revolutionists
and reformers to rush to mad extremes.
Throwing personal ambition aside to
steer a middle course, one which it is
generally believed, he considered the
only means to bring Russia thru her
present crisis.
Because they believed that in a
measure he was espousing the popular
cause, the aristocracy took violent ex-
ception to many Of his plans and tho
people, because he refused to give them
a free hand in assauIting the aristoc-
racy, hated him. So few friends did it
find him that for more than month he
has been vainly trying to complete j
cabinet. 81 s
stolypin was appointed premier on
July 23. He replaced .Goremykin, in
whose ministry he held the portfolio
Of interior, a post that he did not re-
| Hnquish. Previous to entering. the
cabinet his career had been largely in
/ the provinces and he was little known
in ST. Petersburg. The most import
ant post he had held was governor Of
I 6aratof.

HILL PLANS. BIG COUP;
stockholders BOON
Vast Ore Land Deal Said to Be
Contemplated by the Rail-
way Magnate. IL
Special to The journal.

Boston, Aug. 25.-It is stated here
today that a big Hill railroad coup
is coming shortly that will bring $780,
100000 to $200,000,000 profit to Great
Northern stockholders, and also a big
profit to Northern Pacific. q.
The report is persistent that Great
Northern will form a new holding
company to take over its ore lands
and issue a stock bonus to Great
Northern stockholders which are al
ready being operated to a large extent
by the Great Northern's subsidiary,
the Lake Superior company, limited.
The big profits of this company piled
up for several years past have never
been distributed to Great. Northern
stockholders and best opinion is that
thru this concern the Great Northern
Hmelon'' is soon to come. 49, 20
Men in close touch with the situation
say that Mr.. Hill intends to purchase
for Great Northern the Northern Pa
elf c equity in the Burlington as soon
as the ore deal is completed. This will
mean an enormous profit for Northern
Pacific and explains much of the late
bull talk on that stock.

ST.. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-The cor.
respondent of the Associated Press Wis
tied the Stolypin villa and obtained
from one of the PREMIER secretaries,
from a sergeant of police and from
some of the survivors the following ac-
count of the event.: "*-"2 :,5 :.
The police sergeant who was stand
ing. at corner of the house, about
twenty yards from the entrance, no
ticed a landau roll up the carriageway
and stop in front Of the door. " The
three occupants of the carriage-one of
whom wore the uniform q en- officer of
gendarmes, while the others were in the
livery Of -functionaries; Of Che ministry
Of the interior and who were osteni
tentatiously laughing and chatting as
they approached the house-descended
from the carriage, one of them carrying
an article. about foot high, resembling
gilded vase. = nv 81,
They assembled the steps, passing az
rectly in front of the policemen at the
door and had scarcely disappeared in
side the house when a. thunderous explo-
sion was heard.
Louder than Cannon. .:4:- .
The police sergeant, who had started
to walk toward the landau thinks that
the revolutionists carrying the bomb
must have dropped it accidentally OF
Intentionally. in the little anteroom of
he reporters lodge, just inside the en-
trance. -.
The explosion, which was louder
than the report Of large cannon, tore
out large section Of the front wall
Of the villa, demolishing the partition
walls inside and brought the upper
story down in clouds Of mortar and
splintered. wood. -. .. !.
When the dust had cleared away. the
sergeant saw the mangled body Of the
porter, a policeman and three revolu-
tionists on the ground in front Of the
door. .s. Gsr: 49,, 49,, .
The landau, which had been stopped
directly in front Of the entrance, was
lying on the driveway, mass Of twisted
and shattered wood and iron. ..y...
About ten yards from the door was
the driver, who it is thought was also
a revolutionist, and who had been killed.
The horses were wounded, but only
in their hind legs. ' ~. -, -
At the moment of the explosion, q
large reception room at the left Of the
anteroom was filled with crowd of
officials and visitors, as today was the
Premier's reception day. M. Stolypin
himself received his guests. ~. - =.

After the explosion Of the bomb a
few moments Of stupefaction followed
among the uninjured survivors and per-
sons in the neighborhood, including
a number Of soldiers from a grenadier
regiment, rushed to the spot and com
menced to carry away the dead and
wounded from the villa, which had now
caught fire as a result Of the explo-
sion Of the bomb. 49, H..
The exact number of killed or wound
ed was not known as this dispatch was
forwarded, owing to the frightfully
mutilated state Of many Of the corpses
and the fact that some of the wounded
were carried to nearby residences and
had not yet been accounted for. It
was believed, however, that twenty five
persons were killed and twenty-four
wounded persons were taken to neigh
boring hospital. - =
