Austin Corbin's Career.
Austin Corbin was born on a farm near
Newport, which Is now a part of the sum-
mer residence of his family, and when he
was a boy he used to drive a pair of oxen
into town. He worked with his father in
the field and the forest and went to the
district school three months In the winter.
When he came Of age he went to Daven-
port. Iowa, where he obtained a position as
clerk. Getting a little money ahead he
began to speculate in tax titles and mort
cages and finally started a bank and made
great deal of money. To obtain a larger
field for his talents, he went to New York,
became financier and railway operator.
The Old homestead in the meantime had
passed out Of his fathers hands. and SO
he came back about twenty years ago and
bought 1t, and all the farms around it. He
inclosed the old farmhouse within another
building 80 as to preserve the place in
which he was born. and built himself a
costly mansion. On his sixty-eighth birth
day he was driving a pair Of spirited horses
which became frightened near the entrance
to his grounds, bolted and threw him
from the buggy, killing him instantly.
The estate Is now owned by Austin Cor
bin. jr., his son: Mrs. George S. Edgell. his
daughter, and Mr.. Champollion, his nephew
Newport is manufacturing town of

ever since. Dexter Richards is one of the
characters in "Conston," the rich banker,
and his son. Mr.. Seth N. Richards, the
head Of the family at present is supposed
to have been the model from which Mr..
Churchill drew the portrait Of the rich
young lover of Cynthia. the heroine of the
story. His sketch of the late Dexter Rich
ards !s said to be quite accurate
and brings out some of the strong points
of his character, but Mr.. Seth NJ Richards
assures me that he was never in love with
the adopted daughter OF Jethro Bass, and
never heard of any such girl The late
Mr.. Richards gave a handsome library to
the people of Newport and made many other
benefactions

Lake Sunapee is gradually becoming the
leading summer resort OF New Hampshire,
and q rival of the White mountains. 1t
lies in the southwestern part of the state,
about twenty miles from the Connecticut
river and may be reached by rail from
New York IN eight hours. and from Boston
IN five hours. There are several trains a day.
Until the early eighties Lake Sunapee was
unknown, except to fishermen who used to
bring their tents and camp out in the woods
upon its shores. Now there is summer
population of about 5000. who are taken
care of in five large hotels and fifty or
more boarding houses while more than 200
villas and cottages of different dimensions
and degrees of luxury are occupied by peo-
pie from New York. Philadelphia, BostoD
and other large cities of the east. The first
hotel was built In 1882; then cottagers came
in, and put up a few rough cabins, and
gradually rich people learned of the beauti-
full scenery and the health-giving and
strength giving properties of the atmos-
pherc, and began to buy land and build
villas and bungalows.

was one of the earliest and most enthusi-
