LONDON, Juno 10.—The supplementary budget submitted by Gladstone is very favorable recived. Espocialgratification is exper enced at the proposal to abolish the malt tax Tho necessity for levying an increased income tax is regretted, but in view of the acknowledged necessities of the Government it is not likely there will be any orgunized opposition.

A conference of the leaders of the Lib eration Society has passed resolutions strongly favoring.the disestablishment of the Church in England and Scotland.

It was hoped that Queen Victoria might be induced to visit Ireland this summer, but she declines to do so.

The Chillians resident iu this city are much elated over the reported capture of Arica by the Cliillian forcc.

CLEVELAND, O., June 10.—Wednesday afternoon, while John Somerhaite and wife were busy in a field on their farm near the town-line road in Parma, Ohio, a tramp approached the house. Several small children were playing about the house, aud seeing the man come up, ran inside and locked the doors. After vainly attempting to effect an entrance at the door, the scoundrel climbed through the window, and going to a bed room where the children had hidden, took a little girl, jed nine years, and carrying her to the oods which were adjacent, occomplished .s fiendish purpose.

The other children, by their shrieks of terror, aroused the whole neighborhood. Several people appeared on the scene and discovered the brute in the dastardly act. Chase WHS immediately made, the man fleeing through' the woods. The pursuit was successful, and on Wednesday even ing the criminal was caught and placed in close confinement.

This morning he was brought to the city aud taken before Justice Bftbcock. An examination was had and the defend ant bound over to the Common Pleas,

The citizens of the vicinity where the foul act was committed talked seriously of lynching the brute (who says his name is John Miller) on Wednesday night, but concluded to let him be dealt with accord ing to law.

give particu

lars of a terrible tornado that swept through the southeastern part of Patta wattamie County last evening. The cy clone or tornado is described by eyewit nesses as something terrible. Storm or wind clouds were first observed forming both east and west of Wheeler's grove, the point where the "most destruction oc curred, and in a short timo came together. The cloud, which was conical in shape, came to the ground near the grove, traveling eastward. The track of tho storm was about half a mile in width and swept everything before it, demolishing farm liouses, barns and other buildings, and carrying some of them bodily tor hundreds ot feet, then dashing them to the ground iu pieceE.

At one place farmer's house surround cd by a frail fence was picked up and then dashed to pieces in the yard, leaving, every board of the fence remain in its place. Tliere were from fifteen to twen ty persons killed outright and many were wounded, while others cannot be found. Thoso known to have been killed were Jessee Osier, wife and two children Wm. Pace, wife and his two children killed, and another child fatally injured. Alex. Osier, wife and child, were carried in the air almost one hundred and fifty feet and seriously injured, the child fatally. The hired man employed by the latter, name unknown, was killed. Other persons, six or eight in number, were carried away, and have not yet been heard from. After the styrm had spent its fury the scene is described as heart-rending in the extreme,

arcnts were looking for their children, for their wires and wives for their husbands.

Not a house in tho track of the tornado was left standing, and there could not be found pieces enough of some to start afire with. The unparalleled storm did not last fifteen minutes, and was not accompanied by rain.

Doctors from this city, R«d Oak, and other points have gone to the scene of tbe disaster, and many citizens from Red Oak, and other points ten miles distant. have gone to assist in taking care of the injured and to help bury the dead, there are no railway or telegraph faculties to the scene of the disaster, and reports are rather meager as yet. It is thought the storm struck other points, but not with so great a force as at Wheeler's grove.

"WASHINGTON, June 10.—'The Morgan joint rule providing for the counting of the Electoral vote, which passed the Senate a few days ago by a strict party vote, was called up in the House to-day, and gave rise to the first political debate for some time. The situation in regard to the measure is this: The Democrats will support it unanimously, while the Republicans are divided, ilany favor filibustering against it, dthers propose to talk it to death, while others oppose all obstructions and propoie to let the measure pass on its merits, if it will. Meantime the Democrats will press it Arguments today ahowed dearly that the Republicans will vote .almost if ~ntot~quittiv solidly against it.

PHILADELPHIA, PEXN., June 10,—Pr. Harris Bloom, 219 South Ninth stredt, was Committed to-day by Magistrate AlcClintock uuder $4,0tK) bnil on the charge of causing abortion. Wednesday afternoon Lieutenant Brown, of the Nineteenth district, was notified that voting woman —Lydia Durz, late of Little Rock, Arkansas, now! residing at S01 Sansome street—was suffering fr6m the effects of an operation performed on her with instruments that had produced abortion, together with Magistrate* McClintock. Lieutenant Browu visited her and found her seriously ill. A child of seven years, her daughter, was playing on the'floor.' The woman spoke reluctantly, and showed dread of publicity. She mado aifidavit that on June 2d she: visited th$ office of Pr. Bloom, ami told him of her condition He promised to see her through for $25 This she paid him. He at once operated upon her and gave her medicine. On the followiug day, feeling ill, she returned to him, but he quieted her fears by telling her that she was getting well* and must not be impatient. Her condition grew worse. Bloom called at her house several times, aiul was very cross toward her. On Wednesday she seemed hovering be tween life nnd death. Having eot this information. Lieutenant Brown immediately sent Special Officers McGarrity and McLaughlin iu quest of Dr. Bloom, whom they secured and brought to the station Bloom was locked up tintil this morning, when lie was sent to prison. Bloom has an unenviable reputation, and it is suid that other charges than this could be brought against him.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.—When the steamer Rhineland, from Antwerp, arri ved at this port to-day two strangers were the first to board the vessel. After a hurried consultation with one of the ship's officers they approached a group of five persons, composing an elderly German woman, a younger woman and three 3roung men, and addressing them in their native language, the man in light clothes said "We tire United States officers, armed with papers for your arrest, for for genes committed in the German Empire." The officers were Deputy U. S. Marshals Frederick Bernhardt aud Wm. Milieu, of New York. The had arrested the entire family, composed of Widow Hatch and her grown children, Alexander, Ernest Clara nod Albert, upon the charge of having forged drafts in the.German Empire to the amount of 30,000 marks, equal to about $12,000 in the United States currency."-' 'v

Immediately after obtaining the money tho family purchased first class privileges on the llhineland, and embarked for America to enjo3r their ill-gotteti gains. The forgeries however, became known shortly after their departure, and their absence increased tho cloud of suspicion, which culminated in the matter being brought to the attention of Herman A. Scliemakcr, Counsel General of the German Empire, who issued the necessary for their arrest

lor tiieir arrest. Placing Deputy arsliall Miller in charge of the prisoners, Deputy Marshal Bernhardt went on deck to examine the families trunks, about six or sevdh in number. The search revealed a lar^e amount of money, besides a large quantity of valuble clothing, jewelry and other articles, which is

tsupposed

to have been purchased with

the money that was' stolen. Aftor completing his examination Bernhardt and his assistant placed the prisoners in a carriage and drove them to the Pennsylvania railroad Depot, in West Philadelphia, wherethey embarktsdon the 8:20 train for New lork. The forgers will be sent back to Germany for trial.

NBW ALBANY, IND., June 10 —The Coroner's investigation of the mysterious death of Captain John-Box wascommenc ed to-day by the examination of witnesses. There were fifteen witnesses called, including five physicians.

Silas Tellon his sister, Julia Tellon, two of the principal witnesses, gave some important testimony. Silas stated that about eight weeks ago, ju*t before the illness, Moses Box, the accused, asked him how much poison it would require to kill a person. Silas told him a few grains. Box said that a druggist said a teaspoonful would kill a whole family. Silas asked him if he was going to kill any body. He said no. Soon after this conversation occured tho sickness of Captain Box and other members of the family. They were taken with violent vomiting and pains. All who drank out of the certain bucket of water from the well were affected. Moses drank out of a jug of mineral water and was not taken ill. Moses had a quarrel with his uncle, Capt Box, on account of Miss King, whom he wanted to marry. Captain Box opposed the marriage. Julia Tellon and Lena Devenish found poison in a vest pocket of Moses Box. When first found there was a tablespoonful, and when subsequently seen there was only half as much. It was labeled poison, with skull and cross-bones.
