A Lender special lrom Springfield, Ohio, says a terrible cyclone struck Washington C. Ohio, a city of 4,000 inhabitants, twenty-five miles of here at p. and almost literally scalped it from the earth. It broke upon the town suddenly, carrying everything before it. The tornado whirled up Court street, the main business thoroughfare, and ruined almost every business block on it, at least forty or fifty in all.

Hardly a private residence in the town escaped, fully four hundred buildings going down. The Baptist, Presbyterian and Catholic churches all suffered the common fate. All the railroad depots were blown to smithereens, and every building in the vicinity was carried away, making ingress or egress almost impostible. As every wire within a circle of two miles is blown down it is utterly impossible to get details of the catastrople. Searching parties were organized and the sad work of looking for the began.

So far fifteen bodies have been recovered from the debris of various ruined buildings, and the dreary work is just beginning to get under way.

The skipper of the Geneata pointed right toward the Puritan in an endeavor to take the latter's wind away. The captain of the Puritan believed he could cross the Genesta's bow, and tried to do go.

The result was a foul, in which thft Genesta's bowsDnt was carried away and the mainsail of the Puritan badly torn. The consternation on the Judges' boat and on the yachts was great, and those who were not near enough to see were at raid the yachts were injured below the water line. It was a foul, pure and simple, upon the part of the Puritan, and wasldue to the fact her skipper thought he could bring her before she wind faster than he did.

It was only by luck further accidents were avoided, for alter the collision all visiting and attendant ht Genes ran ud close to the Puritan and Genesta and several fouls occurred.

The Puritan was entirely at fault for to day's collision off the Scotland lightship. The committee ruled the Puritan out and told Sir Richard Sutton he might sail over the course if he wished. 1 he latter declined the offer with thanks. No one was injured. Both boats were towe to Staten Island and will probably sail Friday.

The examination of Mr. Stead, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette and others, defend ants in the xuiza Armstrong abduction case, was resumed this morning. Mrs.

Armstrong, mother of Eliza, testified that Mrs. arrett obtained her daughter from her on the plea of needing the child to assist in the housework of her home. The witness scouted the idea she knew anything of the character of Mrs. Jarrett other than was represented by the prisoner herself, and denied in an emphatic manner that she had sold her daughter for immoral purposes. pon cross-examination Eliza Armstrong stated her father, mother and six children lived in one room.

She admitted, with the exception ot the indignities referred to in her testimony yesterday, her abductors had treated her kindly. Eliza, on her lurther cross-examination, frequently contradicted herself, and her evi dence conflicted with that of her mother. She confessed that she did not go to sleep when the handkerchief saturated with chloroform was applied to her nose during what was called "the momentary surprise ot a medical examination.

Paris, September 8. A majority of the newspapers in this city expect that the strong anti-German feeling provoked throughout Spain by the Carolines aflair. will result in a revolution in that country as the people manifest a hostile feeling against King Alfonzo and his ministry for their actions respecting the German occupation of Yap. Ex-Queen Isabellaof Spain, in an interview, expressed herself as hope- iul ot an amicable settlement ot the diffi culty between Spain aud Germany. XEW SPANISH PREMIER.

An authorized report is published that at a cabinet counci Senor Canovas del Costello told King Al fonzo unless he trusted the ministry he would summon Senor Segasta, whose en ergy would probably bring about a rupture with Germany and increase the popularity of King Altonzo. At the same time he depreciated such a course until diplomacy had been exhausted.

King Alfonzo, without hesitation, de cided he had confidence in Senor Canovas cabinet and would mantain it in preference to popularity with the people at the expen of bloodshed. His Majesty was convinced Emperor William would meet him halfway in his desire tor peace. King -Si Ifonzo tel egraphed Count Uenomar, bpanish Ambas sador at lierlin, accordingly.

Two alleged Cacadian swindlers were lodged in Ludlow street jail to-day by Deputy heriff Brown. They were Solomon Levine and Isaac R'jsenstone, late dealers in jewelry in Montreal. In the early part of the summer, Levine and Rosenstone opened a jewelry store in Montreal. By representing themselves as good for a large amount of money they obtained J15.000 to $20,000 of jewelry on credit from various firms. Not long after they closed their store and left for British Columbia, taking all the jewelry with them.

Their creditors soon learned of the state of affairs and placed the case in the hands of detectives who succeeded in ascertaining that Rosenstone and Levine had. after selling the jewelry in British Columbia at filty cents on the dollar, left there for the United States. Before doing so they had sent word to their wives in Montreal of their movement. The wives. on the 31st of last month, lelt tor this city.

The two detectives followed them to the Grand Central Depot here, when they were lost sight of. The aid of Pinkerton's detectives was then called in and the trunks of the wives located at the office of the National express company, 145 Broadway, where they had been sent to be called for on Saturday last. A detective accidentally met Rosenstone and his wife in a Grand street car, and fallowing them found they were stepping at No. 121 Henry street. Watch was kept on the house.

Late last night Levine also appeared on the scene, calling on Rosenstone. As soon as he entered the detectives followed and captured both men. The Indiana Frandsi. Washington, September There are some new developments in the Davies county trustee frauds. Grimsley.

Brown and Ciark, the absconding trustees, have been seen and interviewed in Hamilton, Ontario. J. C. Billheimer, one of the attorneys of Washington, went to Canada shortly alter they disappeared and came across them in Hamilton. Billheimer.who has just returned, says: When 1 arrived in Hamilton, I found three of the gloomiest trusu-cs I ever saw in my life: they looked -ad and forsaken but offered no ap.

lories or explanations concerning tbtir chf ires. They tlamed a Chicago party fi a god part of the mischief." fl don't believe the three trustees have much left, but I think the Chicago man beat them out of about all they raised on the fraudulent warrants, because the paper was mace out to his order and he made no promise to hand over the money to them as he disposed of the papers. It is a fact, however, that neither of them can approximate how much paper thev had issued. The total amount cannot be less than for the three townships. This, and the tact that Posey county has discovered an apparently illegal issue of $8,00 of certificates by a former trustee, has caused consternation among the peop'eof this section, and may result in an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of amending the laws, which at present allows township trustees almost unlimited power in raising money for which value received does not enter as a consideration.

John B. Clawson, trustee of Warren township. Warren county, is reported as having issued fraudulent warrants to the amount of He is missing. The county commissioners have cited all the township trustees to appear and make a showing cf their transactions. Singular foisonlng Case Lrbana, beptember p.

lhere is much excitement at St. Joseph, thi3 county, over three mysterious deaths which have occurred within a short time in one family, Mrjand Mrs. Hiram Peabody were prominent residents. Miss Belle Hasty, a young woman of fine character and pleasant manners, lived with the Peabody family and was said to be engaged to young Silas Peabody. Young Peabody's parents, particularly his mother, were opposed to this marriage, owing to Miss Hasty's poor health.

On August 2d, Mrs. Peabody died very suddenly of what apeared to be neuralgia of the stomach. On August 17th Mr. Peabody died with the same symptoms. On September 1st Miss Hasty and young Silas Peabody were taken with the same symptoms and the young lady died, while the young man has recovered.

Since that time suspicion has been awaked by the alleged disco-very cf a package of rat poison pinned to an under garment, which Miss Hasty had laid or!" just b-fore her death. That the latter had poisoned Mr. and Mrs. Peabody with the hopes marrying the son and then concludfd to kill him and herself is believed.
