Is pupil at the North school building, and
about that time had received permission to
retire for few minutes. She had hardly
left the school-room when q man
forced his entrance to the place where
the child was and horribly mutIlated
her. Her screams, prompted by agony,
aroused the teachers in the building
and the man ran to make his escape. He
was recognized. however. as one George
Stottsberry. q former ball-player In the
Newark ball team. The police were prompt
ly Informed and in few minutes the
was lodged il the city prison and great
the prominent hotels talking of the crime.
At1P. VI. Stottsberry was transferred from
the city prison to the county Jail for safe

with people olamorng for his im-
mediate Iynchlng. At about 9:30 p. NJ.
the mob surrounded the jail, forced

The mob did not secure the prisoner. how

Chancellor of tho Exchequer Goschen Pre-
sents the Budget to the Commons.
LONDON. April 11.-Mr. Goschen, Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, presented the
budget in the House of Commons to-day.
which showed a surplus of fl.O67.OO0. In
the last budget the estimate of expendi-
lures was 200. 264. 900. The actual ex-
penditures were EOS, 92a. 600. leaving . sur
plus of fS36.OOO. This was remarkably
small difference between the estimates and
actual expenditures. The total estimates
of expenditure during the last three years
was f264. 100000. The total difference in
the expenditures was only fl37. 1000. This
statement was received with cheers.
Analysing the revenue. Mr.. Geschen said
that the customs produced f19, 736. 900. be-
ing f36,000 above the sum calculated upon.
1t was not alcohol that caused tho increase
this year. but tobacco. The revenue tax
from tea was exceedingly satisfactory,
yielding f34000 over the estimate. To-
bacco produced 1855, 600. being f4lS,000
above the previous year. All this. Mr..
Goschen declared, proved that wages had
not fallen, and that there was still widely
dlhused prosperity among workingmen.
The excise revenue showed f543, 0C0 over
the estimate. The increase in the con-
sumption of home spirits was greater in
England than, In Ireland or Scotland, be-
ing 6l9 per cent. in England, against S5
IN Scotland and l per cent. In Ireland.
More spirits were consumed than beer.
Mr.. Goschen estimated the revenue for
the current financial year at f9O.4i70O0,
and the expenditures at $50. 253. 600. leaving
a small margin of f224. 900. This will not
allow of remission of taxation, with the
exception of q minor reduction In patent
fees. absorbing 100000. and the fixing of
the duty on sparkling wines from Is Cd and
Is per gallon at n uniform rate of e. Mr..
Goschen spoke for two hours. He an
nounced the resignation of Mr. West, chair
man of the Inland Revenue Board.
Mr.. Gladstone suggested that the House
follow the usual custom and avoid discus
sion of the budget until the day fixed for
its mature consideration. He hoped the
change of duty on sparkling wines. while
beDehtting some wine prOdu cing countries,
would not involve trouble on other conn
tries. He eulOgized the services of Mr..
West. Tho resolution concerning wines
was passed. Mr.. Goschen fixed the gen.
eral discussion on the budget for April2l.
The pOintless character of the budget
disappoints oil parties. The COnserva-
tives, in the lobby. did not attempt TO dis
guise their regret that Mr. Goschen had
presented statement containing nothing
that would influence the popular vote in
the general elections. The Liberals, who
had expected some comp to attract electors
TO the Conservative side. were pleasantly
surprised by the harmless character of Mr..
Goschen's statement.
