AN VICTIM.
Desperate Struggle Between Two Women,
Resulting in the Death of a Babe.

PHILADELPHIA, March "a German serv-
ant girl, Catharine Metzgar, in the employ of
Samuel May, attempted to murder Mrs. May
and the %latter's child this morning. She as
saulted the former with a Ratchet and frac-
tured the skull of the child with a bottle. 1t
is believed Mrs. May will recover, but the
child will die. The girl came from Germany
three months ago, and gives no other reason
for her murderous assault than that she was
directed by some unseen power in a dream
to commit the deed. No doubt she is in
sane.
Investigation shows that the mortal wounds
inflicted upon the baby were accidental. 1t
seems the servant first seized Mrs. May, while
that lady was asleep, by the hair, and beat
her about the head with the blunt end of q
Ratchet. A desperate struggle ensued, and
Mrs. May wrenched the Ratchet from Cath
arine's hand. The girl then seized a bottle
of bay rum which stood on the bureau and
flung it at Mrs. May. The missile missed its
mark and struck the infant, which was asleep
in its crib, breaking its skull. The struggle
between the women was renewed, and ended
by Mrs. May throwing the servant out of the
room and locking the. door. Her cries
brought the police. The girl went to the
bathroom, washed the blood from the
Ratchet, and laid down in bed, where the DO
lice found her. Mrs. May is Il young woman,
and has been married about two years.

Bob Toombs Deeply Affected at the Loss of
His Best Friend.
Atlanta Special.
General Toombs visited the chamber. He
entered leaning on the arm of Colonel John
Stephens. 1t ives evident that he was deeply
affected as he passed into the hall where his
lifelong friend lay in his casket. AS General
Toombs approached the bier he was greatly
moved, and when his eyes rested upon the
face of mis- friend, the tears trickled down his
cheeks. anxious to conceal his emotion,
and choking with grief, he turned and left
the chamber. The spectacle was one never
to be forgotten. A thousand e~ulogies could
not have expressed as much as did the tears
that trickled down the face of that last of
the trio of giants. There must have been
something particularly sad to General Toombs
in the death of Governor Stephens. AL
though slightly the elder of the two, General
Toombs has for more than forty years been a
devoted friend to the frail and delicate man
who had all his life lived in the shadow Of
death. They had lived but a short distance
from each other; ones home was the others
home when occasion could make it so. They
had been in public life together, had become
great together, and together illustrated their
native State and honored their section. There
were three giants-Hill, Stephens and
Toombs-men who made their national rep
utation. Hill not a year ago was buried;
delicate Stephens outlived him, but he, too,

As the hearse drew up in front of the Cot
ting vault, in Oakland Cemetery, the sun
was just sinking behind the crest of Kenesaw,
and a gentle light pervaded the ground.
General Toombs, Senator Brown, Governor
Smith, and the other pallbearers sadly took
hold of the casket, and, amid the most
deadly silence and sensation, placed in the
crypt the body of the most wonderful man
Georgia ever produced. Bishop Beckwith,
of the Episcopal church,, conducted the
services. A prayer was offered by DR..
Talmage. of New York, and just as the dark
ness began to grow deeper the assembly dis
persed, having done honor to the dead, as
they had to the living. Among the very last
to leave the scene was Toombs, who sobbed
like a child, exclaiming: Poor Aleck! He
was the truest man l ever knew"

A Shadow Cast Upon the City's Credit by
the Action of the Authorities.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March Ex-senator Frye,
of Maine, writes to Minister Foster, who is a
citizen of Evansville, asking him about the
rumor of an intended reduction OF a portion
of the interest on the bonded debt. He says
Evansville has always maintained a high
character in the East. Her securities have
been largely taken by savings institutions
and colleges, generally for investments for
trust funds, and are held in New England by
entirely innocent holders. He asks: rs
there any danger hat your people, when
they understand the question in its length
and breadth and consider the effect the ru-
mored action may have upon their future
credit, will allow so serious a blow to fall
upon their good character and their pros
perity?'
Minister Foster replies, thanking Senator
Frye for the opportunity of making a for NAL
declaration of his conviction that there IS no
such disposition on the part of a large ma
jority of our citizens. He says: "For sew
eral years past Evansville has been very am
bilious to keep pace with the several cities
in the Mississippi valley, and has voted
large sums to facilitate railroad, building.
and this action has resulted in heavy
bonded indebtedness. To meet the interest,
considerable economy will be required in
municipal expenditures. 1t is probable that
for several years past sufficient prudence has
not been exhibited in the city administra-
ton, and as the time for payment of interest
approaches, the city treasury, through bad
management, is found depleted. This
state of things has led to the mayors
circular proposing a reduction
OF interest to 4 per cent" Mr.. Foster says
he is satisfied it was issued without due CON
sideration, and that the city authorities have
not intended to offer it as an alternative of
reputation, and that, although the debt is
a heavy one, we are abundantly able TO meet
the interest and redeem the principal as it
comes due. The responsible citizens will not
allow temporary improvidence in the admin
i~stration to cause a default in the interest
payments. Mr.. Foster says the subject is
likely to enter into the city election, next
month, and he believes the new council
elected will promptly correct any neglect or
failure of the present council to meet the
financial obligations.
Minister Foster also writes a long letter to
Mayor Bridwell, giving his views in full on
the subject, with suggestions as to what
ought to be done.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
He Is Quietly Attending to His Duties in a
Dignified Manner.

boston journal. q Nh- b.
During the late session of Congress news
paper readers must have noticed the silence
that has prevailed regarding President Ar
thur. This is sure indication that he has
been attending to his duties in a manner to
meet the general approval of the country,
since it never occurs to people or newspapers
to speak in praise of a man who atte ads
faithfully to his duties. For months Presi-
dent Arthur has been growing in the regard
and confidence of the country. On no &C.
casion does he forget that he is President of
the United States. His policy has been, and
is, to secure that tranquility which is so neces-
sary to the general prosperity. In relation to
the civil service he has shown a disposition
to meet the demands of the best sentiment
OF the country. For the most part his APP
pointments have been excellent. In his own
State, where it is impossible to please all fac
tions, he has been sufficiently discreet to es-
cape violent criticism. Had he taken the
advice of lifelong friends he would not only
have filled mary offices with former political
associates who are not popular, but he'would
have destroyed the Republican organization.
AS it is, the ill-feeling is confined to the APP
pointments of a few postmasters which, in
any event.. frequently cause local divisions.
In short, President Arthur appears to be adj
ministering his high Office solely with the
purpose of promoting the general welfare of
all sections. and it is not too much to add
that the intelligent, people OF the country,
regardless Of party, have faith in his ability
and sincere purpose to give them a safe and
efficient administration of their government.

New York, March 0.-McGloin and
Malone were hanged at S:12 this morning.
Both men were pronounced dead at 1922.
Pasquale Malone awoke this morning and
dressed with care. McGloin had to be
awakened half an hour later. Both said
they felt we'll. Last night they had .ex-
pressed an intention of sitting up all night,
but shortly after midnight retired and
seemed nxiou to devote every moment of
their few remaining hours to religious con-
versation and exercises with their spiritual
advisers. After they had arisen, Fathers
Dunanguet and Auxcletus went to their
cells and Joined them in prayer. The men
then went to the chapel in the prison to
attend mass; to do so they had to pass under
the gallows. McGl DIN, bore the sight with
tirmuess, but Malone burst forth into tears
and buried his face in his handkerchief
A number of boys and women prisoners gath

Both attended the devotions with the great
est apparent piety, and partook of the holy
sacrament, On the return from the chapel
to the cells they had again to pass beneath
the gallows, but neither seemed to notice it.
They spoke a few words of greeting to two

way back to the cells, and their demeanor
was calm and collected.
Shortly after this they partook of breakfast
with apparent relish, and McGloin conversed
pleasantly with his counsel. He thanked him
for his services and then babe him Il
last farewell. The religious ministrations
of the clergymen were then resumed, and
continued up to the time when the sheriff
and un~der-sheriG announced that the hour
had come for the reading of the condemned
mems death warrants. Both men bore the
terrible ordeal without finching, and then
the executioner appeared and fixed the fatal
moses about their necks and the black caps
on their heads. Religious exhortations were
continued by the priests and joined in by
both the condemned. Both men were firm
when marched to the ~gallows, on reaching
which they fell on their knees and prayed
aloud with the priests. The drop fell at S:12,
three minutes after the prisoners entered the
yard. Death was instantaneous.

1t is not denied in any quarter that the late
Democratic Assembly was a parody upon

ask the young men of the country if they
can afford to identify themselves with the
Democratic party on this state of facts? The
record of that party since 1861 has been any
'hing but commendable. If there is one
bright spot in it we would be glad to have it
pointed out.
