Murderous Crnnk-A Servant Girl Who
 Tried to Kill Her SIeepiDS Mistress
 PHILADELPHIA, March 9-A German ser want girl, named Catharine Metzgar, in the employ of Samuel May, at No. 2,021 North street. made an attempt this morning to murder her mistress, Mrs. Lizzie May, and the Iatters child. She got up in the middle of the night, went to the cellar and procured hatchet, which she hid under the bed At half-past 5 this morning she arose again and banding over Mrs. May, who was sleeping In bed, seized her by the hair and beat her about the head with the blunt end of the hatchet desperate struggle ensued, dur. ing which Mrs May wrenched the hatchet from Catharine's hand. The girl then seized & bottl of bay rum which stood on the bu- reau and flung it at Mrs. May. The missile missed it's mark and struck the infant, Ed ward who was asleep in the crib, breaking his skull The struggle between the two women was then recommended, and end ed by Mrs. May throwing the servant out of the room and locking the door. Her cries brought the police The girl then went to the bathroom, washed the blood from the hatchet and lay down in bed, where the po- lice found her. Mrs. May is 8 young wo- man, and has been married about two years Her husband is out of town.
 The girl, who came here from Germany three months ago, had only been week in the employ of the May family. She is only eighteen years old, and gives no other reason for the murderous assault than that she was prompted for several days to do it. It is thought that the girl is insane, as she claims that she WAS directed by some unseen power in a dream to murder the mother and babe She has been committed to await the result of the injuries inflicted upon her victims.

 Carey the Informer-HIs Past Record
 Coming to LISht-SOIid Comfort in His
 Prison CeII-The Driver Of the Famous
 Car.
 DUBLIN, March 9.-The personal and pub lie history of James Carey. the informer, is being gradually amplifed, and the more light thrown on his antecedents the more re- pulsive they become. There seems not the slightest doubt that Carey wrote the letter which was received by Miss Burke immedi- ately after the murders and that he did it with the object of bringing it forward in his defense at some future time. A letter is published from former member of the Home Manufacturer association giving an account of the association. On Tuesday evening, May 9, 1882, it appears that reso- lution of abhorrence at the Phoenix Park crime was proposed and the writer of the resolution wished to add clause of sympa- thy with the victims of the assassination. Carey entered the room while the matter was being discussed and he asked in an excited manner what was going on. The chairman informed him and he said, fI would rather propose 8 vote of sympathy with the victims at Belmullet," referring to an afray which had occurred between the people ana the po- lice on the previous Friday evening in which couple of boys were shot. Ultimately the resolution of abhorrence was carried and the sympathy amendment was withdrawn. Some curious incidents are now coming to light re- garding the demeanor of the prisoners since the murders and prior to their arrest. It is stated that Kavanagh made no secret of the fact that he drove the car. He used to ask people how they would like to sit on a car and see two men murdered and then drive the murderers away. He was always, how ever. regarded as half-crazed and his friends thought he had been breeding over the de l tails of the crime then known to the public Daniel Ourley was not long before his arrest l walking up Sackville street with some fellow l workmen when he remarked that he would soon be the owner of half that Fstreet.

 ST. LOUIS, March 9.-A Globe-Demoerat correspondent, who reached Helena yester- day from Memphis by the steamsr Ohouteau, gives the following view of the situation along the river bank: There are not more than two or three spots of ground between Memphis and this point Scores of the best farms in Arkansas and Mississippi are com pletely ruined and most of them are aban- doned, the owners and laborers having fled to higher ground. In many places the cattle are standing in water which overhows the platforms and almost every gin house is filled with colored people. At Harbut's Landing there are eighteen negroes in two boats moored to tree on the flooded bank waiting impatiently for steamboat to take them away. There is not foot of dry land in forty miles. Skif loads of colored people with their household g6ods are to be seen at various points seeking for ground to rest on. At Sterling colored people, horses and cattle are indiscriminately huddled in the upper story of the only store there. Most of the fences and houses along the bank of the

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Reporters Canard-The Rumored Att
 tempt to Assassinate BIaine-Nothing g
 to the story-The Happenings of the
 Day at the Capital.
 WASHINGTON, March 9. - Investigation shows that the report of an alleged attempt ed assassination of MT. Blaine some days ago has no foundation, and is 9 mere piece of sensation. MT. Blaine, speaking of the re- ported shot at the carriage in which he was riding, said this morning that the whole story was ridicufously absurd one The report was published in a local paper when the reporter who wrote it, Mir. Blaine says, knew it to be false 'sThe fact is, he con- tinued, 'that did ride with Mckinley from the Capitol on Thursday night, February 22, and no incident occurred during our ride. I remember that Mckinley threw away his cigar because the windows were closed, and, had @ pistol ball entered the carriage, it must either have gone through, making two holes, or it would have been found in the carriage; when in fact neither is the truth. Again, I certainly should have no- ticed the hole in the glass had there been one there, and I don't think that should have remained covered with glass splinters without being aware of the fact. I heard nothing of the story until the next morning, hen the livery stable proprietor came to make complaint about the damage to the carriage. My theory is that the glass was broken by stone after I had dismissed the carriage.'' Your correspondent made an examination of the broken window at the hv- cry stable this morning. and is of the opinion, from the character of the hole, that the fracture was not made by bullet The hole is too irregular and the glass too much shat tered to have been caused by pistol ball.
 Colonel Maurice Pinchover, a well known crank, created considerable excitement in the Treasury department to-day by demanding $40, GOO, GOO from Assistant Secretary New. His demand was not complied with and he was put out of Mir. News office. He then called on Treasurer Gilfllan and made the same demand. He was finally ejected from the building

The police intercepted march of five hundred who were on their way to the palace of the Elysee, the residence of President Grevy, and dispersed the party. The affair was fasco, but the alarm it cre- ated was sufficient to cause the closing of many shops along the line of the procession.

! river are still intact, though many have float l ed away. At Star Landing the dwellings are i full of cattle and the gin houses full of ne- 1 groes. It is probable that there will be big l rise below here, as the flow of water from the St. Francis river is undiminished. Captain Thoreregan of the steamer Chou teau thinks there is unprecedented higk wa ter between Vicksburg and New Orleans on account of the closing of the Bonnet Carre crevasse. The bridge and trestle over Cassa- dos lake on the Iron Mountain road, west of here, was discovered to be afloat last night from the backwater coming up from the levee below here. This will cut Helena of from railroad communication, as railroad men say it will be impossible to get trains out until the water subsidies.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 9.-There has been no material change in flood matters since yesterday. The levee in Louisiana stood the storm without serious damage. Overflow at EIIeslie, Miss, is not so serious ss it was ex- pected it would be. The water is not much if any higher

Governor Porter and the relief committee began their trip down tho Ohio from Law renceburg to Cairo to meet all wants on both sides of the river. The total receipts, $39,- 900, are ample for all present demands No new cases of suffering have come to light.
 MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 9.-The river here has reached two inches during the past forty-eight hours. At Osceola, ninety miles above here, the water has fallen over foot. Clear weather over the entire lower country encourages the belief that the river will soon be within it's banks. No details beyond those already reported are to be obtained re- garding the overfowed country lying between Helena, ninety miles to the south, and the New Madrid region, one hundred and fifty miles to the north Planters are patiently awaiting the subsistence of the waters to com mence putting in the spring crops.

EIoped From Prison-The Remarkable
 Escape of a Pair of Jail Birds. NEWPORT March 9.-Katie Judd, of Bos- ton, who set fire to the Weaver villa, escaped from the county jail last night in company with @ young man named George Rounds, under arrest for breaking and entering the house of H. A. Wright, of New York. Their escape was remarkable one. The woman wrenched two iron legs off her bedstead, and with these dug an eleven by ten hole through the foot thick brick wall of her cell into 8 vacant cell adjoining. To crawl through this hole she must have taken of every stitch of clothing From this cell she es- capped to the corridor through door left unbolted. In some way she effected an en trance to the jaiIer's dining room, took the keys to Rounds cell and let him out. The two then stopped the dining room and kitch- en clocks at 11:27 to indicate the time of their departure and walked cut of the un- locked back door. The woman had evident ly been at work on the hole in her cell wall for some days and had hid the debris in her bed. Both prisoners are smart and desper- ate It is believed that their -elopement must have been aided by some one who was thoroughly familiar with the workings of the jail. If not, it was one of the smartest jobs ever accomplished.
 Kate Judd left letter in her cell saying the confession made at the time of her arrest was induced by false statements; admitting that she stole Mrs. Weaver's clothes, but de- nying firing the house. She thanks the jail ers wife for kindness to her and tells the au- thorities to look for her in Sligo, Ireland. Some time ago the taller was handed 8 letter from Rounds to Judd arranging plans for an escape and meeting outside, and the plan ap- pears to have been long arranged.
