The Rushing Waters Playing Havoc.

ST. LOUIS. March 9.-The Globe
Democrats correspondent, who reached
Helena yesterday from Memphis by the
steamer Chemta, gives the following
view of the situation along the rive.
bank: There are not more than 2 or 8
spots Of ground visible between Mem
phis and this point. Scores of the best
farms in Arkansas and Mississippi are
completely ruined and most of them
are abandoned. In many places the
cattle are standing in the water, and
almost every gin house is filled with
colored people. 1t is probable that
there will be big rise below here as
the flow Of water from the st Francis
River is undiminished.

A Sooiable.

On Friday evening OF last week,
anumber of the friends of Miss An.
ME Hayes, assembled at her resi-.
dence to welcome her back home
and spend pleasant evening. Miss
Mary served as our kind hostess
and acquitted herself in a manner
well deserving the title given her
by the boys-"Miss President
All enjoyed the music, for there
were varieties to please every one.
We had sacred hymns and songs,
waItzes, plantation songs and all
others. Miss Mary presided at the
organ, but none of the young ladies
and gentlemen hesitated to play
their favorite piece. Many games
were enjoyed, such as checkers,
cards, &c, but no kisses. Then the
refreshments were unsurpassed. We
will not tell just where nor how the
MESSENGER was, but Billy Foster

servant girl named Cdtharine Metzpar.
in the employ of Samuel May, at No
2,02l North 9TH street, made an attempt
this morning to murder her mistress,
Mrs Lizzie May, and the latter's child.
The servant got up in the middle of the
night, went to the cellar and procured
Ratchet which she had under the bed.
At half-past this morning, she arose
again and bending over Mrs May, who
was sleeping in bed, dealt her several
blows on the head with the Ratchet.
Mo Mays cries brought in a policeman
who promptly seized Catharine. In the
meantime she had thrown a bottle at
Mrs Mays eight months old son. Ed

bed and fractured his skull. 1t is be-
lieved that Mrs May will recover but
the infant will die. The girl had come
here from Germany months ago and
had only been week in the employ of
the May family. She Is only Is years
old and gives no other reason for the
murderous assault than that she was
prompted for several days to do it.

CLEVELAND, March 2l.-Every day or
two rumor Is put In circulation to the
effect that Brown, Bonnell & Co. intend
only to remain in operation long enough
to work off the surplus stock and to fill
some paying orders on the books at the
time Of the Ayres failure. One Of these
rumots was widely circulated Monday, oc-
casioning considerable uneasiness through
out the city. A correspondent made dill
gent inquiry in all the avenues for reliable
information on this subject with view to
getting at the facts. About the only foun.
dation that can be found for the rumor is
the fact that the company is buying no
more stock than Is necessary to round up
with. "There Is nothing strange about
that" said well.informed iron operator.
ut is just the thing wise manager would
do in starting out, and just the thing that
ought to be done always, as this avoids
unnecessary stock" A gentleman
who Is in position to know says: There
is no danger Of these works stopping this
season unless there should be some back
set in the iron situation. The business all
over the country is now looking up and
the prospect for the iron business is fair, to
say the least"

PITTSBURGH, March 2l.-The Western Pig
Iron Association met to-day in the bali oi
the Western Association. The meeting was
well attended and nothing outside oi
routine business transacted. The business
occupied only short time, after which an
informal chat was INDUCED in on the state
oftrade. twas said that the stock on hand
is about the came as at the close Of Decem.
ber last, that pig iron is firm at present
figures, and that unless inducements shall
be offered by the ore companies the fur
naces would do about the right thing to re.
strict the output during the twelve months
beginning with next OF June. There was
no formal action taken on the ore question.
Hitherto the ore companies have dealt
directly with individual furnace firms, and
1t is assumed that they may continue this
way Of conducting their business. How.
ever, as the pig iron producers are now or
ganized 10 all sections OF the country, 1t Ia
within the possibilities there will be q
change in the method.
Last year there were 100000 tons Of ore
left over on the docks from Lake Superior
mines. This was almost 10 per cent Of the
entire production OF the region, which was
100000 tons. The ore men this year say
that they will only produce 100000 tons,
as they do not intend to glut the market
again, but will let the stocks OF ore on hand
be used up closely before they increase the
output.
