For Assembly,.

] hereby announce myself az a candi-
date for the nomination and election OF
a Democratic Representative for the next
Legislature. Whether elected or defeat
ed, [ shall continue to labor for the COM
plete overthrow of all monopolies and
the various means and agencies which
are continually employed to oppress the
poor, firmly believing that neither Ma
ture nor God ever designed that the pool
should be, as they now are, virtually, the
slaves of the Plutocracy-better known
as the MONEY POWER. Good wages
for fair days work, to be promptly paid
in cash, should be the law, and no Com
pany Stores, nor any other methods
should be allowed to exist, to over-reach
the laborer.
Strongly believing that these are, a
mong others, really the great and vital
things that are Of practical importance
to the masses Of the people, and that they
must be radically corrected, sooner or
later. | pledge myself, under all cireum-
stances, to advocate them with an un-
yielding conviction, that it is for justice,
right and the good Of humanity. And l
shall do it with energy and force,

and lost no time in taking possession of
their several huts where they donned
their racing gear in which they
reclined until told to get ready. RowsIl wore
the guards color, red and blue bars with

Triple Tragedy-An Insane mother
Cuts the TIN oats of T1O Babes and
Her Own.
EAsToN, April 27.-Yesterday morning
Mrs Amelia Barnet, the wife of David Bar
net of Phillipsburg, N. j., locked the doors
of her house, threw her son Willie, aged two
years and six months, on the bed and cut his
throat with razor. She then seized her
five months old child and served it in like
manner. She then gave an alarm, and as the
neighbors rushed in drew the razor across
her own throat and threw herself on the bed
beside her children. Willie, the elder boy,
died in ten minutes and the younger child
and the mother are both mortally wounded.
Mrs Barnet, after the discovery of her crime,
went into such violent paroxysms of insanity
that six men were required to hold her. The
Barnet family came here from Pittsburg, Pa.
several months ago, but since then the father
has been unable to obtain employment.
