4 TriDle Tragedy.

PERTH AMBoY, n, j., October 10
For some time past Gaeder Showdash
has made accusations of iniidelity against
his wife, which seem to have been
groundleSS, and the couple have quar-
relied bitterly. Yesterday Snowdash re-
newed his accusations, and, after the
ensuing quarrel, he left his home to go
to work. This morning the woman
soaked the heads OF matches in water
and swallowed the poison, dying soon
afterward in great agony.
When ShowdaSh returned to his house
and found his wife dead he procured 4
revolver and shot and killed himself.
During the excitement caused by the
tragedy, the young babe of the couple
was forgotten, but when search was
made for it it, too, was found dead. 1t
is presumed that Mrs. ShowdaSh gave
some Of the poison to the child.

R0USING MEETINGS
HELD BY TIE SOUTH SIDE DEMOCRATS,
LAST NIGHT.
Col. Robert White Addresses Large Gathering
in Richie, and Co.. W. ". Arnett Holds
Forth ia Webster-Centre Dis
tict Club.

Despite the inclement weather the
Democrats of Richie district held a
meeting at Teutonia Hall, on South
Jacob street, last night, which, in point
of size and the amount OF enthusiasm
manifested, was one of the best OF the
campaign. The commodious hall was
appropriately decorated, and two large
bouquets were placed on stand upon
the stage, and presented to the speaker
of the evening. The meeting was called
to order by Andrew Fisher, and William
Clark was elected chairman. Mr.. Clark,
in neat speech expressed his thanks.
and introduced The speaker Of the even
ing, Col. Robert White.
Col. White began by reviewing the
history Of the two political parties from
the time of Madison and Jefferson, and
showed that the Republican party
throughout its history favored central
ization of power. He discussed the
Force bill and Speaker Reeds arbitrary
rulings, and showed that their purpose
was to perpetuate Republican power by
force and fraud. He showed up the in
justices OF the Lodge bill, and then
passed to a discussion OF the tariff,
which he illustrated I'm forcible way,
which carried conviction with il.
Referring to the Hteiligcncefs criti-
cism Of his Moundsvile speech, he dis
claimed any desire to misrepresent,
and said the quotations on Oliver
chilled plows were the last he had seen.
The speaker then produced circular of
the Singer Sewing Machine Co., intended
for Canadian circulation, and compared
1t with one secured at the Wheeling Of
flee of the company, showing that the
Singer machine, after paying Il duty Of
50 and 20 per cent ad yalorcm, is sold in
Canada at the same price charged in
this country. Statistics and iignres
were quoted to prove that prices ad-
vanced under the Mckinley bill. He
read Il letter received by an Eighth
ward timer from y. Il G.. Taylor X Co.,
of Philadelphia, importers OF tin plate,
stating that the market is much higher
on account OF the passage of the McKin-
ley bill, and declining to fill an order
for tin plate at a price quoted in Sep
tember. The speaker closed by urging
his hearers not to vote for a principle,
the result of which is to make tho rich
richer and the poor poorer.
Col. White held the attention OF the
audience for almost two hours, and was
frequently interrupted by applause.
The speech was argumentative rather
than oratorical, and will be productive
of good results.
