The red-shirlers IN South Carolina are
playing their old political tricks. Mr.. E..
N. Brayton undertook to address re-
publican meeting at Aiken Saturday,
but found the red-shirted democratic club
in attendance to break up the meeting.
As soon as Mr.. Brayton began to speak he
was interrupted by yells, curses and de-
risive cheers. so that he could not be
heard. A desperate-looking red-shirt dis
mounted from his horse and made furi-
Gus dash at the stand, with the purpose of
pulling the speaker down, but was pre-
vented by his more sober-minded com
panions from accomplishing his design.
Mr.. Brayton saw that it would not be safe
to continue the meeting and, therefore,
dismissed his hearers and returned to his
hotel. Here he was followed by the red
shutters. who rode their horses up into the
piazza of the building and continued their
abuse of Mr.. Brayton until the arrival of
the train. The hope of having democratic
majority in the next House seems to have
stirred up the democracy to full activity
in electing members OF Congress by fraud
and violence.

The Tribune says: 1T would be we'll
il voters would remember that all the
worst measures of Congress have been
supported by relatively larger number
of democrats than of republicans, and that
no change tor the better, in the character
of Legislation, is to be expected by giving
the majority and the control OF the organ
ization to democrats. But when the re-
publicans have nominated good candidates
for Congress, not only in other States
where no local trouble exists. but also in
New York and Pennsylvania, there ought
to be q very earnest and determined effort
to elect them.''

MAINE DISPATCHES.
PORTLAND.
The Cape Elizabeth Light and What Is
Proposed to be Bone About 1t.

PORTLAND, Oct 81.
In reply to the protest of the Portland
Board Of Trade against disseminating one of
the Cape Elizabeth lighthouses, a reply was
received today from Rear Admiral r. Wyman,
chairman of the Lighthouse board, saving the
suggestion of this change came originally
from the lighthouse board, and after thorough
consideration was adopted, because in this
age Of many characteristic distinctions, in
which we have fixed white of several degrees
of size and intensity, flashing white of many
degrees of size and intensity, flashing white
Of many degrees Of length and interval, fixed
red, flashing red and the flashing giving first
red and then white, two lights to mark points
or hesdlsnds are, therefore, unnecessary.
Two lights were adopted in early days when
it was one and two lights only to mark the
distinction in headlands. As a second con.
sideration the matter Of economy was dis
cussed, and it was found that by making the
changes proposed On the coast of Maine a
saving would be made of some $4,000 yearly,
and it was decided no injury could result in
the matter, since il is directed that the changes
shall not be made until due notice has been
given-a time long enough for all trading
vessels now absent from the country to be
informed.
He goes on fully to discuss the change
and to specify why lights can't be mistaken,
ami concluding as follows: There are es.
tablished on the coast of Maine at Moose,
Peak, and Petite Menan flashing white lights
The distance between these places is &C
miles, and no complaint has ever been made
to the board of improper working of these
headlands. The distance between the flashing
light intended for Cape Elizabeth and the
one now in use at Monhegan is "a miles, and
it is thought impossible that these points can
be COMPOUNDED.
Reform School Investigation.
The Reform School investigation was con.
tinued today. DIR. Webster testified he had
frequently visited to boy VIM. spoken of by
the doctor, and thought him well treated, and
said the school was in good condition in re.

4 noxRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Woman Nurdera Her Three Children
and Then Kills herselElnsAne
ity the Cause.
NEw York, Oct 81.

New York. Oct 81.
Mrs. Seguin, aged Sc, wife of DR.. Edward
C. Seguin, q noted specialist on diseases of
the brain, shot and killed her three children,
this afternoon, and then killed herself. at II
West s0th street. No other cause Is known
for the horrible crime than insanity in the
mother. The children were aged six, hve
and four years. They were all shot through
the head and instantly killed. Mrs. Seguin
took the children to empty spare room,
in the fifth story, in the absence of her hus-
band, and when the servants were engaged
in the basement, locked herself in with them.
The servants believed they had gone for
walk. What happened in the room will
never be known, but when DIR. Anudon,
Mrs. Seguin's brother called at five, and with
his suspicious aroused by the long absence
of the family, made a search of the house.
the mother and the children were found
dead, all shot through the head. The chill
dren's hands were tied on the back with
whipcord, they were blindfolded with hand
kerchiefs and from all appearances it seems
they must have been shot while playing
blind man buff with their executioner. They
had been dead for at least an hour and
half and were quite cold. Three pistols
were found in the room, all Of heavy calibrs
and all had been used. Mrs. Seguin had
been Respondent from physical causes for
some time, but had shown no evidence of
insanity. She was SMALL slim woman of
nervous temperament. Her domestic lite
was very happy and there was no family
trouble. DR.. Seguin retained home about
seven, and upon hearing of the dreadful
news was utterly Frustrated. He is in a
state of mental distress and under the care of
. physician. His wife was daughter of q
Mas sachusetts farmer. The couple moved
in the best society.

THE THEATRE FIRE.
Scene at the Ruins TOday-The stage
Carpenter Still Missing.

New YORK, Oct 81.
The origin Of the fire at Park Theatre last
evening is unknown. Large crowds have
reviewed the ruins during the day. TIL,
building is completely Quilted. The interior
presents a wrecked appearance. The bar,
walls seem ready to totter and fall at an,
moment. The fremen are pulling down the
more dangerous portions. The front portion
which was occupied by officers of the man.
agement. remains standing. but is a complete
wreck. There is no doubt that stage carp
enter John Leo. persisted in the flames. Leo
was in the cafrenter shop when the fire broke
out. The shop was situated above the flies.
and his escape being cut of by the flames
he must have been burned to death. He
leaves wife and two children. Henry
Clark's injuries are of fatal character.
The board of aldermen has directed one OF
their committee to prepare and present AT
the next meeting an ordinance presenting a
manner in which theatres and all buildings
to be used for public exhibitions, shall be-
conducted so as to ensure the safety of spec
tators in case of FIRE.
Henry Clark. stage carpenter at the Park
Theatre, died at the hospital today.

Testimony of superintendent Far
ringtOn Of the Reform school.

Mr.. Harrington was heard before the in
vestigating committee Monday. He com
menced by saying that perhaps he could do
better by going back to his first connection
with the school. When he first went there
there were about l20 boys to be provided for, to
be kept, governed, educated and disciplined
He found large farm and buildings and i'm
plements in bad condition.
Seeing this he turned his attention to the
boys, seeking to improve them morally and
intellectually. He found that the boys had
been in the habit Of picking locks through
out the building. He found the subordinate
officers were not able to control the school
unless there was corporal punishment. He
found the punishments administered by his
predecessors were confinement in the tower
or cells. He never inflicted corporal punish
ment upon boy without first talking to him
and never, until in his judgment, il was
necessary.
Mr.. Harrington explained as to the reforms
which he had accomplished in the dormitory.
One of the features which had prevailed was
for boys to tear their bed clothing into strips
and seek to throw them over the fence or low
or themselves from the window. The wretch.
