NEW YORK, Oct, 31.-Mrs. Bseuis,
eyed 36, the wife Of Dr.. Edward G.
Ssguin, shot and killed her 8 young
children this afternoon, and then killed
heEsslf, at No. Al west Twentieth St.
There u no other cause known for the
tsrrible tragedy than insanity in The
mother. The children we're Edward
D., aged 6 years; John Van Duyu aged
5 years, and Jeanette, aged 4 years.
They were oil shot through tho head,
and instantly killed. The mothers
desth Was - sudden and probably
painless - theirs. Tie frightful fes-
ture OF the tragedy is the manner Of
the murder. Mrs. Seguin took the
children to an empty spare room st the
top of the fve-story house in the sb-
senee OF her husband, and when the
servants were engaged 10 the basemene
and locked herself in with them. The
servants believed that they had CONT
out for . walk. DR.. Amidon, Mrs. Se-
gums brother, called st S o'clock, and
his suspicious we're aroused BY the long
absence of the family. He made .
search of the house, when mother and
children were found dead, ell shot
through the head. The ehildres's
hands we're tied behind their backs with
whipcord they we're blind folded with
bandkerchIefs, and from all appear
ances they must have been shot while
playing blindman's buff, with their
mother. They had been dad for at
least an hour and half, and we-. quite
cold. Three pistols were found in the
room, all of large calibrs, and al had
been used.
1t is in evidence that Mrs Seguin
bad been despondent from physical
causes for some time, but she had
shown no symptoms of inssnity. She
was Q small, slim woman of nervous
Her domestic life was
very happy, and there was no family
trouble. DR.. Seguin returned home
about I o'clock, and upon hearing the
dreadful news was utterly prostrstsd.
He Is in state of mental distress,
md under the care Of physician. His !
wife was the daughter Of . Massschu-
!stts farmer. The family occupied .
i've story brown stone house, elegantly |
furnished. The three servants 10 the
,ouse noticed during the day that Mrs.
,eguin was moody.

Prohibition Failure I'm lows

FTOnlD1tIO0 r k01lure In Iowa
Judge Haye, Decides that the .ar.enameni
~s' Not Legally Enacted.
DAVENPORT, Iowa, November l.
On Thursday last the case OF Koehler
K Lang rs. John Hill, was tried iu the
District Court here, Judge Walter T.
Hayes presiding. The case was really
brought IS test of the constitutional
prohibition amendment passed BY the
popular vote last year. Plaintiffs are
brewers, and sold beer amounting to
Sll3 in value to saloon keeper, who
refused payment on the ground that
the bill could not be collected by lsv.
The Court held its decision under sd-
visement until to day.
Judge Hayes has decided that the
amendment has not been legally made
part of the State Constitution, chiefly
on the ground that the Journals of the
Legislature do not contain the act in
full on their pages, and do not contain
the yeas and nays taken upon the same,
and that, according to the Journals,
the act as passed BY the Senate of the
Eighteenth Assembly was in its terms
prohibitory Of the sale or manufaotur-
ing of liquor, NJ, 49,, A beverage
but also "to be used," and hence pro- /,
hibited 1t, and Its use for any and oil |
purposes, even sscrsueu!e!, medicinal, |
eto., but Is il passed the House of the
Eighteenth General Assembly it Was
in terms merely prohibitory of liquor
a, beverage. In these respects there
fore, the requirnents of the Constitu-
tion providing for the manner Of il:
amendent haze been disregarded. The
Journals do not contain the proper en-.
tries, and the same act has not passed
both Houses of the Legislature.

THE DIAMOND CASE AGAIN

The Diamond Makes Serious Charges
against His Wife, aud Wauts His Prop
erty Back.
A few days ago it was mentioned in these
columns that Mr.. Robert J. Diamond had an.
piled for divorce on the ground that his
wife had husband living when she married
him Oiamond), and that same husband is
still living. Yesterday Mr.. Diamond COM
menced suit to compel his wife
to give up certain real estate that she had OBJ
tained of him surreptitiously. The suit is
entitled Robert Diamond against Susan Jane
Mckinney. The plaintiff alleges that when
he married his wife she was known as Jennie
Green, and that he lived with her till May
last, when he found she was already married;
that all the time he lived with her he sup.
posed and understood that she was a,single
woman at the time of the last
marriage; that in May last he found out that
she was not, but that she had a husband
when he (Diamond) married her; that the first
named husband is Charles Mckinney, and
that as soon as he found that she had hus-
band living he quit living with her. The
plaintiff then goes on to state that previous
to discovering that his wife had another hus-
band living he made out deeds of his real
estate with view to conveying to her his
property; that after making the deeds he
placed them in his safe, and that his wife stole
them and had them recorded. He therefore
asks the court to cancel the deeds and 10 de-
clare the property to be his

,TeHnd or EL Jehdd,

The "Jehad' or "El Jehad" In Egypt sign;-
fes holy war of determination to be carried
out against infidels. Mahomet was the first
to preach to his Arab compatriots the duty of
"Jehad'-that is, of 'mutual strenuous
effort" for the attainment of their common
aim; for the prophet, knowing that
the tribes never could become a
power while they wasted their energies in in
ternecine warfare, and at the same time that
they could not be united under any master,
sought to bring about national unity by bind
ing them by that common religious feeling
which really meant, as it so often does, COM
mon interests, customs and supersti-
tions. 1t was not till the time of
"the great Haroun Alraschid" that the Jehad
was revived upon a grand scale. Every
alternate year with very few exceptions, this
prince made the pilgrimage to Mecca on foot,
or he prosecuted Jehad against the enemies
of Isham. The next general outbreak Of Mo.
hammedans against the Christians took place
at the time OF the Crusades, when the i'm
miEency of the common danger forced the
Mussulmen into q union, and
the Jehad was formally proclaimed in reply
to the Christian movement OF aggression.
Since then the Jehad has been usually local
declaration In time of extremity of war to the
knife, as when in 176S the unfurling Of the
sacred banner against the Russians was at
tended by fearful outrages upon the Christian
populations. During the war with the
Russians in 1878 the Sultan threatened to uu-
furl the holy flag, but without the looked for

The Gear as temperance Reform,er.


Russia has decided to take her part in
the great international crusade against
Alcoholism. The plan of the cam
paign, as arranged by the Muscovite con-
tingent, is undoubtedly characteristic,
and it will be rather difficult to reconcile
it with the principles of the Golden club.
The anti-alcoholic war is to be conducted
in Russia on the lines of benevolent au-
tocracy. not on those of constitutional
law. There is to be no such western and
heretical process as local option, and the
battle is to be commenced by battering
down all our Occidental theories of free
trade, open competition, and survival of
the fittest. In other words, the car has
personally ordered all his people to be-
come temperate. He has backed up this
moral command by further order that
no Russian village shall be allowed to
have more than one public house, and
that when two or three villages lie within
easy reach of one another they are only
to be permitted to have one common
drinking house between them. 1t is not
quite clear to us why thirty men may not
as readily get drunk side by side IN one
building as if they were divided
into three groups of ten men in three
different buildings. The two provisions
laid down for preventing drunkenness
in the one licensed house are curious
enough. Firstly, the host is to sell
splrituous liquors at such price that he
can derive no profit out of them; we sup
pose, therefore, that he will have to en-
courage his customers TO become great
eaters, as he must perforce get a profit
out of something. Secondly, if he per-
mits drunkenness on his premises he is
to be fined, to lose his monopoly and in a
fragrant case to suffer imprisonment.
