A New York telegram brings this !:
Mrs Samuel Seguin, the noted specialist
on diseases Of the brain, killed her three
children yesterday afternoon and then
killed herself, at No. Al West Twentieth
street. There Is no other cause known
for the horrible tragedy than the insanity
OF the mother The children were Ed
ward D., aged SIX years, John Vandwyn,
aged FIVE, and Jeanette, four years.
They were all shot through the head and
instantly killed The mothers death was
as sudden as theirs. The frightful feat
ure of the tragedy is the manner Of the
murder. Mrs Seguin took the children
to an empty spare room at the top of a
hve-story house, III the absecce Of her
husband and when the servants were en-
gagged IN the basement, and locked herself
in with them. The servants believed
they had gone out for a walk. What
happened frem then is not known, but
when DIR. Amedon, Mrs. Seguin's brother,
called at five o'clock and with his suspi-
cions aroused by the long absence of the
family, made search OF the house, the
mother and children were found dead, all
shot thralgh the head. The cnildren's
hands were tied behind their backs with
whip cord. They We're blindfolded with
handkerchiefs.
SALT LAKE, Nov. 1.-The Tribune, in
commenting on Judge Hunters decision,
which gives SO much aid and comfort to
MOrmOns, and which nulliies the laws of
Utah, says the ruling of Judge Hunter
yesterday on the Manus case was receiv-
ed with CONSERVATION and wrath by the
citizens. The court had taken three weeks
to look up the question, and 1t Was the
universal expectation that when the rul
ing was made yesterday, as It was an
nounced that 1t would be, We should hear
something more than usual on the nam
issue, but when the judge got through
blank expression spread over every face
is that all :" was the query on
every mans lips ami in his eyes.
Evaporation prevailed on all hands,
and the intent of the judge 10 practically
nullify the law by refusing to grant relief
in the premises became more plain on re-
fection and comparison. There Was loud
talk of calling all indignation meeting,
which may Yet be done. The question,
whether American citizens should submit
quietly to such a Judicial outrage is well
worth considering, and whether there is
not some way to secure man, who Is at
once a good patriot and good lawyer, to
adorn the bench, instead OF one who fails
in both points, might well be taken IN
hand instantly and vigorously.

Anna Dickinson on Woman Suf-
frage.

SIR:-IOu ask me to state explicitly
whether, by means of letter to the edi-
tor Of the Omaha Herald or through 9th
er channels, | have avowed myself an OPP
ponent of woman's suffrage. Explicitly,
then, the statement is preposterous and
not worthy the dignity Of denial. No
one at all familiar TIth my work and my
life would, without malice, make it, and
no one equally familiar, unless fool,
would believe it. | may have written III
some private letter TO some one what l
have no objection to writing IN this pubic
letter to whoever may care to read. that
in my Judgment there is tCO mnch OF yo-
ting now-voting that Is both ignorant
and yenal: that no man ought 70 be able
10 control the destinies of other people by
means of Z Constitution and laws who Is
not able at least 10 read them; that, as a
question of principle, these ideas apply as
well TO women who may vote as to men
who do vote; and that, as matter OF per
soual interest, 1 would rather see the
money have earned in some hardly con
tested campaigns, and have never been
paid, than any number of ballots. | hay
ing learned, through much observation,
that an abundance of paper with green
back is a far better garantee OF comfort,
safety and comfort than any amount Of
material labelled political rights with
ont II. All the same, while intelligent
men vote believe in intelligent women
voting. While venal men sell their fran
c,ise it is but fair that venal women
should enjoy like monstrons privilege;
and while brutes are backed with this ad-
ditioral means OF brutality and imp"nity,
through rum shops and police courts OF
trayested Justice, l believe III the life
companions of these hrutes having IN

The Absurdity OF the Health Ordinance

Durin. The last week OF two, the news
paper man has had occasion to make daily
visits to the health Office, TO make inquiry
Of the head otilcial, Dr. S.oIn, regarding the
condition Of things IN his department. IL
the inquirer has failed 10 get in detail, the
information sought, no blame whatever can
possibly attach TO Dr. Sloan. He's governed
by the so-caIlei Health Ordinance, which,
when investigated, is about the most absurd
piece OF literature IL the volume issued by
the City Council. Under such an ordinance,
the Health Officer cannot evsn act or report,
iEtyl.igeutly.
Section ; of tlis ordinance sets forth that
it shall be the duty Of physicians to report
cases to the Health Officer or the Mayor. Ii
Is a fact that IN Health Officer is not not'-
fed If all the cases, because some are re-
ported to tine Mayor, and that Official fails
70 notify the Health Officer
Section requires the Hsaiih Oihcer to
visit nersons sick with contagious diseases.
He cannot carry out these provisions because
not notified promptly, or at al.
Section provides that the Csty Marshal
shall make weekly examination OF streets,
alleys, sinks, vaults, and the like, and re
mort their condition to the Health Oiilcer,
who Is to order the same cl-aned or removed
by the Street Commissicner. We have yet
to fear Of the first report OF this kind.
Then -ction makes it the duty OF the
householder to report sickness IN hls family,
and TO state the character of the disease.
Nothing could lie i-Ore absurd than this,
unless it is Section 10, which provides that
whenever any person shall die of diphtheria,
smallpox or any of the o her diseases named
in this ordinance, the clothing shall be burned
or burned. What are the diseases. Cholera,
small pox, yellow fever. typhus or tYphoId,
measles. scarlet fever and diphtherIa. Now
we submit that this ordinance as whole is
not only absurd as production OF this char
acter. but that its provisions are calculated
10 defeat the very object, for which such an
ordinance ought to lie framed. 1t is con-
fii.ting in lis provisions and under 1t the
Health Officer l. wholly unable, either t.
make report or know the condition Of the
sick in the city. The City Council would
be doing a service to this pubic to let the
Health officer make an ordnance governing
