MOTHERS MADNESS.
A weIi-KnOwn New York Lady Kills
Her Three Children and Herself,

Mrs. seguip, aged 30 the wifo OF DR.. Ell
ward O. Seguin, q noted specialist on diseases
Of the brain, shot and killed her three young
children yesterday afternoon and thon killed
herself at No. IL West Twentieth street, New
York city. There is no other cause known for
the terrible tragedy than insanity In tho
mother. The children were Edward D., aged O
aged years. They were all shot through the
head and instantly killed. Their mothers
death wns as sudden and probably painless as
theirs. The frlghtful feature of tho tragedy
is the manner OF the murder Mrs. Seguin
took the children TO an empty spare
room mt the top OF the flve-story house,
In the absence OF her husband, and when
The servants were engaged In the basement,
and locked herself In with them. The servants
believed that they had gone out for walk.
What happened I'm the room will nevor be
known; but when Dr.. Amidon, Mrs. Segulns
brother, called at B O'Clock, and with his Su5-
picions aroused by the long absence of the
family, made search OF the house, mother
and children were found dead, all shot through
the head. The childrens hands were tied be-
hind their backs with whipc0rd, and they were
blindfolded with handkerchiefs. They had
been dead for at least an hOur.and. .a'half, and
were quite cold. Three pistols were found In
tho room, all of large calibre, and all had
been used.
Mrs. Seguln had been despondent from
physical causes for some time, but she had
shown no symptoms OF insanity. She was n
small, slim woman, OF nervous temperament.
Her domestic life was very happy, and there
was no family trouble. DR.. Seguin returned
home about Z o'clock, and upon hearing the
dreadful news, was utterly prostrated. He Is

the daughter OF Massachusetts farmer.
They occupied n flyo.story brownstono house,
elegantly furnished. Tho three servants In
the house noticed during the day that Mrs

There has been annother attempt to convene

evident that tho people begin 10 sec that

are egging them on for political and selfish
purposes. This last ridiculous attempt to hold
an "Internntional Antl-Semitic Congress" will
probably close the round of religious agita-
tiop, so far as Germany Is concerned. Ia this
gathering OF alleged International delegates,
the only participants were few Germans
and Hungarlans. Letters of cOngratulatlon
were sent from Odessa and Balta, In Russia,
the scenes OF tho recent persecution OF the
Jews. But this Congress of fanatics met with
little sympathy from the German people. The
Rev. mr. stoecker, the Berlin preacher, who
mndo himself notorious fow years ago by
his violent abuse of the Jews, said In one Of
his harangues In tho Congress that II tho ques
tlon were put to the German people whether
the Jews or "Anti-Semites" should
be driven out of the country, the vote would
be against the "Antl-semites." Tho Congress
seemed TO be divided In sentiment In regard
to tho policy to be pursued toward the Jews,
one party favorlng the Ghetto Of tho Middle
Ages and the other declaring for the erection
OF n Chinese wall OF separation against tho
whole Jewish race. There has not been I'm
modern times 50 disgraceful display Of race
hatred, but 1t was evidently as contemplate
concerned In 1t. German scholars and dlvlnes
sometimes have way of speaking with con
tempt OF America, and soem to Imagine that
