DIR. sEGUIN AND HIS FAMILY.

Dr Edward C. SeCnin is about forty-twO years o
aoe He is the son of the late Dr. EdOuard Seguin,
who was a well-known specialist in the treatment
of idiocy and allied nervous diseases. The elder
Seguin was native Of France, where DR.. L. q.
Seguin was born, and came to this
country shortly after the French Revolution
of 1913, in which he was concernea. Inc
published writings of Dr. Edouard Seguin comprise
almost n library in themselves. Religious services
were dispensed with at the funeral, Dr. H. "
seguin making an address to the assembled mourn
ers and stating that his father had always been
deliberate and consistent free-thinker rejecting all
religious theories and practices, and therefore 1t
was thought best to hold reg gious services over
his remains.
DR. Edward G. Seguin followed in the footsteps of
his eminent father. His attention early was turned
toward diseases of the mind and nervous systemand
he soon became aienist of increasing reputation
He was appointed one of the visiting physicians at
the hospital for epileptc and feebleminded on
Blackweps Island. This increased his field OF
study and he took advantage of every possible op-
portunity to improve his knowledge of mental
disease. He was afterwaTd selected as professor
of diseases of the mind and nervous sys-
TEN In the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Dr. Seguin has written many articles upon SUD-
iects connected with his speciality. For several
years ne mas Dcen eultOT VI Inc 1FO"tOo W
which has an extended circulation both i'll this
country and in Europe. DR.. Seguin has large
private practice. His wife was the daughter OF a
farmer In Massachusetts,.
Dr. Seguins father married young wife short
time before bis death, which occurred on October
90, 1880. The relations of the widow with her
husbands only were pleasant, but not In
innate Shs visited her stepson's house
on Saturday week ago. When Mrs. Seguin was
Informed last night Of the occurrences. which con-
cerned her nearly, she was overcome with emotion.
She said after long time that she could offer no
explanation for the affair, for so far as she had
been able to observe, DR.. e. o. Segnin
and his wife had lived without interruption Of their
domestic happiness She had not been sufficiently
intimate with the family. she said, to presume that
there had ever been any cause OF dis
agreement between them. DR.. Seguin had
been married about ten years, aud his
Oldest boy was something over five years old the
Youngest was about two. Mrs. Seguln said that her
husband had devoted his life to the cure of weak
minded, children and that she lhad continued bis
life-work so far as she had been able Her
stepson had always given great attention
to nervous diseases. Mrs. Seguin declared
that she knew no occasion for the
act which lhad been committed. There certainly
was nothing in the home relations between Dr.
Segun and his wife that could furnish pretext for
the deed.
Mrs segun following the methods invented
training of feeble minds at No. 5S West Fifty
seyenth-st.
