There IS no other cause known for the terrible tragedy than insanity. The mother and children, Edward D., aged years, John Van Dwyan, aged . and Jeannette 4 years, were all shot through the head and instantly killed dead. The mothers desth was as sud den as theirs. A frightful feature of tragedy IS the manner of the murder. Mrs. Seguin took the children to an empty spare room. at the top of five story house in the absence of her hus- band and when the servants were en- gagged Tn the basement and locked her self in with them.

The mother and children were found dead all shot through the head. The childrens' hands were tied behind their backs with whipcOrd. They were blindfolded with handker- chiefs and from all appearances must have been shot while playing at blind mans buff with their executioner.

 ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
 ASHLAND, Ky, Nov. 2-Yestsrday noon twenty-five men and boys partly intoucated, seized an engine and car and went to Catlettsburg in the hope of getting the prisoners from the military. When they reached there they made no effort to capture the prisoners who were placed on the steamer Granite State. The crowd hastened back to Ashland. About twenty of them went to the ferry boat and by the use of pistols compell- l ed the captain to put out to intercept the Granite State. The affair would | have been a farce but for the reckless l discharge of a little revolver Tn the | hands of one of the boys on the ferry l boat. It was answered at once by l volley from the soldiers. The balls 1 pierced the boiler, and the escaping l steam completely disabled the mob. By | this time great mob had gathered on | the banks and in tho houses. The ssl- | diers turned their guns on them and | fired without provocation. Here mis- chief was done. Only three were |, wounded on the ferry boat, while all | the others in the casulity list were of the peaceable people on the bank. The l killed were Geo. keener, Jas. McDOn- l aid, Col. Peppert, and an infant Tn its | mothers arms, unknown, was seriously 1 wounded, John Baugh, Charles Bolin- l ger, Willie Serrie, Will Springer, Mrs. | Grimes Serrie, Graham Randall, RObt. 1 Pritcherd. A number were slightly l wound-d. The citizens regard the fir l ing on the ferry boat justitiable, but | have no words to express their indigns- tion at firing on peaceable citizens.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Colonel Inger- soil has prepared his review of and re- ply to the report of Wells Tn the investl- |
  his predictions. The catechism led him | to put his idea in the form of question | and answer. It will be published We'd | nesdsy morning, but the Colonel talked | freely about it this afternoon to cor respondent, and gave sn idea of what he has prepared. Wellsreport, be says, | IS substantially that Fall, Foote, Hoine I and Nelson tried to corrupt Brown, or. 4 at least, to induce Brown to enter ID a | corrupt agreement, the purpose ot which, according to Fall, was to ascer- | tain If Brown was cOrruptible. But I more than this, Wells report involves Messrs. Merrick and Kerr in the efforts of Bowen and Brewster Cameron, which | Is more than the Colonel charged and l more than he believes to be true. Bowen 1 claims that Dickson tried to be bribed, | attributlng his first interview with Dick son to accident on Dickson's soliclta- ton, and the second to Cameron. The latter unloads the responsibility by say ing that Messrs. Merrick and Kerr ad- vlsed hIm to meet Dickson and talk with him.
