OMAHA, Neb.. November AT o'clock
this morning the police found the dead
body of Ida Gaskin, aged eleven, in a va

been outraged and then choked to death
She had been missing since evening. Her
mother searched for, but failed to find any
trace of her. At IL o'clock she reported to
the police station that her daughter had
disappeared. When the police sergeant de-
veloped the murder, three hours later three
young men, Ed Sanford, George Morgan
and Booker, were arrested, charged with
the murder.
While all were out of the room, save Mrs
Gaskin, her little son and a reporter, the
little boy said:
Il know-who killed Ida
On being questioned, he said that during
the afternoon, George and Ed sent me up
stairs to tell Ida they wanted her.
The reporter learned that George and
Ed were George Morgan and Ed Sanford,
and that they occupied rooms on the floor
below. Hurriedly calling officer, the re-
porter secured the arrest of the pair At

UTAH ACT IN FULL FORCE
Important Decision Rendered by Chief
Justice Alvey.
Persons Violating the Elmunds Law
in the District Are Liable to
Suffer It's Penalties.

In an opinion written by Mr.. Chief JUS
tice Alvey the Court of Appeals this after
noon decided that the Utah or Edmunds
act prohibiting adultery and similar Of
lenses is in full force in the District of
Columbia.
The case in which the decision was rem
dered was that of the United States against
Chas. H. Chase and Mary Jackson, alias
White, who we're convicted last summer
before Judge Cole and sentenced to a
year and day in the Albany penitentiary
The chief justice states in his opinion
that in the case of Louis A. Dunan, white
man, also convicted before Judge Cole
about the same time on like charge, and
who received the same sentence, the same
ruling applies, and the judgment of the
affirmed
In the first case the parties were colored
people the woman being married, but the
man unmarried, and it was charged that
eacn mad carnal knowledge of the other,
the statute providing tina. in such a case
the man. although unmarried himself, is
guilty or adultery. Counsel for the defend
anus claimed that the law in question, that
OF March g. 1887. which was passed to
amend the act of March %, 1882, was not
applicable here. The husband of the wo-
man was allowed by Judge Cole to testify
as TO the marriage between them, and the
that in permitting that Judge Cole erred
The Court of Appeals holds, however, that
not only IS the law fully in force here but
also that the husband is made by the act
in question a competent witness to testify
as to the marriage, provided he offers re
objection to so testifying. and it appeared
from the record in the case says the chief
justice. that he offered no objection.
Heretofore it has been seriously doubted if
there was any law in force here against in
cest. The act above referred. to, however
provides punishment for that offense, ana
as that act is held to be in force here by the
Court of Appeals. incest is, therefore, made
crime and punishment therefor provided
In holding the act applicable in the Dis
trict, Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey says: 1.-THE
crimes of biSamy, unlawful cohabitation,
adultery, incest and fornication are no less
offensive violations of decency here than
elsewhere. and they are not less the proper
subjects Of prevention and punishment by
law In this District than in the territories or
other places over which the United States
have exclusive jurisdiction

Gen. Birney however. had something
more to say, and he argued that if the fire
department was to be increased for the
benefit of fire insurance companies. the
District had better go into the business of
writing policies itself. The city, he said,
paid about StO0.OOO per annum for the sup
insurance companies paid nothing other
than the meager tax put upon them. He
thought the insurance companies who reap
ed the direct benefit of the fire departing mt
should certainly. maintain 1t.
This reused Mr. Simon Wolf who replied
rather holly that the fire underwrit ers did
not appear before the Commissioners with
the expecta ton of hearing an argument by
Gen Birney: but he would say when the
market question came up there were num-
Der of citizens who y ould like to be heard.
The fire underwriters paid, and promptly
paid all taxes levied by Congress, and if
the law was bad It should be corrected and
the fire ur derwriters would promptly obey
it.

Marriage License.
Considerable interest was created In
Richmond, Va, last week by the report
that Mr.. George Seymour Maxwell and Miss
RosaIie Gottiieb of that city, were married
here October &C. Maxwell was the man
ager of a telephone company in Richmond
and especial interest attached to his mar
rage by reason of the fact that he was
known as a married man, and was living
with his wife and two children, aged, re-
spectively. twelve and three years, at the
ST. Clair Hotel, until Wednesday, October
%, when his family left for their former
home, in Louisville. presumably on a visit
AS soon as the report was received, inquf-
res were made for Maxwell, and it was de-
veloped that that gentleman had obtained
leave of absence from the offices of the
telephone company. and had gone north on
business trip. Last Monday Mr.. Max
well returned to Richmond, and caused the
rumor of his marriage to be contradicted
through the press. making the statement
that 1t was his cousin, whose name is lden-
tcal with his own, who was the fortunate
individual.
The court records of this city show that
a marriage license was issued to George S.
Maxwell of Louisville. KY, and Rosalie
NJ Gottlieb of Richmond. The license was
issued October 2G and Maxwell first stated
that he was from Richmond, but after
ward erased this and changed it to Louis
vile, Ky. No return from minister has
yet been received and there is no record of
the marriage having been performed.

PRESIDENT AND CABINET,

Mr.. Cleveland Will Not Vote, but His
Associates Except Mr.. Olncy Will.
President Cleveland drove into town this
morning and spent the day at the White
House. Secretary Olney was his only WISH
tor SO that he was able to devote the prin-
c1pal portion of the day to the considera-
ton of the many official matters requiring
his personal attention. Owing to the alb
sence of many members of the cabinet it is
possible that the regular Tuesday cabinet
meeting will be omitted tomorrow
The President will not vote in his state
this year. Secretary Lamont, however, will
cast his vote in New York city tomorrow
II Is presumed that he will vote for Tam
many. There is no question that he will
vote the remainder of the democratic
ticket. Secretary Carlisle left here this
afternoon for Covington, KY where he will
vote tomorrow. Some one asked him at the
Treasury Department this morning how he
meant to vote and got a reply that cit was
nobody's business but his own" The i'm
preston still obtains, however, that he will
scratch Hardin. Attorney General Har-
mon has been campaigning for Campbell in
onio and will vote for him tomorrow. Sec
rotary Olney is too busy with foreign COM
plicat1ons to leave the city at present. 1t is
not believed, however, that the loss of his
vote Will affect democratic chances IN
Massachusetts. Assistant Secretary Ham,
lin will vote in Massachusetts, and Assist
ant Secretary Curtis will vote in New York.

Values Depressed on Account of
London Selling.
FEARS OF 4 CLIMAX IN KAFFIRS
Several of the Bears Inaugulate a
Small Raid.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 4.-Under the in
auence Of rather free London selling stock
values N all parts of the active list were
substantially depressed this morning. The
securities listed on both exchanges were
most conspicuous, foreign houses showing
unmistakable evidences of desire to re-
duce speculative risks. The unsettled dip
lomatic situation and fears of an approach
ing climax in Kaffir securities were the
dominant motives for the selling move
ment.
Several of the more prominent bear OPP
orators in the local market took advantage
of the foreign attitude to put out round
amounts of short stocks. In the belief
that the selling would have exhausted
itself before the noon hour. a moderate
amount Of commission buying was in
spired, but foreign selling continued long
into the afternoon, during which time the
days lowest level was reached Louisville
and Nashville and Atchison were especially
weak, per cent declines being recorded in
each.
ST. Paul. Notwithstanding a reported in
crease of $s6O.O00 in September earnings,
and the ne:ghboring members of the
granger group were sold by traders with
more than usual confidence.
The foreign exchange situation, al
though rates continue at least one-half per
cent under the export point, continues to
oVefSnadoW the market, as evidences OF a
probable eff1ux of gold are multiplying.
A firm connected with the last important
outflow is known to have figured on max
ing shipments last week. and was only
prevented by the unprofitableness Of the
process. Should exchange rates advance,
however, sentiment will not be permitted
to interfere with the profits of a surely
commercial transaction.
The assurance that the treasury's GOLD
reserve will be kept intact has brought the
more significant features Of the gold situa
ton into notice, namely, the excess Of ims
ports and the deficiency Of revenue. \ rem
ely for the latter conditions Is Of greater
necessity than the maintenance of an ar
bitrary gold reserve.
The industrial department was an active
feature in the days transactions. and In
the main followed the trend of the usually
more conservative railway issues.
Chicago Gas suffered most from the actfv-
ity in the latter department, sharp decline
of ga per cent following fair volume OF
business. The legal interferences in the
way of prompt reorganization were chiefly
responsible for the decline. Sugar was
stronger than the prevailing idea Of its
value seemed to warrant, the seeming in
consistency being credited to the covering of
last weeks short contracts.
The increase in the short interest recorded
to day should force early reaction from
the closing level. unless new grounds for ap-
prehension appear.
