IHE OGDEN DIVORCE CASE
POINTS MAY BE REVIEWED BY U. ..
SUPREME COURT.
Legality of Previous Proceedings on
Part of His Wife Not
Determined.

The divorce suit instituted in February,
1893. by David NJ. Ogden against his wife.
Sarah ]. Ogden. and which has gone
through the District Supreme Court and
the Court Of Appeals Of the District OF
Columbia will, If possible. 1t is stated, be
taken to the Supreme Court Of the United
States. In his petition for divorce the COM
plainant alleged that his wife had been
cruel to him to such an extent that his
life and health were endangered.
He also charged that at the time Of his
marriage to her the defendant had hus-
band. Henry johnson Hanna, formerly as
sistant surgeon in the United States army
and living in st. Louis. She had procured
a divorce from Hanna in 1879, but had not
been a resident of the state for one year
prior to bringing the suit, as the laws OF
Missouri require, and therefore 1t was
claimed the decree was invalid.
1t was stated that at the time Ogden be-
came acquainted with the defendant she
was the widow of John Shea, formerly a
clerk in the War Department
When the case came up for hearing in
the local courts, Justice Cole held that
Ogden's charge of cruelty had not been sus-
tanned and that the charge of Mrs ogden
had obtained the Missouri divorce from
Hanna fraudulently had not been made
oft.
Additional Testimony Allowed.
Upon the application Of the husband
however, Justice Cole allowed the taking
of additional testimony on the latter point
After this was done Justice Barnard heard
the case and held that Mrs. Ogden had not
been a resident of Missouri for the statu-
tory term when she filed petition for di-
vorce from Hanna, and that for this rea-
son the divorce obtained there was void
Inasmuch as it appeared to the court tnat
Hanna still lived, and that he was still the
husband Of Mrs. Ogden, Justice Barnard
granted divorce to Mr.. Ogden.
Mrs. Ogden appealed from the decree or
the Supreme Court Of the District OF Co
lumbia to the Court Of Appeals for the Dis
trict, and that tribunal, after having the
months affirmed Justice Barnard's decision
In the opinion of the Court Of Appeals an
nounced by Mr. Justice Shepard, 1t Is stat
ed that the charges Of cruelty preferred by
Ogden against his wife were sustained by
the testimony, and he was entitled to d.
vorce on that ground.
Reasons for Granting Divorce.
Here 1t may be stated that Justice Bar
nard granted the divorce on the ground that
the decree Of divorce obtained by Mrs
Hanna from her husband in the Missouri
courts was null and void. because the peti-
toner had not acquired legal residence in
that state before applying for divorce.
This phase of the matter was not decided
by the Court of Appeals, 1t being decided
that to hold that the St. Louis decree could
be attacked in this jurisdiction might Sc
rousy embarrass Mr.. Hanna, whom, 1t ap-
peared, has remarked and has a number
of children by his second wife. 1t Is said
there is also a law in Missouri forblddlnS
the reopening of divorce cases after the
lapse Of a certain time.

Realizing Sales Caused Temporary
Heaviness in Stocks.
REACTION DURING NOON HOUR
Strong Undertone Shown by Ready
Absorption of Offerings.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, October GA heavy vol
ume of realizing sales during the opening
hour prevented any noteworthy gains In
prices this morning. The strength of tho
market was shown by Its ability to absorb
such sales without becoming weak in tone
or falling OF in the volume of business.
London again sold literally. the total
transactions for that account being es.!-
mated at $4,000 shares. This selling natu-
rally made the tone heavy and dampenei
the enthusiasm among the trading element.
During the noon hour the market gained
new strength, and 1t was soon apparent
that the large banking interests were
active. Morgan brokers appeared in North
ern Pacific and forced up the price under
liberal dealings. The size Of the Offerings
within a fraction of SO was unusually large,
but they were all taken. and the price ad-
vanced. The failure in the winter wheat
belt has been overestimated, 1t Is said. ana
the present movement is intended to cut
down the discrepancy between these issues
and those Of Union Pacific.
The latter stock was well bought in spite
of the fact that 1t has been allowed to take
care Of itself of late.
The buying Of the granger shares was
good, but had to contend with proht-tak.ug
on large scale.
The settlement Of the coal strike Ia
said to depend largely upon a few indepen-
dent operators in the Scranton district, and
the hope Is expressed that this opposition
may soon disappear.
The coal shares are neglected to some
extent by reason of the repeated disap-
pointments in ending this labor trouble.
They are not allowed to become weak. how
ever, and confidence Is strong in a settle
ment Of differences during the present
week.
The Industrial shares were irregular with
IN narrow limits, largely because Of yes
terday's furry in call money and the con-
sequent shifting of loans.
The selling in this group could not be
traced to any important interest and is
believed to have been confined to the
room.
The Traction shares are going into strong
hands, and important dealings are pre-
dtcted for this group later in the season.
Money loaned from to 3 per cent during
a greater part of the day. and there was
no genuine concern over the future OF the
money market.
but the trust companies and certain pri-
vate international institutions are willing
to supply the demand at current rates
There Is stringency feared and the oc-
casonal return to the legal rate will scarce
ly upset the stock market beyond the
limits Of traders reaction. The present
tone of the market Is suggestive of strong
belief in the future of American enter
prise.
The market does not resemble one made
in the interest of selling stocks already
held. but rather one intended to endure
until value Is exhausted. If smaller men
and lesser interests had made this market
the profit taking of today and yesterday
would have marked its elimination.

Action Taken by Ohioans Resident in
the City.

A largely attended meeting of Ohio cit
liens was held this morning in the office Of
the commissioner Of internal revenue to
take suitable action on the death OF ex-
Secretary Sherman. George w. Wilson,
commissioner of internal revenue, who pre-
sided, said he had called the meeting be-
cause 1t was proper that citizens Of Ohio
should take action, and there was no mem
Der of the Ohio congressional delegation in
Washington to take the initiative.
At the suggestion of the meeting Mr.. Will
son appointed the following committee on
resolutions: Thomas H Anderson, United
States district attorney, chairman; Assist

in which he reviewed the achievements Of
the distinguished son of Ohio. He spoke of
Mr.. Sherman's contest for the speakership.
when he could have gained that honor IL he
would but compromise with southern slave
holders, as one Of the greatest events in his
career
Mr.. Frank L. Campbell combated the
idea that Senator Sherman had been a
cold" unapproachable man. He might
have appeared so to those who wished only
to use him for their own ends-those V no
had an lax to grind" but when q man
came to him as friend there was none SO
ready to help him and to extend the right
hand of fellowship. Col Doane and Mr..
F. w. Parks also eulogized the life and
character of the dead statesman.
At the conclusion Of the remarks the reso-
lutions submitted by the committee were
unanimously adopted. They declare that
his eminent public services, In both houses
of Congress and in the cabinet, extending
over a period of nearly half century
comprising more than half of his life. and

Curious Case of Lud Madison In
Wheeling, w. Ea.

CHICAGO, October E3-A special to the
Record from Wheeling, w. Va, says:
Just year ago the circuit court OF Fay
cite county, Judge Montgomery presiding,
sentenced Lud Madison, colored, to be
hanged January IA in the state penitentiary
at Moundsvile for the murder Of another
negro Two days before the date of the
execution Gov. Atkinson issued a respite for
nine days. The Judge who sentenced him
died before the reprieve expired. TWO weeks
ago Madison's case was forced upon the
authorities by a report of it to Gov. Atkin-
son. The governor decided that the judge
being dead and the time for resentence
having passed, no one can now resentence
Madison. Further, the date of legal death
having passed, Madison cannot be hanged
on the original sentence. AS he was never
sentenced to Imprisonment he cannot be
kept in the penitentiary. SO Madison will
probably be released in a few days.
