SENSATIONAL DIVORCE CASE.

After Eleven Years of Misery & Wife Re-
 volts Against the Brutality of Her Hus-
 band, Emperor Frederick's Godson.
 RUTHERFORD, N J., Dec 21-A decided sensation has been created in the upper cir cles of society here by the affidavits filed in the suit of Mrs. Penelope Agnes Luttgen against her husband, Frederick William Luttgen, for an absolute divorce and alimony.
 Eleven years ago, moving among the chosen -Four Hundred" of New York, was Miss Penelope Agnes Marshall. then a haud some girl of 20 Among her society friends was a young man about her own age, a broker and commission dealer, who claimed to be godson of the late Emperor Frederick William, of Prussia, and, it is alleged, has the documents to prove it. On Nov. 22, 1877, Miss Marshall and Frederick William Lutt- gen were married in St Thomas church in Fifty-third street, New York, by the Rev. Dr. Morgan, its rector.
 Mrs Luttgen swears that about three months after their marriage he began to abuse and nl-treat her. A short time before she gave birth to her child Marshall Luttgen, on Sept. IS, 1882, her husband came home and called her 'demon and a fiend," and he refused to furnish her with proper food.
 She swears that during the past seven years she has not had one day of happiness owing to the blows, taunts and indignities constantly heaped upon her by her husband. He insulted her daily in the most cruel manner, and one day, when asked a question, said: "Its none of your business. Hereafter it is your duty to obey me. Do as l com mand you. Get down on your knees, crawl on the floor and ask my forgiveness of all you have done"
 He compelled her to give him power of attorney to open all her letters and packages, and to destroy or return them as he deemed fit; to see and read all letters she wrote and to mail them.
 He made the most unfounded charges. Her life became unbearable, and on Nov. 1 or 3 of this year she left him, and with her three children took refuge with friends.
 Since that time Mrs. Luttgen has been sup ported, with her children, by wealthy rela- tives who reside in New York.
 The Rev. Francis J. Clayton, who has been the rector of Grace church for four years, says in an affidavit that he has known Mrs. Frederick w Luttgen since about the year 1S61 He describes her gentle and indul- gent mother, loyal and true wife, an unex- celled housekeeper and a Christian lady. He believes the husbands charges are made for purely malicious purposes, and to hide his cruelty to his wife.

The Denver Delegation.

The Denver deep water delegation,
consisting of Judson Bent, of Colora-
do Springs, Gen. r. A. Cameron, j..
T. Carnfoth, F. l.. Dana, John c. Gal
lop and w. G.. and U. w. Sprague, is
a very intellectual and influential one,
such body of men as ale capable OF
dealing with this important question.
When Intercepted as to the views
the members of the delegation said
that they had agreed among them
selves not to promul gate any opinion
until they had met and consulted to-
gether. They were delighted with
their trip, especially pleased with
San Antonio, and while many were
in favor of deep water for Arkansas
Pass, from conversation it was in
ferred that many saw some things in
favor of Galveston, and as the govern
ment had not much surplus money,
there was no reason why deep water
should not be secured at both points.
The citizens committee were out
with the delegation this morning
driving them around the city and ex-
planning all points of interest. This
afternoon the delegation will be driven
to the head of the river, the post, and
other points of suburban interest and
at night will be banquetted by the
San Antonio club.
