DIVORCED FOR NAUGHT
EDWARD LANGTRY SAYS THE FAIR
LILY CANNOT WED AGAIN.
He RidicuIes the California Decree
and Asserts that She VIII Be Gull
ty of Bigamy If She Narries.

LONDON, May 17.-Edward Langtry is
quoted here to-day as saying that the in
formation which he had received of the
granting of a decree of divorce to his wife,
the actress Lily Langtry, by California
court, is that which has appeared in the
news dispatches. He ridicules the power of
the California court and says: Mrs. Lang
try cannot remarry without committing
bigamy and if she does so and comes to
England it will be within the power of the
public prosecutor to indct her. L myself
would not contemplate such a step, but he
might. l cannot conceive what the woman
means. AS for the charge of desertion, on
which the decree is said to be based the
only desertion have been guilty of was in
1884, when 1 was packed off to America
on some business which kept me lodging
about Chicago and New York. l have been
kind and fair to her all along, commencing
with the marriage settlement, which is
still good whereby willed her my property
in Ireland
When Mr.. Langtry was asked if there
was any one Mrs. Langtry was likely to
marry he said significantly, Yes; but 1
do not intend to take any action whatever
in regard to decree. l treat it with the
same contempt that did the citation

OIL MEN DISAPPOINTED.
The Decker Well Suddenly ChOked Up
with Salt Water.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ALEXANDRIA. Ind, May 1.-THE Deck
er well was successfully shot this after
neon after the second trial at exploding
the nitroglycerin and developed an oiler
that even surpassed the Carver well. Lat
er the well filled up with salt water and
the flow of oil ceased. 1t shows signs of
being phenomenal gasser. The new gush-
er is situated five hundred yards northeast
from the Carver we'll and is located on
tract of land three acres in extent, owned
by Henry Buck The well was to have been
shot this morning. but for some reason
the "go-deyil' failed to explode the gly-
cerin. A second attempt was made this
afternoon with like effect and il was not
until the third trial that the attempt at
shooting was effective. For time ii
seemed likely that only gas had been dis
covered but that would have been in guam
titles FAR exceeding the largest gas well in
the belt. IL was estimated that the gas out
put was at the rate of 20 900, 600 cubic feet
per day. Scarcely thirty minutes had
elapsed before the oil began flowing and
at p. m. il was flowing at the rate of
forty barrels per hour. Then the salt water
came and now the oil men are cast down
again. Numerous wells are being sunk to
the south and west of these wells but there
is little prob" bilty of any further develop
ments for a week or ten days.

KNEW HIS END WAS NEAR.
Col. William c. Starr, n "Fighting
Quaker" Dies at Richmond.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, May 17-Col. William
G. Starr, aged seventy-five, died this morn
ing at his home here of apoplexy, after
short Illness Colonel Starr had strong
desire to live through the encampment last
week and told his friends that it would be
his last chance to meet them. He had been
growing feeble for some time and expected
death. On the day the Loyal Legion met
he had an attack OF heart failure. He was
to read a paper at the meeting that night
and asked the attending physician to get
him in shape. The doctor forbade him GO
ing out and his wife took his paper to
the meeting of the Legion and read it. Sew
tempted to cheer him up, but he told them
1t was no use, saying he knew he was
done for Colonel Starr was born in
philadelphia in 1922, but for many years
had been prominent resident and bust
ness man of Richmond. He was the head
OF the firm of W. c.. Starr & Son, manu-

Legion and the Religious Society of
Friends. He was one of the few fighting

war at the beginning. He organized the
Fourth Virginia Regiment and later en-
listed in the Ninth Virginia Regiment as
lieutenant colonel. Colonel Starr was
member of the convention that divided the
State of Virginia, setting off West Virginia.

No Word from Mr.. Calhoun.

WASHINGTON, May 17.--No word has
come to the Department of State from
Mr.. Calhoun, who went to Cuba as special
counsel for the United States in the Ruiz
case. 1t is known through General Lees
dispatches that he arrived safely, but from
the special counsel himself not Il single
word has been received at either the White
House or the State Department. This is
no matter OF surprise to the officials, be-
cause it is hardly to be expected that Mr..
Calhoun or any other person in the short
period of time that has elapsed since his
arrival in Havana could be in position
to report from SO difficult a subject as the
actual conditions in Cuba.
The strongest possible denial is made at
the department that Mr. Rockhil, while
assistant secretary of state under the last
administration, addressed instructions TO
United States consuls in Cuba warning
them TO make their reports less favorable
to the Cuban cause and more favorable to
the SpaniardS. Mr.. Rockhill is still at the
State Department by request of the Presi-
dent. aiding his successor in the work of
the office. He says that the statement is
unquaifiedly false.

George Francis VIII Press His Claim
to the City of Omaha.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Journal to-
morrow will say: George Francis Train
has reopened his claim to the city of Oma-
ha, and he intends to press it to the last.
If he wins, he will be worth $50 600; if he
loses, he will be no poorer than he is now.
Certain of his friends have investigated
the matter, and they are convinced that
his cause is just and that the claim, grow
ing out of the old Union Pacific litigation
and subsequent proceedings, in which he
was legally declared a lunatic, is valid.
Those friends have employed a large syn
dictate of Eastern and Western lawyers to
conduct his case, and Proprietor Merritield,
of the Continental Hotel, where Citizen
Train lives, and former Mayor Bemis, OF
Omaha, are protecting his interests.

HAVANA, May lin view of the state
ment published in New York that Consul
General Fitzhugh Lee had made a report
to the State Department in the course of
which he had attacked Captain General
Weyler savagely and declared that the in
SurSents would be successful in driving the

asserted in any report or orally that the
insurgents could eXpel the Spanish troops
from the island under the conditions now
existing. Consul General Lee is greatly
annoyed by the publication of this UNI
