MIR. LANGTRY
Will Sue the Jersey Lily
For a Divorce.
ROyne Family Involved in
the Scandal.
Mrs. Langry Was Said to Be About
TO Marry Prince.

London, Aug. 13. 1t was positively
announced tonight by Edward Langtry,
husband Of the Jersey Lily, that he will
bring suit for absolute divorce from his
wife and that papers in the case would be
served on her. by his direction, this
week. What interests Londoners moro
particularly is the fact that many persons
high in social life, anC that even royalty
itself, are to be named as correspondents.
Mr.. Langtry is moved to this course
after years Of silence under provocntion
that few men would endure by the report
in the English newspapers of Mrs. Lang
try's prospective marriage TO Prince Ester
hazy de Galantha. OF Austria.
MIR. Langtry does not think that the
divorce will be contested. as the name OF
EsterhaZy will probably figure extensively
in the court proceedings.
Prince Esterhazy is a noted character
in Europe He is prominent in Austria
and is very favorably known at the court
Of his country.
The Jersey Lily is proverbial for her
partiality TO sporting men. and the
prince is one OF the foremost horsemen
in Europe. His racing stock is well
known on tho continent. His income
is sufficiently large to make the
bloods Of Paris jealous. Prince Paul, for

insanity was something that only experts
could decide upon. Those who testified
that the doctor was insane were Drs. w.
II. Palmer, L. II. Peckham and Sheffield
Smith.
DIR. Palmer said that the doctor. was
suffering with parinoia. DIR. Palmer
said that he had known Dr. O'Leary for
20 years, and had noticed that the doctor
acted queerly for some time. and that he
was also suffering from delusions.
For instance, he believed that his
mother owed him sum of $500. and
this. DIR. Palmer said. was not true.

purpose of purchasing rubber stock for

him that no was in possession Of bond

but Mr.. Tanner brought to light the fact
that Clement was the owner OF such

brother. Charles
DIR. O'Lcary took the stand, and told .

nothing in his actions that would indi-
cate that he was insane. Judge Sweet

no could not see any reason why the doc
tor should be brought TO the court unless
it was To get his sanction, for he was al
ready confined In hospital on the recon-
mendation Of a number of reputable ply
sicians.
After Judge Sweetland had adjudged
him guilty, he asked IL the family had
made any arrangements as 60 where the
doctor should be confined and Arthur
O'Leary replied that no arrangements had
been made so then the doctor asked
Judge Sweetland, in his own behalf. IL
he could not be confined in tho Butler
Hospital, and his request was granted
In closing the case Judge Swectland
stated that the only testimony which had

1a-Gen. Calixto Garcia has won great
victory over the Spanish troops at the
town of Santa Rosalia, near Gibrara, in
Santiago do Cuba province. The town
was surprised by the insurgent troops
while big ball was in progress. at which
nearly all the Spanish officers were in
attendance.
In the height of the festivities the ball
room was fiercely attacked on all sides by
the insurgents, and the Spanish officers
had no time TO prepare any plan of de-
Tense. The few other officers who were
in charge of the garrison and at the out
posts had already surrendered to the as
saiants A few soldiers, running from
the barracks, arrived at the ballroom some
minutes before the Cubans and gave the
alarm. The officers rushed to the doors TO
escape but it was too late. The Cubans
appeared with their machetes in hand
and compelled the officers TO huddle again
in the Ballroom.
Some OF the women tainted and tho
Others shrieked and sobbed. A desperate
fight began, in which the Cubaps killed

Committed the Crime to Get
Whisky.
He Lived on the Proceeds Of Wife's
Washtub.
Had Three Drinks a Day In Jail, and
Was Cheerful.

Baltimore. Md. Aug. 13.-Peter Mona
han, "A years of age, was hanged here to-
day for the murder of his WIFE, The
crime was committed May "a. 1897, and
Monahan was convicted and sentenced:on
June IL. The drop fell at 956 a. IN.
Monahan was confirmed drunkard and
vagabond who lived on the proceeds of his
wife's labor, and spent most of his time
in Jail serving short sentences for petty
otfenses. The couple had several grown
children but none Of them lived at home
and Mrs. MoDahan earned living for
both at the washtub. Quarrels between
them were frequent and on the day OF the
murder Monaban appeared after two
days absence from homo and demanded
money. ssThe demand was refused, where
upon he went outside To the woodward
procured an axe and returning, attacked
his aged wife.
The first blow is thought to have
Knocked her senseless. A young woman
who lived with the .Monahans came into
the room just as this happened ana saw
Monahan raining blows with the weapon
upon the head of his defenseless wife. She
raised an alarm and Monahan fled but
was captured few hours later This
young woman and Monahan's children
were the principal witnesses against him
at his trial which resulted in speedy con-
viction and sentence OF death. Tn spite
OF the fact that there was an eyewitness
tn the deed, Monahan has steadily denied
his guilt. meanwhile mauifesting the
most supreme indifference as to his fate.
The only thing that seemed TO worry
him was that the jailor refused TO give
him whisky, and finally the jail provid-
eel three drinks day for him. Since
then he has been cheerful and seems to
