the husband oi I/ily Langtry , the ac
tress , died last night in the asylum for
the insane at Chester , to which he had
recently been committed by a magis
trate after ho had been found wand
ering and helpless.
Edward Langtry and 'Emilie Char
lotte Le Breton were married about
twenty-fivo years ago.
The bride was even then known as
the "Jersey Lily , * ' being a native of
the Island of Jersey , where she was
born in 1853. Her father. Dean Le
Breton , was once said to be the hand
somest man in England. He was com
paratively poor , while Mr. Langtry
was comparatively rich. Therefore
the "Lily" was considered to have
made a remarkably good match. Mr.
Langtry was about twelve years her
Benior.
Mrs. Langtry graduated from so
ciety to the stage , and her subsequent
career is a matter of histrionic history.
Sepui tion and several divorce suits ,
followed , but not until the current
year was a decree obtained , a Cali
fornia court granting it. Mr. Langtry
denied the jurisdiction and insisted
that Mrs. Langtry could not be mar
ried again. It was rumored that she
was about to become the wife of Prince
Esterhazy of Austria , to whom , it is
now rumored , she has since been
wedded.
While Mr. Langtry was dying his
former wife was winning the Czare-
witch stakes and receiving the atten
tions of the Prince of Wales , the Duke
of Cambridge and other aristocrats at
Newinar ket.
GORMAN TO RETIRE.
The Maryland Leader Ready to Retire
in the Interest of Party Harmony.
Baltimore , Md. , Oct 13. United
States Senator Gorman yesterday is
sued an open letter to Edwin F. Abcll ,
publisher of the Baltimore Sun , in
which he offers to relinquish the lead
ership of the Democracy in Maryland ,
providing Mr. Abell will accept it and
support the Democratic ticket in the
coming state and legislative cam
paign. He also intimates that ho will
forego his ambition to succeed himself
in the United States Senate if it can
be shown that such a step is neces
sary to Democratic success.
The letter , which is a " very long one ,
reviews the course of the Sun in its
opposition to Mr. Gorman , because of
his views upon civil service , tariff and
ballot reform measures. To all the
charges made against him upon this
score , Mr. Gorman pleads guilty , but
quotes the Sun as having admitted
that such questions were-largely mat
ters of opinion , and asserts that every
man is free to think as he pleases re
garding them. He defends his course
in regard to all these questions.
Mr. Abell declined to say what
course he would pursue in the matter ,
or to express any opinion concerning
the letter , which appears in the Sun
as a paid advertisement

PANIC 'N A THEATER.
Three Dead and Thirty-Three Injured
The Dome Fall * In.
Cincinnati. Ohio , Oct IS. About
8:50 : o'clock last night , as the perform
ance at Robinson's opera house began ,
the plastering began to fall from the
center of the dome ceiling , forty or
fifty feet above the heads of the people
ple seated in the parquette. This con
tinued three minutes , causing a rush
out of the house. The house and the
galleries were partly ompiied , when
the dome in the center of the roof ,
with its supporting timbers and truss
es , cams tumbling down. This ex
tended clear across the opera house ,
and was about thirty feet wide. When
it fell , the ends of it struck cither side
of the gallery , crushing it , and scat
tering timber in every direction and
landing in the center of the parquette.
Scarcely anybody was hurt in the gal
lery , and nobody was hurt in the bal
cony or dress circles. There were
very few in the gallery at the time.
The injured are those who had not yet
escaped from the parquette.
There are three dead , and thirty-
three moro or less seriously injured
are at the Cincinnati hospital , while
many suffered slight injuries but were
able to go to their homes.
The theater was built over twenty-
five years ago , and the accident was
caused by the rotting of the wooden
trusses which held the roof.
The disaster recalls forcibly a more
fearful one which took place in the
same building in February , 1876 , when
a score of children lost their lives.

the murder occurred her husband was
working in the orchard , a stone's
throw from the house. He was at
tracted by the barking of a dog and
rushing to the house found his wife
dying on the floor. An ugly gash in
the back of her head , a blow from a
corn knife , opening the skull , told the
story of the murder , while the open
bureau drawers and the contents
strewn over all the rooms , revealed
the object
Paul and his wife have not been
prosperous , but , by hard labor and
frugality had saved Si 30. The mur
derers got the entire amount. It was
the work of tramps , but they eluded
the angry neighbors , who have scoured
the woods and hills all day.
