Flagler Asks a Divorce.

Henry M. Flagler, the Standard Oil magnate, has sued, at West Palm Beach, Fla., for a divorce from his wife, and it is expected the decree will be granted about Aug. 1. The ground on which the divorce is asked is insanity. The Florida legislature, which has just adjourned, passed a law making insanity a ground for divorce, and it has been said the measure was enacted through the influence of Mr. Flagler.
