Probable Death of the Famous Lola
Montez.—Wednesday's New York Tribune
says:
At a late hour last evening we were surprised to learn that the celebrated Madame
Lola Montez, Countess of Landsfeldt, lay at
the point of death, and was not expected to
survive the night. On Saturday morning,
she arose in her usual health, but soon complained of giddiness, and, lying down, was at
once deprived of speech and motion by a
paralytic stroke. Sunday and Monday she
was able to partially recognize those about
her, but yesterday seemed to have lost all
consciousness, and was pronounced by her
medical attendants as beyond hope of life.
For some time past she has resided at No. 15
Clinton-place, and during her sickness has
been faithfully cared for by several of her
intimate friends.
