PRINCE AND HEIRESS.
G. p. Huntington's Daughter to Marry
an Impecunious German Prince.

London Special Cable Dispatch to the n Y World
Another impecunious foreigner has captured
an American heiress. Miss Huntington, the
daughter of Mr.. Coils Z. Huntington Of Union
Pacific fame, is engaged TO be married to
Prince Hatzfeldt Miss Huntington has been
travelling in Spain with Mrs. John Sherwood
and met the prince, who professed to be cap
tivated and followed her about, proposed mar
riage and was accepted The acceptance of
his offer is fact. though the young lady's APP
proval is necessary.
Prince Hatzfeldt is a cousin to Count HAITI
feldt, the German ambassador in London, who
is likewise married to an American girl, Miss
Moulton. The countess is, however, now
separated from her husband and resides in
Paris.
Prince Hatzfeldt, who is engaged to marry
Miss Huntington, used to be one OF the secre-
taries Of legation here. He is tall and fair,
with pale face and slight stoop. He is well
known in the clubs here which sporting men
most frequent and is considered a capital fellow
among his set. There is nothing against him
but chronic impecuniosity and q tendency to
contract debts which there is no immediate
prospect of paying. For a while he affected the
turf, but had not money enough to cut much Of
figure. He has been a well-known figure at
most Of the fashionable watering places on the
continent and has cultivated the acquaintance
OF numerous rich American girls at Monte
Carlo, Baden, Hamburg and other foreign re-
sorts. He has been assiduous in his attentions
to Miss Huntington. Some OF the princes
friends estimate his debts to amount to 1000 600
francs, which he, Of course, expects TO have
paid off when he is married.
Prince Francis of Hatzfeldt- wildenburr vas
born on June 10, 1853, and has figured some
what prominently in several gambling episodes
of the most unsavory nature. One Of these.
which occurred a couple Of years ago, attracted
much attention at the time, and led 10 the
princes temporary eclipse. Although his
father and mother are extremely popular both
at Berlin and at Vienna, he himself h regarded
somewhat as declasse, and - the black sheen
Of his family he il no longer in the diplomatic
service or in the army.

MORRIS PARK.
A New Race Track Regularly Opened
Today.

New YORK, Aug. 20.-Morris Park, as 1t will
be commonly called in contradistinction to Je-
rome and Monmouth park race tracks, was
regularly opened as a race course today.
1t is the property of Mr.. John Morris, who
has associated with him in its management the
New York jockey club. The grounds and track
are located in Westchester county, on the
Harlem branch Of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, and are partly within
the city limits. The new course has the finest
world. An idea Of its completeness may
be gained from the fact that its sub-drainage
cost a quarter of a million dollars Its grand
stand is the largest and most complete of any
in the world and all its appurtenances
are in the highest degree the best results Of
modern improvements. The track has both
elliptical and straight away tracks and it is be-
heved that they will be, when properly settled
and in condition, the fastest in America.

WOMEN TEACHERS.
Their Limit Discussed by q German
Lutheran Synod.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 2O.-The Missouri
synod of the German Lutheran church, discuss
ing this question, "How far and under what
conditions do we allow women to teach?" have
decided that women must not be allowed to
teach in the church at all, following the injunc-
ton in st. Paul's letter to the Corinthians for
bidding women to even speak in the congrega-
ton. The synod also declares that a congre-
CATION may discharge their pastor or parochial
school teacher only if they are impious or ne
glect duty. With regard to public schools they
make it plain that they have no wish to be
mixed up with other bodies in opposing the
schools. The public schools, say the Lutherans,
are excellent. and they are willing to pay their
share for their support, but prefer to teach
their children in their parochial schools. Rev.
A. I. Hanser's congregation at Buffalo, NY,
and Rev. K. Walz's, Sharpsburg, Pa, were ad-
mitted to the synod

WoLFBoRo', Nh, Aug. 20.-Alfred Porter,
aged about nineteen, of Dover, a student at
Dartmouth college, was shot last night and in
st unity killed on Kenniston's Island, near this
place. Porter had been camping on the island

Last evening Towle was cleaning revolver
which he supposed was not loaded, when it was
discharged and the ball passed through the
tent and entered Porter's body just below the
first rib. 1t then took an upward course and
probably entered the heart. Porter died in
stantly. The body was taken to Dover this

Decoyed to n Den of Infamy.

There is a case in that section of the town
called the Division" that needs police inves-
tigation. According to statements made to a
STAR reporter a country girl from Mont
gomery county, Md, came here yester-
day. On Pennsylvania avenue she was accosted
by colored woman. who questioned her con-
corning her destination. The young girl
frankly told her that she did not know where
she was going, and in answer to the inquiry as
to whether she had a home or not. the girl
answered in the affirmative. Then, it is
stated, she escorted the girl to q house
south of the avenue. few hours later the
change in the girl was so great that even her
parents, if they are living. would hardly be
able to recognize her. The plain but neat dress
she had worn in the country was thrown aside
for a loud, SNOWY garment. such as is worn by
the average woman in that locality The girl
is apparently about seventeen years old, and is
wholly unacquainted with the dark side Of the
world

From Wall Street Today.

NEw YORK, Aug. 20.-The stock market
showed a moderate degree of animation in the
aggregate, but the dealings in the regular list
were small and entirely devoid of interest. The
only feature was the transactions in the trust
stocks. The opening was fairly firm, most
stocks showing advances over last evenings
figures of from Is to g per cent, while sugar
was remarkable with gain of per cent at 100.
The subsequent dealings in the regular list
showed declining tendency, though outside of
Burlington and ST. Paul business was simply stag
nant. Cotton OIL however, resumed its decline
of yesterday and dropped to 4S against 495x last
evening. Sugar, after further advance to
10919, reacted to 1915. while lead declined
fraction. Late in the hour there was partial
reaction, and at IL o'clock the market was dull
and firm at fractional declines from first prices.
