disappearance OF William p Wentworth.
the bookkeeper of the Victoria Hotel, New
York, was cleared yesterday by his arrest
on a charge Of stealing SIS, $50 of funds be-
longing to the hotel.
Wentworth has been missing since Au-
gust 5. Manager Vansant at that time
said that he thought there was nothing
absence; that he belonged to a good Family
and had the reputation of being a man of
exemplary habits. A large interest in the
Victoria Hall is controlled by Mrs. Fioren-
tine Stanfield guardian of her son.
Douglas NJ. Stanfield. to whom it was will
ed by his grandfather, Mark NJ. Stanfieid,
of the big Boston dry goods house of STAN
field, Wentworth & Co. The Wentworth in
the firm is the father OF William F. Went
worth. Mark Stanfield directed a clause in
his will that the Stanfield interest In the
Victoria Hotel should be represented by a
bookkeeper there. Young Wentworth was
chosen for the position. 1t WAS Mrs STAN
field who first requested the police to look
for Wentworth. She did ii reluctantly and
only after the experts had shown n. be-
yond the shadow of doubt that Went
worth had appropriated SIS. $50 Of the no.
tells money. The police found that two
women were connected with the case one
is Miss May Dilkes of 133 West 56th street
and the other is Miss Bessie Livingstol
Miss Dukes lived in a fiat of her own Miss
Livingston was installed in a fashionab
9Th avenue boarding house. The detectives
traced Wentworth to Pittsfeld, Mass from
there to Hamilton. Ont. then back TO pat
chogue. l.. l. They next heard of him in
Canada again, this time in Clayton Ont
From there he went to Saratoga, and
he left there Tuesday, and was arrested
During all his wanderings Wentworth had
gone under the alias of j. b. Williams.

The succession of the Duke OF Edinburrt
TO the throne OF Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-

commented upon in Berlin. When the
question of the Brunswick succession was
agitated in 1885 Prince Bismarck. who was
then imperial chancellor. pronounced Il i'm
possible that q foreigner should OCCUPY .
German throne.
This declaration. supported as IL was
afterward by q statement that the Duke Of
Edinburgh had given up his claim In favor
of his son, was nominally accepted In Ger
many as proof that no foreigner wouid be
permitted to reign in a German se&te.
Prince Alfred being TO all fntents and pur-
poses a German. SubseQuen tly IL was semi.
officially denied that the Duke ~ Ldln-
burgh had renounced his claim. This how
ever, has little effect the fact that Prince
Alfred was educated at Coburg In acoord-
ance with German ideas confirming the POD
ular belief that he was TO succeed 70 the
duchy. The views entertained here were
that an English prince with a Russian con-
sort was an impossibility as a Gefyran
ruler. Moreover, the declaration that
Prince Alfred had become OF age In DC

A Man and Wife in Altoona Suffer Mt
the Hands of Brutal Men.

One of the most dastardly crimes ever
committed in Altoona. Pa. was perpetrated
on Mrs. and Mr.. Anton Greiner at their
home early yesterday morning. Mrs.
Greiner who had gone into an adjoining
room to investigate suspicious noise, re-
turned to the apartment in which her hus-
band was sleeping and found him uncon-
scious. She was about to call On a neigh
Dor for assistance, when she was seized by
three masked men. Chloroform was thrown
into her face and a cloth saturated with the
drug was held to her nostrils until she lost
consciousness. The thieves bound Mrs.
Greiner and treated her to many indigni-
ties They tied a rope about her neck ard
dragged her about the room. The burglars
went through the house and secured Sos
and several articles of value. Yesterday
morning neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Greiner be-
ing seen about the house the neighbcrs
forced open the door and found both VIC
TINS still unconscious. A physician soon
brought Mr.. Grener to. but Mrs. Greiner
did not recover consciousness until IL
o'clock last night, and is still in precari-
