OF
WIDE INTEREST

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert P. Huntington
made formal announcement this week
at their country place, Hopeland
house, Staatsburg on Hudson, of the
engagement Of their elder daughter,
Miss Helen Dinsmore Huntington to
Vincent Astor, son of the late Col. John
Jacob Astor, by his first marriage and
head Of the Aston family in this coun-
try. The engagement is one of the
most notable In many years and is of
Wide interest here as well as in Europe.
Vincent Aston has been reported as
engaged many times without any good
spring that he might become engaged,
promptly denied. Miss Hunting ton
comes from a family prominent in New
n9rk Tor several generations, her faith
ers family being one of the oldest in
Kentueky! Her mother was Miss Helen
Gray DlnsmQre, a daughter OF the late
William B. Dinsmore, jr, Of that city.

the founder of the Adams Express
company. The Dinsmore family has

Miss Huntington, the late Mr.. and Mrs.
William b. Dinsmore, lived for many
years at 800 Fifth avenue and at the
Locusts, their splendid country place in
Staatsburg, which is one of the most
extensive In that section. Mr.. Dins-
more was for many years president of
the Adams Express company. In the
palmy days of the old Academy of
music the Dinsmores had one Of the
proscenium boxes. something much to
be desired in those days when New
York society was smaller. and OF the
opposite side of the house was the
Aston box. where appeared on all great
occasions Mrs. Aston, the grandmother
Of Vincent Astor, who for years was
the acknowledged leader Of society
there. The first william B. Dinsmore
was a collector of paintings, famous in
his day, n his country house was al

loo acres extending to the banks of
the Hudson. unlike any of the other
estates in that section. On the death
of Mr.. Dinsmore, sr., this place was
B. Dinsmore, jr., and Clarence Gray
Dinsmore, who alternated in its occu-
pancy. Both sons are dead. The we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. Huntington, which
S~taatsburg in Tune of 1892, was one OF
the most brilliant of that time. The
New York guests went up on a special
train. and after the wedding there was
being placed throughout the great
country house and on the yerandas.
After the breakfast the bridal party

have lived at Hopeland house, which
was built on the Dinsmore estate, COM

daughter was introduced to society
two years g in New York, but with
out any particular formality. Miss
Huntington is a niece of William B.
Dinsmore, the third to bear that name,
who lives most Of the year in Tuxedo,
and. before it was torn down at the old
home of his father, Z East Forty-sev-

Moorhead Man Was
Shocked to Death
at Ii O'clock Today

Edon A. Dyer, lineman for the
Moorhead electric light works, lost his
life about II o'clock this morning by
electrocution. The pulmotor Of the
Union Light, Heat & Power CO., Far
go. was used for more than an hour,
but there was no sign of resuscitation
and the doctors present pronounced
the man dead.
City Clerk Price said this afternoon
that he had been unable to get any
clear account as to how the accident
happened. In the regular course of
his work, Line,nan Dyer, with others,
was at work at the corner Of Eleventh
and Front streets, east Of the Com
stock hotel, and Dyer was at the top
Of a pole resting on a small platform.
It is said he was wearing gloves and
took hold of a wire with his left hand,
the glove of which is said to have had
small holes in the palm of it. The
voltage passing through the wire was
the usual one Of 1900 volts. Men
who were working with Dyer quickly
realized that the unfortunate man
was in trouble and went to his aid.

day, came into possession of his
vast fortune, inherited from his father,
a year ago. Besides the great amount
Of real estate in that city, he inherited
Beechwood, the Astor villa in Newport,
and Ferncliffe the country place in
Fehtnecliff, N. Y. He also inherited the
steam yacht Mona, which he kept in
commission all last summer, making
FREQUENT trips between Newport and
that city, although he was in Newport
but a short time. His mother, Mrs.
John Astor, was at Beechwood until
the sudden death of her brother, Bar
ton Willing, in Philadelphia early i'll
September. Mr.. Astor is devoted TO
outdoor sports and he is keen on the
subject of automobiling, having several
high power cars. BY the death of his
father on the Titanic he was called up
on to resume responsibilities unusual
for one of his age and he seems to bear
them with dignity. His career at Har-
ward university was cut short owing to
his fathers death as he has been
obliged to. attend personally to the
great interests OF the estate. Last
winter he was with his mother and
sister at the home Of Lloyd S. Bryce,
which they leased for the winter, and
quite recently Mrs. John Astor has
leased for this season the house Of
Harry r. Hollins, 81 West. Fifty-siNth
street, where she will be for the VIM
ter with her children. During the
recent campaign for the mayoralty Mr..
Astor was much interested, and in, the
winning party. 1t is expected that the
wedding will be celebrated in Stats
burg early next spring, but no date
has been mentioned for it. Mr.. Astor
Is at Ferncliffe with his mother and
sister, where they went last Tuesday.
