Bartrmone, Mp., Aug. 20.—The Missouri synod of the German Lutheran church, diseuss- 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- tion in St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians for- bidding women to even speak in the congrega- tion. ‘The synod also declares. that a congre- gation 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 bbe other bodies in opposing the schools.

Curious Condition of Jennie McCarthy’s Knee. New Yorr, Aug. 20.—A lunatic bit me,” was Jennie McCarthy's explanation to the am- bulance surgeon who took her toChambers street hospital last night. Then Dr. Harvey, the house surgeon, examined his patient. Jennie McCarthy is about twenty years old. Three modths ago she was imprisoned for drunkenness, She was released last week from Randall's island, Atthat time her knee pained her slightly, but she thought it of no conse- quence, On Sunday soy, the h around the wound presented a red and angry appearance. The limb began to swell up. The skin grew tense and painful when touched. Excrucia ing pains radiated from the wound. She did not close her eyes all Sunday night. UNBEARABLE AGONY, On Monday forenoon she was no better. The agony was unbearable. A thoughtful neighbor dropped in and sug- gested that she had blood poisoning. Then the Chamber's street ambulance was hastily sent for The house surgeon found that Jennie McCar- thy’s left knee was tremendously swollen above and below the joint. All the tissues down to the bone itself were highly inflamed. The mark of a small wound of some kind was still visible on the inner side of the joint. Dr. Harvey said it was impossible at this stage to say positively by what means the mark was produced. DR. HARVEY'S STATEMENT. “According to Jennie McCarthy's account the wound which I examined was made by the bite ofa lunatic on Randall's Island ten days ago. I cannot say that there are any present indica- tions of blood pomoning. The woman's former history as # drunkard would make her a very bad patient if blood poisoning should set in. But I am in hopes that the remedies which have already been applied have prevented this danger. We often have cases of blood poisoning as the result of fights in which, say a policeman’s knuckles are broken on a man’s teeth. Then tobacco or other foreign substances are apt to get into the wound and cause in- flammation, which leads to blood poisoning. 1 have never heard that the saliva of lunatics is more dangerous than that of sane of people.” HE DID NOT SUICIDE. Mr. Fink’s Family Say He Fell Over- board Accidentally. New Yoru, Aug. 20.—The reported suicide of Frederick Fink, by jumping from the steamer Norman while on the way from Boston to Philadelphia was abso- lutely denied here today by his family. ‘They say he must have fallen over accidentally.

THE FUTURE OF EAST CAPITOL STREET, If the people of East Capitol street can only be patient a little while longer their thorough- fare will be all right. At least thet is the general belief of those at the District build- ing who ought to know something about the matter, A Sran reporter asked Capt. Symonds this afternoon how much longer it would be before the authorities would com- mence to repave the street and was informed that nothing could be done until the Metropoli- tan railroad company completed the laying of the grooved rails which they are now putting down. “I will not say that the railroad com- pany is moving as rapidly as possible,” said the captain, “but they have been delayed by things entirely beyond their control. The flood at Johnstown prevented the delivery of a large nantity of railroad iron that was ready for shipment on the Ist of June. Then there was more trouble about stone, a quan- tity of which was swept away by one of the floods which went through that part of Virginia where they were quarrying. For these delays no one can be held responsible. as the company gets through with its work we will resurface the street.” TRE OPENING OF 27TH STREET, The Commissioners gave considerable time today to the hearing of argument as to whether or not 27th street just west of the house roperty should or should not be opened. ‘bree years the old board of Commis- | sioners ordered the street to be opened, but nothing was ever done, Lately it was pro to put the order in force, and to this there is objection by J. Maury Dove, the wood and coal dealer, Mr. Dove's objection is grounded on | the fact that when the streep is opened it will destroy what little the great June freshet left of bis coal wharf and depot. 8. T. Thomas appeared for Mr. Dove, and while he raised no question as to the legal right of the Bistrict to take the property and open the street he did claim that by the provisions of an old Maryland statute his client was entitled to compensation. a Raymond will go up and view landscape some time this week and the board will then come to a definite conclusion. The probabilities are that the Commissioners will agree that the street is not needed and will | therefore permit Mr. Dove to keep on selling wood and coal at the same old stand for a few ears tocome. The District was represented y Henry E. Davis. THE SEWER COMMTASION. When you see four men with outer pockets stuffed full of mape and plats, plans and dia- rams—one of the men apparently thoroughly familiar with the place and the people, and the other three listening to him as [he discourses of catch-basins and traps— you may come to the instantaneous conclusion that the three listeners compose the new sewer commission, and that the fourth man—the McComb. he commission is at work, Yesterday and today quartet examined the river front and, in a gen- eral way, accumulated a great deal of valuable | information, not only as to what Washington has in the way of sewer facilities but also as to what she has not. COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS will leave on Thursday for Ocean Beach, where he will spend two or three days with his son, Geo. L. Douglass, his son's wife and the three grandchildren, one of whom is Jno. W.

There is a case in that section of the town called the “Division” that needs a police inves- tigation, According to statements made to a Sram reporter a country girl from Mont- gomery county, Md, came here yester- day. On Pennsylvania avenue she was accosted by a colored woman, who questioned ber con- cerning 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 s house south of the avenue. A few hours later the change in the girl was so great that even ber parents, if they are living. would hardly be able to recogyize her. The plain but neat dress she had worn in the cuuntry was thrown aside for a loud, showy garment, such as is worn by the average woman in that locality. The girl is apparently about seventeen years old, and is og unacquainted with the dark side of the wor! —o——— PRINCE AND HEIRESS. C. P. Huntington’s Daughter to Marry an Impecunious Ge: n Prince.
