p———————— = mz Bellefonte, Pa., October 30, 1908, It Is Said Politics Is the Cause of Delay In Announcing the Wedding, As Senator Elkins Fears It's Effect On Voters of West Virginia, Where He Has a Fight For His Political ! Life—Wi!l Be Announced After the i Election. % London, Oct. 27. — The publicity given to the reported objection of King Edward to the Abruzzi-Elkins match because of a project to estab- lish a match between the Count of Turin, who is the duke's brother, and the Princess Patricia of Connaught, who is the king's niece, has put the court agents in an explanatory atti- tude. No attempt is made to deny the re- port that because of the Abruzzi suit the proposed Turin-Connaught alliance has been declared off, but roundabout publicity is given to other reascns for the dissociation. A report from Paris, for instance, says: “The Count of Turin, the elder brother of the Duke of the Abruzzi. bas definitely abandoned his hope of marriage with the daughter of the Duke of Connaught. The reason of the break is sald to be in his undesirable habits. “The Count of Turin is known in Paris as a desperate gambler, who | long ago wasted his own personal for | tune. Two years ago, however, he re- ceived a windfall of $60,000 left him by &n American woman, who died at Siena. The count was declared to have been engaged to her.” Betrothal After Election. Elkins, W. Va., Oct. 27.—Within a month Katherine Elkins, daughter of United States Senator Stephen B. El kins, will be the bride of the Duke of the Abruzzi. The engagement wili be announced from Washington imme. diately after election. The wedding will also occur in Washington. Servants from the Elkins palace in this city will leave this week to get the Washington home in readiness for the return of Mrs. Elkins and her daughter to that city next week. It is there the Duke of the Abruzzi will go when he comes to this country imme- diately after election. Persons here know the real reason for the delay in announcing the wed- ding. Senator Elkins is having a fight for his political life. He has lost popu- larity in this state by reason of the forthcoming international marriage. An attorney employel by him in looking after his corporation interests has been nominated for governor by the Republican party. and his chances of election are quite remote. The hardy mountaineers and miners who £0 to make up the voting majority of West Virginia have expressed them- selves in disfavor of the proposed mar- riage. It is for that reason that Senator Elkins does not want te make known the date and details of the wedding of his daughter to the Italian prince, An announcement from him to that effect before election might lose the state to the Republicans. His political | lieutenants have told him so and have shown him how the talk of such an alliance has hurt the chances of the Elkins candidate for governor. Bryan Visits Bedside of Kerr. Tuckahoe, N. Y., Oct. 27.—When William J.

Shenandoah, Pa., Oct. 27. — While Peter Snarponis, an old and well-to-do resident, was returning home from Gilberton he was accosted by several men, bound and gagged and carried to a clump of bushes, where he was robbed. Sure of finding a large sum of money on him, the footpads were greatly disappointed when their ef- forts yielded but $25 and a gold watch. Angered by their disappointment, Bnarponis was beaten severely and stabbed over the left eye and in the breast. Leaving him in this condition, the thugs disappeared. Several hours later Snarponis freed himself and managed to reach a road, where he told his story to pedestrians, who conveyed him to town. The police captured two men. Snarponis’ condi- tion is serious. MONTGOMERY CONVICTED Former Cashier of Allegheny National Guilty of Embezziement. Pittsburg, Oct. 27.—Willilam Mont- gomery, former cashier of the defunct Allegheny National bank, which failed several months ago for more than $1. 000,000, and who wag placed on trial last Friday orn two indictments, charg- ing the embezzlement and abstraction of $469,000, was found guilty as indict- ed by a jury in the United States dis- trict court. Montgomery was immediately put on trial on a third and last indictment charging him with the misappropria- tion of $144,000 in bonds. It is expected the second trial will be disposed of as quickly as the first. Slain By Rival On Bridal Tour. On her bridal trip, which had begun scarcely an hour before, and seated in a railroad coach bound for New Or- leans, almost between her husband and a former suitor for her hand, Mrs. Fred Van Ingen saw the flash of the suitor's revolver, felt the grip of her husband's hand as the bullet killed him, and then fought for her own life, When the girl appeared about to be- come the victim of the second bullet from the revolver, her uncle, a man with gray hair, but cool under the ex- citement, rushed up and thrust his thumb beneath the hammer of the re- volver, rendering the weapon harm- less. This was the story the other passen- gers on the Texas & Pacific “Cannon- ball” told when ihey reached New Or- leans, but the principal actors in the tragedy, most of whom are connected with Louisiana's leading families, have so far refused to discuss the matter. The former suitor is F. 8S. Beauvre, of Plaquemine, La., at which place he was taken ‘rom the train and placed under arrest. The unfortunate hus- band was Professor Fred Van Ingen, a prominent teacher of Alexandria, La., and a relative of former Governor Blanchard. The bride is the daughter of James M. Rhorer, one of the leading officials of Iberville parish, residing at Baton Rouge. Beauvre is twenty- four years old, and Van Ingen was twenty-three. Marrin Gets Fifteen Years. Frank C. Marrin, who has won inter national fame as a swindler, was sen- tenced to not less than fifteen years and not more than twenty years in prison by Judge Dike in the county court, Brooklyn, N. Y., on a charge of perjury. Marrin was a lawyer and politician in Brooklyn until he fled after swind- ling a number of clients with worth- less mortgages. From one woman, Mrs. Barry, he obtained $70,000. The Barry swindle was thirteen years ago, after which Marrin left the country. He was finally traced to Hon- duras. Later he went to Philadelphia and engaged in extensive operations in cotton in that city. Under the name of Judge Franklin Stone he was one of the promoters of the Storey Cotton company swindle.
