Two Red Bandanna Handkerchief Which Had Been Pierced With Eye holes, Also Found In the Wood Indications Point to Murderers at Being Employes of the Brick Com pany None of the Robbers Hai Been Apprehended.

In addition to the bag they found the weapons the robbers had used is the killing, a Winchester repeating lifle, a shotgun, two revolvers, twe caps such as Italian laborers com monly wear In this part of (he coun try and t'.vo red bandanna handker chiefs which had been pierced with tyeholes and used for nwsks. , The trail of two of the assassin, led In a wide course to the brickyard, where l.'O of (he employes Italians. Hungarians, Poles, largely had been waiting for Dent Fowler's approach with their three weeks' pay. Tbe discovery of Ihe suitcase, the rifle, shotgun and revolvers, etc., to gether with the (rail of the two men, indicate almpst conclusively that em ployes of the Atlas company, Italians ulmostly certainly, were the men wht ambushed Fowler and his negro driv er.

It la Understood That Before Hei Wedding Miss Elkina Will Hav Conferred Upon Her the Title 01 Countesc of Teramo Brlde-to-Bi Will AIo Become a Member of thi Catholio Church Marriage Portlor Will Be $5,000,000. Tarls, Sept. 6. The date for the weddlM of MJsa Katherlne Elkins and thg yrrue of the Abruzzi has been fixed for the latter part of February of next year, according to reiiortt In circulation here, which seem to bt absolutely reliable. It Is stated thai the date was decided upon after a con sultation between the prospect iv bridegroom nnd his brother, the Dukf of Aosta. The meeting took place at' Venice on Aug. 2 and was carefully kept from the public until now. There is every reason to believe that the Duchess of Aosta, who frorr the first has strenuously opposed the match, has at last withdrawn her op position and has abandoned her pro posed second trip to Africa, which was planned with the idea of avoiding being present at the wedding. Duke Will Visit Elkina Family. Within 10 days the Duke of the Abruzzi will pay a visit to the Elkinf family here and at that time arrange ments will be made for the presenta tion of the senator's family to the Italian royal household. In order to avoid newspaper publici ty as much as possible the presenta tion will take place at some obscure town in Italy and the date will be kept a secret until after the ceremo nies. It Is understood (hat before hei marriage Miss Elkins will have con ferred upon her the title of Countes of Teramo, In honor of one of the largest towns In the Abruzzi district. The statement is made at the same time that Miss Elkins will become a menfber of the Roman Catholic church and already plans for her In struction In that faith have been made. Her religious Instructor will be Mgr. Beccarl, the royal chaplain, and he will be aided in the work by M?r. Bisletl, who Is well known In Europe as one of the pope's personal ministers as well as a close friend ol the supreme pontiff. They have al ready agreed to undertake the task of converting Miss Elkins to the Catholic faith and It Is understood that she will be placed under their tutelage In a very short time. The financial arrangements which go with the marriage have been at tended to and it is announced that the matter has been satisfactorily set tled so far as both parties are con cerned. The marriage portion will be $,",000,000, which Is not considered extraordinary In amount here In view of the rank of the prospective bride groom and the wealth of Senator Elkins. All of the arrangements thus far made have been the result of nego tiations between Lieutenant Marquis Negrotto de Camblaso, as the repre sentative of his personal friend, the Duke of the Abruzzi, and Senator Elkins himself or some agent acting for him with full power to elgn any agreement arrived at. All Details Have Been Worked Out. While It has been Impossible thus far to got official confirmation of all this, Paris is firmly convinced that the wedding Is to take place as stated and that all the detail have been worked out and agreed by all parties concerned. A call was made at the Italian em bassy here today and the facts as out lined here were laid before the offi cials with the request that the reportB he confirmed or denied. This was met with the statement that the members of the ambassy staff were unable to confirm but that they wonild not deny (hat the wedding was to take place. Ill private conversation one official talked in a tone that, tended strongly to confirm tho whole matter. KILLED BY HIS OWN CAR Savannah Man Was Driving it When Tire Burst. Savannah, Sept. 6.
