THEY STILL KNOW NOTHING

Members of the Elkina Family Continue To Be in the Dark About That Marriage. Pittsburg, Oct. 27.—An attempt to reach Senator Stephen B. Elkins at his home at Elkins, W. Va.. was unsuccessful, owing to tbe senator’s absence

on a campaign tour of the state. To his secretary were read tbe latest reports concerning the alleged engagement of the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins, and he replied: “We know nothing of the reports that the Duke of the Abruzzi announced his engagement at Turin today, and that a wedding will occur in November. We don’t think it is true, however. “The report from Chicago that Mrs. Elkins has confirmed tbe engagement of her daughter to the Italian nobleman is untrue. Ito. Elkins has not given an interview regarding this matter. Furthermore, she will not give an interview. As for the report that Cardinal Gibbons will visit Elkins. W. Va., next week, we know nothing of such a visit here.” ! / Baseball in the Line of Duty. Danville. Ind., Oct. 27.—Charles C.
