PRETORIA, Aug. 31.-The TransvaaPs
ncte to Great Britain in regard to the

cere desire to settle all differences, to

be given facilities in Pretoria to make
an investigation of the franchise ques-

representative should prove satisfactory.
Otherwise, the Transvaat government

cusion, suggested a further conference

William Ferhndolph Kills His Step
father and Then Himself.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, July 29.-Wiiliam
Ferhndolph. living twelve miles north of
this city, near Clarksburg, shot and killed
his stepfather, Wesley Brockover, this noon
and almost Immediately put the pistol to his
own head and killed himself. AS nearly as
can be ascertained, the tragedy was brought
about by the refusal OF Ferhndolph to work
and help support the family. consisting of
the stepfather, mother and three brothers.
The stepfather has been in Ill health for
some time. and frequently quarreled with
Ferhndolph about the latter's refusal to
work. This morning, while William was re-
pairing his bicycle. his stepfather again or
dered him to go and seek work. They had
few sharp words, after which William took
his wheel to a blacksmith shop near by and
repaired IL, returning home at noon. Going
into the house his stepfather said something
to him, when William pulled his revolver
and shot the latter, the bullet taking effect
I'm the left side.
The mother, hearing the shot. ran toward
her son with knife in hand William then
fled TO the front yard, where he placed his
revolver to his right temple and fired, the
BAN coming out the left temple, causing in
slant death.
Bockover died an hour later without MAX
ing any statement to the cause of the
shooting. He was member OF the /. o. y.
r. and bore q good reputation.

OLD MINES REOPENED
IRON ORE PRODUCERS THAT HAVE
BEEN IDLE TWENTY YEARS.
Enormous Demand Threatens to
Combinations Continue.

NEGAUNEE. Mich, July @.-The River
side and Magnetic mines, the frst-named
having been shut down six years ago, while
the other was closed a generation ago, are
to be reopened at once and worked yigor-
ously. Both are located near Republic. The
Kloman mine, near Republic, another vet
eran producer, idle for twenty-five years, Is
likely to resume work soon. 1t is proba-
BILE the Republic mine, one Of the Oldest
and richest mines in this region, will soon
change hands at consideration of $2,0 900,
which Is quadruple the rate the stock in
the mine was selling less than five years
ago.
There are ominous labor disturbances and
demands in the Gogebic iron districts which
may presage big strike. The last strike
of Importance in that district was just five
years ago. Few Of the iron mines Of this
district will be able to produce the full
amount of ore sold for delivery owing to the
scarcity Of labor.

Price of Lumber Advanced.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 2s,-Lumber
will advance another so cents straight Mon
day morning, this being the fifth marked
advance in prices this year. The lumber
interests claim to be entirely justified in
advancing the price. 1t has been many
years since there was such demand as the
present season has shown, and even with
the advancing prices the demand continues
to exceed the supply. In the case of eleva
tor builders, who are using ''cribbing in
great quantities, there seems to be an end
of things. and ii appears that they will
soon have to resort either to the higher
grade of 'cribbing." which is almost too
expensive for the purpose, or take to steel
for elevator bull dings. There have been
but few years when so much activity has
been shown In the elevator business. This
is partly attributed to the growth of new
towns along the Great Northern in northern
Minnesota and the Minneapolis & st. Louis
in the southern part, and partly to the ex-
cellent wheat prospects this season.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO. Ind, July 29.-By order of the
court. the remaining realty owned by
Charles and Augusta Schmidt was sold by
Commissioner Harness this afternoon. 1t
consisted of brick business room ap-
praised at $4,000. and sold for little more
than the incumbrance. This is the last of
an estate Of about $4,000. which Augusta
Schmidt received from her mother, Baro-
ness Chrfstiana Schingling, who died ten
years ago. Mrs. Schmidt Is now serving a
ten years term IN the Woman's Prison at
indianapolis for killing Oscar Walton one
OF her tenants, in 1893. Mrs. Schmidt Is
reputed to be the daughter of Baron Johann
Schingling, and her title Of baroness Is
not disputed 1t was owing to her uncertain
relation to the baron that she was COM
PEELED to defend her name In the courts to
establish her right to the estate. which fin
ally went TO her after the lawyers and
court expenses had absorbed the most of 1t.
The sale OF the last piece of property to-day

practically penniless. The Woman's Prison
term will expire in fifteen months. Her
husband and children now live at Lafayette.

WELCOME TO M'KINLEY
ROOSEvELTs SECRETARY PRESENTS
GOVERNORS COMPLIMENTS.
Mrs. Mckinley Still Too Weak to Take
Carriage Rfde-Grief Over
Two Soldiers Dead.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, July 29.-President
McKinley's first caller this morning was
George Curtis Treadwell, Governor Roose-
velt's military secretary, who bore a mes
sage from the Governor, bidding the Presi-
dent welcome to New York State. The Pres
ident spent most of the forenoon In reading
the newspapers and in attending to his cor
respondence.
Mrs Mckinley was feeling stronger than
she did yesterday. After luncheon a two
seated carriage was brought up with a
driver and the President and his wife took
short drive around the hotel grounds. The
drive proved too much for Mrs. Mckinley,
however, and they returned to the hotel in
less than half hour. The President, as
sisted by Secretary Cortelycu, helped Mrs.
Mckinley from the carriage to wheel
chair, in which she was wheeled to her
apartments. The President is familiar with
the roads in tho vicinity of Hotel Cham
plain, and after Mrs. Mckinley is able to
accompany him they will enjoy the many
beautiful drives along the lake shore and
back into the mountains.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley both
expressed their sorrow on learning of the
deaths Of two members of the Twenty-frst
Regiment, which was In the thick of the
fighting in the last battle near Manila. The
Twenty-first Regiment was stationed at
Plattsburg barracks two years ago, while
the President was here, and each morning
a guard mount was held on the lawn in
front of the hotel, after which they were re-
viewed by the President. Mrs. Mckinley
gave the regiment handsome silk flag,
which they carried all through the Santiago
campaign, and which they are now defend
ing in the Philippines. The regiment came
to be known as the Presidents own" and
both he and Mrs. Mckinley take a special
interest in their movements.
The President has been invited to services
at the First Methodist Church, but owing
to Mrs. McKinley's illness it is doubtful
whether he will accept the invitation.
1t was learned to-day Vice President Ho-
