her covered in her. own, blood and per-
Eaps fatally wounded. He then went to
his fathers house. secured a shotgun and

used the gun to commit suicide. Officers
went after (Milander at once, but up to
noon he has not been found.
Mlander is about So years Of age and is
believed to be demented. He was in mu-
nicipal court three weeks ago to answer
to assault upon his wife, and his mental
condition was known at that time. He
promised to leave his wife alone and go
to North Dakota, where he has relatives.

the change would restore his faculties or
do him some good at least. Instead of
going, however,, he went to his fathers
place. His wife is part Indian, and is OF
middle age. Two surgeons are with her,
as her case is desperate one. .-..~ D..

After the ultimatum issued to the West

TIL e Journal printed an exclusive
account on Friday last, it was up 10 the
chamber to make good it's threats.
The Chamber of Commerce cannot very
well force the Western Union company or
the floor, Neither does it especially want
to. The Western Union may continue DO
ing business right on the floor. In fact'
it may have the entire floor to do busl-
ness on for the traders will shortly
remove to the new building. The fact
that the chamber has an application from
the Western Union for extensive space

dence that the company would like 10
follow the trading room into the new
home. But the contract that the cham
Der submitted to the Western Union re.

signed, and the contract granting the
Western Union quarters in the new cham

stands. Meanwhile the plans for the
Postal and North American quarters are
getting under way.

was a surprise to every one. one mem

Building, Warrington. ,..:
Washington, Oct. 6.-The president Is
still moving in the direction Of settling
the coal strike, but is not taking the pub
lie into his confidence At the White
House this morning Secretary Cortelyou
announced that the strike was up for
consideration again to- day, and that pos
sibly late this afternoon, something might
be ready to be given out regarding the
future plans of the executive. This is the
sum total of information that was avail
able up to noon. ::
It is interesting to note, in connection
with the talk Of something to be done
by Governor Stone of Pennsylvania, that
that official is under suspicion OF being
out of touch with Senator Quay and other
dominant party leaders, and willing to
permit the strike to drag out its slow
length to some disastrous conclusion, pro-
vided that such a result would bring
harm to the present leaders OF the repuo-
lican party in Pennsylvania. Governor
Stone was at war with the Quay forces
for months prior to the state convention
last summer. The convention turned
down the Stone candidate for the guber-
| material nomination, since Whlch Time
| Stone has been surly and medltat1ng ven
geance. His refusal to use the machln-
cry at his command to end the strike IS
|
the Quay organization. Mr.. Quay has
talked this all over with President Roose-
Welt What the president can do with
Stone remains to be seen. There Is no
question but the strike would be IN pet
ter shape for settlement if Governor
Stone had acted vigorously.

The Presidents Appeal.
The general impression to-day is that
the president is drafting the text OF an
appeal to Mr.. Mitchell, president OF the
Miners association, to end the strike IN
the interest of the people of the entire
country. Mr.. Mitchell, even If favoranly
impressed, cannot act independently OF
his associates but must call a convention
of the miners to pass on the proposition.
He would naturally govern himself care
fully, for it might mean his overthrow Il
the miners thought he was Weaken1ns'

RELIEF in THE COURTS

He Follows Couple to Cincinnati and
Back to This City-Bradley
Estate-Court Cases.

Thomas L. Peele, father of Miss Grace
Peele, who was married to William Bled-
soc. Of this city. in Cincinnati last week.
appealed TO Judge Allen in the Circuit
Court yesterday to annul the marriage con-
tract of his daughter and Bledsoe. saying
that his daughter is only fourteen years
or age. he was greatly excited ana nad
to be cautioned by the court several times
before he was made to understand that ne
would have to institute proceedings in Gin
clnnau, as the couple are there now ana
the ceremony was performed there. Peele
was indignant at his son-in-law and said
that he would try TO put him in the peni-
Tertiary for marrying his daughter, and the
girl he would have placed in the Reforma-
tory.
Peele went to Cincinnati and found that
his daughter, with her husband, mad
stopped at the Emory Hotel there. He APP
piled to the police department for war
rant for the arrest of Bledsoe, charging
him with perjury in swearing that the girl
was OF legal age to marry. Before the
warrant could be served Bledsoe and his
wife left the hotel, presumably to return
TO Indianapolis. Peele followed them and
after arriving in this city asked the police
to find Bledsoe and arrest him. He said
that the couple had gone to rooming
house on Twenty-frst street and would be
found there. The desk sergeant at police
headquarters advised him to swear out a
warrant for Bledsoe's arrest

The week opens with healthy volume
of trade on the wholesale streets, largely
in filling orders for next months delivery
brought in by the travelling statesmen on
Saturday. There is q disposition among
retail merchants, as the month nears It's
close, to clean up old stocks and see where
they stand before renewing their or

and are ready buyers, but are getting into
the habit of keeping in touch with the
markets and buying more for immediate
requirements. Business is at good vol
ume, and the promptness with which bills
are met and often discounted is salts
factory feature at the present time. The
dry goods houses never before did as much
business in September as the present year,
and prices have ruled steady. Druggists
are very busy, and all articles they handle
are firm. except linseed oils On Commission

each week. and, as in other lines, the
amount OF business transacted this month
has been quite large, the activity Of the

Rumor that the Heirs Have Reached
an Agreement.

The heirs named in the will of James L.
Bradbury, who died in this city in Feb
ruary. 1901, and left an estate of half a
million dollars, have reached an agree
ment at Columbus, Ind, and the
contested case now pending in the
Circuit Court may be dismissed Henry
Bradley, to whom a life estate valued at
about $1,000 was left. and who instituted the
proceedings TO break the will, has been
granted 100000, II is said In the will he
was left life interest in farm in Bar
tholomew county in addition to the money
left to him through his mother at her
death. Henry Bradley, Mrs. Lulu M Oil
yer and Miss Maria Bradley, of Indianap-
oils, and Mrs. Mary B. Houghan, OF john
son county, are the heirs to the estate, and
the compromise Is supposed to have been
reached by them at Columbus.
The compromise agreement gives Harry
Bradley a 600-acre farm in Bartholomew
county, the real estate in indianapolis
known as the HaymaTket, one-third inter-
est In some real estate In Johnson county,
the proceeds from the Bartholomew county
farm for two years and personal property
in Johnson county approximating $1,000 In
value, and $1,000 in cash; also the proceeds
from the Indianapolis property, amounting
to $50 month, for two years.
The suit which is thus compromised has
been pending in the Marion Circuit Court
since last April. Attorneys NJ. d. Emig
and Charles S. Baker, of Columbus, effected
the compromise with the other heirs.

that the receiver OF the ST. Louis, Vandalia

pointed by a state court, would seek TO

and that the state court receiver might
seek to turn the road over to the Goulds.
an inquiry made of ". T. Malott, who was
appointed receiver Of the Terre Haute &
indianapolis and of it's owned, leased and
operated lines. brought out the following
statement from him:
Henry c. Begole was appointed receiver
Of the st. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute
Railroad Company by the Bond county Cir
cult Court. This suit was instituted by
Thomas and others owning only a very few
shares of common stock. They claimed
that the preferred stock was illegally
issued, and that the net earnings of the
company were paid out as dividends on that
stock to their detriment- This preferred
stock was issued many years ago to retire
income bonds which were Issued to cover
expenditures made I'm building and equip

There has been no adjudication of the
question of the validity of the preferred
stock. The Terre Haute e. Indianapolis
leases the Vandalia, and after paying taxes
and interest on bonds the balance of rental
Is paid to the Vandalia Company. All the
stipulations of the lease have been and are
being performed by the lessee, the balance
Of rental now being deposited in fund
created by order Of the United States Cir
cult Court.
There Is no probability OF the lease be-
ing disturbed, and IL the lease were broken
the control would remain the same as at
present, for the Pennsylvania and Terre

the common stock and every share of the
preferred stock, and the Pennsylvania pur-
chased at maturity and is now carrying,
long since overdue and pending an adjust
ment, all the first and all the second mort
