railroad, last Friday. Mr.. Hoyne was
on his summer pleasure teur when the
dark angel of death so suddenly hurled
him and his unfortunate companions
into eternity. Chic age is in mourning
deep and sad. The City Council, the
IroQuois, Calumet, Irish American
and other clubs and societies have
passed resolutions Of sorrow because
Of his untimely and very cruel end.
Mr.. Hoyne was one of Chicago's best
citizens and dearly loved by every
honest and honorable man who knew
him. He always hewed close to the
line of honesty, and ever exerted his
energies for the general good of his
fellows. 1t is very doubtful if more
honorable man could be found in any
community. Mr.. Hoyne was born 10
New York of Irish parents in 1917
At an early age he was left a full or,
phan; consequently had to commence
the battle Of life alone. How
ever, being q Roman Catholic,
he had the protection and guidance
that that church endeavOrs to give the
youth of its flock. But his own ener
" and night schools were the chief
agents of his after success In life. He
learned some manufacturing trade,
and while in this sphere became a
member Of a minor literary club at
tacbed to which was Horace Greeley,
and others who became illustrious.
Then he was attracted to the law.
which was his profession at the time
of his death, and for many years pre-.
vious. In 1910 Mr.. Hoyne removed to
Chicago, and soon commenced the
practice of his chosen profession. Be.

and logical OF argument, be soon be

school of politics, and was elected to
some local court Office. He was

no specious political trickster, and alb,

Mr.. Hoyne was United States District
Attorney; at another a Judge; at an

bis big heart and big brain always
worked in harmony for the benefit oil
his fellows. Although sixty six years
old when relentless death hurled him
from the bosom Of loving family and

he was extremely healthy of body. |

brief, it may be said that Mr.. Hoyne
was self.made man constructed out
Of the best natural material by a mas

beauty as time few into eternity.
Alssl the good and great man is gone:
a city and State weep for his sad fate.
and blend their heart throbs with the
poor family whose great and glorious
light has been dimmed forever. The
deceased will be buried to-day in
ROsehill Cemetery. The pail bearers
will be from among the most distin-
guished men OF the country, and the
attendance at the solemn ceremonies
OF interment will be enc of the largest
that ever assembled to pay last sad
tribute to departed worth, aye, great>
ness. Peace to his exalted memory.

The late killing of Carey, the infa.

only regret is that the strangling OF
the horrible reptile could not have
been done without jeppardizing the
life Of him who has ridden The world

The Postal Telegraph Company's
wires, operating between Chicago and
New York, are now run under ground
near the whole length Of the south
division Of this city, and are reported
as working admirably. This fully
