Indianapolis is at last promised a new de
pot. 1t will be one "long felt want filed; at
least for years citizens and travellers have
complained Of the smoky structure that was
used by the thirteen railroads that deposited
and received passengers there. All recog-

the rival interests could not agree until now.
The railroads appear to be determined to
make up for their past neglect, for this new
depot will be one of which the Hoozier cap
ital will have cause to be proud. The plans
have just been accepted, and our illustration
