To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal
In the death of j. o. d. Lilly our city loses
one of her best citizens, one whose loss all will
deeply deplore. He was true friend and died
without enemy. In business he was an en-
thusiast. giving to every enterprise he engaged
in the full benefit of his inexhaustible energies
L will mention only q few enterprises in which
he took prominent part. First, was Grace
Church-now, the Cathedral. To this enter
prise he gave freely his time and money. This
church stands to-day monument to his liber-
atty and energy He also one of the lead
ing spirits who founded ST. Pauls Church At
period he was engaged in the manufacture
of iron, operating blast furnace in southern
Illinois, and owning large interests in iron-ore
lands at the time of his death.
1t in his social life that his real character
istcs show brightest; here he was the modest
Roman of them ALL" here all was Joy. Nothing
was permitted to enter that might mar the So
cial life of his family. He was kind and affec-
tionate husband; his devotion TO his wife was
wonderful He spent most of his last Sunday
in writing her long letter--flled with loving
words to cheer her in her Affections.
The writer knew Mr.. Lilly in business rela-
tons, and socially, for thirty years and can tes-
tify that he was 1.-THE noblest work of God, an

A NOVEL RAIL WAY.
The Odd SingIe-RaiI Line Which Has Been

New York Graphic.
Cheap and light railways have often been
recommended for the benefit of some agricultural
single-ran line of ten miles, from Listowel to
Ballybunion, in North Kerry, was opened by
the directors
This is what is known as the Lartigue single
line systom. the motive power being steam. 1t
differs from the only other single-line
the Giants Causeway which is worked by cleo
tricty. The single steel line is at an elevation of
three and half feet from the ground 1t is
supported by trestle-shaped steel bars attached
to sleepeSs of the same material strengthened
by wood in soft or DOGGY places. The side bars
are about four feet apart and the line proper
presents the appearance of series of isosceles
trian giles, rather than a railway as ordinarily
understood. Along the bars at each side the
rails for the guide wheels OF the locomotives and
rolling stock are placed about foot from the
ground the latter rails assist In steadying the
oscillation of the train when in motion The
switching is done by eccentric turntables fitted
with o curved portion of the rail; the public road
level crossings by portion of the line are made
TO swing back on pivot when required. In
wooden drawbridge raised or lowered by winches
TO the level OF the top rail. When the traffic
has passed over the drawbridge the latter ia
raised by pulling the chain, which is securely
fastened. The working of che machinery of it
self regulates the signals. The engines are fit
provided with tenders fitted with cylinders and
machinery which allows the surplus steam to be
used OF steep inclines for additional motive
power. The wheels which the locomotives
run are IN the central space between the boilers;
they twenty-five inches in diameter.
The cost of the line. including everything in
the shape of material and stocks, has been at
the rate of SIS, 600 per mile

WASHINGTON, March 24-While employees of

ING their bereavement over the death of the
distinguished Chief Justice, commented upon
who would likely be his successor Opinion
seems to be about equally divided as to whether
the President, In selecting successor to Chief
Justice Waite, will strictly observe partisan
lines There is no doubt that a great many
men of influence will recommend to him the
importance which attaches selecting q
without regard to politics. Many have already
stated that Justice Miller, who ranks the other
justices in length OF service the bench and in
ability, should be promoted. Judge gilbert
son, of Texas who presides over the house COM
mittee on judiciary, said to-day that if he were
the President he would like to honor himself
by appointing Justice Miller to the vacancy.
A great deal of pressure will be
brought to bear to have Justice Field appointed
to the place. Besides the names mentioned last
night, there other suggestions for the vacancy
among which are ex-Repressntatve J. Randolph
Tucker of Virginia. a good lawyer and an active
Democrat; Judge jackson, of Tennessee, well
known for his confederate bias and uttersnces;
Judge Sims. of Alabama; Representative Pat

of Chicago; Attorney general Garland. of Ar

TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
While spending two weeks in Kansas recent
ly, was most agreeably surprised to find the
Republicans Of the Srin1ower State so largely,
and often SO enthusiastically, for Benjamin Har-
rison for President in preference TO all other
aspirants. Though Harrison's popularity is a
surprise upon first thought little reflection will
show it to be a very natural sequence to his
character and nature. He is resminently the
best representative OF the personifei idea OF
national Republicanlsm Indiana now has, and
can carry this State against any Democrat that
may be nominated. and for that reason should.
and, in my judgment, will DO nominated.
