PLEASED" SAYS MAYOR

Elimination of railroad grade crossings in
Indianapolis, question that has been be-
fore the city officials and the managers of
roads entering this city for long time.
seems now to be within but a short time of
solution.
An important meeting of railroad officials
was held in Chicago this week for the con-
sideration of this problem, and the results
achieved at that meeting lead local repre-
sentatives of the Pennsylvania system to
declare that the work of eliminating grade
crossings in Indianapolis may begin this
season.
Officials of the PENNSYLVANIA lines west of
Pittsburg are in Chicago giving attention
TO the proposed work i'm Indianapolis
Plans and estimates for this work have
been prepared by the engineering depart
ment of the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg, and it is understood by all other
roads interested that the Chicago meeting
was for the purpose of adjusting some of
the details between the different roads
concerned in the project The Big Four
and other roads are understood to be heart
lily In sympathy with the Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania lines West were repre-
sented in Chicago by General Manager CT.
l.. Peck, Chief Engineer Thomas Rodd and
Chief Engineer of Maintenance of Way W.
w. Gushing, the latter of the Southwest
system.
The movement for track elevation as it
directly concerns Indianapolis is In line
with general movement in the same di-
rection that has affected Chicago. Cleve-
land, Columbus and Cincinnati Special at
tention has been given this in the last two
or three years, particularly in cities in
Central Traffic Association territory. =
Mayor Hoffman was informed by the
Journal of the Chicago meeting yesterday
evening.
II am glad to hear that the movement is
so well along, said the mayor, land
hope that the long-delayed conference for
the adjustment of this matter may be had
soon. Your news is not great surprise TO
me, as l had been expecting something of
the sort for a number of weeks
II had some information that a settle
ment of the problem would come soon but
nothing definite as to plans. Until the plans
are submitted to me and can be gone over
by the city engineer, / can give no opinion

Benjamin Harrison, Signer
of the Declaration.
HIS LIFE IN INDIANAPOLIS

John C. S. Harrison, who died yesterday
at Los Angeles, Cal, from a stroke of

rison was an ardent Republican and served
at different times as state sinking fund

him in high esteem, and as a delegate to
the Republican national convention of 1876
he labored earnestly for the nomination OF

Angeles and afterwards divided his time
between that city and Indianapolis. Mr..
Harrison was twice married, his first wife

his second daughter of Nicholas McCarty,
once auditor of state and the last wing
candidate for Governor of Indiana. He
leaves surviving him his widow and two
children by each marriage. Mr.. Harrison
was for many years conspicuous In local
business affairs, and his commanding figure
and marked personality always attracted
attention. He possessed a genial DISPOSE
ton and was devoted to his friends and
family.
