The news of the sudden death OF
Archbishop Bourgade in Chicago first
reached this city shortly before five
O'Clock last evening and was con-
veyed In a telegram to Bishop J.
B. Pitaval While the archbishop was
known to be failing, his condition had
not been considered alarming and the
last reports received by the local
clergy were to the effect that since
his arrival at Chicago he had been
improving. His demise therefore came
as a distinct shock to Bishop Pitaval
and his assistants and caused univer-
sal sorrow throughout the city. The
official announcement of his death was
made to his parishioners at the 6
o'clock mass by simple reading Of
the telegram,

Traction Company to Begin
Construction of New City
Freight Line.
THE FRANCHISE is SIGNED.
DAYTON AND WESTERN OFF,
GALS ACT FAVORABLY AND
DOCUMENT WILL GO TO CITY
COUNCIL MONDAY.

Secretary E. M. Haas of the Com
mercial club was today notified by
General Manager Todd, of the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern trac-
ton company, that his company had
decided to run a freight line through
Glen Miller park, notwithstanding the
fact that such action on the part OF
the company might provoke remon-
strators to appeal Judge Fox's decis-
ion which gave the company the right
to use this street, to the supreme
court.
Local business men are overjoyed at
the decision of the traction company
not to postpone any longer the con-
struction of the north end freight line.
Mr.. Haas was also informed by
Mr. Todd that the franchise ordinance
for the Dayton & Western traction
company which was recently prepared
and signed by the board of public
works was approved by the officials of
the D. & w. and that it had been prop
erly signed and would probably be
ready to submit to council at its meet
ing Monday evening for ratification.
