PROGRESS ON C.I. & E. ROAD.

Railroad That Is To Pass Through Jasper County Secures Building Funds. mortgage in Marion county for $15,000,000 on the property of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Evansvjlle Railroad Company, which proposes to build a steam road the entire length of the State from Chicago to Evansville by way of Indianapolis, seems to indicate that the road has been successfully financed and that actual construction work will begin this spring. It is understood that the section between Indianapolis and Evansville will be constructed first. This road is to go through the northwest part of Jasper county and will mean much to the development of that section of country. It is not likely that anything will be done on the north end this season.
