AN ELECTRIC LINETo Run From Indianapolis to Chicago is Projected.What promises to be one of the most important enterprises yet undertaken in the way of electric railway building in this state was put under way Tuesday, when the Chicago Northern Indiana Railroad company filed articles of incorporation in the office of the secretary of state. This company proposes to build a road in every respect like a steam railroad except in the matter of motive power. The plan is to run the line through Lake, Porter, Jasper, Pu-*laski, White, Cass, Howard, Clinton, Tipton, Hamilton and Marion counties into Indianapolis over a private right-of-way.
