DALLAS AND WICHITA RAILWAY.


A number of our prominent busl-
ness men and citizens assembled ut
Fields Theatre, yesterday evening ut
halc-past three o'clock, to adopt some
plan to raise means TO insure the COM
pletlon OF the Dallas and Wichita
Railroad. The utmost harmony pre-
vailed, and there was but one senti-
ment among those present, and that
was that the interests Of our city de-
manded that the road should DO Inn
mediately completed.
Colonel John Kerr was called to the
chair, and briefly stated the objects
of the meeting.
Captain w. j. Clark then addressed
the meeting at some lentgh. He said
he believed that Il sufficient number of
property-holders and citizens could he
found to build the road. He, far one,
would give the very last dollar he
could spare. His plan was that note
be given to the company by each in
divldual subscriber for the amount Of
stock he desired to subscribe, and that
the note be payable only when the
road shall have been completed to the
Dallas and Denton county line.
Major Caldwell believed that the
plan was good one, and moved that
committee of six be appointed by
the Chair to canvass the city, and see
what amount Of stock could be raised.
Colonel A. r. Obenchain said among
all the plans proposed to build the
Dallas and Wichita Railroad, he con-
sidered the plan of Captain Clark to be
the best. No citizen OF Dallas, who
had its interest at heart, ought to hesl-
tate to come forward aud subscribe
literally sooner the better.
Mr.. Wheat believed that no one was
more deeply interested in the building
of the road than himself, or who would
be more untiring in their efforts to see
that 1t was done The road was of the
most vital Importance to our city, and
should be completed at once. He
wanted 1t built, and was for it first,
last and all the time.
Messrs. Thurmond, Scruggs, Gamer
on, Dent, and others, also addressed
the meeting In favor of the road,
when the plan proposed by Captain
Clark was put TO II vote and unani.
mously adopted.
The Chair appointed the following
committee to canvass the city and
solicit stock Colonel Caldwell, Major
J. b. Scruggs, Captain w. j. Clark,
Colonel A. 4. Obenchain, Colonel
Pointer, NJ. d. Darlington and J. c.
Dent.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call of the Chair.
