Pensacola was held in the chamber of COM
merce to-day to hear proposition from II.

citizens Of this city should subscribe S1OO,-
900 to the capital stock of the company,
one third of which should be paid upon the
completion of fifty-two miles OF the road,
one-third upon the competition Of eighty
five miles, and the remaining third upon
the completion of l40 miles. Ample and
satisfactory evidence of the ability of the
parties to build the railroad was shown and
the proposition was unanimously accepted.
A GOOD START.
Thirty-tt rec thousand dollars was at once
subscribed, and a committee of six repre-
sentative citizens was appointed to
solicit the remaining amount. 1t is ex-
pected that ths total amount will be
subscribed by the middle of next week,
and the railroad IS practically an assured
fact. 1t is stipulated that the work
of location shall begin within sixty days,
grading be commenced by Oct. L, and the
road completed within three years from the
date of beginning. The success Of the enter
prise is due mostly to the unceaslng energy
