ACCEPT PROPOSITION
That is the JRecVmme n atiOn--Bi9 Mass Meeting TOnight-Statement
 Issued By Caldwell.

Everything is harmonious for the pig mass meeting of property owners and other citizens tonight at o'clock at the Jefferson county court house, when the proposition submitted by !. M Parker, president and general manager of the Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf railroad, to extend that road from Hamburg through to this city, north to either Mesa or DeVallS Bluff Ark. will be discussed. Mir. Parker returned to the city yester- day from hurried business trip to Hamburg, and announced that he would remain here and attend the gathering tonight.
 The committee in charge of the Rutherford road fund was unable to do much work yesterday, owing to the fact that many of the business houses were closed in observance Of the Glorious Fourth, but a $1O0 sub- scription was received from Dr. A. w. Troupe and added to the fund. Mir. Troupes subscription makes the total amount subscribed SAP, ,400 This amount does not include the $5,000 subscription of O. E. Mckenzie and w. E. Graham, which will in all prob ability be put on the subscription list this morning. The Mckenzie and Graham donation will bring the total up to $47,400 and leave only $2,6O0 to complete the canvass. This amount will be raised today, the committee believes.
 The Rutherford road proposition. which has been in the hands of the committee several weeks, will be dis posed of before the subscription lists for the Parker road are circulated. The Rutherford road is assured. and as soon as the canvass is completed, work will begin on the Rock Island extension between this city and either Leola or Carthage. Ark. Mir Parker offers to bring the Arkansas, Loui- siana and Gulf road into Pine Bluff and extend it north to either Mesa or DeValls Bluff, to connect with the Rock Island road. He asks a bonus of $10O, ,O00, right of way through the county and city and a site for depot and railroad shops. He says he does not want one cent of the bonus paid until passenger and freight trains are in operation over the proposed route. Three wealthy property oWne"s of this city have already donated sites for the railroad shops and yards, forty acres being offered in each in- stance. It is believed that the S100,- 900 will be raised inside of thirty days. as great enthusiasm prevails here over the Parker road.
 Everything Settled.
 At a conference held yesterday at the Hotel Jefferson. in this city, be- tween committee from the Board of Trade, Mir. Parker and a commit tee from the old Pine Bluff, North X South railroad. matters which have been in the balance for some days were settled for good and the mass meeting tonight promises to reveal the greatest enthusiasm and harmony
