Fifty thousand one hundred and forty bllars has been subscribed for the Rutherford road and it is now absolutely assured Today at 3;3o n,c,oce the twenty directors cf the Pine Bls,. Board of Trade will a. ising the bonus asked for the Arkansas, Loun- siana X Gulf railroad, and if public sentiment ind harmony is criterion, this road will also be an assured fact within sixty days. One hundred thousand dollars will be asked of the citizens and property owners of this city. It is the consensus of opinion that the amount will be raised even quicker than the $50,000 which was listed for the Rutherford road.
 P. P, Byrd and w. C. Hudson did some great work yesterday when Iaey' as members of the soliciting commit tee in charge Of the Rutherford road, raised a balance of $3,720 in one day, which included the several additional subscriptions listed at the railroad mass meeting Tuesday night The Bluff City Lumber Company donated the largest amount for the day, add ing $1320 to the fund The people fully realized that if the Rutherford road fund was not completed it would bSe an almost impossibility to secure subscriptions readily for the Parker road. Now that the Rutherford road is assured and will be realization in few months, the citizens are a unit and enthusiastic in an effort to secure the Parker road, the largest and most important of the two lines sought.
 Secretary Caldwell, of the Board of the meeting of the Board of Trade directors this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, at which time they will work out details of the Parker road prop ositon, in accordance with the re- quest of the citizens meeting held at the court house Tuesday night. Every director is urged to be present. It will probably be several days before the actual canvass for the Parker road is launched, because the direct OTIS will proceed carefully in their work, that no mistake might be made and that the canvass be as effective and thorough as they are able Q make it.
 The following list of subscribers, including those who subscribed at the mass meeting and those who en- abled the soliciting committee to complete their work yesterday, is as follows:

By W. Holt Whifs.

Again ludwig nodded. Then the
question is he said. with elaborate
intelligence. how we can best settle

handy gun might have done the bust
ness. But IL the army Is sufficiently
in terror of its new master for gun
Ito be unavailable. then surely there
should be explosives which a patriot
might use" He talked glibly enough
or "a patriot, seeing that he was in no
way 2 countryman of Schaur's.
The mayor grinned with delight, and
wagged his head up and down again.
You grasp my meaning precisely. he
said
"Of course" said Ludwig, I'VE have
to consider what would happen IL we
were TO attempt to bring about such
a coup d'etat. Ii would be futile to
destroy the Di unless we also destroy
Strong, and that should be simple
matter for a band of determined men.
But are such determined men TO be
found?"
Leave that to me-" said the mayor.
For little while there was silence,
and In the silence Ludwig grew UNI
comfortab BILE. He had come TO regard
Strong not with respect but with ter
ror. He foresaw that he would be
likely to meet with an extraordinarily
unpleasant end were the plot to fail.
In any case Strong's friends would
remain TO be accounted for.
Perhaps he suggested, when the
silence had become almost unbear-
able, perhaps IL would be better. af-
ter all, TO attempt the more peaceful
way first, and that, OF course, is

so. But you see, OF course. there Is
one initial difficulty. Stalvan has de-
liberately betrayed us. He is on tho
side of Strong He appears to be hyp-
Noticed by him. He works with
Strong by day and he works with
him at night. He seems TO have no
motive In life but 10 serve his new
master.
The army, too, will be somewhat
Of trouble TO deal with. He has
placed Gen. Martel in complete con-
troll OF the troops, and you know that
Gen. Martei was never over fond OF
the king

on, but the meeting will be difficult,
for this insolent swashbuckler, IL you
please has not only calmly suspended
the constitution, but has suspended
the sitting OF the chamber as we'll"
Quite So" said Ludwig. but none
the less, there is no reason why SIT
ting should not be arranged for. And
the sooner IL is arranged for the bet
ter. The whole point OF the matter is
whether the people will follow the
lead Of the deputies.
You see." he continued, what we
should practically have 10 do would
be to declare general strike-a strike
among all classes, an absolute refusal
on the part OF professional men. bust
ness men, and the workers. not only
the workers. but the troops, to raise
hand or foot except to help themselves
until Mr.. Strong Is reduced TO throw
ing up the sponge"
The mayor. seeing that Ludwig had
at last evolved some definite plan of
campaign, contented himself with nod
ding and Ludwig spoke again.
